    Yeah, I went to Asda today though as I was in N Watford. I don't have their loyalty card or whatever. In Tesco I always scan as I shop

    Local councils who have now moved all of their services online but don’t actually work properly, in my case Islington Council who make me feel like I’m in a Monty Python spoof on 70s bureaucracy of eventually speak to them in person .

    Dumb parents. What an earth is happening in America and particularly Florida under the reign of Ronald de Santis ? An outcry from 3 parents has meant that a school principal has had to resign her post because according to these numskulls the statue of David (the depiction of the perfect man) in Florence is pornographic and offensive.

    These are probably the same sort of parents who have no objection to beauty pageants for small girls or seeing some talentless sleazebucket like Britney Spears gyrating about the stage. What next ? Parents who will complain about the teaching of evolution ? Humanism ? Certain philosophies ? Books from a particular author ? Shame on the school authorities for not acting to support the principal.

    It's funny with the US people isn't it. The moat horrific violence in their films and media is fine.

    But a glimpse of buttock, nipple or bolllock sends then into a moral frenzy.

    Indeed. The infamous Scropes trial. They the nutty religious right are trying to pressure schools about teaching creationism and intelligent design. Trying like religions have since time immemorial drag us back into the cave and their clutches.

    D*ckheads who are unable to grasp the simple fact that people can't get off the tube because they're standing completely blocking the exit. The absolute stupidity of some people I find incredible. How can you be so unaware of others? What goes on in their heads? I had this twice yesterday where on relatively empty platforms the idiots positioned themselves across the doors as the train stopped.

    I am tempted to purchase one of these and charge the ****s:

    I used to have an empty Tennets Super can which I took to and from work, which more often than not when grasped afforded me a bit of room in the rush hour.

    I think the Simpsons did the whole statue of David being opposed by religious groups "wont somebody please think of the children" 30 years ago. It was satire back then. But look where we are now...

    I was on the tube the other day and two American woman got on with huge suitcases at one of the small end doors, then then just stayed there in that little bit at the end. The spent the whole time apologising to everyone they were blocking from getting on and off the tube at that end. Why not just get on at the large doors so everyone can navigate round you easily enough? Absolute morons.

    Amazon Prime - "Order within the next 2 hrs 14 minutes for delivery today (Thursday) before 10pm".
    Order immediately.
    "Thank you for your order. Delivery Date - Tomorrow Friday 31st"

    That's your fault for living in the sticks.
    I get annoyed when I group multiple purchases together to be delivered on the same day and they decide to delivery soem of it a day earlier.

    The Lockers are excellent.

    Did you select the right delivery option before finalising the purchase? It probably defaults to standard next day

    Thanks, you're right. When I buy immediately rather buy via the basket, it switched back to next day. I've just updated it to rush delivery so I get it today. Not that it was that urgent but it's why I picked product A rather than product B....

    They've tried to teach Creationism and intelligent design as alternatives arguing evolution doesn't explain everything and alternative 'ideas' should be made aware to all children. It's quite worrying the state of America. They are heavily reliant on taking brainpower from other nations. Go through university posts and you will find many are not from the US. SATs scores are declining year by year.

    You see satirical shows of a few years back lampooning such attitudes and they are quite prescient. America really is going to hell in a handbasket. Next they'll be asking books to be burnt. Books will burn.......

    Woman on Keto or Ketogenic diets. The principal is sound, you cut carbs, so instead your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight that way. But I have a few in my extended family doing it who think it’s an excuse to eat as much crap as they want as long as it’s fat. It’s like banging your head against a brick wall explaining they still need to be in a calorie defect to actually burn body fat, and as much as they want to believe it, there is no magic diet where the more fat you eat the more weight you lose.

    It's when they continue eating all the fat they like, indeed actively trying to find new delicious fatty foods and sneak carbs (a massive chinese doesnt count apparently) and then protest that they cant understand how they are putting on weight.

    It’s is truly bizarre, the most recent conversation I had went a little like this: “I need to up my fat intake, I haven’t had enough fat today, my diet need to be 70% fat” precedes to cook a steak in butter

    Right, ok, but you realise that if you’ve had the right amount of carbs today you don’t need to just eat fat for the sake of it, because obviously the extra fat you’re eating will just replace the fat you could’ve burned off instead?

    “No that’s not how Keto works, you just have to make sure what you eat is 70% fat, that’s how the diet works, and I haven’t eaten enough fat today so I have to eat more”

    Right, ok, so if you ate 20,000 calories today, as long as 70% of that was fat then you’d still lose weight?

    “oh just go away”

    The noise and sight of someone who is on the very last bit of a yoghurt or a bowl of cereal doing that thing where they hold it up to near there face and do a series of small scrapes in quick succession to gather up the last bits of the yoghurt/cereal.

    Know what I mean?
