And people have been tearing into her in the comments. Why does this piss me off so much? Literally felt the rage rising in me.

On 31/08/2019 at 02:51, A'Villan said: That's **** disgraceful and shameful. And then people wonder why and assume the belief the world is unfair and unkind. It starts with you. Superficial morons.

Dr_Pangloss Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Ebay's payments system is a farce, presumably it's rigged. Second time this year I've tried to buy something worth ~£500 this year only for the system to consistently 'error out' when paying via credit card. They must be scared of chargebacks.

bickster Posted September 5, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2019 I'm reading a lease agreement for a new office. Every pronoun is capitalised and commas appear to replace and and or It's really not easy reading. Is that the start of a new sentence? Did they miss something out?

Far too large a part of my working life is spent reading through leases. Absolutely horrible things. Worst is when you get 100 pages of uneccessary circular references pointing you to different sections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted September 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2019 Watching 'Celebrity' MasterChef. 5 'celebrities' in the heat. I recognise 2, and of those I could name 1. Even when they named them I'd no idea who they were. And I'm not someone who prides themselves on being ignorant of mass culture or the like. I'm as open to watching most shit as anyone. But these people aren't celebrities. As an idea of the standard of fame we're talking about here, the one I knew the name of? Neil Ruddock.

But he stands out in the crowd as someone legitimately famous, if Z list. The others in the heat were a Strictly dancer, a Paralympian, a fashion designer, none of which I'd heard of or ever seen before, and Joey Essex, who I have heard of and recognised the face but wouldn't have known to put the two together. You can hear the barrel being scraped over the sizzling of the pans. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then for some reason they continue to call years 12 and 13 the 'sixth form'. It must baffle the kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but year 1 is second year infants because year one is reception so there is no logical standardisation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like football, where the third division is called League One. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
