Today I'm angry about.....

[Abdoulaye's Twin]

Today I'm angry at a telecoms company in the sand pit. They have a near monopoly which probably explains their ineptness and ignorance of service. I'd take my business elsewhere, but the only other option is still on my shit list for screwing me over and not giving a shit. I'm getting to the stage when I'm looking forward to leaving this place

And now my a/c has stopped working again and it's 46 fecking celsius out there

Probably not any time soon. The place is almost exclusively populated with dick heads and it gets me down sometimes. Knowledge of the weather between now and November doesn't help either.

Had a business meeting today with an old colleague who investigates insurance fraud. He's just finished looking at a number of cases that involve people claiming deafness through industrial injury, you've all seen the ads on TV. As the ambulance chasing bar stewards have now had their legal fees fixed at around 1200 quid per personal injury case, they are now chasing deafness and other industrial injuries that fall outside these rules. The last case he looked at this morning he reckons was typical. The guy claiming hearing loss after 30 years working in a steel foundry (Sounds fair comment to me and entirely possible) was awarded 4 grand. The legal bill was £72k. Fecking madness.

I'm used to produce being a bit shit here, but I'm getting particularly pissed off with potatoes. Aside from them usually being stored badly (meaning they go to mush very quickly), on a few occasions I have bought potatoes that you can't cook. By this I mean, you cook them and you cook them and they're never ready. I've just obliterated a baked potato and have had to change tack to beans on toast

After dessert?

Bemused rather than angry, but.....

How can your insurance quote go up (up, not down) if you replace "Parked on drive" with "kept in locked garage overnight" and keep every single other detail the same?

because I've recently joined as a new recruit insuree and they've run out of available discounts. Basically you're subsidising me. Ta.

You know he is going to play the game of his life against you next season.

They are a weird bunch. They change the parameters constantly. Although I'm happily down to £360 in Horwich from £650 when I was in Great Lever. If only I didn't have those pesky points...

We pay 3-5% of the value of the car. The downside is that it does mean you get 18 year olds driving V8 Dodge Chargers like it's Nascar

Sweeping statements: I'm angry that nobody called at our house and go my views on legalising drugs. Apparently, 67% of the population voted for a change of government policy. I must have been out when the survey folk called.

[Prufrock]

I really don't think you've got the concept of a survey.

Obviously not. They used to ask folks' opinions and then state how many they'd asked and what percentage said what, not claim such and such percent of the population want......

8 out of 10 cats loved the survey.

I've no idea of what you're on about! What survey? Who's claiming what?

Then why claim I have no concept of a survey? On TV this morning (The Wright Stuff) they claimed that 67% of the population wanted a government re-think on legalising drugs. Educate me, and tell me where they got that figure from?

[Prufrock]

I have no idea. From a survey I'd imagine.

You seem to think that they've not done a proper survey if they haven't asked you. That's not how survey's work.

So they didn't claim that 67% of the population have voted for a change in govt policy then?
