Re: Little things that irritate you
An artificially-engineered 'substitution' so that a player that's leaving the club gets a 'guard of honour'.
And even worse when it's all his idea.
Yes, John Terry, I'm looking at you!

I haven't seen it yet, but it sounded absolutely cringeworthy. Even the pundits on BT sport this afternoon said how sickly it all looked!WHU_Del wrote:An artificially-engineered 'substitution' so that a player that's leaving the club gets a 'guard of honour'.

The amount of coverage Pippa Middleton's wedding is getting.

The referee denying Middlesboro a stonewall penalty because he wanted to get out of Liverpool alive.
You know if it had been at the other end he'd have had the red card out before he'd blown for the foul.

Blatant dive by Bamford. I thought it was a foul from the far camera angle but replay showed very little contact on arm/shoulder1875Hammer wrote:The referee denying Middlesboro a stonewall penalty because he wanted to get out of Liverpool alive.

Traffic wardens. Just f*** off. How bad must your life be that you make the decision to become one of these cutns?

Re: Little things that irritate you
I agree. My main beef is with the jumped up little shits who put a uniform on and think it gives them the right to act in a sneeky, underhanded way and the freedom to talk to people like dirt, with an attitude of complete contempt when they get called out for it.White Goodman wrote:Yeh but can you imagine the liberties some ***** would take if there weren't any??

Potentially losing my job just before my wife goes on maternity leave. But at least I can draw some comfort from the fact that the bloke making that decision is buying a new car.

Maybe time to go contracting? That's where the big bucks are in IT!

The vermin are everywhere and offering no discernable service. That sort of stuff just makes the public hate them.

Cheers boss - will be straight over when I find out more. Wouldn't mind so much if people were at least being a bit more open/honest here, but that's what I get for working for a US firmSmonnie wrote:If you need some help finding something else, let me know.

Re: Little things that irritate you
To balance things out a little. I used to live in a so called quiet residential street. White lines painted right up to the edge of my dropped kerb - but people in cars that couldn't park properly, people with big vans too long for the spaces frequently went over the line making it a proper ball ache to reverse in or out, and on more than one occasion, unable to get out at all. I wasn't the only one that had issues like this, some of my neighbours did too.Dover KUMB fan wrote: Lost count of how many run in's I've had with these a-holes.

The council's parking wardens started patrolling the area, gave out a few tickets and it soon stopped.
From my work point of view where we have routes that have midi-buses (short single door single deckers), it's sometimes impossible to get one down some residential street because of poor and illegal parking- same applies to some of the bigger residential streets when full sized doubles have to go down them. It would be carnage if there were no wardens.
I know there are some dick-head parking wardens out there that are a bit too over enthusiastic - but like my views on speed cameras - if you don't give a reason to get a ticket - you won't get one, nor find yourself in the position of having to try and communicate with them. It's all very well pacing the blame on the warden/speed camera if you get hit - but if you hadn't parked where you shouldn't or sped, you wouldn't have got one - and for that, there is nobody else to blame but yourself - not the person or the machine issuing it.

Re: Little things that irritate you
It wasn’t me who got the ticket, it was my missus’ boy for having less that a quarter of his motor over a yellow line which was not causing any obstruction whatsoever. The traffic warden had clocked his number plate from down the street, wrote the ticket out and promptly marched up and slapped it straight on the car. All he had to do was walk up and say “move it” a bit further forward, and it would have been moved. He chose to be a sneaky ****hole instead, then get quite aggressive when my missus’ boy protested that he was just leaving (which he was). He also threatened us all with the police for intimidation (none of us had said anything to the bloke at this point) if we didn’t move away (we were standing outside my missus’ salon). When he said that, I actually felt sorry for the bloke as myy missus tore into him for telling her she couldn’t stand outside her own shop. He was a dick and deserved everything she called him (and more). Any sympathy rapidly vanished when he got on his radio and said he was being “verbally assaulted” by a member of the public and got his camera out and attempted to photograph us.-DL- wrote:I know there are some dick-head parking wardens out there that are a bit too over enthusiastic - but like my views on speed cameras - if you don't give a reason to get a ticket - you won't get one, nor find yourself in the position of having to try and communicate with them.

Re: Little things that irritate you
IMHO, it's a terrible time to go contracting - the tax environment is becoming so hostile to contractors that it's going to be very difficult to make more money than being a permie, with none of the advantages of being a permie. Expect to see HMRC go apeshit with IR35 next year, after mandating it in the public sector this year.Smonnie wrote:Maybe time to go contracting? That's where the big bucks are in IT!
