I didn't mean that if you use one then you use them all. I meant that if you accept that one internet forum is ok to use then you accept that any internet forum is ok to use.

Facebook is no different to PistonHeads.
Yup, exactly the same. 
What on earth is wrong with everyone on PH this week?
The judges on Britain's Got Talent.
Not them per se, just the way that Cowell makes them out to be some kind of superstars. The whole "arriving in a limo onto a red carpet", to "canned" screams and whooping out of all proportion to the number of vacuous knuckledraggers who've turned up to watch.
And then that entrance - the curtains and the ridiculous overdressing, and walking towards the audience as if they're deities. Ye gods. Cowell seems to think they're more important than the acts themselves. Blood-boiling stuff.

British weather
Clear sunny sky this morning, good forecast, so I wash a load of bedding. Within 10 minutes of hanging it out to dry it's clouded over and started to drizzle
I was going to water the plants this morning! Had a quick look at the weather report and found I didn't need to! Clear sunny sky this morning, good forecast, so I wash a load of bedding. Within 10 minutes of hanging it out to dry it's clouded over and started to drizzle
Public sector workers but really I'm referring mainly to local council workers. Ten working days just to acknowledge an email? Then, if you call them, they won't listen to a word you're saying and just try to make an issue someone else's problem in some other department. Bunch of f

fking lazy wkers!k you. I'm employed to do a technical job, not to answer ranting whinges from someone who is pissed off that their neighbour is parking outside their house and thinks that because they're a taxpayer that they should have some sort of Batphone hotline and a team of people just to suck them off. If there was an office full of people just to answer every over-emotional whining email then you'd be moaning about non-jobs, wasted money etc.
Pick up the phone and ring, or go in and see them.
Over-expectant armchair experts annoy me beyond reason today.
Now. I'm going for a lazy w

Public sector workers......
In had the 'pleasure' of working in the public sector very briefly this year. Got made redundant soon after starting - and have been trying to get copies of my pay slips, after they decided to post my P45 to the wrong address. To say the payroll department have been uncooperative is an understatement. Can't decide whether is simple incompetence, bloody minded jobs worthiness - or a combination of the two.People who wander around aimlessly with no awareness of people around them, and just randomly change direction or just stop. I have half a mind to deliberately run into them with my supermarket trolley and then go "oh, sorry", rather than trying to avoid them. But I don't - I just "Oh FFS" under my breath and then bh about it on an internet forum when I get home. How very British.
h about it on an internet forum when I get home. How very British. I agree. Very frustrating. It's the ones who do it at the entrance/exit that really fk me off.
If I were a driving instructor, my first lesson to any of my students would be to give them a shopping list and a trolley at a busy supermarket and make them analyse how stupid people are. And that most of them have driven there.
