Almond Croissants, delicious and one of my favourites when having breakfast out.
NOW though, there's the ones that have custard, or some such goo inside and it's not clearly labelled and then the anticipation of delight turned into a huge nightmare of disappointment!
Just browsing through the newspaper this morning - feeling slightly irritated at seeing yet more pictures of Coleen Rooney on yet another holiday - FFS how many holidays does that girl need? When I go on to read that she has signed a 'multi million pound' deal with Disney plus to give her side of the Wagatha Christie story.
Jeez man!!! There's something wrong with society, with life, with people.
I think back to that night in the pub when I drew a circle in the spilt beer on the bar. I said to my mate, 'If that's society, this is me over here' and I dabbed my index finger an inch outside the circle. He said, 'No Raith, If that's society this is you over here and moved my point six inches further out.
I now think even that was a conservative estimate. I'm going for a lie down!
It's employee engagement survey time again at work. Having spent all year listening to everyone telling me how pissed off they are I know that most will, as usual, lie on the survey and say all is great. Management will see all these false responses and assume that everything is great and everyone is happy so nothing will change. I can then spend the next year listening to everyone tell me how shit everything is

Ah yes. I get this.
I remember doing this over 10 years ago when you knew the survey results when published would result in action plans I.e more work for the staff to fix things for themselves. By that I mean token but bureaucratic things to ‘pretend’ we are changing more meaningfully.
Anything but improve pay and reward which would really keep most happy.
Computer applications where hitting the carriage return button sends a message rather than setting up a new line of text. MS Teams is a real bummer for this, but there are others.
I think that's where the issue is. People don't 100% trust that clicking on a link they've been sent can not/will not be traced
At a school I worked at a few years ago, a handful of people criticised some quite specific negative elements of the principal’s lack of professionalism. When the results were received (and before they were fed back) a few staff were asked by him if they knew anyone who made those comments. Some of those people complained to HR that he’d done this. Fast forward a couple of weeks and the survey results were fed back - no mention of the criticism. And as far as I know, no action against the principal for either the original complaints or for asking for names of his critics.
That’s why some people are reluctant to be completely honest on these surveys.
I remember one year where hardly anyone completed the staff survey forms.
My boss was just back from long term sick and he suddenly became quite emotional at the close of a meeting. He blurted out, 'What is wrong with me?' There were about twenty of us all looking at each other in shock. Apparently the fact that no one could be arsed with the survey had reflected very badly on him.
I as the oldest relic in the room was able to put him right. I told him that most bosses (at the time) pointed out the section of the survey that appertained to them and 'encouraged' their staff to fill it in - hopefully positively. I did of course add the caveat that when the boss plays ball with us we can play ball with them. (I was coming up to retirement anyway )
Television programmes that start - "In this series we will be looking at . . but, in today's programme I will be taking . . . but first Fred's got important news for . . . Fred over to you . . .thanks Sally, later I'll be showing you how to . . . but next Anne will take you through the steps of . . ." Just start at the beginning and go through the programme, let items be a complete surprise!

I didn't know there was a name for it, I feel quite proud now and will use that word next time I explain the meaning of life in spilt beer.
Really getting pissed off with the amount of road signs that are being covered up by overgrown bushes and trees,this is causing people who are depending on this signage to be unable to know where they are going until the last minute.
Generally people standing in doorways, entrances, exits or the narrowest parts of aisles, platforms etc causing bottlenecks pinch points etc when there's loads more space in plain view just yards away More especially bods with trolleys, pushchairs, rucksacks, whatever making their blockage even bigger Just get the effing eff out of everybody else's way you self obsessed inconsiderate blights on humanity - life will be so much sweeter as the number of justifiably irate people won't be bumping into you, tutting, hissing and shoving past you gormless oxygen spongers. One bump might be a clumsy twat, two, three, more means you're the problem - best of all just stay home out of everybody's damn way.

It's a nightmare if you're trying to get to Bushey

especially when they're doing it at doorways to smoke
Living in a country that is infested by legalised pick pockets. There are so many companies nowadays who seem to earn fortunes by mugging the public. The current number one on my hate list is NCP who charge £1 per minute (after a heavy up front charge) to wait in a queue to pick people up from Luton Airport. I was charged £31 the other day when I went to pick my son up. How the fuck is this legal?
People in the media who over-emphasise con/com on certain words. COMputer, CONtinue, CONcerned. Sometimes a northern thing but not always. Someone tell me I’m not the only one who’s noticed this. Sounds ridiculous.
Optics. As used by politicians to describe communications of policy. Actually anyone using the word optics when not in a pub, using a scientific instrument or telescope.

When you deliberately use up the open food/drink you don't like as much first to stop it taking room up in cupboard, and so you get to move onto the previously unopened nice stuff.
Then your wife assumes you really liked the first one as you drank/ate it all and buys more.
Pisses me right off when kids,who kill and maim other kids/people,cant be named,for legal reasons. Fuck 'em, theyre man enough to murder then the whole world should see their faces,know their names,let everyone see what a big man they are.

FFS, NO, on so many fronts.
