Absolute Radio have changed the jingle thingies, they're now done by a man who sounds like Matt Berry, but isn't Matt Berry who used to do them.

Can't say I've noticed, probably due to them penny pinching after being taken over by Rayo.

junior work colleagues, who despite being given clear instructions to ask me if they are getting confused or aren't sure but proceed too ignore this and massively break the network doing what they think is best in contravention of our instructions and then not telling me until its too late......oh I can see a fun interview without tea and biscuits on Monday for me with Management.
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

Email from Hastings, last year you paid £220, this year it's £330.

'pah' thinks I, I can do better.

Just done a quote on the Bennetts website... £865!!!

Try Express insurance, worked for me.
Just remembered to give them a call to take it off auto-renewal (a sure fire way to get a discount) and they've dropped it to £277.

Which I don't think is too bad for three bikes.

Us Belfast natives have a phrase that drives a coach and horses straight through "It's complicated."

The "Harry Redknapp pretending to be an Alexa" ads are back on LBC.

And James O'Brien is even more smug than usual, the guy makes Rees-Mogg seem humble at times.

Rees-Mogg has a new reality TV show in the style of The Kardashians.

I've not watched it yet, I bet it's hilarious.

Computer systems!!

I have no access to ANTS (DVLA equivalent, sort of) here due to the change of first name. They produced my French driving licence in the correct legal name but didn't change it in their system so I have no access as the licence doesn't match the info on the account :roll:

When I started the course, someone in the office did the original application for the Coach licence through her account. And she'd said that as soon as the diploma arrived, she could process the final part for me.

The diploma didn't arrive until Saturday and she's off work until Friday :( :( :( Even more delays :( :(

I have emailed the two colleagues on her out of office email to ask them to help me, but I'm not sure they will - FFS!!! :cry: :cry:

And there's me thinking I was the only one who thought Mr O'Brien was a smug bar steward. Can't stand him.

You are most definitely not in a class of two. I cant even listen to him for a few minutes. One of my mates is a real left winger and J O'B even gets on his nerves, but he does still listen to him.

Waze have updated their voice directions. She used to say "Go straight on", now she says "Go straigh' on". It's bloody grating after a while.

It's food poverty innit. Can't afford food so swallow that last T. No nutritional value but it makes you feel full.

Use Google Maps instead then. Not only do Google own Waze the developers share the same office space. It's only a matter of time before Waze disappears.

Alternatively, add a custom voice or add your own voice to Waze.

See above. I've (possibly) solved the immediate problem. I suppose I could go back to using the car's satnav. It mostly works fine but it's about 5 years out of date so it sometimes thinks I'm driving across fields.
