That whenever someone in my family is angry, miserable or upset I am very careful to treat them like eggshells, but when the boot is on the other foot I just get a tirade of, 'what the bloody hell are you so grumpy about, you should try living my life then you'd know how bad things are...this is what it's like for me...blah, blah, blah... and another thing...'.
When you go to add someone as a contact on your iPhone and when you go to add the number you have to go through Radio, Work Fax, etc. before you get to 'Mobile' for the type of contact number.

What's up Stig ? Mum's the word, I won't tell anyone.
The woman doing the voiceover for the NatWest adverts. It's some massive fucking ott mish mash of liberal poo and then you've got this well spoken, middle England Teresa May reaffirming the unconscious bias around serious stuff like finance. 'We are what we do'

The 2017 World Athletics Championships are taking place at the Olympic Stadium in July.
The official/commercially-friendly name for this event is the Muller Anniversary Games 2017.
What does this mean? That imbecilic bitch Nicole Shitsinger is back with another excruciating advert to celebrate the launch of Muller's new "Golden Balls" yoghurt/rice/pureed shit product that I will definitely not be buying ever ever ever.
This time around, she's wandering across an athletics track, yoghurt in hand. But oh no, there's a race going on, and Nicole's walked right in front of the runners due to being preoccupied with her banal yoghurt obsession. It's about as funny as falling cock-first into an industrial wood chipper.
I'm so confused. She's so fit, but so annoying. Every time I see her, my anger grows rapidly and immediately. But so does my....y'know.
I'm fed up with programmes that have to show you the best bits in a 30 second montage before the programme starts then after the adverts has to remind you what happened before the break. We are not bloody goldfish!! Thank god for Sky+

The fecking hoops you have to jump through to just apply for a job.
The superlative-filled job specs and person specs that accompany every job advertisement. Why do they have to make every vacancy sound as if western civilisation will crash if they can't fill a post with their particular desired image of hyper-motivated beaver drone?
Any recruiter who expects their potential recruits to be 'passionate' about their job or their industry should be crushed like a bug under the weight of superfluous words they expect people to spout in applying. Passion is for lovers you idiots, not for corporate head-nodders. And another thing, not every job is strategic. In fact not every management job is strategic. In fact, here's the killer, most management jobs aren't strategic. Most are about seeing an organisation through the everyday hassles and problems it faces. Go and read Michael Porter to see what strategy is all about before introducing it into every job spec. You'll be amazed at how far removed it is from most people's work experiences.
Their hyperbole serves no useful purpose. It demotivates decent people whilst acting as an incentive to bullshitters and chancers. Here's an idea, just try being honest: we're looking for an ordinary person do an average job for as little money as we can get away with.

Cheers stig.
I just spent an hour applying for a job where I think they now know more about me than my mother does.
I had to tell them my nationality 4 times in 4 different ways!!
I don't see why they can't just look at my CV and decide whether they want to see me? Then I can jump through their hoops. Why do I have to spend an hour of my time just to maybe get a rejection?

One that I'm having a punt at;
"You will be an innovative thinker, able to demonstrate positive outcomes from the implementation of your ideas, and be able to provide new and creative solutions to problems. You take a collaborative approach to your work, and enjoy discussing complex, multidisciplinary projects and assignments with scientists and fellow engineers. An experienced mechanical engineer, you will have excellent knowledge of scientific and engineering materials and how to fabricate with them from your substantial background in precision engineering design and manufacturing environments."
They should have said, "you need to draw a widgets after having a chat"
I know these type of people and know they do not have the slightest understanding of what they are actually asking for. At the interview there will be at least 4 people asking set questions which you will probably correctly answer while they sit there pretending they've understood every syllable.

I'd give you your poster of the week award for that. I cannot stand it. Job specs immediately make you feel like an ant I find. This is us, we're the best company in the world, we're going to make you feel like you'd be lucky to apply.
It's a wider problem in business in my opinion. Bullshit and more bullshit. People tripping over themselves to come out with the wankiest possible waffle

With us both feeling the same Cabbles, it's amazing that we both got through the moderator's selection event.
