😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 2)

Can’t you get it through a library?

That’s a big building full of books.

With a spinster stopping you getting what you want.

Corrected for you.

Hmmm…I’ve seen books before but never read one…Donald J. Trump.
Could you get the 6 figure number for me? It must be in one of those book things.

Thames Water boss defends early ÂŁ195,000 bonus in evidence to MPs

Chris Weston, chief executive at Thames Water, has defended his decision to accept a ÂŁ195,000 bonus just three months into the job last year.

Giving evidence to the Commons environment committee, where he was asked if it was wise to accept such a big bonus so soon after her started, Weston replied:

I think in the first three months I did make a difference.

I started to put in place the new organisational structure, I started to give people confidence and reassurance about how proud they could be of the job they did and what we were setting out to do. And that helped stabilise the company and I think that was important.

What an arrogant, entitled fucker this guy is. An absolutely disgraceful state of affairs, rivers full of shit, infrastructure falling to pieces and this guy gets a huge bonus after just three months in the job. The water utilities should be taken into public ownership immediately, compensation paid only in cases of proven need.

One day UK will wake up and see how they have taken the piss out of you for the oast 50+ years

How else would you like them to dry the hops?

its 20% owned by the UK University pension fund and 30% by the Ontario pension fund. The rest is own by big intuitionals that are investing on behalf of pension funds

So in a way it already is in public ownership

The real issue is Macquerie rinsed it, loaded it with debt and then found a load of gullible pension fund managers to buy the carcass knowing that they would never get the same levels of returns

And Macquerie control Southern Water.

Which is why we have taken a big fat one up the arse in the latest round of price increases

Student finance support application process. Youngest is off to Uni this September so “supporting” her application for maintenance cash. Much more involved than when the eldest went off 7 years ago. Tried the online form - no good - doesn’t recognise any email or password, not that i ever remember creating an account when we did the eldest’s application.
You need to call us.
Call them.
Apparently they have created an account for me, based upon my application for a student loan from 1991! :laughing:
NI number
Pass!
DOB
Pass!
Security questions.
Hang on i didn’t create the account

Address and postcode
Current address provided.

Parents address provided

FFS, um, first house at Poly provided
Wrong - you only get three chances. You are now locked out of an account you didn’t create!
FFS, cunts!!

Now a laborious process of form filling and proving who i am so they can take an extra 3 weeks to decide who i am. Fuckers!

Having jumped through hoops.
Checked with several web sites including the Government portal who said yes, I spplied to registerto vote.
Form done computer said yes.
Went to Municipality office as online wasn’t happening.
No. Cannot vote.

We walk out.
Lady vomes running out the office.

HMRC - absolute twats. We changed our PAYE reference at work - HRMC assured us that it would be staightforward

They lied

They now believe that everyone has two jobs and have issued tax codes accordingly- I am now on a D code which means everything is taxed at 45%

Can you get anyone to respond , can you fuck up to 2 hours on hold. This is people’s wages they are fucking with

I have told accounts to ignore the new codes. If HMRC get the hump they can send round an inspector so they can fix their shit show or march me off to a tribunal where I can call them cunts on the record

Anyone like to see this “stunning” piece of art?

Course you do. :sunglasses::+1:

FFS. :unamused:

What’s it called…“Accident in Paint Factory”??
