What's annoying you today? V4
(21 Mar 2020, 3:50 pm)streetdeckfan What's really annoying me recently is the fact that NHS staff are getting basically everything for free. Free coffee, free transport, free food etc. yet other 'key workers' are getting absolutely nothing.This trolling is beyond annoying. Give your head a wobble.
I'd argue that supermarket workers are a heck of a lot more important than a lot of NHS staff, plus they come in contact with many more people who are potentially infected.
I'm not trying to downplay the importance of NHS staff, but it all seems a bit unfair to me

An already overstretched NHS is on the front line in this. They are risking their own health through merely operating with the same professionalism as they do day in day out, due to the lack of PPE that is available. On top of this, many NHS staff are working an exhausting amount of hours, with limited time to even think about the things we take for granted; food, transport, etc.
Of course there are other key workers. I am one too, but peoples lives do not depend on my work. Very few in society have that level of responsibility. As for supermarket workers, they're doing an absolutely brilliant job right now, but its out of necessity following the sheer greed of others.

Oooh, I forgot about what I said further up, and frankly I have even worse things to say now so I think I'll swiftly move on to another thing that's annoying me!
So for the past month and a bit I've been working on a new website for one of our businesses, one of the other partners is a professional copywriter so he was tasked with creating all the written content for the site. Now, bearing in mind the new site was originally supposed to be launched at the beginning of last week, I only got the content late Sunday night, and it was still missing a few pages.
I was promised the rest of the content Tuesday morning, that deadline has passed now.
The site was basically done, minus the couple pages that still need the written content, so me being me, got sick and tired of waiting and just set the new site live.
Like I said, he's a professional copywriter, and it's only a simple site. The writing that I received was fairly shoddy, didn't fit with the design of the website so I had to change a lot of it around anyway, and was full of spelling errors. We set a conservative deadline, and he assured me that it was more than enough time to get the content written, clearly it wasn't!
Anyway, moral of the story, if you want something doing, do it yourself!
(31 Jan 2020, 7:23 pm)solsburian Back in December I was traveling with my county councillor friend/colleague on the 57a to Ashington. She uses an electric wheelchair and managed to dislodge the pole in the wheelchair bay (not surprising given how cramped it is in a MPD). The driver was great about it and she wrote in aboot his good deed.
Well I read what she wrote in the other day and she thought the driver took a shine to me and thought it would be an excellent idea to "extoll the virtues" of myself. I could have killed her.
Well I had the same driver on the the 57a today and the best I could manage was "don't worry I'm not stalking you". I do know how to land myself in it.

Went out today to photograph the new Quaycity brand. I got a couple of them and then the lens suddenly wouldn’t focus on my DSLR and then it got jammed between the 18-24mm position on the zoom so had to abandon this and go to Durham CeX (the nearest one that had one) for a new lens. Luckily I only paid £19 as I had a game to trade in I was finished with.

Getting a bit sick of the constant posts on here and on faceache about this livery looks like someone elses livery.
It has been going on for the last 70 years, get over it.
Honestly is getting dull and tedious seeing the same posts everytime there's a repaint.

(04 Aug 2021, 4:43 pm)Andreos1 See, I am quite amazed that in this day and age (with all the technology and software available), that operators pay someone good money to create a livery which looks very like a competitors livery. Particularly when they want to stand out, be unique, different and shout out that they are different to another company operating a similar network.
Back when operators had nothing more than a small selection of paint tins, a ladder, couple of brushes and masking tape - then, yeah I could see why one operator looked like another.
Ditto when things were nationalised.
I quite enjoy comparing the livery of one operator to several other operators of a totally different company.
Passes the time when I'm bored.

Face it. Your average bus passenger in Stanley will have no idea that there's a similar looking one pootling through Slough or Salford (or wherever)
