Tazio Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I’m giving up *insert something they barely do anyway* for lent. Good for you. Oh, I didn’t realise you were catholic? I’m not. But you’re religious though? I’m not. Then why the **** are you observing lent then you idiot? Just so you can put it on your Facebook page and, in better times, go on about it at work? If you genuinely want to do a religious observance try Ramadan, that one’s a bit trickier than giving up pickled onions for a month. But I did dry January as well. You only drink about two glasses of wine a week, about the same as everybody else I know who did it. Try giving up talking shite, that’ll be more of a challenge for you I’d guess. Oddly my yearly annoyance at this still isn’t sinking in with some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There web services are useless and trying to phone and actually get someone to speak impossible. The whole DO thing really annoys me, I've got 2 post offices within half a mile of my front door yet if I miss a parcel I need to either wait 3-4 days for re-delivery or drive nearly 3 miles (if I was to rely on public transport i'd need to get 4 buses) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet if I’m not in the driver apparently can’t hand a parcel to them and put a note through my door saying it’s in the post office. If I need to go and collect it it’s a long journey as I don’t have a car and have to bus or cycle, I’d rather cross the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
