Why do Microsoft platformed pc's and Android phones have to continuously have updates ?

Why can't they get it right - before a platform or App is launched??

Council tax!

I'd rather take my own rubbish to the tip every week instead of waiting 2 weeks for my bin to be emptied.. but only if it's not too heavy, or not containing unwashed  :censored:  cartons.

And while we're at it, I never use the police, don't usually set my house on fire and none of my kids attend a public school.. so basically I pay £120 a month for 2 bin collections, and the council christmas knees up!

Car Insurance

Why, when I haven't made any claim, received any tickets or been involved in any accident for over 12 years + have an annual driven mileage reducing year-on-year - does the premium increase almost every year?

The latest excuse is that the government insurance premium tax has been increased.

Why is it - when petrol prices are 'mostly' increasing - a whole generation feel the need to drive a fuel inefficient 'tank' of a 4x4 vehicle - especially when the vast majority also never drive them off road ??

What gets me these days is the pissing school run
... over egoed and over sensed feeling of worth with these mothers all sat in massive people carriers taking their one child to school which is less than 1/2 a mile away.... let them walk..... we did and life was ok ....

FPVSteve

Yep, I walked 3 miles to school by myself from 9yr old onwards. That included winter when it was pitch black.

Didn't think it was anything out of the ordinary, in fact I quite enjoyed it because its what every other kid did and I'd be lying if I said we didn't have a laugh on the way there and back!!

Hair cleaning products

Why is it that every make of these products always uses the smallest font possible for the most important wording?

Shampoo and Conditioner are written so small that most of the time you don't realise what you are buying or, at home, what you are pouring over your head!

Spoken English Changes

1) 'of' is disappearing - we now go "out the door" or "out the window" - we used to go "out of ...."

2) 'ly' is fast being lost - we now go 'private' and shop 'local' - me, I shop locally!

And don't start me on English grammar standards

Receiving a letter (remember what one of those is?) that has been written in text-speak causes me to rip it up without reading it. If people cannot be bothered to write properly - I cannot be arssed to read it!!

Parties - mostly full of imbeciles and social climbers - I spend most of my time arguing with a piece of wallpaper!
