    Twice today I had to give right of way to vehicles even though I was on a roundabout.

    First a huge lorry didn't even slow approaching the roundabout so I decided it had the size if not the right. It was a small roundabout but with four roads, so very visible.

    Next on a proper roundabout, a tow truck drived thought that as I was a few meters from his truck, he could enter the roundabout. I had the right indicator on so he knew I was going past his road.

    A few kilometers more than 5 from home but on an essential errand. Lucky to make it home in one piece.

    virgin media. I went on to their online chat to talk about an upgrade. The sales team responded immediately. I then got back on to talk to technical support. still waiting for a response 30 minutes later. an absolute shower.

    My driveway TA: Reversing into my driveway, and the cat decides this is the perfect time to appear from nowhere, sit down in the middle of the driveway, and lick his hole. Completely oblivious, or at least totally irregardless, to the massive vehicle approaching him.

    Not wanting to down-play your TA, Blitzkrieger, but maybe those driveway dodgers have similarly insolent, but hole-proud, cats?

    Exact same thing happened to me yesterday :D. I usually back in to the driveway but she was there so I decided to go in frontways in case she wouldn't move. Of course she didn't, just sat in front of the car blocking my way in.

    In the past I've actually got out and and put her inside the house before moving the car, have to admit yesterday I beeped the horn and she legged it out of the way

    Haha I absolutely love your post Obvious and agree with everything you've said.

    Another thing that annoys me about the Gilmore Girls is the ridiculous attitude towards alcohol. Lorelei rarely drinks but any time she does she makes a complete ass of herself and declares her undying love for Luke only to wake up full of regret with a wet towel draped across her beautifully unfurrowed brow.

    Give me a break! I'd love to see her wake up with a kebab stuck to her face screaming Rory!! RORY...bring me some water you overly privileged, pristine, no it all, no nothing jerk!!

    And their supposedly crap, sugar-and-fat-filled diets whilst having svelte figures and beautiful skin. Sure, Jan. Rory might have been just young enough when the show started to get away with that but Lorelai? Never!

    You’re having a fever dream though. Lorelai would NEVER criticise Rory. ;)

    I hate pretentious office speak, people promising to "reach out", "link in" etc. because they think only simpletons say that things like "I'll call him and ask". Now we have people "touching base" and "switching up" all over the place, as well as "integrating core objectives into daily operations" i.e. just doing what you're paid to do.

    Imagine my horror when I used the term "interfaced" just now, in a non-IT context. I need to sit and self loathe for a bit.

    Green jelly babies, for their awful taste, sheer abundance in the packet and for their powdered camouflage that makes them indistinguishable from the black ones.

    Have you ever eaten one when going for a green? Obviously, this isn’t much of a TA in daylight but at dusk it’s a real “concern”.

    Almost akin to the first time you purchase the blue Walkers packet, assuming it’s salt and vinegar, and biting into a crisp only to be hit that that unmistakable socky flavour of cheese and onion.

    This reminds me of an argument I had with a lecturer of mine years ago. I was doing a contact centre operations course, and the woman just would not accept that it's perfectly normal to say "no problem" (in IRELAND AT LEAST) when a customer says thanks, because she deemed it as a "double negative" simply because I used the words "No" and "Problem" together. She wouldn't take simple Irish (or fúck it - HUMAN) etiquette into the equation. She wanted me to be robotic about the whole thing. I disagreed with her and she didn't like it. I ended up getting a distinction in the entire course after the year was up.

    God I'm getting annoyed about it all over again.

    If you see her again tell her that a double negative makes a positive! :D

    Can't blame the game or the internet anymore.

    Games are meant to be relaxing, but I'm amped up now. It's like PTSD.
