Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Wife txt me the TV not working
Video called her , fixed it in 2 mins
A word of thanks?
Not a chance
Just moaning that it wasn't working
Should have left it lol
A tip for you.
Do things to make items in the home appear to not work, like remove fuses from plugs. Or turn the boiler off. Women hate not having hot water and heating for 5 minutes.
Do it on a Saturday or Sunday. Let them f*** off out of the way.
Then, have some alone time for however many hours you want it to take. She comes home and you’re the hero who has fixed it.
Camping equipment.
Why is it when it's new,it packs into the little bags lovely and straps to you bruck sack superb(chair,mattress,Sleeping bag etc)
But once used or tested,it's never quite the same.
Serial whingers. Here's what triggered this thought:
People in the area constantly moaning about a lack of medical services & how hard it is to get a GP appointment.
So, local authorities are planning to build a new GP surgery / medical centre in the area. Cue the whinging about the additional traffic & usual 'not on my doorstep nonsense'
People really are unbelievable.
^^^It's the same with phone masts. Country bumpkins especially are famous for whining about poor reception, yet apply to site a mast near them and all hell breaks loose.

That's an excellent tip, although knowing my luck she would leave the kids with me!
Apparently it’s just her way but the barmaid tonight hasn’t said please or thank you once. I think she’s related to the gaffer which is why she’s still here.
Basic manners were installed in me as a child. I got nothing if I didn’t ask properly. I’ve not drank in my old Manchester local for ages but still post Elaine fridge magnets from my trips away. You just had to love her as she was as nice as they came.

People who bring their kids to pubs, then let them watch cartoons on their phone without wearing headphones.
At 8:30am that’s probably fair, they do like a bit of CBeebies in the morning, anyway, enjoy your Weatherspooons brekkie.
Renewal quote comes in for my wife. Check online and find it cheaper (not as much of a gap since the rules changes but still worth switching for).
I speak to current insurer and say what can you do, no change of terms or anything and they knock about 20% off.
I know they want people to not bother contacting and it's still probably worked in their favour overall despite me using up 20mins of their reps' time, but it is still irritating.
Went to rhe Damned in Oxford last night twats in front of me videoing everything so you couldn't see the band.
Lost the plot and tapped some twat on the shoulder in front of me and told him.

The car insurance renewal rigmarole.

Just TV package and broadband to go.
Had my house insurance (Esure) renewal last week. £253 last year, they want £810 this with no claims or changes... WTAF?
I know the cost of living bollox & all that, but ffs...
All insurers very much rely on people that can't be bothered to phone them up or switch. It's free money.
I almost prefer things like Council Tax where you can't quibble. The price is the price rather than a speculative figure, almost plucked out of the air.
F*ck knows what the car insurance is going to be this year.
