25 is pleasant in an air conditioned office environment but would be too warm in a centrally heated residential setting.
No it isn't. And it's positively unpleasant if you are in a suit and tie.

The absolute, 24 carat knobjockey of a cyclist at Cambridge Station this morning who decided that, notwithstanding the whistle having blown, the closing door beeps having started and the shouts of station staff, decided that no, his journey was more important than anything and got himself and his bike wedged in the doors and forced his way into the train.

I have 3 tips for you, you cretin:
- all of that noise is about safety: yours, the other passengers, people on the platform. It means that the heavy doors are closing and the even heavier train is about to move.
- get up earlier, you utterly selfish prick, and then you wouldn't have to rush.
People who say they're going to make a certain number of points then fall short.

When your insurance renewal comes and you have to go through the game of 'Turkish Bazaar' haggling to get their best price. I'm an existing customer who's never made a claim, I should be getting your best price without having to spend half an hour on the phone to you asking for it!

Being afflicted with an occasional 'Chanson du Jour' (a snippet of a song that keeps playing in your head whether you want it to or not). I make a conscious effort to ignore it but as soon as I think about something else, there it is, playing over and over again. Today's, being "Under My Thumb" by the Rolling Stones, isn't too bad, but I have had some pretty awful ones.

You swine, I've now got "Chansons d'amour" going round in my head.

My almost permanent earworm which overtakes me at any given moment, although not when 'overtaking', is the finale of the 1st movement of Beethoven's 7th symphony.

It arrives like thunder and is uplifting, stirring and feel good. Makes hanging out the washing a pleasure.

Somewhat involved procedure with my model of mobile, it might be possible but haven't chosen to invest the time in it yet.

Someone phoned me on the mobile the other day, which for various reasons is turned off a lot of the time. But they managed to leave a voicemail, which is strange as I don't have it enabled. So now it says "1 new voicemail message" on the screen even though I listened to it, and it was just a computerised voice saying something so short I couldn't get it.

Utility companies that demand you make an appointment for access to something they need to inspect and then just don't turn up.

Then no phone call, e-mail or text message giving a hint they are taking the piss and wasting your time.

Had this with BT and now SSE, wkers the lot of them.
