New - The things that really annoy you

I hope you get straight back in to work @Alan

Sometimes you've just got to do whatever it takes to make a living (within reason)

Sorry to read that Al. All the very best with the search, sounds like your previous employers were absolute tossers anyway.

Believe me when I say that that comparison is harsh on tossers

Another one crossing a few threads but a heads up on something we might all need to be aware of…

So a friend in the cycling club has just had his 4 bikes stolen from his home. The bikes themselves were locked, inside his garage which itself was also locked, which is attached to his house with a joining internal door to the kitchen.

One of the bikes is a new, expensive electric mountain bike which fortunately is going to be covered by the optional independent insurance which was offered at the point of purchase. The other 3 which were fully listed and recorded as per the requirements of the bicycle cover clause within the household insurance won’t be. The reason? - there is no evidence of forced entry.

As he started asking questions, talking to the police etc it was put to him he’s likely been broken into by someone using one of these:

So for the grand sum of £13.38 someone can break into your property in seconds without leaving any sign of forced entry and your insurance company can try it on and say they’re not paying out.

Absolutely sickening, the poor guy feels like he’s been robbed twice. As with any burglary there’s the sense of violation, the doubt as to whether these things are worth replacing in case it just tempts the scumbags back again, but the insurance company’s kick in the teeth is really a blow too far.

That’s a cruel move from them and I’m not even sure what we can do about it, but it’s worth knowing this is going on and maybe having a look at the small print or at least asking the question at time of renewal.

My BIL had his car stolen off the drive, insurance refusing to pay out as the car was modified. The mods happened before the car was bought (and insured) by BIL and he shared the invoices for the modifications (from a BMW Dealership) with the insurance when he insured it. They're scum.

“Your positions have been eliminated.”

Kin hell, sounds like a computer in a 80s movie.

Dirty wet wipe company.

People who claim to 'support' a club from miles away (but never been to a football match in their lives) that they have no links to but started following them when they were successful who love to take the piss out of those of us who do when the team we are fully invested in are struggling. Just fuck off!

You have no idea how superior I feel to every supporter whose fandom didn’t immediately condemn their club of choice to back-to-back relegations.

Not that I’m claiming responsibility for that here or anything…

My post didn't refer to you in the slightest

Apologies bud, I meant it with faux-arrogance as an OTT form of agreement. Not offended in the least; I’m very much on your side of the fence here.

LinkedIn, a definitely super serious platform for professionals:

Its become an absolute AI filled shit show. Its a shame, back in the early days it was a really useful platform.

Wolves fans thinking Taiwan flags are going to make Fosun flag down the next billionaire passing through Wolverhampton and sell to him on the spot
Similar levels of thinking to knobheads who put unopened packets of bacon in halal sections of supermarkets because it contaminates the whole halal section

At least the Pikachu w/sunglasses is iconic to me, but Pikachu’s got no business being on that platform.

I’m not certain it was even an “AI” post. That kind of pretentiousness seems to be the norm. Wretched place, whatever it used to be.

Helpful for job hunting though sadly. Got my last 2 jobs from there.
