Completely sympathise, this is an ongoing issue we've had have with the house opposite for many, many years. Although its been less of a problem since the wife's blue badged car reversed into their thoughtless visitor... Nope, they are parking opposite their own drive (!) which just happens to be outside our house, and on a blind bend! It still impedes us getting out as it blocks the view of the road on exiting the drive, Any car parked in that location prevents us from seeing any oncoming vehicles!

Black Knight Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Me. My vac forming today I just don't seem to get it together today Usually its a doddle - a few tests and warm ups then a few good canopies. But not today. I've wasted a load of plastic, I'm getting hot from the vac former and my flat stinks of scorched plastic Off to try again 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them don't want to implement the UK/EU GDPR requirements so block access to UK or EU residents when they recognise an IP address as originating from one of those areas. If I remember correctly, some of the big American newspapers did this at the time of implementation of the legislation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Even before GDPR, the US was not the best place to send any personal data. For a country that seems so obsessed by an individual's rights (but some of those individuals seem less keen on the other side of the rights coins), they do not seem to have a problem with what happens with their information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 An age old, and I guess appropriate for many, grump. My work would be far more efficient, competent, cost effective and have far better morale if the boss sacked himself. Spending 8-10 hours a day wandering around pointing out problems, mostly self-inflicted, does not fix said problems. Moaning at blokes who have spent all day busting a gut does not lift spirits. Got that off my chest, thank you.🤬😀 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 The lunatics are running the asylum again! I remember a certain PM about 20 years ago ( you work it out ) saying that his government would do something to curb the excesses of political correctness. Well that didn’t work, it’s now worse than ever, and has probably led to some people becoming less tolerant as they are told what they can say or think. I also find it strange that some TV programmes contain language that would have been unacceptable 20 years ago, while others which reflect commonly held opinions from the same period are considered unsuitable to be shown or have to be preceded by warnings. Rant over. John 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that's undoubtedly true, there's also plenty of folk who deliberately set out to cause offence just because. That's not an attractive quality in a person, really. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Still, the warnings at the front of films are useful, if it doesnt contain at least 3 of violence, bad language, drugs and nudity then I know its not worth watching 2 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 The number of depots my parcel from Hannants has had to go through before arriving at the local depot for delivery! Collected from Lowestoft Taken to Norwich Taken to Cambridge Taken to Hatfield (South East Regional Parcelforce Hub) Taken to Milton Keynes Out for delivery Mind boggles at the number of miles travelled (just based on travelling from depot to depot) - 164 miles! Soon stacks up to a lot of mileage that our parcels are doing, especially when they do silly thing like taking them to regional hubs which are miles out of the way! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lasermonkey Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 What kind of *expletives deleted* would design an operating system that restarts your computer without giving you the option to stop it? That’s right, the twonks at Microsoft. Right in the middle of me having to type out an operating manual. Every time I have to use a PC, my stress levels go through the roof and I end up wanting to go on a killing spree. Funnily enough, that never happens when I use my Mac. I do not have the vocabulary to describe how much I despise PCs and Microsoft products. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To my mind it was a pretty average goal and not worth the fanfare however it improved when the goal, scorer ran behind the goals and celebrated by pulling off the jersey and swinging it around her head while having nowt on but shorts Sorry I cant post a link here as its family friendly site so I will watch it again a few times for the rest of you. Nice blond lassie too. Well fit. Just saying..... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
