From Marketing Week. Disgraceful. 

 

Those Swiss bastards are at it again. Apparently, they have told confectionery giant Mondelēz that it needs to remove the Matterhorn from the company’s Toblerone packaging. The reason? Mondelēz is moving some of the bar’s production to Slovakia to “respond to increased demand worldwide and grow our Toblerone brand for the future”. And that move from Switzerland means it can’t have one of their mountains on its package any more.

 

Toblerone’s brand image won’t be hurt by losing the Matterhorn (marketingweek.com)

choose the fit bird on the platform at warrington choosing the carriage down from you because the driver has decided to edge just that few metres further forward ruining the chances of your future together living life to the full in love and laughs, 

choose shit 4g signal as you flit between merseyside and the grim north, 

choose having to pass the theatre of screams where no-one can hear you bleet twice a day, 

choose coffee grabbers with desperate faces constantly running from train to train with a concerned look on their face looking for seats over eager to alight pushing in desperate to get on first craving a table and window seat over and over, 

choose awkward bastards making a fuss, 

choose cunts speaking on the phone boring business chat letting the world know they have a job where people have to talk to them instead of ignoring them like their wife and kids do at home, 

choose the cold manchester air hitting you as you leave piccadily station,

choose being angry at people for daring to breath,

choose commuting by train. 

None of this was ever mentioned on the Island of Sodor.

They get arsey about Toblerones but they've got no problem with stolen Nazi gold and general global struggles for survival. 

 

They should say fuck you then and start using an image of Ben Nevis

Cold calling telephone cunts, there's no escaping them.

 

At home, its fucking upgrade your broadband, sky tv or double glazing or whatever. If you've got a business the reading from a script cunts are trying to sell you advertising or get you to use their recruitment services. Fuck right off and take me off your list. But they wont.

If nobody engages you immediately when you answer the phone just cancel the call and add the number to your call barring items

Or don't answer it if you don't know who's ringing you.

 

If it's genuine they'll probably leave a message.

I know that's the thing to do but its still interrupting what your doing. They're sneaky bastards now and it often shows a code from Leeds or Leicester or somewhere rather than "number withheld" so you answer out of curiosity. "Hello my name is Malcolm from ABC Digital Marketing, have you........." "No, fuck off!" Well, at least that's what I want to say.

 

Anyway, its just a rant.

Our house doesnt contain a house phone,mobiles all the way. You can screen or block 99% of the calls. This is the way to go. Much cheaper too.

Isn't he in Cornwall though? Not sure they even have a mobile phone mast in those parts. Or if they do, they use it as a Maypole in one of their Pagan festivals.

Scummy parent in my daughter's bastard school. 

 

KidD is in Year 4 and there's been recurrent headlice in her class.  Every week we nitcomb her hair, tie it up for school, whenever we find some we do the right thing: treat her and let the school know and her close friends so their parents can check as well.   Treat and comb until she's clear.  As sure as night follows day within a fortnight there's another fucking nit letter because some dickheads clearly just can't be arsed checking their kids hair once a week. 

 

You can even get the treatments for free now so it's no excuse.  Absolute laziness.  She gets upset when she has them.  Very frustrating when we do the right thing every time to try and be responsible.

That's grim.

 

Having nits is absolutely horrible, imagine letting your kid just go through that without doing something about it.

People in general really are cunts. Just so much cuntish behaviour in the world. Here is one example.

Pregnant Chicago woman killed while trying to pull off robbery: report

March 9, 2023 12:18am 

A 7-months-pregnant Chicago woman was shot and killed by a team of drug dealers she was trying to rob, a report said.

The woman — identified by family as 21-year-old Genesis Escobar — had orchestrated the heist with her boyfriend, a law enforcement source told the Chicago Sun-Times.

 

Escobar climbed into a car parked in the city’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood around 1 p.m., when her intended victims shot her in the shoulder, back and hand, police confirmed.

Her killers then threw her body into the street and dumped a pile of cash on top of Escobar before speeding off, witnesses reported.

Escobar’s unnamed boyfriend — who had been stationed outside the car during the shooting — allegedly grabbed some of the cash and fled, leaving the gasping expectant mother on the ground, the source revealed.

Escobar was rushed to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Escobar’s baby daughter, expected to be born in two months, was also killed in the shooting. 

Escobar — who had been arrested several times in recent years — was on probation for a misdemeanor battery conviction and was under indictment on a felony count of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, court records obtained by the Sun-Times show.

Fucking tradesmen again.

 

Trying to get some decking down. Advertised it on a website and three people responded and came out to measure up. One sent us a quote and has been blanking our messages since. Second didn't send a quote at all. Everyone else declined invites to bid.

 

Wait until cost of living really bites and people aren't getting shit like this done. 

 

Bunch of hand to mouth, city and guilds level 3 in being a University of life old people defrauding lazy cunts.
