Going into shops at this time of year on the possibility of grabbing a bargain. The rail says "Up to 70% off". There is never anything on there at 70% off, and I suspect there never was. A bit of a con.
I always obviously stick to the speed limits when driving around, but what annoys me is when you're driving through a village and the limit drops to 50kmph or even 30kmph and some c*** is sat right up your arse, it happens all the time here as I don't think the French generally have any sense of personal space when driving. You look at them in tbe mirror and they're totally oblivious to the fact they're only about 3 foot from your rear bumper. What makes it even worse is when they're in a clapped out old 1.1 and you're in quite a capable motor that leaves them standing on an open, safe bit of road.

Or if they are the clothes only fit the freaks of the world... size 13 shoes or 26 inch waist strides.

And the words 'up to' are in micro lettering as per my tailor M&S this morning.

In a large national Supermarket here in Portugal yesterday. 1 Litre of Coca-Cola, any type, advertised as up to 25% off. Diet coke, caffine free, zero and zero caffine free all marked up as reduced from 1.09 to 1€ = 8% discount. Regular Coke - supposedly reduced from 1.35 to 1€...
Technical objects that don't work until the person due to repair them turns up.
My Sky dish cables have been playing up for weeks, it finally gave up completely at the weekend and the box would not 'initialise' at all, nothing but a blue screen. Got a local engineer booked, arranged to work at home, hoping it would be an easy fix. He turns up, switches on the box and everything works fine ARGH!
Now I am left sitting here waiting for the thing to go wrong again, knowing that the fucker will start working as soon as the engineer appears.
Had this with BT, in a way. Broadband speeds are awful but obviously when their lines are open it's office hours and not bad, weekends and evenings when it's awful because everyone is online, lines are closed.

Misleading pricing. Was in IKEA this morning. Decided to have a breakfast before shopping. The display said in very large type “small veg breakfast £1.75.”. Ordered 2, got to the till and was told they are £2.50 each unless you are a Family Card Holder. Sure enough in tiny writing on display at the bottom it said this. Given I intended to spend at least £200 - £300 on various items I decided to leave the breakfast and go somewhere else to get the bedding, towels, rug, doormat and tea towels I ended up getting in several other nearby shops. So their trickery lost them the breakfasts I left at the till and the profit on my other purchases.

Bet the difference in cost of bedding, rug, towels, doormat and tea towels was more than £1.50 difference in other nearby shops though mate

I don’t think it was actually, it’s sales season after all. And as far as I know IKEA don’t do sales. Even so the principle, to me, is worth any extra I ended up paying.
Darren Bent's on Sky Sports News' "The Transfer Window" show this evening.
Let's start the show with a quick montage of some of Darren's goals (you know what's coming).
Here's Darren scoring for Derby, here's Darren scoring for Villa, here's Darren scoring for Villa again, here's Darren scoring for Spurs, here's Darren scoring for Sunderland. That's your lot.
One basket supermarket checkouts staffed entirely by under 18s so when you just nip in for a bottle of wine there's still a faff while a supervisor is summoned to approve the transaction

My own procrastination. Been meaning to order tickets for a band playing in Leeds on their UK tour for the last couple of weeks but have been putting it off because in my mind they ‘wouldn’t sell out’. Thought I’d finally order them this morning and yep, they’ve sold out. Ffs!

When a trusted public figure like actor Tony Robinson appears in the latest TV advert promoting the sale of coins distributed by the scam merchants London Mint Office.
Given his socialist values, for which he was knighted, which presumably make him anti profiteering and concerned with exploitation of the little man, he is nevertheless happy to participate in a confidence trick, duping uninformed coin collectors to part with paying ten times the market value of the coins they receive making huge profits for the company. Many think they are buying from the Royal Mint.
There are heart rending stories of collectors over a lifetime bequeathing their collections to their widow in the belief it will provide financial security on their death, only for the widow to find she has acquired scrap metal.

I very much doubt he was given an honour for being a socialist.
Farouk James, Youtube kid who is complaining that all the local secondary catholic schools demand that boy's hair should be cut to a reasonable length.
Farouk (8) says it will make him feel sad and change his personality. Meanwhile Mummy is saying that he wouldn't cut his hair for a hundred pounds and she will simply fill in the school's application forms as 'non binary' when it comes to sex, that way the school will be forced to accept him.
This is not a religious thing, it may be to do with his status on Youtube, but either way imo, you wanna go to a specific school, abide by the rules.
Jeez when I think ... my first senior headmaster ruled with an iron rod, you hardly dared to breathe when you walked past his study. If he heard you you'd be thrashed within an inch of your life. Our precious little Farouk wouldn't have had to have his hair cut, it would've fallen out!

Why should a child's hair affect their education? A girl can have long hair and girls do better in school than boys.
People who bang on about their varied and eclectic taste in music, but when you talk to them it turns out that everything they like is mainstream. The only thing that's varied is the time span: their taste is for nothing more than 30 years of heart hits.

I see it as kids have to learn to follow rules outside of home - Hairstyle and what you wear shouldnt affect your education but what does it teach them later in life? - Wouldnt look good if they turned up for work or an interview in whatever atire they wanted.

F#*k you Sky. We'll get plenty of coverage from BT Sport when we're in the Champions League. In the meantime, f%©k you Sky.
Apparently "My Sandra could have scored that one"
