Supermarkets that display pizzas stood up on end, so all toppings slide to the bottom of the pizza.

- The Eurostar terminal at St Pancras (a zoo).

- The passenger who barged in front of me to get on the train (that you have an allocated seat for) 20 minutes before it is going to leave, and then tried to dob me in to the conductor for not having a ticket when I challenged him on being a prick.

- The passengers (must have been half a dozen) on the Eurostar train who watched me drop my passport as I was getting off and said absolutely nothing. In some miracle I checked my pockets as I got onto the platform and realised, before jumping back on to find it on the floor.

Not a good morning for ESB1.

Used to love going on the Eurostar, the last time we used it (to Amsterdam) in 2022 it was a complete shitshow. The train was half-empty too; apparently a post-Brexit thing?

The organisation of it is frankly pathetic. It is a great idea and I prefer it to short haul flying for sure, but they really are all over the place. That terminal is also ridiculous and you feel like you're sardines waiting to board the train.

There's been talk of competitors lining up to do some routes and it isn't surprising at all.

Sat in my car before a match in car park listening to Oggy, and I heard a loud noise from outside, thought it might be trouble brewing. Then he walked past shouting into his phone, held high in front of him. Dipstick.

Parents who expect their kids teachers to give them good grades just for the hell of it. How the fuck do you expect them to have a good grade when can't even be bothered to do a 5 minute interview assignment? No wonder their kids are entitled little shits*

I’m usually against that sort of stuff but quite like the fireworks for the smoke afterwards.

Whilst annoying, a lot of this is on the employer themselves. Employers that will take employees through the absence stages will force people to come in to work.
If, in a 12 month period I have 1 day off with the shits, 2 days off with a cold and 1 day off because of my kids, im on stage 3 absence and 1 more absence within a 24 month period and im looking at the sack! And keeping my job is just a tad more important than caring about giving you the sniffles!

In the same kinda vein as this, something that bugs the life out of me....

Schools that ALL now abuse the fines for days out of school power! Something that, rightly, was bought in to punish repeat offenders of wagging school. Now, a child with, otherwise, 100% record wants 3 days off school for a holiday of a lifetime, is now exploited by greedy schools abusing their power!

Much the same as employers bought in absence procedures for high offenders, that we now ALL suffer from!

There's many studies on this and as with things like working from home and the 4 day week its something where employers will ignore the evidence thinking they know better.
The phenomenon of presenteeism - where employees work while unwell - has evolved into a critical challenge for UK businesses, with new research conducted by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) revealing that its cost has skyrocketed to an alarming £103bn in 2023. This represents a incredible £30 billion increase since 2018 (£73bn), highlighting an urgent need for workplace culture reform and improved health management strategies.

As well as finding that the costs associated with presenteeism have rocketed to £103bn, the study by the IPPR found that:-
  • Employees now lose an average of 44 days of productivity annually due to working while sick
  • As presenteeism exacerbates illness over time, sick leave has increased on average from 3.7 to 6.7 days per annum
  • British workers remain among the least likely to take sick leave compared to their European counterparts
  • Of the £30 billion cost increase since 2018, £25bn is attributable to reduced productivity, whilst £5bn is due to increased sick leave
  • Presenteeism disproportionately affects those "people in lower quality jobs and workers lacking formal qualifications."

The amount of spammy leaflets that the postman now seems to put through my door. Made a trip to my door earlier just to post a leaflet about specsavers.

It's not just specsavers, dominoes etc etc.

They aren't addressed to me, just spam mail but it's the postman doing it.

Do Royal Mail get paid for it now?

They have always done mail shots and flyers . Under old pay deals they would have been a payment or allowance for doing these but that has been cut back .

I worked briefly on RM deliveries in between jobs just over thirty years ago and I don't honestly recall them being included then.
I'm pretty sure these flyers have been delivered by RM for about 15 - 20 years now. A company that has long been losing money and facing serious competition won't turn down the opportunity of extra revenue.

Obviously under warranty and will be replaced?

If it's not, then the cables from the PSU will go to the motherboard etc.

I got it from gigante. It was a refurbished unit. Good spec and needed it quickly, hence no real time to shop around. The previous one I built myself. Lasted about 8 years
