How to inflate tyres, as observed at Tesco this morning
1. Pull up at tyre pump
2. Get out of car
3. Check tyre pressure label on doorpost
4. Walk to front of car
5. Get back in car, then re-emerge carrying rubber gloves
6. Put on rubber gloves
7. Take off rubber gloves and remove valve caps
8. Put on rubber gloves
9. Remove one rubber glove and extract 20p coin from pocket
10. Walk to tyre pump
11. Walk back to drivers door and read tyre pressure label
12. Walk towards front of car, then back and reread tyre pressure label
13. Walk to tyre pump, insert 20p, and set tyre pressure
14. Reread tyre pressure label to see whether you set the pump for the front or rear tyres
15. Inflate rear tyres
16. Read tyre pressure label
17. Set tyre pump for front tyre pressure
18. Inflate front tyres
19. Return hose to tyre pump
20. Get in car
21. Drive 6 inches
22. Get out of car and replace tyre valve caps
23. Get back in car and pull forward a little, but not enough for the next car ( me ) to get to the tyre pump
24. After a pause, drive off

No way all that was done on one 20p. You barely get enough time to pull the hose round and inflate 1 tyre, never mind the other 3.

Slow internet at home. After investigation I find the bint gave the neighbours the WiFi password, 10 yes 10 devices were connected from next door.
I've changed the password now but expect a knock asking us to investigate what's wrong with their WiFi.

That's a properly impressive level of pisstaking.

He's 16 now, he's as well as expected although he's decided to refuse treatment now 
tter even without all the additional considerations. I started at the Boccia England athlete academy training pathway thingy a few months back, got a new classmate last week, same classification as me (BC3, sending balls onto the court with a chute, for those who can't throw it at least 4 m) and same condition as your lad, 18 years old - is Sheets Jr into any sporty stuff? I had a go at powerchair football last year, it was hilarious… think for being able to get really competitive, boccia is probably the best bet though.
No he's very depressed, doesn't want to leave his room. He's seen all his friends go to prom etc and he's sick of his treatment. We are trying really hard with him and have a team of people working with us but he's refusing food, refusing his meds, refusing to go out.
Sorry for derailing the cheery thread :S

People who think it's funny to say, "Oh, no pay this month!", when the paperwork isn't in their hand on payday. Even more so when it's kids who've never even had a non-BACS paid job! Seriously, please do fk off!
People with wax shoulders who are incapbable of doing their job so that I have to clean up their menial st, which, as I have to get back story first, takes me half an hour instead of the two minutes (literally) it would have taken them if they'd been even halfway towards being competent.
People who forget things.
There was another one, but I've forgotten it.

Yes, I am annoyed at myself beyond reason for forgetting my previous third annoyance.
On a similar vein, when my mum moans about restaurant prices and says "£xxx for that! I could do it for a fraction of that!" and I say "Ok mum, so how much do you pay yourself for your time? How much are you contributing to the mortgage, to the maintenance of the house, for the electricity and gas you used, the purchase of all the kitchen equipment you used, the cost of replacing any of it if it breaks or gets damaged, for having to throw the meal away and start again if you get it wrong, for cleaning the table, hoovering under it, washing the plates, glasses and cutlery, and washing the table cloth?"
Apparently this is 'not the point'.

Buying electrical items and the demands for all your personal information.
Went to buy a kettle recently at Currys. "I'll just take your address and an email"."Why? I'm just buying a kettle."
"It's for our database."
"Well I'll just take the kettle, I don't want to give you all my details."
"I can't do that, we have to take your details."
"Okay fine, I'll buy a kettle somewhere else."
Started to leave.
"Oh wait, I can do it without taking details."
Paid cash for kettle and left.
There is no compunction to give over all your details when buying stuff, they just want you to think there is.

I simply won't go in their shops - the sales force know sweet FA about their goods and panic if you don't respond according to their training and script.
Locally, there are quite a few new building developments. The developer nearly always puts up a sign saying " An exciting new development"
No its not!! Its some bloody identikit lego houses. This is not exciting.
If I saw the JCBs' on site having a banger derby that would be exciting- or perhaps the best looking sales girls having a naked mud fight somewhere on site.
Apart from that sort of thing, your overpriced, shoddy built houses are not exciting.
