I honestly wasn't after any responses with that post, sometimes it just feels better getting it written down somewhere.
Thanks very much, though, fellas, I really do appreciate those kind words.
They're no good people, printing no good lies in no good newspapers, and as good as the money is, it's time I got away from the place.
Unsurprisingly, honour and integrity are not words one can associate with my employers, and it's getting to a point where my dignity and self-respect are being affected.
It's always been a means to an end and I've never been proud of working for them, but I've always looked at the bills being paid and just got on with it.
However, it's now got to the stage where I want my employer to value me and my skillset, not just treat me like I should be grateful that I've got a job like these people do.
Rant over.

Hmmm, I know the feeling of hating a job and having to stick to it. In fact that's how I felt most of my career, mercifully I am now retired.
I make an exception from your list of don't buys for the dear old FT - both versions - the Fortean Times, the leading journal of the weird, uncanny and downright bizarre and it's more distinguished relative the Financial Times which has never been part of Murdoch's empire. It's also a very balanced paper and deeply distrustful of The Orange Jesus, aka Tangerine Sh*t Gibbon, aka Mango Mussolini, over in States.

Evri - again.
Seller says parcel out for delivery today, so I go to the Evri app to track it and they say it's been delayed until the next working day. I'm in bed in agony with this bug and had to stick my phone on loud so I can hear the doorbell cam and tell the driver to leave with a neighbour, I don't know why I bothered - they'd probably still chuck it over the side gate.
How are these f***ing cowboys still allowed to trade? Their trustpilot review page is averaging over 4, but I'm calling absolute bullshit on that - there's no way all those positive reviews are genuine.

Jamie Carragher, the spitting Scouse puke.
Mo Salah talking to the guys in the Sky Sports studio about why he's choosing to leave his Liverpool team to go play in the AFCON, and what it means to him to play for his country.
Explaining that it means so much to play for his country etc etc like it did for Carragher for England etc.
Then the spitting cobra pipes up - with some blatant lipservice to the 'scouse not English' tw##s - that it wasn't the same for him, it meant more to him to play for Liverpool.
Well, at least that explains why you were so f***ing sh*te, Jamie la.

Sky TV and their daytime ads.
If they're not telling me about Funeral plans, they're trying to sell me life insurance, then there's the one that says that I've got a one in 3 chance of getting Cancer, the list goes on. By the time the next part of the programme I'm watching comes around I'm so pissed off that I don't want to watch it anymore.
Why the f*** do I have to sit through these when I'm paying a subscription to watch that particular channel? It's an absolute p**s-take.
I've even got to watch adverts when I want to watch anything on catch-up on Sky Go that I'm also paying for - these cheeky bastards are absolutely raking it in.
f*** off, Sky, you're getting cancelled if this carries on.

The S*n... again.
Typically horrible journalism once more, decrying as 'ill' the Bolton fan who had suffered a cardiac arrest (and who has since sadly died).
#DontBuyTheS*n. And RIP, Iain Purslow.

It's an utterly disgusting rag, Maccy. Indeed, News Uk are the absolute bottom of the barrel when it comes to standards in general.

The melt who thought it was funny to interrupt the World indoor bowls on BBC2 (my late Grandad won many trophies playing the crown green version, so I've watched it ever since) with 'that' porn moan audio clip.
Congratulations to them for being the funniest person on the planet.. In fact, scratch that - they're the funniest person in the entire universe, ever!

Car Insurance hikes !!!!
Both of us have full NCBs yet:-
Mrs Len on the Kia was quoted £530 by the AA (£256 last year). Gone with Churchill (via Go Compare - insured excess of £250) for £327 Len quoted £375 on my Toyota Auris by Direct Line (£208 last year). Gone with Aviva (via Compare the market) for £207 !!!
They are all thieving bar-stewards and I know I will have to go through it all again next year. Good job I have the time to do it. I love the phone call making the poor sod at the other end squirm trying to keep my business. Quick answer is - "Don't try and bloody well rip me off every time "

Daytime TV when I'm working nights. Every advert is either "give just £2 a month" or something similar. I've just had to switch the TV off, because on every different channel I've tried to watch something, the first advert that comes on is a f***ing fund raising push, followed by another and if they're not asking for money donations, they're trying to get a chunk of your will too - I'm absolutely sick of it. 'Subscription TV' is right, it's riddled with channels all giving you opportunities to subscribe to one charity or another. I'm a f***ing charity, I work in a corrupt job, for corrupt employers in a corrupt, morally bankrupt industry, so where's my f***ing £2 a month? I'll tell you where my £2 a month would going if it was being sent to me, it would be going on electricity, because I need it for when I'm not in work on back breaking 12-hour nightshifts - so I can relax and watch the televis.......oh...... f*** off.

Luke Littler.
Super-talented, but he's way short on humility and respect.
I can't warm to the kid.
