List of things more qualified and competent to run a bus company than the current management of First Cymru:
• Carl Spackler from Caddyshack
• Anyone who looked at an image of an eyeball tattoo and thought "I want one of those"
• That kid I was in school with who had his stomach pumped after eating AA batteries
• People who buy NFTs • A bucket of seriously, seriously, brain damaged weasels
• One of my bollocks wearing a specially made little top hat, monocle and false mustache
• Flat Earthers
• Evri drivers
• The visionary from Decca Records who passed on The Beatles and signed up Brian Poole & The Tremeloes on the same day
• David Icke
• People who believe that homeopathy is something that could somehow possibly work
• • Any one of a dozen characters played by Adam fucking Sandler • That bloke who complained about not being able to step foot on all planets in Starfield and used an image of a gas giant to illustrate his point
• Whoever it was who thought "Yeah, let's cast Iain Glenn as Bruce Wayne in Titans"
• Anyone who points at the company logo on someones' uniform shirt and asks "Do you work here?"
• ScreenRant article proof-readers
• Gerald Ratners' speech writer
• Name any GB News presenter
That cunt what just cancelled his Steamdeck purchase from our beautiful Cubby

Calendars that go SMTWTFS can fuck off because that's wrong! It's MTWTFSS. Saturday and Sunday are the fucking week end. End of. The week.

Fucking hate that. We've got a system at work with Sunday as the first day, which I always select when I want to book something for Monday.

i concede that the boys & girls flying A400Ms out of Brize benefit from the practice but low altitude laps of cheltenham every fucking night this week is getting a bit old
Try living next door to it. When everything was grounded in Covid I realised it was the first time I’d experienced actual silence in like 10 years. It’s weird *not* having the constant low rumble of a taxiing Hercules soundtracking your every waking moment.

hah! lived for ~six months on the static caravan site in carterton just when they were running a steady stream of (guess hercules, can't remember, big bastards) out to afghanistan 24/7 edit: confess suprise at how busy the place is though, I'd assumed that during peacetime it'd just be a flight or two per day, but yeah you Oxford folks have a constant touch-and-go-around soundtrack

I fucking hate dealing with my council. We live in a flat. Any time anything goes wrong with something leading into the flat, in this case the circuit/fuse box so the electricity can be switched off and a smart meter installed, goes wrong. I phone up and whoever is on the phone will insist till they're blue in the face as it only affects our flat they won't do anything. If it was the stairwell light they'd be on it in a flash. Then you have to email pointedly linking to all the documentation saying they're responsible for electrics outside of the flats, regardless of what it's connected to. Wait several days. Etc. etc. Then get the wife to phone as they listen to her for some reason.
Just ARGH. Fucking train your staff properly.

It’s partially a stance to let Elon known en-mass that it was a really stupid rebrand. The media equivalent of “I’m not fucking calling it that”

They probably have to say it that way, so when it turns out that all of X, formerly Twitter’s liabilities come out, we will see Musk was a genius for protecting his money and leaving gullible shareholders with the burden.

Dickheads who leave a shopping cart in the middle of an open parking spot, so you have to pull halfway in, get out of the car, move the cart, then go back in and fully park.
Those people are the worst.

Those people are the worst. Yes. People generally operate trolleys like fuckwits. Leave them blocking aisles while they go and compare every tin of tuna, pull them alongside taking up twice the width.

Hotel Chocolat - what a pile of overrated shite.
Won a fancy Christmas Wreath box worth about £45 quid in the work raffle (stupidly picked it over a bottle of vodka - sucked in by the fancy box). Never tried them before but I do love some fancy chocolate.
Chocolates are utter naff and leave an oily residue after eating them. Absolute pants.

Those tins of beans with the little sausages in that are poorly labeled. Don't just have a similar cover as baked beans but with 'and pork sausages' underneath, put the sausages in the forefront so it's clear what you're putting in your basket
If anyone wants some and is willing to collect, you can have them for free. Can't be arsed with posting or ebay. I don't really know what to do with them now

Jesus, just pick them out you picky fucker! Can't be more than 4 or so in those tins!
Or is this a bean juice touching your sausage thing?
Matron.

Meat is rank and from past experience you can totally still taste them. Beans are ruined. I've already opened them, which is the real issue, otherwise I could just stick them in a food bank
I think it's something that staff should be trained to highlight at checkout and ask you if you meant to pick up the sausage ones. Have a few normal tins of beans under the counter to quickly switch them. They should also do it with the frosted Shreddies

Could also be customers who pick up a can, second guess themselves and just place it back wherever.

They could have a picture of the sausages pop up on the screen and require you to confirm the purchase
