Fragile Do Not Bend Oct 2019 10:52am, 10 Oct 2019 4,945 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend Trying to get into Cambridge. The 1000+ spaces park and ride was full so we had to try and find somewhere in the street to park. Then the bus journey into the centre was more expensive than the park and ride fare despite it being the same bus. 😡

I can see he may want to do it for the experience, but banging on like he deserves a place more than people who do actually run regularly really pisses me off.

OTOH Royal Mail delivered a timed/recorded/tracked/guaranteed/whatever letter days late to my daughter - another half-hour and it would have cost her weeks of stress, two days of her life and £1000. That's a bit more than 'inconvenience'.

Also in reference to albums being released and books being published. Don’t know why it irritates me but it really does.

Reminds me of a day when my senior colleague told me the 'man from Mars' was visiting. I thought he was being justifiably rude about an IBM rep I was expecting, but he actually meant someone from the company Mars.
