My grump of the day is stupid, big company systems that you have to work in or not get the work. You know the ones, masses of paperwork that's BS and you've been told to BS by them. Then you have to upload it by clicking on link after link on their secure website b system. Oh did I mention each click takes anywhere up to minute or minute and half to move to the next page.
Then you get told something else was needed that wasn't when you uploaded it so you have to make those changes and re upload them with the same set of delays.
All this when the only thing that is really needed is "can you make this part?", with a simple yes/ no. It's big company stuff that's not relevant for SMEs. Job creation within a bloated organisation. In mean a soft, flexible part getting treated like a metal, CNC machined, precision part. Stupidity cost a lot more relatively for a small company than a large one.
Well, I am 70, and was ill for a week, arm killing me for 3, according to the Covidence Study I am in that makes me a superhuman aged 20-40, yes I agree he's selfish,, he could give it to others, or get really ill, the last wave, it was the younger folk who got sickest with the virus. Hubby, was ill 2 days, my kids 40s, 50, all ill 2 days. Oddly enough friends I have in different areas had Phizer and no effects at all, we all had AZ.
I believe you are more likely to have side effects from AZ. Personally I think it’s a personal choice whether or not to have vaccine I wouldn’t get into an argument with anyone over what is their decision. Some of my colleagues haven’t had it that’s up to them.
No side effects for me but my neighbour had it the same time as me and said he felt really tired the next day. He still went to work but had to finish early. I might have felt tired but that's just how I feel every day at the moment so I might just be used to it
My grump today is bins. I collected a large bag of plastic waste from along the river today. I'd hoped to leave it in a public bin on the way home but every bin I saw was overflowing. My bin is nearly full with another week before it gets emptied and I have to have an appointment to go to the tip. We've also had another letter to say the bin police are monitoring our bin contents and we'll get fined if there's anything recyclable in there too but I don't really want to have to pick through this litter and clean it enough to be recycled. Annoyingly it also turns out everyone else in my street has a bin that's double the size of mine but the bin police don't seem to bat an eyelid about the amount of waste you make as long as it goes through the recycling stream before they incinerate it.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I'd say whatever bin we put ours in , it goes in the incinerator. They use it to generate electricity or something. Anyway, our bins don't get policed.
Thanks for all the comments. There's nothing I can do to make my SIL have the jab and I only found out about it as he came to collect the battery from my car to charge up for me as I so rarely drive. But I did make sure we were properly socially distanced!
What a terrible bit of journalism. The reporter didn't find a single thing that most councils take as recyclable waste so it looks like the majority of stuff being burned was things that people have stuffed into the recycling that should have gone in the bin or to a specialist recycling point but which the councils have failed to remove before exporting. Why tell a bunch of school kids that this means their plastic bottles aren't being recycled? Surely the point to make is that supermarkets still need to cut down on packaging that can't be recycled and that people need to pay attention to what can go in which bin.

I'm the past few years I have seen several documentary films about recycling Fiona Bruce,Real Story where our carefully washed and sorted went to Indonesia in container ships. I asked at our tip,where we used to live what happens to it next,bloke said "what's it got to do with you?"Hugh Fernley Wittingstall recently,also shipped off abroad,and Morgan Sanders.
Here's mine! Both dogs to the vet today,one GA so NBM we agreed Hubby takes her for a nice walk so I can feed the other one. Sitting in conservatory patiently waiting,light and fan on,I keep checking, thinking he's in the shower,so I can feed him, thought he's a blooming long time, just checked,he isn't, he's gone out,nice of him to let me know!! OMG apart from no breakfast, the dog knows something is afoot,she was acting a by weird last night, subdued, she doesn't mind the vet
