They've moved it, into where you read the video information.

Standard software/internet operating procedure. Wait until it's working perfectly and everyone knows how to use it. Then change it for no logical reason in ways to piss off the maximum number of users.

People who ‘just thought they’d call round and see you’.

 

Even those turning up at my house having previously phoned, or keeping a prearranged appointment, make me anxious.
 

Come to think of it, so do those arriving who I specifically invited so imagine the horror of seeing someone I know trundling down the garden path with a gormless smile on their faces that I wasn’t expecting and therefore hadn’t mentally prepared for. 
 

It’s almost always the wife’s family as well, usually when she’s out so I have to make the thirty seconds small talk I have at my disposal last thirty minutes. Luckily our kettle takes ages to boil so I can hide in the kitchen for ten minutes on the pretext of making them a cup of tea. 
 

I do know this is just my defected personality, that I’d probably miss these people ‘dropping in’ if they stopped and that many others would love to have visitors over, invited or not. 
 

They still annoy the shit out of me though...

Yeah it completely fucks up my day that. I like time to plan and process things, none of this spontaneous shit. I wouldn't dream of turning up at someone's house unplanned.

I wouldn’t either. I’m sure the wife secretly arranges these visits with her mother, sister, niece, nephew, childhood friend, old lady she met in the street etc. for times she knows she’ll be out and I’ll be sat on the sofa wearing pyjamas in the middle of the day just to mess with my head. 
 

I’ve got a friend who sometimes calls round whilst walking his dog. Although I’ve known him for thirty years, ninety percent of our face to face interactions involve neutral venues and alcohol. Trying to communicate whilst sober, taken off guard by his unannounced visit and on my home patch is unnatural and stresses me out. 
 

When I walk our dog past his house I never call in. He’s even knocked on his window a couple of times but I just wave and walk on by.

The Dutch wouldn't let you in the house if you just turned up unannounced. It would be made quite clear that it was your fault as well. Appointment only. 

 

Just tell them that you are busy and never to do this without arrangement ever again. Put on a heavy comedy Dutch accent for full effect. Then shut the door in their face.

Hmm. Your neighbour has sex parties and invites you round.

 

Then, your friends start to turn up unannounced while your wife is out...

It would appear that for several years that apart from the accent I must have been self identifying as Dutch.

My dad does stuff like that. Example, last week I text him at around 10 am asking if we could call to his house about lunch time. Never heard anything back so we went out after lunch. Get a text from him about 15 minutes later saying he's at my house, then loads of arsing about ensued trying to give him directions to where we were. He never got there. Ridiculous. 

 

He also has weird double standards with these things. If I did that, he'd be acting like I was mental - "why did you not text", etc. Also, he sometimes turns up up to an hour after the time he says, with no explanation, but if I turned up at his house even 10 minutes late, he'd be quick enough to point it out. 

 

Oddball.

Why do they not put smoked sausage next to the sausages at the supermarket? I can never fucking find it, does my head in.

Because one is cooked and the other isn't and the two are kept separate in supermarkets?

They might as well be. I gave up the other night & bought Cumberland sausages instead. Our kids refused to eat their tea last night as a result.

The way some people on the telly, that Dan Snow for example don't say sixth properly.

They say sickth instead of sicksth. It's like a concerted effort to change the pronunciation.

I was watching a WW2 documentary once , and the presenter, might have been Dan Snow, called King George the sixth, King George the sick.

Irritating.
