Facebook business pages that use "z" instead of "s".  "Bedz for sale" "white goodz for sale" "uzed carz for sale". f**k off and spell things the right fucking way.

^^^ Couldn’t find the ‘Petty Thingz That Get On Your Nervz’ thread.

One type of listing that used to boil my piss back when the Yellow Pages were a thing were tradesmen who would try to out-"A" each other so they could be first in the phone book.
There was something intrinsically desperate about a say a chippy styling himself AAA Aaable Aaron that made me automatically go to another letter of the alphabet...just had a feeling they weren't getting much repeat business.

f**k. Off. Not even in jest.

Back to fighting fitness then, that's good. Maybe last nifgt's result upset you.

Serious note, although this maybe isn't the right thread, are you lined up for your jag yet? (You'll probably have to wait as you have Covid.)

Nah, despite appearances to the contrary,I haven't made sixty yet, so my latest estimate is the first week in April for the first, and the back end of June for the second.
Apparently prisons are not considered frontline, so we've had a situation where over eighty five percent of jails were classed as outbreak sites, with many struggling to provides the very basics to the residents. I was one of over thirty five percent of staff Simultaneously absent at our place - those who kept the ship afloat are now ending up sick through exhaustion and stress. At least it's an equal opportunity virus - cons, governors, officers, admin - everybody cops for it.
Last night? Pish, obviously, but hardly unexpected.

I would have thought you'd be in the clinically extremely vulnerable category, our daughter is 38 and has Downs and she got a letter saying she was CEV and she got her jag on Monday along with me, (I'm CEV, too), although we jumped the queue as there was vaccine left over, we hadn't actually got a date at that stage. I had estimated our "call up" for very late February/early March. We'll be getting our second dose in April.

I'm surprised prisons aren't front line, I suppose the line has to be drawn somewhere, but I didn't think it would be prisons.

When I flick through the SKY TV guide the titles alone make me wonder who the hell would watch the stuff that’s on.  Some channels seem to specialise in mind numbing drivel.

I'm always reminded of the scene where Alan Partridge is desperately pitching show ideas to the head of BBC1, or whoever it was.

"Monkey tennis... Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank..."

We laughed then but looking at the schedules now they were relatively sensible.

Finished Nightshift at 7 this morning, go to Falkirk Grahamston and they cancelled the train. Got told to head to Edinburgh, get there and the trains are cancelled. Get on a bus and it's broke down before it's even got to the Queensferry Crossing.

Petty thing getting on my nerves today is the fact that I don't fucking drive.

I remember when internet stuff filled with zeds instead of esses was the domain of illegal activity. Warez, appz, leet haxxorz, etc.

Presumably the cool kids are all directly communicating in binary by now.

I've got a fingerprint scan thing to unlock my phone, but when I turn the phone on it insists that I enter a code as an extra security measure.  I'd have thought that unless I sliced off and lost my index finger in the street, the scan would be significantly more secure than a 4 digit code.

Are you sure you don't just have two point verification enabled?

I asked my GP about this way back in March, and his response was basically, "well, if it was a points-based system, you'd be at the front of the queue for any treatment. Unfortunately, none of your (numerous) issues are individually serious enough for special treatment, so just be careful." He was pretty apologetic, but I've at least managed to carry on working throughout, up until last month anyway, so the old MH hasn't suffered over much.
Hope you and yours are doing ok - 'tis a long tunnel, and a dim light, but a light nonetheless.

Maybe it's because you're a screw and nobody likes you.

The gaming forum on here has a sticky so old it still has this.
