Random irritations/questions
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ

Scumbag Water Companies paying their shareholders incredible sums, levying debt against themselves, then whingeing about not being able to further take the p*** out of people because caps are applied to increases - Thames Water (yep, one of many that offsets it's debt interest against it's tax liability and one of many owned by a holding company that exploits every single method of dodging tax) being the latest.
This pantomime of privilege and preciousness that closes with an encore of excrement throwing to involve the audience needs to end asap - but that can't happen unless the industry is nationalised.
So yeah, Water Companies.

Socks, but especially white socks, and sandals. Just say no.
Do you have any issues with matching or non-matching socks? Life is too short to pair up socks.
As someone who has occasionally worn the absent minded Professor look, I actually quite like non-matching socks as long as it is accidental I.e the result of a cluttered mind not a deliberate fashion statement
I'm more concerned about the sock that goes missing for a sustained period, only to return to a location you'd swear you'd never assign it.
Personally, upon discovery of a long-lost sock, I will always look to bin it and certainly wouldn't put it on because it might now be possessed and seeking a host - I'm not daft enough to fall for such a basic ruse.
1-0 to me socky boy.
Give me Exeter over the big corporate Premier League clubs any day. They're a decent club with decent fans (and they almost always finish below us).
Put it this way, I'd much rather talk football with an Exeter fan from Exeter than a Man U fan from Plymouth.
The sheer amount of plonkers who think that, irrespective of assets and savings, social care should be free.

Clarification required please... is your irritation the wearing of socks WITH sandals, or do you have a problem with both socks AND sandals?
If the former, I totally agree. I love sandals, hate socks.
Good clarification. WITH. Both are okay on their own, not combined.
I have to call out the Observer again for further linguistic sloppiness that echoes a general trend. In yesterday's Sport section there was a sizeable headline that mentioned a "climatic" crash in a Paralympic cycling event.
It's bloody CLIMACTIC as in climax, not climatic as in climate. Is this kind of stuff really so difficult?

Bonfire of the subs issue.
Although saying that, the Graun/Observer have always been fine exponents of the art of the typo, even when newspapers could afford to staff themselves properly.
"Paninis".
Panini is plural already. One panino, two panini.
