Reservoir levels in the NW are at 90.6%.There is no shortage,according to United utilities.Remember though the North West is on a different continent from London.

Considering that, unlike electricity, we don't have a national distribution network for water it may as well be. http://www.unitedutilities.com/Keepingthewaterflow...

People whose only contribution to a thread is:
Especially if they quote a really long post and then just add to the end of it. Or "+1", or "^this".Quote the really long post, delete the stuff between the quotes, perhaps replace it with "Stuff", "stuff about horses" or "sensible stuff", then add your poxy little contribution.

Smokers! 
Not all of them but I work with five workmates that smoke. I don't smoke but at break I don't want to be in an empty office so I join them for a chat.
What annoys me is that while they don't offer me one (which is nice) four of them just blow smoke right in my face (is there a special term for that?)
I understand if wind catches it or I am in the way, but nine times out of ten I am out of the way. Just one work mate will appologize if he gets it in my face by accident which I appreciate.
I know it is not a very good rant, but it still very annoying.

I'm a (kind of) ex smoker (haven't had one in 4 weeks), so I am at the point that I am pretty much against any form of smoker, but I'm on their side with this one!! You're in the one area they have left, if it annoys you, don't go out there! Not all of them but I work with five workmates that smoke.

My Android phone, and all similar electronic devices that, when they fail to carry out an operation, inform that the the operation has failed. I wouldn't mind quite so much if it told me WHY the operation had failed, I might then be able to do something about it.
And the fact that it often doesn't want to react to touch inputs on the right hand side of the screen.

TBH IDK WTF you're on about. AIUI, it's up to the reader to being some level of domain knowledge to the exchange, otherwise they're likely to end up pissing up a rope whilst everyone else runs it up the flagpole to see who salutes in the synergistic thoughtshower.singlecoil said:

Indeed. Why, I was only watching a Digital Versatile Disc on my television in order to test the new High-Definition Multimedia Interface cable I had connected it with (the 'Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs' cable having proved a little poor on quality) when my mobile telephone rang. It was a fairly poor signal, but fortunately my aforementioned mobile telephone dropped out of 'Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network' mode and into 'Groupe Spécial Mobile / Enhanced Data rates for 'Groupe Spécial Mobile' Evolution' mode and it was fine then. But I digress. It turns out that their internet connection wasn't working. I asked if there was a problem with their 'Asymmetric digital subscriber line' connection, or possibly their Internet Service Provider, but it turned out that they had inadvertently mis-configured their Internet Protocol address and it was easily fixed.
Anyway, on to the subject of your annoyance. Perhaps the person on question credited you with the intelligence to understand what they were talking about and felt that it would be patronising to explain things to you that they assumed you knew?

I get the impression some on this thread find other's posts just a teensy bit annoying.
Don't know why but it's just a gut feeling.
It's like having an otherwise intelligent woman who is simultaneously autistic, pregnant and menstruating in the room. You know that they have the capacity to provide a high quality input, but you're forever tip-toeing around them for fear of having an entire train of thought derailed.Don't know why but it's just a gut feeling.
