With the level of iQ being displayed by drivers down here, it's only a matter of time.

I will be very happy to park the car on the drive next year and be commuting on the bike again.

It must be about the fulfilment process.
If they rolled it, maybe it would be more expensive to produce.

I'm grinding my own gears at the moment.
I've gone back to eating badly. Maybe I've put on half a stone Crying or Very sad
But only momentarily!

I just figure while I have fallen off the wagon, I might as well have some of those things that I've been missing.
Then I can go back to not-eating them again.

I can stop any time, you know.
Nearly done now.

Had 5-minute noodles today, and also got Dominos' pizza out of my system as well, earlier this week
There's just the matter of the Fray Bentos pie Shifty
Perhaps with mash ...
Mmmm, pies. I've missed them.

At first I was just commiserating with myself for [I can't remember what Thinking ]
But now its tipped over into celebrating about the new job Rolling Eyes

So I really must stop this nonsense very soon.

But I will, I will ... too many new outfits to buy, I've caught a bit of a shopping bug in my old age Laughing

I find the best way to avoid eating too much is to not have enough money to. So if you send me all your money, I'll shoulder the burden of your suffering, and you can keep the pounds off! Deal? Very Happy Laughing

You're absolutely right.
Perhaps I should have it taken off me before it gets into my bank, and put somewhere I can't get my hands on it Laughing

The Bank of Chickenystripgeezer, sounds legit.

If you got that notification late then what's probably happened is the driver got home and realised they missed a few jobs and just quickly marked them off as not in.

How is it that Youtube algorithms can't detect obvious scammers and thieves, yet it can shadowban me within milliseconds for posting sage and well-informed (seriously, I wasn't trolling) advice intended to help depressed people see the bigger picture, in a comment? I mean, it was just a comment to say a particular tech development isn't the end of the world but rather an opportunity for those able to see the bigger picture and ride the tiger, develop something, win and profit? It annoys me because I know what I'm talking about, on the subject about which I was trying to remark.

I'd love another 330ci.

I have highlighted the problem.
I do not want to live in a world designed by geeks and autistic computer weirdos.

What grinds my gears more and more lately is the inappropriate use of superlatives in language. Often used as clickbait it seems, but now apparently firmly established in everyday language use.

Thinking I think there might be some incredibly amazing jokes incoming...

Like (the overuse of it in a sentence).

It's a gamechanger.

Taking it to the next level.

Gave it 110%

It comes down to poor knowledge of language I think. Most things can be described in the English language if you only know it well enough, learn the vocabulary well enough. I actually enjoy trying to make best use of it. It isn't pretentious, it's what the words are there for. There is never a time to stop learning it.

As to lefties constantly trying to corrupt it, they can fuck right off! Laughing

If we're talking about grinded gears caused by language, what's with seller saying "needs gone" instead of "needs to be gone" have the millennials cancelled infinity now?
