Could not agree more, think I have only ever had two jobs where the owner paid me cash! Everything else is is down to BACS (just kidding! It's Friday and I'm in a teasing mood)
Sadly I have just had to sign up to the Government debt recovery service, which is going to cost me more money
Sounds minor but...... We have a hook above the sink to hang the washing up brush from. On the very rare occasion that my missus uses it, she always then chucks it in the sink that she also hasn't bothered to rinse properly. I'd rather she just chucked everything in the dishwasher, it would do wonders for my blood pressure.
BBC news going on about the Labour Party conference as if any of it mattered. It doesn't. It might matter in the year before the next election, but it sure as f
k doesn't now. It wouldn't matter if they all took their clothes off and went for a swim and all got drowned or bitten by sharks.
But I suppose Brighton is nice this time of the year, so might as well send a big crew and a dozen journalists down there, and they can all pretend to be important people reporting on important stuff.s.

s.They cover all the parties every year as you well know. Can you imagine the howls of outrage at the BBC there would have been if they just hadn't bothered reporting on the Conservative party conferences during the Blair/Brown years?

Mountain bikers with a sense of self-entitlement.
Scene: On top of the moors above Buxton, desolate path leading to a stile. My dog and I approach the stile where two 40 yr old blokes in full stormtrooper regalia are manhandling their mountain bikes over the gate.
Me "I don't think you're supposed to be on this trail"
"Well there's no sign telling us not to"
"You see your weight through the narrow tyres pushes them deep into peat and mud and widens the path, eventually ruining it for all users"
"Oh right, well there was no sign telling us we couldn't bike here"
"The sign at the bottom of the trail you must have come up to be here says 'walkers only'"
"But at the start of this section it doesn't say no bikes"
"It doesn't say no cars either, because it's perfectly obvious to anyone this is a protected peat moor and won't withstand anything more than footfall, it says 'protected moor" by that stile you've just carried your bikes over"
"It doesn't say no bikes though..."
[under breath] fking hell

You should have said "well, it doesn't say no dog attacks either.." as you stooped down to let him/her off the lead.Scene: On top of the moors above Buxton, desolate path leading to a stile.

The dog stood watching this confrontation with a tennis ball in her mouth, tail wagging. Assuming the dog was on a lead and looked physically threatening of course
