The data protection act.
In the last two days, despite ticking the 'do not contact me with marketing crap' box, I have received a marketing telephone call from a Building Society at an inconvenient time and a begging letter from a charity.
It all seems skewed to business and public sector abuse and obfuscation. My wishes are irrelevant as they can use, despite me requesting them not to, my details with impunity or sell them on to third parties to do similar yet when I want something or to help a family member out. 'Sorry can't help - data protection.'
Really p***es me off!

The sound of someone cleaning their teeth and Paddy McGuinness's voice. Both affect my nervous system in the same way ... although fortunately, I can turn McGuinness off.2

The woman in the Jaguar advert who is walking through the hotel lobby with a jaguar.
Receptionist attracts her attention and show her a list of restaurants that are popular choices.
'I don't do popular choices' she replies in a snooty way. What a stuck up bitch.

People who attempt DIY and don't use the same head screws throughout the job. One crosshead, one pan head, one countersunk, you know what I mean. Lazy bastards! FFS stop it.

Ah a kindred spirit ... Vanessa Feltz? Probably a good, intelligent broadcaster, but a voice so irritating, I just have to turn her off.Macronate said:

Food waste.
I love my grandsons dearly but they have a habit of asking me for a sandwich and then not eating it.
I'm thinking of cutting out the middle men and just throw them straight outside for the birds.1 -

Ours was doing that for about four hours due to a power cut the other day. In the middle of the night. Kept waking the kids up too.seth plum said:When the battery goes in your impossible to open smoke alarm in the middle of the night and the damned thing chirps loudly every 30 seconds or so.
