There's lots of gripes on the site, but sometimes it's good to have a moan about everything in general and nothing in particular.

"More households turning to debt to pay for essentials, survey shows"

Self inflicted debt caused by presumptious people trying to live a life that they cannot support, but isn't that the snob ridden way of the British people. No wonder there is so much mental illness, suicides, marrige breakups, anger, distress. When will people learn to live their lives in accordance to their ability and not fall into the want,want,want trap.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt's Autumn Statement. The Last ditch Tory bribery attempt to save their rotten skins. An attempt to keep the rich richer and the rest of the little people under their thumbs and control.

UK Government cabinet reshuffle, just moving the shit around the table to a different seat. The Tories, just got to love the way these incompetent Twats are able to survive with their snouts in the trough.

The UK. A country led by donkies, and inhabitated by a split society. The UK is now akin to the "Winkywankybird" flying in ever decreasing circles until it disappears up its own arse. Not long left to go before the big bust-up.

"UK economy flatlines in third quarter amid high interest rates"

As good as a recession, only fake Government figures to avoid the real facts, The UK is in deep financial trouble.

Lotus cars sponser Norwich City footbal club. Now there's a great piece of corperate thinking, sponsering a club that's been a failure for many years. or, perhaps Lotus management is as thick as Norwich city owners?

House price falls expected into new year, Halifax says, and beyond.

The great house/property price correction has begun. The worlds financial crisis was always going to see the UK's false house valuations tumble. Estate agents are now at risk of extinction as the markets finally find their true realistic value.

I hate car insurance companies. I've sold my old car and got something smaller and cheaper to run. My old car was 23 years old and had issues with abs, sensors and rust. My old car was a Mercedes CLK 55 AMG. a 5.4 V8 pushing out around 350 horsepower, 60 in 5 seconds, insurance £340. New car, Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 SE, insurance quote £580. WTF. I shopped around and got a quote for £353. Also, what's your occupation got to do with driving?. They always say things like working as a librarian is seen as a low risk job. You could work in a library and still drive like a lunatic. Also marital status pisses me off. If you're married, you're a more sensible driver. Yeah right. The good thing about being single and driving is no distractions. No screaming kids or nagging wife putting you off your driving. Insurance should go on the individual and their driving record. My last claim was 33 years ago and I'm seen as a bad driver because I'm not married and don't work in one of their "low risk" jobs. They know you need insurance so they charge whatever they like.

Met Office is useless. In my area, their site shows cloud with 10% chance of rain. It's pouring down with thunder and lightning at the moment.

Asda. Forcing people to use self-service tills.
I was in Asda a couple of months ago, at around 10:45pm. All the manned tills were closed, leaving only the self-service tills open. When I asked why, I was told that they close the tills at 10:pm. OK. I thought. I'll make sure I get into Asda before 10:00pm...
Yesterday. I went to Asda. The time was 9:15pm. Great, I thought. No messing around with the silly self-service, crap... HA! How wrong could I be. All the tills were closed, forcing customers to use the self service option... I had a word with some kind of supervisor, who got quite shirty with me, because I had the temerity to complain... Well. STUFF YOU ASDA!!! My money will be going to other supermarkets, from now on... If you want me to scan and pack my own bags, then you better put me on the payroll!!!
