My favourite is 'you'd be perfect for this job' 

*applies for job*

'oh sorry we went with someone else, you weren't even shortlisted' 

I had a brilliant one similar to this.

Applied to a local company for a senior level role. Interview invite comes through as a lead. Rejected after the first round because I didn't have enough experience as a lead. That's why I didn't apply as one!

Item in the news re a Scottish woman planning to play the bagpipes for 80 days leading up to the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

I thought we fought the war to end atrocities and crimes against humanity.

Criminal damage caused to a perfectly legally parked vehicle, presumably by the fucking landed gentry uptight nimbys in the row of houses on a nearby private* road 

*Private in the sense that nobody is allowed down it for any length of time without getting harassed but they'll be on the phone to the council as soon as there's a maintenance issue to be paid for by everyone else

CUNTS

It's not even my vehicle but it made me so angry just walking past it 😂

You need to do what that village did with the yellow cars a few years back and organise a classic car meet on their road. I’d happily attend. Do inform the local media too.

Put their windows in and stick a note through the door. "Move house. Next time it'll be more than just your windows". 😄

I was thinking along the lines of a welcoming party in back of the van ready to greet* the bumpkin toff type things...

TV and radio "news" full of it being 40 years since Knobenders started.  I didn't watch the fucker 40 years ago and I have zero interest now, and it isn't news.

SEAT seems to be finding the weakest point in its cooling system and shitting itself in turn. 

In November the heater matrix went owing to the VAG silica bag of doom, taking the heat exchanger and thermostat housing with it. 
Three weeks off work. 

Next, the radiator cracked, dumped coolant all over the ground at work, work threatened to sack me as I was making up* problems with the car, told them to fuck off in 8K and resigned on the spot.  Their monthly pay, from five days a week of work, barely covered half of the damage.

£1300 later with a new rad, a hose (or something else) gives out and dumps coolant all over the new job's drive, meaning we got behind and had customers screaming on the phone.
Three lads (including me) were out, and one had to come and rescue me. 

Finally got it recovered back to my unit on Sunday and it was collected by the garage today at 7.30 this fucking morning.

To add insult to injury, the front number plate dropped off over the weekend, the plate which the 5-0 whinge about but mysteriously passes every MoT and is easily read by ANPR. 
This car is beginning to piss me off. I need it for writing and delivery work. 

I realise the parcel drops asked too much from it but it's been throwing strops since November now and my wallet cannot take any more. I can't even afford a new fucking number plate.

'We are annoyed your van is parked here, so we're going to make moving it ten times harder by slashing one of the tyres.' 

Fucking chav logic, that.

Precisely my thoughts, they've done both the offside tyres!

Hopefully CCTV round about so it can be passed as criminal damage. That said the Police won’t give a stuff, but if you went round and gave them a pasting they’d be quick to jump on you.

Bastard.

Last time this happened to us (some fruitloop made an offer to buy our vacant house and spend 6 months pissing us about and it turned out that they were unemployed and were expecting to get a mortgage with their JSA) we ended up selling it within a week, for £8k more than previously!

Is this what the uk has now become? EVERY single bottle of spirits in my local Tesco now comes in a security cage. IMG_1228.thumb.jpeg.563c962c8ecee4ba9e491755c164edb4.jpeg

You think that's bad? Small Sainsbury round here even has security  tags on red wine - non alcoholic variety!

A friend of mine works late shifts in a supermarket and she tells me that it's an event if an evening goes by without the police being called or one of the staff being assaulted, or both - she herself recently got sprayed in the face with cleaning fluid.  Large supermarkets in cities often seem to attract the absolute dregs of society.

Years ago a mate lived in Bristol, near South meads(?), his local offy had screens over EVERYTHING, and a bank teller style hatch at the far end of the shop. 

You had to tell the server what you wanted, pay for it, and they'd put it in the little slidey compartment 🙄

On other news, youngest had another appointment at addenbrookes hospital today, parked as usual, didn't realise her disabled badge has expired.

So that's cost me £30. Reduced from £60 because I paid it immediately.

My own fault, should have checked, but annoying all the same

Dyson, tell your designer just a box mounted on the wall at chest height that blows hot air downwards for 30seconds works absolutely fine👌

Friends of mine went to a wedding near Toxteth thirty five years ago and the whole shop was walled of behind perspex walls. You pointed, they got your order together, you pushed your money through a small slot, and they pushed the goods out through a bigger one.

Pretty much the whole alcoholic drinks section aside from the absolute cheapest of lager etc in our local Morrisons is now locked behind doors on the shelves - you have to ask a member of staff to come and open it to get anything out.

No shops that I am aware of like that around here, even the 'corner shops'.

One of mgrandsons works in a Tesco in Newcastle and they do get stuff stolen, or attempts to steal stuff at least but nothing is walled off like that.

This might be a Morrisons thing as my local one's started doing this too.

Iceland in Wisbech has all the spirits in a locked box, but apparently beer isn't a risk

The supplying dealer where I got my Qashqai from closed a year or two ago (Evans Halshaw lost the Nissan franchise). I'm not sure what went on for dividing up customers/customer contacts, but I'm not sure why I, having a Nottingham address and having bought a car from a Mansfield dealer, am now getting marketing texts from a Lincoln dealer.

Don't forget the "live" edition going out on Thursday(?). All the media are wetting themselves over this "live" event and how amazing, difficult etc it's going to be. Have they never been to the theatre and seen an hour and a half  live play/musical/drama?

It's had the same story lines from the beginning ,same in all soaps just different location.

Bad boy/girl arrives broke /homeless, within a week great job, nice home fit partner,
