The toss face in front in a Merc CLK travelling at well under the speed limit in good weather and very light traffic last night who slammed on his brakes any time a vehicle came the other way or he passed a speed camera (despite being consistently well under the speed limit) and the toss face in a Passtit behind who was driving right up my exhaust pipe despite the fact that there was no realistic chance of either of us passing the Merc.
[Edit] I curse them both as they were really testing my New Year resolution not to waste time getting annoyed with morons.Comment

The one other guy in the B&B coming down for breakfast at exactly the same time as me, 8:00am
Why can't people show a bit of consideration and finish their breakfast and be out of the place by 7:00am (or stay in bed until 10am), so I can have breakfast in peace without having to make awkward conversation with strangers?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

the circle of hell that is company website/call centres - your web account gets locked out (due to them employing a security system no other website does) and the site says call this number except that every single fookin' option on that number takes you to a pre-recorded message telling you to use the website - can't get through to a human so can't access web account
why do companies make it so hard to use their services sometimes? All I want to do is pay them!! mad:sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)
