XP was the last version of Windows I could use correctly.

For me Windows NT was a peak. XP worked well enough.

Why oh why are people letting off fireworks at 8pm? After they were requested not to do it by the NHS.

They are not chavs though, they are people who ought to know better.

They will be the same retards insisting they don't want to pay more tax to keep the NHS going once this is over.

O.K. Universe, I’m over this f**king shite!!!

In the car with my driver heading home from the airport and not even 5km into the 95km trip and a dickhead rear ended us. I was sitting in the back to social distance as well (facepalm)

Back on our way but my back isn’t very happy. Hit my drivers towbar which saved his car a bit but the other guys doors won’t close.

It isn't a vent as such but this is probably the right place for it.

I didn't get paid this month. They hadn't put my sort code into the system. This may also be a contributing factor as to why they got my tax wrong unless it wasn't just the sort code they omitted from the system.

Either way, without knowing it I went beyond my agreed overdraft limit as all my payment had left my account. The director of HR is on the case though so this should get rectified quickly. She was mortified I have been working for 6 weeks and handed my P45 in 2 weeks prior to still not get paid.

Like I say, not really a vent.. I've done what I can do and any charges will be getting paid for by the company as I did everything I needed to before joining.

Pretty piss poor, but unfortunately typical of a bigger company

We will no longer have Royal Mail Postal Deliveries on a Saturday anymore from tomorrow.

Ignore the comment its during the crisis only, it will be permanent as my postie told me about this 3 months ago, well before the crisis.

We’ve never had Saturday deliveries here in Aus since I moved over nearly 20 yrs ago. NZ did, but then NZ seems to align more with the UK than Aus.

They are talking about reducing mail deliveries to 3 days only here and that was well before the crisis as well.
