That's shit mate. Hope the karma train comes by and hits them at 200kph.

Hope you have a good Xmas.

 

[nosco]

Thats a really shit thing to happen especially since they came into your house. Contact the financial ombudsman too in regard to the keys and see what they say since it involves both house and car insurance. Cant hurt.

Shit, flew to Hong Kong today and ordered a beer with my lunch....got a fckn VB.
The next leg is to NY so no doubt it'll be Bud.
Went hunting for a beer in the airport here and you have to sit down and order a meal if you want beer, not happy.

The continuous stream of posts on FB about 2016 being "the worst year ever".

Did we all get the same education? I'm pretty sure the close to 2 million Casualties in just two of the battles fought during 1916 (Verdun and the Somme) trump anything 2016 has thrown at us.

Oh no. Apparently some human met another human on a tv show, became conjoined at the hips, then disengaged. This made news. Seriously. And something of little consequence happened which was caught on video, this also became news. Then 20 other people tweeted about it. These twits when copy and pasted formed the majority of the subsequent article on some news site.

Lowest common denominator, here we come.

It would appear the lowest common denominator welcomed us with open arms quite a while ago. I suspect the quality of news reporting may decrease even further. You should use your summary as an application for a postition of news editor/producer because you nailed it.

Been going on for too long, I agree. Some days it just really really IRKS me. Yesterday was one of those.

Regarding a job prospect, nah. Insufficient political correctness or arse licking here. Just can't be done.I'd have the 'let's love everyone' left, conservative right, and 'mealy mouthed' middle out for blood. Any societal group with an aversion to common sense and what is 'right' would be put offside. And probably a few of them as well :lol:

Farking keytags, door swipers, loyalty cards, etc
Just wandered over to the gym in my lunchbreak at work to do a bit of cardio and some yoga/mobility exercises, but couldn't get in
No staff on this week, and because I'm incredibly forgetful/unorganised (I'm Primarily Inattentive ADHD) I forgot my swipie tag thingie
Too many bloody things to remember/carry around these days, what's wrong with a keypad?

 

[goomboogo]

You don't need a swipe card to go to the pub for lunch. Problem solved.

So they still accept cash then ?

 

[Brownsworthy]

Farking fark insomnia, 2 and a half hours sleep in the last 48 and tonight ain't looking any better. FARK!

Why do fathers-in-law think that they are more qualified to make decisions about how you bring up your own kids than you are? And what gives them the idea they can possibly dismiss and over-rule you in front of the kids? They had plenty of opportunity with their own kids, now it's time to sit back and shut the **** up.

 

[Kingy]

My mother in law is like that, "I should know, I had 4 kids" hear it all the time.
It's hard when ya don't believe in any advice they give.
"All kids need a bit of weight on them" is another regular one.
Fark me.

 

[shaunous]

Jeez, hearing stories about your families on here makes me realise how good mine are

You wanted to do Yoga in your lunch break??? I wouldn't let you in my door either

 

[wide eyed and legless]

Very droll shaunous.

I have a great mother in law but the father in law is a bit of a stuffed shirt, I get under his skin (he is a wine buff) by pronouncing the wines as read, been doing it for years but it still gets him and he still corrects me. Find his Achilles heel peteru and hone in on that, it'll take his mind away from telling you how to bring up your own kids.

Normally I'd agree, but it's doing wonders for the herniated soft disc in my lower back
I'll try anything if it'll stop this chronic pain

You'd forget the PIN unless you wrote it down and put it in the wallet you continually leave behind on the kitchen bench.

I liked this post...
But.... 2016 was fucked and my resilience was reached on one occasion.

In that way 2016 was the best year ever... but in any case, I can't wait to see it's a-hole in my rear view mirror.

Anyway I've got my awesome Belgian beers to bring in the new year.

My wishes are for all of us to have a cracking 2017!

You're actually right...
