That's very kind, but I was very nearly serious. I assume Rooney is something to do with the thugballist, but I've never heard of the other one.
Thugballist? I bet you’re a proper card at dinner parties, aren’t you dahling?Just driven into Bristol city centre for the first time in months. f
k me I'd forgotten how annoying it is. People who don't know how wide their car is, so refuse to go through a gap 2ft wider than their car. No one seems able to reverse so you have to reverse twice as far instead and then you don't even get a thank you. Idiots driving round looking for a parking space oblivious to the fact you are trying to pull out of a parking space and if they actually stopped to let you out they could have that space. The ignorant woman who blocked me in when I stopped to get a pasty on the way home as her time is obviously more important than mine. Grrrrr. Got a doctors appointment in an hour and a half too, so hopefully typing this will lower my BP enough to not get shouted at, although pasty and bread pudding probably don't help !

Tradesmen working not on building sites, e.g. in your office/home, who turn up with their own radio.
Oh yes. Had someone at home for a week building some cabinets and doing some carpentry work downstairs recently. I clearly said to him that I worked from home and would be on calls upstairs. 10 minutes later the whopping great DeWalt radio comes out and starts booming.Probably been covered already and I'm sure this won't be the last time: being unable to speak with anyone in customer services because of 'the ongoing pandemic' which is then used as an excuse to justify poor or non-existent customer service: lengthy waiting times, delays, no responses and everything having to be done online or via e-mail.

Seeing as there are no covid restrictions as such anywhere in the UK now, there really is no justification for the "because covid" excuse...
I suppose a translation of that page is "We've saved some money by making you wait longer, and no, it doesn't make anything cheaper for you"

The fat on the news saying she can't afford to live.
Yep. On the BBC website the other day: on the news saying she can't afford to live. Person 1 – Single mum of 1 who is a teaching assistant. I am sure she loves kids and working with them but doing a low paid job for about half the year is not a luxury she can afford. Get a second job or find one that pays more.
Person 2 – Young bloke, trying to study for something and unemployed. Apparently can’t get a job after leaving retail. WTF, the country is desperate for workers – get a job and study in the evening.
I appreciate the cost of living is hard for some people with specific issues but these two are just lazy.

Same with "worker/skills shortages". Companies paying what people are worth are having no trouble finding and retaining talent. There isn't a worker shortage, there is a serf shortage.
