Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Apparantly he wasn't 16, and it's amazing what these bank robbers will ask you to do for a shot of their iphones! outrageous.

Nevermind, son. You're safe now. Did you have a "special friend" inside then?

They've killed my favourite Radio Station. :(

I really liked Galaxy FM, it was a bit r'n'b'y, but I could live with that, because it played poppy dance which I liked. It also had alright presenters. Its been replaced now, with Capital FM...which means they evidently only play urban music now, and its full of cockney geezers telling me to luvaduck. Not happy. Capital killed Beat 106 a few years back, and now they're seemingly intent on doing the same to its successor. Saddened. I've switched back to Radio 3 for now, but where does someone who wants to listen to mainstream dance in the car go?

This may seem odd, but, if I hear a song on the radio which I like and I put it on my iPod I won't listen to it when it comes on. I'll just go onto the next song. I had roughly 450 songs on my old iPod and I only really listened to about 100 all the time on it even If I still like the other 350 on it.

Edit: I know it's not a pttgoyn but it was just when woodside mentioned iPods there.

does your ipod allow for a 'most listened too' playlist? this should cut out the dross.

edit: should say my iphone allows this. and this was happening to me but it was including podcasts/itunes u lectures on architecture in its shuffle through my library that made me resort to figuring this out.

And yet you didn't know that a rise from 17.5 to 20 is a 14.28% rise?

That's basic first-year stuff.

Careful - he adds you to his Death Pool List if you upset him.

A wee bit more than petty thing in my opinion but I shall vent my anger anyway.

My Mrs' gran was burgled on Thursday(They chapped the door and once she answered they knocked her to the ground and went for as much cash as they could find). She's 87 with vascular dementia. Turns out it is not the first time she has been done. We thought we had struck lucky in catching the c**t-rags that had done it as my mum's neighbour's friend had over heard a group talking to someone about how the "done an old lady in (name of street)" My mum's neighbour found out about my wife's gran, spoke to her friend again and confirmed the street name etc and it was a match. My mum's neighbour phoned my wife immediately to tell her. This witness was more than willing to make an annoymous call to the police to say what she had heard. The witness has now been told by my mum's neighbour that we know about what she has heard and is no longer willing to come forward even in an annonymous capacity.

While my wife's gran is getting poorly with the vascular dementia she still has enough wits about her to realise what has happened and is living in complete fear. She has been targetted before as she had previously told her son that "there were men in the house" which he just put up to her not remembering people's names/neighbours etc. She is still with it enough to tell the police it was the same guys that done it this time as the previous.

I know that if this call was made that it doesn't mean that we would definately catch those responsible. But without the call, there's next to no chance of ever catching them.

my father-in-law has fitted a security camera with monitor at the door but she's not going near the door out of fear and is pretty much a prisoner in her own home. We're hoping now that his is going to force the social's hand a bit more into evaluating her for a care home. They previously (3 months ago) said she was fine. This despite her twice being given a police escort home from Tesco as she was wondering round looking confused and the other time she was standing at a bus stop for nearly 2 hours. Both these times she left the house before my brother in law went to collect her to take her shopping. That's one thing we no longer have to worry about seeing as she's terrified to go near her door.

That's horrible mate, really horrible.

Sorry but I'm not sure that I understood though. What's the reason that the witness isn't going to the Police? Is there no way that she would be willing to give you their names and at least you know who they are, if you know what I mean.
