minor things that make you fume

Buskers and street "performers" these days are getting worse. Walking down Church Street last night and there were 2 people within about 50 yards of each other both playing the saxophone (poorly). Which was bad but got much worse as I walked towards Primark.

I walk further up and there was a man who was essentially in a tent with just his face poking out, with a headless baby doll strapped to his chin and white make up on, squeaking at people. And yes it is as mad as it sounds. How does he expect to make a living off that?

I yearn for the days I'd walk past the poor homeless bloke busking with a guitar hero guitar outside Schuh.

Once it gets warmer it`s the " whether to open the windows and by how much politics ".

What makes me laugh, is that normally the person who whinges about the window being open, is the person who has spent years plotting and moving desk one by one, to get the desk by the window !!!!

I recently had an opportunity to get the window seat and took it with both hands after someone got sacked. Best decision I ever made.

Thermostat politics in the office.

It’s hotter in here than it was during the heatwave.

Am guessing there's a woman somewhere wrapped in scarves and coats, who never moves, who's the prime mover behind this.

I haven't listened to the radio in months, strictly a spotify one, and I really don't miss it.

They don't bother me, they're the reason I don't listen to most music radio channels.

Would be nice to have a channel with just music though.

Loads of adverts in Youtube videos. Pure greedy gets slapping 4 adverts into a 10-minute video.

That's the reason why I recently downloaded an app called 'OG Youtube' which is essentially a cracked older version which you can a) play in the background on your phone (so you don't need the app open to listen to or watch vids), and b) watch videos without any adverts at all.

YouTube is getting worse and worse and it’s a shame.

They’re far too late to the party with the subscription service as Spotify and Apple Music have been around far longer, and you’re basically paying for what the service used to be.

I normally bale out at the first as and hope their analytics get the message. Will try your app though*. Not available on my tv though ffs

At Christmas my missus was given a 'gift' of one if those photo shoot / makeover things from a friend (who probably got it free). She's absolutely not the kind if person to do this kind if thing, and we both snigger at the vanities shown by people who have pictures of themselves plastered all over their house.

So today, for this 'gift' she's had to take half a day's leave to go their with her adult daughter. She'll probably have to pay forty quid in fuel going to the city where its done. For all of this effort and time she gets 1 photo free from the 'gift'. Any of the other 300 or so cost £75 notes EACH. A DVD of the pics costs a grand.

She really doesn't want to go. This is the definition of an obligation gift which is what Christmas has become. Her daughter, up to her eyes in mortgage, will want at least 1 picture, so that's a start of the avelanche.

She's a sucker to the hard sell and I'm terrified. Her friend knows full well that both I and especially her stepfather have decent cameras and are fully capable of doing the same thing for a pittance.

Fuming at this 'friend'.

I challenged a parent today for his torrent of foul language at an under 9 game. Personal abuse of 9 year old boys, calling them f’ing s..te.

His response was to offer me out there and then, all while holding the hand of a child I guess to be about 5.

Sad and depressing stuff indeed.
