Fireworks dragging on for weeks. Yet another bunch tonight, no warning so I can't prepare for the dog's panic. I'm ordering a catapult and a bucket of ball bearings. Any more and your car is going to look like you parked it in Mariupol.
I've had an on going problem with BT. They have even opened a complaint for me (although I didn't ask for it) and now they've closed it (although the problem still exists one month later).
It seems they are missing a trick though. My D-I-L ordered tickets for the Polar Express, Tonbridge Wells, but they came through for Devon. After she complained she received this message:
Hi, No you don't need to drive to Devon! The Tech Elf is currently hitting the server with a very big candy cane to tell it off. Kind Regards,
Sparkle McSnowflake
Head Ticket Elf
At this stage I've got nothing to lose. Next time I call BT I may ask if their Tech has tried hitting the server with a candy cane. It seems to get results.
In a very formal voice say you want to speak to Sparkle McSnowflake in person and won't settle for anyone else. Then when someone comes on the line tell them they're a c***.
drawing Qatar in the company sweepstake. £1 I'll never see again
Pretty sure I read someehere that they're thinking about banning opposition victories over their side in this world cup, so you could well be in with a shout mate

That's my kind of corruption!
Can't be worse than when I drew Brazil in 2014. I'd practically spent the winnings before Germany pumped them 7-1

Yes, it would upset the Royal Family so they’ve changed it…
I'd love a second go. When I did it, we spent most of the time in a side office whilst the lawyers squabbled over technicalities. When we were allowed back in, it was to be instructed by the judge that we had to acquit.
I bought a 2 litre bottle of milk at Morrisons Chatham today,I could not open it,the top was totally immovable,I used a screw driver to make e hole in the top.How many of us constantly get tins and other containers which require Herculean strength to access the contents.

We used to use a straw at school !
I did but all we had to do was put a thumb through the lid and there you go.Now many food items must be impossible to use by someone who is not in the peak of physical fitness.Also while I am on my soapbox,what about getting tablets out of those silver paper holders ,you could die attempting to get your medication.

this, this and more this
my tegretol are fine but I can't remember the last time i managed to get cocodamol out without snapping them (unless i pierce the film)
Tablets where you only have to take half of it a day. It took me about six weeks to work out the ideal pressure to put on the tablet cutter to stop half of the pill crumbling into dust...

Just snort the dust and have the other half later, what's the worst that can happen?
Sitting in spoons and hearing a group of young (well early 20s) people moan about the fact that when they received their meal they didn't get their drink which is included. Instead of walking a few yards to the bar where there is 3 members of staff to make their complaint known they spend an age to do it on the spoons app. Which they eventually give up on.
drawing Qatar in the company sweepstake. £1 I'll never see again
How about arranging the sweepstake at work every tournament/grand national, changing the prizes so that the worst performance gets a wooden spoon cash prize but then drawing an average team/horse who has no chance of being really good or really bad, every. God. Damn. Time.

I got sick of sweepstakes whether for horse races or football tournaments as half the participants have no real interest from the start. Much better to have a sort of predictions competition, at least for the football. I designed one for work a few tournaments ago that kept the interest of 80% of the participants alive until the final, and you could see where you stood as the thing went along.

Done ours as a goals scored competition. Everyone gets four teams - one from each pot. The person with the highest scoring combination is the winner. Should hold people's attention a little longer than drawing a poor team and knowing you're out before a ball has been kicked.
I f*ckin love Christmas, and people doing it early should make no difference to me, but here I am, all generally annoyed.
People think I am a right scrooge because it annoys me too. But like you, I actually love Christmas - starting it eight weeks in advance stops it from being "special" to me. Two weeks before is plenty.

I’m good from December, first weekend of it. Like you say, it’s gotta be kept special.

'Meeting cadence' and/or 'operating rhythm' !!
Don't you just mean how often and when?
No we don't have time to stop and stare. Stare at what anyway? It's not as though we're in a William Henry Davies poem.
'Proof of concept' - Does it work?

(OK, maybe not).
Why can't they leave nice things alone?
