    genuinely not knowing which thread to post my anti regime thoughts on today. So much hatred toward their incompetence and so many threads I could write on

    The labour MP doing the 'dab' in parliament.
  • The woman on a TV ad who feels much better - having confided in her sister - about her incontinence problem.

    She makes no reference to how she feels about having shared it with the entire nation. Personally, I wished she’d have kept it to herself.

    ......."and there goes my sensitive bladder"

    Let's face it.....you've just pissed yourself you filthy bitch.

    I didn't go on about my sensitive bum'ole that time I was caught out on the way home after a "dodgy pint".

    Then the next ad comes on with the women grinding the hard skin off the bottoms of her plates and then tips the fuckin shavings in to the bin

    "Flintoff, Savage and the ping pong guy."

    Painfully artificial laddish banter for the simple.

    Were they after the Mrs? ;)
  • Sutton united making the fifth round of the FA Cup, playing out their skin and the side show is a fat goalie eating a pie.

    All seemed a bit staged and cringe worthy
    'Banter' staged by The Sun has to feature highly. And anything put out to be deliberately viral on social media.
    I do get a strange satisfaction when I see a post on Facebook captioned "Let's make this go viral!!" and it clearly hasn't been shared many times.

    BT.
    Our phone line and broadband went down on Friday afternoon. It's definitely external to our property as no signal is being received and we had no problems for the last year. All our hardware are BT products.

    Gripe 1. Arranging an appointment for an engineer. Booked appointment 1 for Monday morning. This was cancelled and they left a message on my mobile. They asked us to text to arrange a convenient time to talk. Unfortunately the number they gave us to contact does not accept text messages. Tried calling but it was an automated message stating customer services would be in touch. They didn't get back to us.
    Booked appointment 2, for this morning, through website. Wife received a text message yesterday stating that someone would phone within 5 minutes. No one called. Wife waited in all morning today. No engineer arrived. I called customer services to arrange a third engineer appointment. All seemed to go well and I will be waiting tomorrow for them to arrive. Received an automated email confirming the appointment. The only issue is that the house address stated in email was an old address we moved out of 18 months ago! Not hopeful.

    Gripe 2. If it turns out the fault is within the boundary of our property then we will be charged £125 for the engineer visit. Despite the fact all our products and installation were provided by BT!

    Did you do the internal checks on the house wiring before calling them. We've just had the same problem with BT, by the way its £129. :(
    Yep followed the process. Our electrics were completely rewired just prior to getting BT installed over a year ago. Absolutely no issues in that time and nothing has been changed. We only have one line in, it's a simple set up in the house. I thing they disconnected us by accident. Guess we will find out tomorrow.
    Had a similar-ish thing a little while ago. Turned out my father in law had accidentally cut the wire outside the house when he was helping out with some gardening. No idea how.

    People who don't understand that at an assessment centre for a graduate scheme you are not directly competing. Why not spend 6 and a half hours making yourself look good rather than trying to make everyone else look bad and ruining the group exercise.

    Fucking arsehole.

    Turns out it was a problem at the local junction box (?) Which I would have thought should have been picked up in their online check. At least it's sorted now.

    Which brings me onto another annoying issue connected with this.

    Nice friendly customer service operators/ engineers etc (any representative of a large organisation).

    So I am pissed off, shoddy service / website, and I want to have a rage and moan, but everyone I speak to is so bloody nice and friendly. I'm not going to take my anger out on them as they are just doing a job.

    Whenever a member of the public on a political debate says 'politicians are completely out of touch with reality'

    That may well be true but if ever there was an overused term.

    If, IF anyone gets internal telephony or connectivity issues look up 'data dan' on Facebook. A very good friend of mine and as opposed to handing Openreach some money to fix something inside your house that I could talk you through over the phone, Dan will take care of you for a very sensible price too.

    Need a router or hub shifted, speak to Dan. Need a CCTV system installed that you can view on your smartphone. Chat to Dan

    Just watched Dele Alli tackle that got him sent off.

    Really bad one but why do players look so surprised when they get a red.

  • The twat yesterday who because Welling high street was closed off due to an accident decided to drive up the one way street the wrong way.

    I havent had a proper catch up with my best mate in months. We organised a bit of a lads afternoon for tomorrow, some food and a few beers up town. I was over the fucking moon when he text me about it.

    But no. Some vile peice of shit decided to spit all over him because he was in his uniform, as a Police Officer, doing his best to make his city a safer place. That vile scumbag was also doing it knowing full well he was HIV positive.

    He's one of the most genuine guys I know, with a great brain in his head and I've never witnessed him be anything other than a friendly and compassionate guy in the 13 years I've known him. I've never witnessed him being confrontational and know full well his decision to go in the police was one from his heart, not his ego.

    He now has 28 days of anti-virals and HIV exposure treatment.

    Thats fine though, as according to Diane Abbott spit hoods aren't needed by the police and they're inhumane. I'm sure she regularly gets spat at in the Parliamentary bar, and I trust she's well aware of how common and dangerous it is.

    (Oh, and before anybody - quite correctly - points out that HIV transmission rates via saliva are incredibly low, and to all intents and purposes impossible, other diseases are not quite so difficult to get.)

    Unfortunately, these are they type of scumbags we've got living amongst us now. Abbot's more worried about being called nasty names on twitter than actually doing something to help the keepers of the law in this country (not that what was said to her was in any way acceptable)
