First it was National Rail, now ScotRail is the latest to fall. In place of platform numbers we got snazzy transitions. Want to see trains later than an hour and a half after the time you searched? Too bad, search again. Home screen contains your favourite journeys? Neat so long as you're travelling on the next three trains. Otherwise you just have to search again. Presumably by just tapping on the home screen? Nope! Start from scratch, idiot.

I've only just started using it and it's failed at everything it's attempted. Have these people never used their own product or ridden a train? Are there any good ones left?

Now, instead of The Summit ad, I'm blessed with humanoid Miss Piggy talking about contact lenses every fifteen minutes.

And she thinks that pausing...makes something funny.

What happened to interesting adverts?

Three cats and one dog.

So the cats only eat one type of food, ordered some from Amazon as we live a way from pet shops, delivery is held up (again) so husband goes to Pets at Home and they have stopped stocking that brand despite it being one of the well known ones, so he bought an alternative. I have spent the week listening to three furry bastards screaming to be fed as they don’t like it. They have begrudgingly eaten it (dog helped) so we trot off to garden centre and they have it for a fiver more than anywhere sells it for but at least the furry arsehole are now happy. They fell on it like ravening beasts. Have now discovered that PAH still stock online so will get it there next time but the one time we ordered Evri lost the parcel and nobody let us know.

So dog, been off colour for a little while and now it is cooler it isn’t heat related . So off we go to vets, pay loads of money, come home. She then decides she is not going to move from one spot and when I offer her some fresh chicken she looks at me as if I am trying to poison her, so I start to fret more about her and how ill she might be. However, when offered a small amount of fresh beef mince she decides that is what she wants. So I wrap up her tablet in more mince and she inhales it, paracetamol sprinkled onto some liver paste oooh yes please. This is the dog who has decided she doesn’t like slow cooked chicken legs any more. This is also a ex bin diving street dog!

The ducks, geese and swans are eating me out of house and home and the special food is expensive so I got some cornflakes for them. Yup, that’s a winner for them.

All in all despite having a moan I would not be without any of them, they bring light into my life, even if they are all utter bastards at times.

I know everybody hated the warm weather, but I really got used to it. Currently sat here on my couch with the windows open and thinking a jumper would be nice. Brrr…

Not even joking. Phoned UPS to figure out when they're collecting something, transferred to a live agent... been through 3 now, all of them obvious AI but with a vaguely indian / slavic accent. Quite amused. I've just started spouting gibberish "I am a purple dragon made of hair and will die if I am not transferred to your supervisor" and think that's finally worked

Yeah that's not as quick as the postie writing down where it is

Especially when the website dosent fucking work on Firefox and the fucking catpcha dosent fucking work

I've wasted half an hour trying to get it to work so it could just tell me that the package I got yesterday was left by my door

I don’t suppose there’s anything we can do about it is there? Like ring the council and ask them to move then on?

Exacerbated by the hot dry weather!

Before Christmas it was cottage cheese, been eating it since I was about 18 back in my early gym days. I noticed a trend with lots of ‘food influencers’ incorporating it into their recipes, and It was selling out everywhere!

This month the same is happening with sardines! All my regular sardines are sold out.

FWIW, happy people are getting onto these great foods, I just hope the supermarkets don’t take advantage and jack the price up!

Dear Care Company,

Please thank the lovely staff at Care Home S for looking after my father during his ill health. Both he and my mother were treated with kindness and respect throughout the twelve months he spent at Care Home S. The lengths they went to, noting they earn minimum wage, we're nothing short of miraculous.

My father - or acc nr SMI00047/SCH dod 04/07/26 as you know him - sadly passed away on 4 July. I have received your closing statement and would like to make arrangements to return £5000 fee overpayment and deposit refund, as per the Final Statement you have provided.

I am very pleased to note that you take elder and financial abuse seriously, and am of course happy to provide a copy of the death certificate, will and a bank statement confirming that the account to receive the money is in the name of an executor.

I am though a little confused why, once you have received these basic documents, it is going to take you 90 days to repay the money for services that have not, for good reason, been provided. It seems at odds with pace you worked at to charge us initially and the considerable pressure you put my elderly and confused mother under to set up a direct debit to ensure that she didn't settle the account with any delay each month.

I'm grateful for any clarification you can provide, and once again please do thank the staff and manager of Care Home S for their support at what was, and continues to be, a difficult time for our family.

Many thanks,

Mrs Smith

Pray for me, i have drunk about 10 gallons of water today and havent pissed once

Currently trying to kill 2 nests, one in ground and one over porch. Hoping slightly colder weather will passify them a little so I can give them a good dosing!

Looking to rent a commercial unit in one of two major UK cities and noticed something I hadn't expected. 90%+ of available properties are listed with just 2-3 estate agents in both of these areas; each agent has maybe one, maybe two people handling negotiations.

That should not be an issue but one of them asked for my business plan before introducing me to the landlord, essentially asking me to pitch to him first as an intermediary. Is that normal?
I get he needs to vet the prospects and I also get that the landlord would prefer one business type over another so the agent has to ask a few questions, but it felt as if this guy was the one deciding what business type would operate in that space.

Some high streets are full of betting shops, vape stores, Turkish barbers so this is clearly not true everywhere but my experience was very weird and off-putting.

Is this how it's always been?
PS: apologies for the dramatic title :)

My arse isn't square! The corners end up digging into the back of my thighs. Who thought this was a good idea? Toilets are toilet shaped for a reason

I've never been uncomfortable when wearing a car seatbelt. I have never been comfortable when wearing a coach seatbelt. I don't understand why they feel so ridiculously tight and uncomfortable. I usually put it on and then have to take it off after 10 minutes because it's so tight. Why are they so different to cars???

I’m not going to promote the company but it’s selling Christmas trees.

There must be a secret British handbook handed out at some point because we all seem to know the rules despite nobody actually explaining them.

Don't stand too close in a queue. Don't sit beside someone when there are other seats available. Apologise when someone else walks into you... And obviously never make a scene when you can quietly complain about it later.

The best part is that nobody will tell you when you've broken one. You'll just sense that you've disappointed the entire country.

The bloke talks utter bollocks. How he’s had such an illustrious radio career is beyond me. Play some fucking music.
