Short term memory loss.
I scheduled in Mo’s race yesterday at midday for 12:30. In that 30 minutes I managed to forget and then by the time I did remember Mo was doing the Mobot.

Yeah, this gets confusing because everyone has different ways of saying it. I end up clarifying with "the next Saturday we will encounter", which is just stupid.soapboxsam said:This must of been mentioned ?
NEXT Saturday ?
I say, this Saturday or Saturday Week.
Next Saturday is a total Misnomer, now STOP IT.0 -

Why the best teachers in schools get promoted to headteacher and promptly stop doing what they are good at, teaching, and turn into administrators.1

That Parking offences are deemed a civil matter and the police have told me previously that something I've raised is a civil matter and therefore out of their remit.
Yet there are often three or more police present and assisting bailiffs to collect fines / penalties from parking and other 'civil' offences.2 -
While I agree with every word Len - I guess the same can be said for football matches and demonstrations etc. They are civil matters, but also possible points of conflict, so the OB would argue that they are there to prevent a (possible) crime taking place?LenGlover said:That Parking offences are deemed a civil matter and the police have told me previously that something I've raised is a civil matter and therefore out of their remit.

Particularly curious when a ball hasn't been kicked internationally since the last update? Yes I do know how it works, but it might give the system a shred more credibility if they had a hiatus when no games are being played.Bryan_Kynsie said:When I read that Wales are the 9th best football team in the world and that there are people willing to believe it.

Why it costs a total of just £370 a year to insure my car and my house combined. Yet I pay £1300 a year to insure my dogs. Emotional blackmail?0

I'm not an expert on pet insurance so I'm guessing, but you are probably a lot more likely to.claim at some point on the pet policy, plus the operations are very expensive compared to car repairs or some new flooring after a leak etc.T.C.E said:Why it costs a total of just £370 a year to insure my car and my house combined.

Seems very steep though! Confuses me why vets are as expensive as they are, too.0 -
Go for a meal in a Chinese restaurant - get a load of prawn crackers.
Go for a meal in an Indian restaurant - get some poppadoms at the start.
But when I go for a Sunday roast and want to order a packet of Walkers salt and vinegar as a starter, I'm told nobody does that...5 -
They do spend roughly at least 6-7 years at Uni and incur massive debt plus demand far outweighs supply. Dentists as well for that matter.North Lower Neil said:

They also promote insurance (pet plan for one) and various other drug companies products, while failing to mention they are available online at a lot less cost. Is it safe to assume they don't do that for the love of the product? I have no problem with anyone earning a living, thats what we are all here for but how many people go into a vets and take their word as gospel I know to our cost I have. Baileys daily drugs are available from the vets at 55p a tablet or direct from the same manufacturer at 11p, it must have slipped the vets mind when his illness was diagnosed!! Don't get me wrong, I have a fantastic vet back in London and one down here I use for Jabs and emergencies but there are some bloody awful ones as well.Fiiish said:

But surely that is the same for most things. Cheaper to buy direct than via an intermediary0

Love this. Guess I am uneducated for not believing in something that cannot be proven, exists in the minds eye, and isn't tangible. Or is someone uneducated for believing in something that cannot be proven, exists in the minds eye, and isn't tangible?Powell Is Pleasant said:

When I swim 25 metres in the pool from shallow end to deep end it takes me exactly 21st strokes, doing front crawl.
When I swim back the other way it takes 22 or sometimes 23, same stroke.
Can somebody tell me why?

I'm not saying you're stupid or uneducated for any belief system you hold - the post I was quoting did however insinuate just that.0 -
