Today I'm angry about.....

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

To make it even more idiotic they cost 10 x more than a traditional till, not to mention the management software. I won't have them anywhere near my wee supermarket.

I dislike them as well, give me humans, even sullen ones over these things any day.

You get banter here

Pipes burst in our house. Waste pipes from En-suite Shower, main bathroom shower and bath. All gone. House is soaking feck* wet 3 days before Christmas. House is only 8 years old. This after we found the main bathrooms' toilet was fitted without rubber washers earlier this year and piss/sh*t water had eroded some flooring and put a hole in the kitchen ceiling (cost us a grand in repairs)

4 fences lost in 48hrs after being replaced time and time again, as they have those shitty wooden fence panels batted down about an inch into the ground.

Phoned Bloor Homes to be told "your house isn't in warranty" - Told them we have a 10 year building warranty. Apparently that's just for feckin bricks!!!!

Criminal mate. Hope you get some semblance of order bud, before Chrimbo...gutted for you.

[TANGODANCER]

Commiserations B.B. There's no good time for that to happen. A few years back our septic tank in the loft burst and flooded us out. Luckily I knew a good plumber but had to dive at my wife to stop her switching the light on whilst standing in two inches of water. We did get the compen eventually. I've no good words to offer mate..

Genuinely sorry to hear that Boris.
Cheap tradesmen driven by time constraints are the problem in a lot of areas now and the bloody building companies don't give a stuff.

I would think it might be worth consulting a lawyer. Limiting a ten-year warranty to just bricks sound very odd. "Oh, the bricks were fine, ti was just the mortar which disinter=grated when your hous collapsed". What has Prufrock to say?

What they mean is new build warranties cover the structure of the house. So if the house itself starts falling down or the roof fails then you are covered. But they don’t cover an internal leak, even though clearly when you buy a new house you don’t expect such shoddy workmanship to create such a scenario.

But sadly the new build guarantee won’t cover for this sort of damage even though it’s their own fault.

House insurance likely covers it but of course….then they put your premiums up!

Had a nearly new build a long time ago, three years old and similar issues. Leaking bath, shower and radiators that we discovered a bit too late after a lot of damage. A nightmare but again, had to pay for the fix ourselves….which on further inspection turned into a new bathroom such was the poor work in the initial build, most things had to be ripped out.

He’s always been completely odious but I see Joey Barton is trying very hard to solidify his abhorrent reputation. What an absolute tit.

Again, here you could have gone after the previous owner if it was a hidden defect. That is, they knew about the problem but didn't disclose the information. For example, a basement that leaks in the Spring when the snow melts but looks fine when you purchased in July. I guess laws are different in the UK.

Anger is such a wasted emotion but bloody hell have any of you been following the case of the subpostmasters v the Post Office and their horizon software?

I'd urge anyone to give themselves 10 minutes and read this

https://t.co/7efd2oBl5O?amp=1

Absolutely outrageous and a nightmare of Kafka esque proportions to be embroiled in.

3 years ago I posted this and I'm still outraged. Hopefully the excellent ITV mini series Mr Bates v The Post Office has brought this miscarriage of justice, further into the public spotlight. Still waiting for proper justice and compensation.

So odious I’m finding myself taking Gary Neville’s side in things which is quite unnerving in itself. Talk about attention seeking.

On the plus side, he’s making himself completely unemployable within the game. Or so you’d hope. He’s always been an odious prick, but the c*** really is outdoing himself! The really scary thing is the number of blokes on X hanging on his every word!

Yeah. Scary but not surprising. It seems that it’s in fashion for modern football fans to try and regress back to troglodyte form.

It’s weird how things change. For a long old while that was certainly not seen as attractive. Yet now it’s all the rage. How ‘low’ can you go is a thing again.

I blame social media.

He knows his time in the game is up. That's why he's doing this. He's deliberately becoming a poster boy for weirdo internet incels and Tory bootlickers who have been brainwashed into hating absolutely everything and everyone.

He's ticking all the boxes
- Anti-Vaxxer
- Misogynist
- Climate change denier

Goes on about being a man of the people then proclaims he "owns a bank" and "owns an energy company" - 2 things that completely remove him from a "man of the people" yet thousands lap it up, tongue punch his dirt box and w*nk themselves into a frenzy at his weirdness.

It's completely bonkers, but it's also completely pre-thought out

It’s ironic how so called ‘men of the people’ are always anything but…

People who jump red lights!

Really wish I was still driving a truck so they'd smash into the side, feckin morons.

Nature of the beast Hobes. The desire to buck the trend and go against the grain is the reason humans do these things. The excitement of indiscretion is a powerful desire and ignoring rules or advice seems tame by comparison. Temptation lurks within us all. The words of an old Nat King Cole song, although using sexual temptation as a subject, still sum it up generally if you submit the word "wrong" for love. :

"Deep in his soul, so carefully hidden, there longed a desire to be indiscreet,
For he had known when love is forbidden, love is so sweet, love is so sweet..

Forgive my philosophising..

The new speeding cameras can do red lights too. So I suspect as they put more in around junctions - more of these sorts will be caught!

Been following the Post Office/Horizon scandal for a number of years with some professional curiosity. The excellent Mr Bates v Post Office nailed it. But there clearly needs people held to account, because some of the statements made are just untenable. I don't for one minute believe, between Fuji and POL, that problems with the software and that remote access was a thing, weren't apparent from a very early stage...

100%

It really is time for those at the head of large business to be fully accountable for their watch.
