It never ceases to amaze me how vomit inducing we can go with this shit. It's gradually been seeping in over a number of years, coffee shops where you can't go in and ask for a white coffee, it's a flat white, adverts for kitchens where you get your own 'project manager', and now your place of work needs to be a campus where you collaborate and foster a culture of 'intrapreneurship'
Unfortunately for me, the world seems to be going one way, and I'm very firmly going the other, in that it all just seems to wind me up, and it's everywhere. You can't hide from it or take a breather

Job titles,
Craftsmen that are not craftsman
Technicians that are not technicians
Engineers that are not engineers
Associates that are not associates
Partners that are not partners
Professionals that are not professionals.
When I left school you had to work towards and get qualifications to get called any of the above.

Second hand / used newspapers.
I normally take my newspaper from deep within the pile as I like it to be in pristine condition. Yesterday I took the the top copy and later realised to my horror that it had been read. Slightly crumpled, with pages that didn’t quite line up, I was relieved to find the crossword free from the vendor’s attention - hope he wasn’t taking a dump while he read it.
Sadly I couldn’t even get the butler to iron it for me as I’d given him the orf.

Darren Campbell.
Apparently Mo Farah has nothing to prove about not holding WRs as he is a great of the track. Usain Bolt, however, is a legend because he wins medals and makes new World marks. Because doing both is what marks out the greats.
And he knows everything about athletics because he won a gold once. Or was it twice? Such a smug prick.
A prime example of a fine sportsperson floundering when they try analysis and opinion.0 -

When there's clearly an established queue at a buffet table and someone decides to start from the other end of the table. Others then follow the impatient middle aged woman causing carnage as the two lines then pass each other with people reaching in for their quarter of scotch egg, dry chicken satay or quiche the thickness of a house brick.
And then she has the nerve to look at everyone as if they're in the wrong. Stupid cow.13 -

Those bloody boring propaganda monologues that the BBC feel they have to squeeze into every sporting event. Tonight we had the displeasure of Michael Johnson overtalking a load of old footage, taking hundreds of words to say what could be said in a couple of sentences. Meaningless repetitive drivel. Sort it out, BBC.5

Said the same thing to my son following that drivel.

I hate the tone of the fawning, grovelling, cringing, sycophantic commentary, its just so embarrassing. I'm sure the targeted sportsmen would find it so too.3 -

The fact my car is being held hostage by a Garage down in Cornwall... Car broke down on Friday (just lost power and stopped so called the RAC with the Diagnostic saying it was an issue with the Crankshaft Sensor).
They've called a few Garages to see who can fix it, this one says that with us being tourists and only down for a few more days (head home tomorrow) they'd prioritise it the moment we got it there.
Got towed to the Garage on Friday at 1pm where I was spoken to like shit because the RAC left the car on the side of the road, on Monday morning Im still waiting for it to even be started on and when we rang for an update today we got the answer: "Well we cant promise it'll be done today".
Why the fuck did you agree to take the job in the first place then when other Garages could be contacted!!!
Does anyone know if RAC save call recordings between their Drivers and the Garages they call as will be putting in a serious complaint to the Garage (the RAC were brilliant) when I get home, doubt it'll achieve anything but will make me feel better!!!0
