What grinds my gears...

Oh yes the fireworks willy pullers have started.

The utter bafoon who decided to put branches of Greggs inside the fuel station at motorway services.

 

There's a Greggs literally 50 yards away inside the main service station building, you know, the building that is purposely built for food outlets, shops and toilets (arcades for some weird reason, but thats another story).

 

Sandra, the only person behind the counter in the petrol station, cant be authorising the pumps and serving steak bakes simultaneously, they have seperate counters.

 

But after she has managed to finally let you start pumping your fuel, I've then got to go inside and queue behind 5 people ordering lattes, sausage rolls and rather delicious looking caramel custard donuts.

 

I JUST WANT TO PAY FOR MY FUEL AND BE ON MY WAY.

 

It's a fuel station, sell fuel. Overpriced drinks and snacks are also acceptable.

It's part of my next podcast - Daggers Looks At Things. To date, I'm struggling to attract followers. I'm beginning to wonder if a silent visual format translates well to audio podcasts.

Have you thought of delivering it naked?

I’m disappointed that you think I’d do it clothed.

Daggers Looks At Things: online smut is my favourite episode. You can actually hear some noises in that one.

Sounds like a homage to Look Around You

People getting triggered by social media. No different to people getting triggered by TV programmes back in the day. 

 

Don't like it? Turn it off or look elsewhere.

IMO Social media is a (darkly) interesting one in that it's a hugely powerful tool that can be used to further both good and bad, and our advancement of tech has really outpaced our ethical understanding of it.

Bit of fun, builds community spirit and increases community interaction and the little ones seem to have a great time.

But I saw this on your front door

The EE website. It's like a website from 2001, so much of it doesn't work

These shit YouTube Thumbnails annoy me

I was just channel hopping and managed to find The Voice UK on ITV. The judges including Olly Murs and Will.I.Am were in the middle of doing a cover of Stairway To Heaven 😲

 

It was utterly, utterly horrifying. I had a mixture of not being able to look away and wanting to kick my TV screen in. 

[Daggers]

I would watch them if they were proper first time reactions. 
 

Like, first time my boyfriend asked if he could take me up the arse, the first time I tried to apply for benefits in the belief I’d be entitled to benefits, or the first time I attempted to contact BT customer services in Mumbai over a poor download speed issue.

I see through your euphemisms- the answer is still no.

People getting trains who can't wait for you to get off and don't give you any room to get off. I really just don't understand the rush to get on when most of the time there is plenty of room for everyone.

Watching Planet Earth III, the avarice of (some) humans and what it does to natural environments and animals really grinds my gears.

Did you see the bloke who looked like an older version of Paul Whitehouse? He had no idea what was going on

Bit early in the day to begin drinking, eh?

There’s an internet-full of alternatives for you to explore if you really think anyone cares about your political hot take.
