This, almost 'Evri' f***ing time they're the courier for a purchase I've made online... I've blanked out the retailer's name on this occasion, as I don't think it's their fault, plus they've refunded my next day delivery charge. I honestly don't know how this company is still being used by retailers, because they're shocking. You only have to look at their Trustpilot feedback to see the bad reviews they've got, but what's worse is that they do not respond to complaints like other businesses usually do. Formerly known as 'Hermes', they've spent a small fortune on a rebrand but changed nothing except the name and logo. As I've said before, if a door to door salesman (I know they're not really a thing anymore, but bear with me) messed up your order one week, then came knocking the following week sporting a new suit and a different hairstyle, would you still buy something from him? The biggest p***-boiler for me, however, is when they finally DO deliver my parcel and send me an email thanking me for "choosing Evri" and asking me for feedback. No matter how many times I respond by saying I didn't choose them and tell them why I never would, I never get a response. They just don't care.

I was once asked on a scale of 1-10 to rate my Hermes delivery.
I gave them a 1.
The question was "why did I give them a 1 ?"
So I wrote "because there isn't a 0 on the scale"

Wayne 'my head is as empty as my trophy cabinet' Mardle - again.
I swear I've just heard him say live on TV that anyone's record against Michael Fat Gurning before 2012 doesn't count.. Let me repeat that.... DOESN'T COUNT, because he wasn't playing as well as he did from that point.
Ah well, sorry, fellow County fans - those wins against Citeh don't count, because they weren't very good at the time.
That man talks complete and utter f***ing shite.
If they gave out trophies for talking b*ll*cks and being a tw##, Mardle would have more silverware than Phil Taylor.

The PDC grand slam of darts crowd in Wolverhampton tonight, but also in general.
Absolute brain-dead morons, who have probably just learned to walk upright. Singing Scotland's Gary Anderson's name when he won against Wales' Gerwyn Price the other night, but now he's playing against England's Luke Humphries, they're singing "Scotland get battered....".
Absolute knuckle draggers.
I don't have many darts players/commentators I don't like, there are one or two, but I won't go into that right now as it's a well-worn subject - but it's never about where they're from.
While Gerwyn Price is a marmite character, I personally think he's a brilliant player and exciting to watch, it's never dull when he's playing. Gary's brilliant too, as is Humphries. I don't see nationalities in the Darts, I see great players, I just don't get these idiots in the crowd and never will.
Morons.

Black Friday. Absolute con and anyone thinking of shopping on this day should do their homework, by simply pricing up what they're looking for a week or two earlier. I'm not saying there are no bargains to be had, but you can find bargains 365 days a year if you shop around. I've seen it with my own eyes a few years ago when I was looking into getting a 75" TV and was 'shall I or not' with the idea for a few months. It was by accident, I admit, but I noticed its price went up by around £100 a week or so before Black Friday, then it came down to where it was in the first place. In some instances they may go even further and knock a few percent off that original price to make it look more authentic when they reset the price, but I've seen it for myself, it really does happen. My advice? Get it a few weeks later, so you don't have to elbow women, children and pensioners in the face to get to it.

Of course, we bring black Friday across the pond, but not thanksgiving. A real shame as I work with quite a lot of Americans and it's a big long weekend for them, with the focus on family time on the Thursday rather than the sales on the Friday (for the reason you say, gazz)

Two years ago there was a young American girl (22) in our training group whilst she was taking a year out. We all celebrated Thanksgiving with her to make her feel like she wasn’t so far away from her family.
Last year my wife and I celebrated it with a Mexican American friend and a group of friends. As a group f friends we all talked about what he had to be thankful for (two of the group were pregnant). It was a lovely shared happy evening.
And I bought nothing on Black Friday. Apart from my usual breakfast with colleagues in a cafe round the corner from school!

Still being angry at the politically correct sh**show that Craig's last Bond movie was.
This comment on a YouTube review of the movie summed it up best:
"This is Daniel Craig's middle finger to the whole of the 007 world."
I haven't got the time to go through the extensive list of why it p***ed me off so much, but any real 007 fan should know.
It replaces OHMSS on my list as the worst Bond movie so far.
Craig's stint is no longer viewable for me, simply because I know where it ends up. For this reason, the mess that was 'Die Another Day' is where it ends for me, unless Broccoli and Wilson decide to stop being tw##s, get the next casting right and let Bond be Bond - but I won't be holding my breath.
Oh, and to Daniel Craig - f*** you, mate.

There's no rational reason to be afraid of this picture, except, y'know, she looks like one of the Brides of Dracula....

My job.
In work on nights until 3am Christmas Eve, back in Boxing Day night until 6 am this morning. Back in tonight, off tomorrow and back in on my birthday on Friday night - I really need to get out of that place, it's completely destroyed my Christmas.
I'm actually living to work right now with these 'people', and there's more to life than that.
Don't buy the S*n, or the M**l, or the Torygraph, or the FT, or the Times....
I've had enough.

Sounds like the working week from hell, Gazz - amplified all the more, no doubt, by the various special days it contains. Hope that 2024 may offer you a better way forward. And that County deliver a nice present for you from Bratfud on Friday...

Take care Gaz.
Work to live , don't live to work.
Earn your crust, pay the bills and enjoy the rest (if any left over). Just imagine the bastard bosses are paying your way for you.

As the others have said Gazza, I hope you find a better balance between work and life next year. It’s essential for your own well being. As long as you have enough money, then you have enough! Look after yourself please big fella
