General things that Annoy you

They have their uses: when leaving a job, and boss, that you hate, ringing round for photocopier leasing quotes will keep your soon to be ex-boss nicely pestered for months because those buggers don't give up.

The name of Matt Johnson's wonderful band The The. They may have thought they were being clever when they started out in 1979, but they didn't anticipate the nightmare of correctly locating one of their tracks in the digital age.

The fear put into people by pharmaceutical companies that pumping chemicals into your animals on a annual basis will prevent them getting ill. 

When a simple blood (Titre) test will tell you the levels of immunity in your dog already and that it not necessary and simple things like Garlic (fleas) and Damascus Earth ((worms) will prevent the same nasties. 

Isn't this the equivalent of being an anti-vaxxer but for dogs?

I'm not anti, but over vaccination.
Bowyer had the last of his puppy jabs this morning and will be Titre tested in six months if the test is conclusive thats it
Valli was the same and her test results showed that her immunity levels were high enough, she would carry some of the levels from the parents and the jabs would top it up, boosters are proving to be ineffective as the levels never change a bit like ours we them done as children and thats it although I believe its not proven sceptics will tell you boosters have an adverse affect on immunity. Sadly as it stands money dictates and the vet I spoke to this morning doesn't give her dogs boosters but unless asked for advice she willingly administers a booster why would you do that?
I do know that some vets will ask for £160 for a simple blood (Titre) test knowing that £30 for a booster will tip some people towards the cheaper option.

That makes more sense. I suppose they should be doing the test and then supplying boosters as required. If only they were held to a code of ethics.

Biting your tongue when talking. Doesn't happen often but it really stings

Trying to get a GP appointment. 
Getting a GP appointment and it being cancelled an hour beforehand.
Telephone appointments instead of actually seeing your GP.

Was twatted off my motorcycle 4 weeks ago (again) cant say too much because of litigation. Sparked out, woke up as a witness called ambulance, the controller wanted to ‘assess’ me while I was lying in the road unable to move, asked the guy to put phone on speaker in front of me, I still had crash helmet on, I couldn’t remember my name, never mind anything else. They assessed me as a three, police turned up 15 mins later, saw the state of me and prioritised the call. 
In total I was lying in the road unable to move (they thought I’d fractured my back and pelvis) for 45 minutes. This is the state of our underfunded fucking NHS. And yes I’m fucking angry about it.

I hope you're okay and not seriously injured.

I had similar when I was hit by a car crossing the road a year ago, trying to talk to the ambulance controller whilst lying in the middle of the road with traffic filtering past me was not good. Ended up lying there for two hours with the police having arrived and closed the road. Even worse was I was right outside Darent Valley Hospital and someone went and spoke to A&E who wouldn't do a thing as I was not on hospital grounds! Luckily I had an off-duty paramedic helping me and nurses who had stopped on their way home. 

Still at least the extra £350m a week from Brexit will sort all this out :-)

Female dentist?

Actually yes. And rather lovely.
But that would've spoiled cafcdave's joke

Pathetic chavvy bullshit posting videos with porn sounds overlayed, what is it 2009?

Yep well and truly bitten, but it's pathetic and I don't expect it on here.

I thought about this after I'd posted. Perhaps they charge out your way so that foreign nationals don't get a freebie about of British licence payers.

The Alexa advert where the bad loser girl comes in having lost a game of football and strops up to her room without even speaking to her parents.

Mum is then awoken to a sound outside and asks Alexa what the time is. 4:40am is the reply. 4 fuckin’ 40am.

Mum looks outside and sees daughter kicking a ball against a wall in the garden. Remember it’s 4:40am.

So what does mum do next?

No, she doesn’t shout at her daughter to get inside immediately before she wakes the whole sodding street up. Nor does she go outside herself, clip her daughter round the ear and demand she go indoors.

Instead, mum asks Alexa to activate the outside floodlight just in case the whole street wasn’t already awake, so that her daughter can continue honing her skills.

Utter bollocks.

Gala Bingo ad on TV.  Makes out it's a big game of friends. No it ain't it's an insular game you play on your phone or tablet. When do you get to meet all of these people?

More utter bollocks.
