My theory is that people are getting generally less polite (bullying on social media, drivers not thanking you for letting them go etc) and to mask it a lot of people “practice gratitude” by offering shallow false overpoliteness
There's so many dopey twats by me who sit at Junctions like they are asleep I no longer let people out as can't be arsed with them.
I’ve had two near misses in two days on the same mini roundabout, in neither case did the other driver even hold up a hand of apology after making me slam on
It's really driving me mad recently how every game we play a commentator has to say something about Joe Gomez never having scored a goal. Like give it a rest! He's not the only player to play for a club to never score a goal! On the stream I watched today yer man said that Gomez had "famously never scored". FFS!
Flavour of the month. If we are twatting someone and get a pen, we need to give it to Joe. Its pretty bad though when even our keeper has scored a winner In fact all 3 senior keepers have either scored in open play or in a penalty shootout
If he scores an own goal does that count?
Buying clothes in Matalan for my 7 year old girl and seeing t-shirts designed to be short with tiny shorts.makes me think capitalism is a right nonce. Weird.
I'm so glad we had boys.
Is that so you could buy them short tee shirts and tiny shorts?
I'd be like Alice Cooper, any boy turning up at my house to see my daughter would be greeted with a shotgun
Seems to be harder and harder to mow the lawn because of the rain lately. I keep building myself up to it, then it rains.
Fuck it off mate till it eventually dries, no point stressing over something you've no control over.We're seriously considering asking the farmer if we can borrow a couple of sheep for a few days 😂
Mow and fertilise at the same time, I like your thinking
My dads nursing home in Cork sending his clothes on a 300 mile round trip to Dublin to get washed.
I had a hospital appointment for ENT this morning, I've been waiting since last November for it. When I got to the Outpatients check in I was told that the clinic was already full even though I was 20 minutes early. They gave me another appointment for June. So now I've to wait another two and a half months for an appointment and then god knows how much longer to get a hearing aid. FFS!!
What? When are you supposed to turn up for your appointment, a day early? How do they know the same thing won't happen again in June?

Got a new laptop for work today. It's a touchscreen job, but the screen doesn't detach. Stupid.
I’ve hopefully got an internal interview coming up. Had one a year or so ago and made loads of interview prep notes…must have saved it down to the desktop because I didn’t want to save to any shared drive and have changed laptops since then. So will have to start from scratch.On another note - formulaic, competency based interviews.
Had one last week. Prepped answers that I thought they'd ask. Such as company info and their morals. Then proceeded to get asked some completely irrelevant ones about "describe a time" nonsense.
Annoying. Mine is internal so at least I know what to expects you just have to spend a while thinking it through so that you know what to say.Roles a grade up don’t come up that often where I work. And when they do, a lot of people go for them. This one is in the smallish team I’ve worked in for a few years now. I know that in theory I’m best placed for it. I’ve done the work before, worked in this area, know it well etc. But if I give one answer where I don’t give a clear example of what they ask for, score badly on it and then they just go off scores I could miss out on it.There’s no room for just a general chat or questions about what I could bring to the role etc, just a very formulaic structure.
