all men are dogs…just different breeds!

The morons at the Post Office strike again!   Not only do they steal post, they apparently also steal cash that you pay in over the counter. At 16.33 on the 28th March I paid in £150 in their Farringdon branch and have a receipt and stamp in my paying in book to prove it.   Three weeks… more

I love the new courier companies who are giving Royal Mail and the Post Office a hard ass-kicking -  both on price and on actually delivering what they are paid to deliver.  The freaks at the Post Office just can’t keep their idle hands from stealing our belongings. So, since November 2011, I’ve had the following… more

Now, normally, I would take this as a compliment as I do actually have a great smile, and sometimes I do kiss random men – even without being asked.  Last night on the way home, a quite handsome man sat next to me on the bus.  He was tall, medium-build,  slightly greying with pretty blue eyes.… more

Talk about timely. To follow up on my comment yesterday about whether a D grade is acceptable from a perfectly capable teenager…. Today, the British Educational Research Association reports that the number of GCSE students with almost no mathematical ability has doubled since the 1980s with inflated grades hiding a growing problem among British teenagers.… more

Well, it depends I guess. Someone I know got a series of great A grades for their science and maths exams, and then a couple of random Ds for English and Religious Education. Now, I undersand that focussing your effort on a few subjects means that some studies fall by the wayside. I also understand that a… more

It appears we aren’t out of the recession-woods yet.  Today on the way to work, my neighbour who works for BT pointed out that they keep having huge stretches of cable stolen because they contain copper; and the price of copper has jumped to £9,000 per tonne. This reminded me that last week on the… more

Some people are just too fat, too sweaty and too hot to be near!  Today, I sat next to a guy on the train who clearly didn’t want me to sit next to him because he spread his fat-self across two seats as much as he could. Then, he very kindly thought I wanted to… more

Come on ladies, we all know them. These guys start off well and promise you the Earth, and then they can’t meet their promises. Whether it’s in the bedroom, promising to complete DIY tasks, or agreeing to attend a family event, or take you to the airport…there’s always some part of them that can’t quite… more

Skinny jeans, make-up, flip-flops and now leggings?  Come on boys, what are you thinking? On the way to work yesterday I gawped open-mouthed at a skinny string of a ‘man’ who was proudly dressed in a polo shirt, leggings and flip flops – oh and a stupid pair of over-sized glasses that probably weren’t even… more

So, today we’re being told that the British Medical Association has been campaigning to force us all to automatically donate our organs when we die – unless we opt-out.  Personally, I take my health quite seriously, so I find it offensive that they are treating it like some mass marketing campaign where I can choose… more
