Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Humph! There are three options.
1. Don't use computers.
2. Use a computer but don't learn the basics.
3. Use a computer and learn how to get the best from it.
Don't moan at me because you went for option 2. and then had to pay someone like me to come and deal with the mess you made because you didn't bother to learn how to use the machine.

yes and you will find that these same pool of people think that they can do nothing wrong and they are always right. i always found the middle class to be the worst moaners out there.

poor people.. just happy to have things fixed instead of having to buy something again at twice the price.

rich people.. understand the importance of the serf''' industry.

middle class.. fur coat nae knickers. worst payers out there including a certain ethnic minority. learnt very quickly to double my prices then give a discount after haggling and always CASH.

Ok, I don't publicly moan much but here goes.
Bloody cyclists (or at least half of them), they wear the brightest Lycra replica riding kits in the summer but the moment the dark winter days arrive they wear the darkest of clothes and the put dim token gesture lights on.
Also the amount of cycles I've seen on the road with no lights at all is frightening.

I agree with you, but an explanation of the different types.

As far as i know the lycra clad MAMILs i know spend loads of money on the brightest lights and hi viz gear. People are moaning that the lights are too bright

Another species the commuter is more likely to skimp on poor quality cheap lights and just wear their normal dark clothing, or not bother at all.

Theres another species, the child or teenager who's parents haven't botherd to equip them with any lights.

In my days of doing newspaper rounds at this time of the year, i had to put up with crappy everready lights, but i still had them, as there were still Policemen around who'd give you an almighty bollocking for no lights and speak to your parents.

That's whats missing these days isnt it?

That and public information films on the tv, 'cyclists, be seen, be safe'

queue in the post office!!

Young lads in very shiny Mercedes.

3 times today I've been cut up by these twits. Every time they changed lane without indicating or looking out for me and squashed my space. Horn. Revving exhaust. Main beam lights. I get the finger back.

Still awake, cant sleep.

British Telecom need I say more

[timwilky]

New company has transferred my mobile to their provider and I am to get a replacement sim.

3 weeks ago, I told the telecoms manager and his assistant that I am now home based again and to send me the sim at home. He told the provider. But no they have gone by the master list originally provided and sent it to the local office.

So now no phone and waiting for the local office to get it in the post. I only knew as they emailed one of my colleagues asking who Tim Wilkinson is, as they have received a sim for him.
