To this day I don't really know what the left or the right are. Until a few years ago I thought that 'Tories' was the nickname for Labour. I just have no interest in learning when every discussion, article and conversation seems to be full of one-upsmanship and belittling of the opposite side.

I'll just be a Jedi. Or, 'Jedi, I'll just be', as my new Jedi pals would prefer I say.

It's easy really.

Us lefties are the good, caring, angelic ones whilst the right are the evil, selfish baddies. ;)

When a company gives you a 'time window' for arrival (be it delivery, repair, quote etc), what they should actually say is this: 

Dear Mr Wazza

we will arrive between 12-5pm

what this means is, if you wait in all day, we will arrive at 4:59pm

if you dare leave your house for even ONE GODDAMN MINUTE during this time, then we will arrive then.  

Thank you for your custom. 

My wife was getting a car delivered (delivered? do you get a car delivered?) once between 10am-1pm, when she was at work and I was off.

I woke up at 9 and was half way through a shower when the door bell rang. I wrapped a towel round myself and answered the door and the bloke was annoyed at me for having to wait. I told him he was early.

I then had to 'inspect' the car and to sign to say it was delivered (delivered?) in good condition, check the mileage, etc. All in my little towel.

Went to KFC last night for first time in ages. I figured their well publicised supply problems would be long gone now. I thought wrong, only had about 20% of the menu available.

Yep same happened to me on Tuesday. Someone within KFC has probably cost them literally millions of pounds. 

This is one of the problems with the constant drive to cut costs year after year. Eventually some chancer will spin them a yarn about new tech (which was the case here) and they will take a short term view to save a few quid under enormous pressure from above to do so and it goes wrong and costs tons more than they ever would have saved.

No you lefties are layabouts who want to piss away everyone's hard earned wedge whilst the right want to spread prosperity around all the hard working people :P

They moved away from a specialist food distribution company who they dealt with for years to a jack of all trades one. Like you say, initially they thought they could cut costs and save money but will ultimately cost them far more now.

Yes as each car will have a delivery charge as part of the cost (even if its not delivered)

How politically divided and obvious everyone is. 

Can't do anything online now without seeing "far left", "far right". 

I guarantee that without the anonymity of the internet, no one would know, or give a **** about anyone else politically beliefs. 

It's so tedious and boring. 

Facebook, twitter.. covered in it.  

There is your problem right there! Ignore shit that berks post online (apart from me of course :P)

The court, Mr Whack, has heard more convincing defences.

Nope. 

Lefties - hate righties

Righties - hate everybody 

To paraphrase a tweet I saw a while back (I can't remember who tweeted it, or when, so can't link or give credit):

Me: I'm not going to talk to my right wing mate, about politics tonight. People rarely change their mindset anyway.

Me after 6 beers: Why do you hate poor people so much, Alan, you Tory bar steward?

See what you’ve started @Rob182?

..and this is why I don’t get involved, nor have any desire to learn. I’m sure some people will say that not reading up is stupid because my 1 vote will count, but then the same people may well be the ones that say that going veggie/vegan will make no difference to the amount of animals that die!

It's entirely up to you what you find interesting or not. The only thing I would say, is that just because you aren't interested in politics, doesn't mean politics isn't interested in you.

The car insurance rigmarole. Renewal comes through.. gone up by £200. Go to a few comparison sites, get an idea of the best quote. Ring up original company and they match it on the spot.
