people know it's going to be bad, but they just strap on their battledress and a fixed expression, and head into the melee. it's easy enough to avoid but people just go at the same time as everybody else and no-one has a pleasant shopping experience.
...i once left it late and went to a 24hr asda in the middle of the night to discover that the table was bare. it was like there'd been a post-apocalyptic supermarket sweep, and THERE WERE NO POTATOES!! this is britain for f***'s sake - how do you run out of potatoes? i think mad max was sweeping down the next aisle at the time, also potatoless.

I started off my working life on the M&S Graduate scheme and every December was thoroughly unpleasant. No annual leave allowed and all staff on the shop floor at 6am Christmas week filling up on sprouts and cabbages. It certainly was not goodwill to all man that week.
At as I went from a store to regional to divisional role, it was always the same every year - filling up on foods and seeing people at their worst - no escape. Even with three food deliveries during the day, the amount of food people put in their trolley's in a panic was obscene.
We shop at our local butcher and greengrocer. I haven't been able to face it since - and that was over 14 years ago!

that snide little rat jamie vardy. i noticed him giving some to the opposition fans after he scored at the weekend, and he did it for all three goals of his hat-trick against southampton. even for the ninth goal. cock. really, really good footballer. done incredibly well for himself. personality clearly hasn't evolved despite the earning-your-dues climb from non-league to england.

F***w*ts who reverse into your car parked outside your house in a cul de sac and drive off leaving no details. Hatchback door wrecked, glass everywhere, bumper... It's a massive prang so it must have been a large vehicle...cue a hit on the excess.

There are some proper tw##s about. Was the driver visiting a neighbour? I had an encounter with a like minded tw## a couple of weeks ago on the A592 down the side of Windermere. In places it is very narrow with a number of tightish bends so the last thing I needed as I took a left hander was to encountered an arsehole coming towards me on the racing line. There is no kerb on that stretch of the road and the only thing preventing me hitting the dry stone wall as I took evasive action was some natural bedrock which I bounced over at 30mph. It put a hole in the tyre about 35mm long and damn near sheared the mounting eye off the shock absorber. £400 later and it's probably a good job the tosser didn't stop!

Utter pricks.
Sorry to hear about that, Yorks and I hope you can find out who it was and nail the horrible tw##, Ceef.

BH sorry to hear that, and downright dangerous as well. Think we know who it is but getting the evidence is the problem. The irony is he may be doing some work on one of the neighbours house....

Amazon's latest excruciating advertising campaign, involving so-called staff telling the camera how great it is to work there with the flexible hours being good for their family lives and Amazon targets not being a bad thing.
Bezos state radio.
Then you've got that blind girl advert "Lexa, what's the weather like outside?" - is there no low that he will not stoop to in order to make more and more money? Not only that, but it's almost like he's trying to get his devices eavesdropping in as many households as he can.
I loathe that man and his company. Let's all get back to the high street this Christmas and tell that sinister bastard to shove it.
f*** off, Amazon.

It could have been worse and almost certainly more expensive so I goy away with that. Did he leave any paint from his vehicle attached to yours? If he did the Police cab=n send it away for examination and comparison with paint taken from his vehicle.

The 'B' word and the election appeared in my phone's news feed today, so I clicked it and saw this: Why are Google allowing paid political ads at such a crucial time? With a system this corrupt, what chance do we have?

With a system this corrupt, what chance do we have? And equally as pertinent, particularly since Johnson is sitting on the results of an enquiry into the influence of foreign governments (Russia) in previous elections, where has the money to pay for it come from? And what is particularly depressing is the fact that so many voters lack the awareness to question it, swallowing whole the assumption that there is anything 'democracy' has anything to do with it.

david berman of silver jews died in august and i have only now seen that. some of the funniest, most poetic and most emotional couplets in any music i've ever listened to, all in a warm brown corduroy voice. haven't listened for too long due to familiarity, but think i'll be living a silver jews soundtrack for a while.
