Stupid little things that bug you

I go every day for the same drink medium Mocha to stay in,sometime the Mrs comes too, but unlike me doesn’t make a special daily effort.
The secret is to buy the £60 gift vouchers when offers are available on the App which give £75 of drinks . Maximum of 5 per customer so between us we buy £600 worth of vouchers at a time and the offer is usually on twice a year.
Every 10 hot drinks ( it used to be 8 ) you buy, you get a freebie hot drink of your choice. So with the two lots of discounts, ie the gift vouchers and the 1-10 offer a £4 cup becomes £2.80
Unlike a lot of coffee shops where you can be waiting ages and it comes in a little farty cup, with Costa,it’s exactly the same drink each time so you know what you are getting and a choice of 3 sizes.
For me , order, be served, drink and be out within 10 minutes is what I am after.

1200 a year on coffee?, and your post suggests you think you are getting some kind of bargain ?

I was thinking about this the other day! While flipping through the channels, I briefly paused on GB News for a few seconds, mainly because Stephen Dixon's broad accent caught my attention. I don't recall him speaking like that on Sky News—or perhaps he always did, and I just never noticed?

There's a Cornish woman who tries far too hard to prove to everyone she's Cornish.

So if some one says they drink the equivalent 1/2 a pint of beer per day would you think that is excessive. Oh if you care to visit you will find they sell many other things than 1 drink so on special occasions I may use part of the vouchers for other products. Oh and don’t forget whilst you have your calculator to hand there are often two of us or even more if we are in company.

You go through all of that for a cup of coffee. World's gone mad.

Now if every day I was to wake up in the morning and think today’s and every days mission is to seek out a cup of Mocha, at all costs then I would agree with you. Most days I am out and about in any case, the drink is the equivalent of a biscuit or a small cake and it is the only time in the day I drink a coffee based product. The internet and its Apps are a wonderful thing and it takes about 2 minutes to organise every 6 months so I would hardly say it has taken over my life like those who crave alcohol or cigarettes. Just a different take on things not an addiction.

So there you are at a main railway station.Just as
You are on the last minute to catch the train you want.
You check the departure screen to locate the correct platform and if the train is running on time.
Just as you are getting to the required point on the screen, it moves onto another page thus taking away the relevant information.
Then you have the choice, gamble that it will leave from the booked platform, or wait for the page to return after it has scrolled through a couple of pages of trains leaving in the distant future and some other irrelevant blurb, thereby running the risk of missing the train you want.

Trainline. Tell you the platform your train is departing from even if you don’t book it with them.

Serves you right for starting speech with 'so'
 
The missus watching the beds feeding from our bedroom window (bungalow). Everywhere is white with the hardness frost we have in a few years. Everywhere is frozen solid.
I have already been out to fed the birds.

Missus ' is it cold out there ' ?
Me ' no it's bloody baking ' !

Would the yanks give two fucks about us. NO.

In Mozambique, before Christmas, nearly 100 people died in a cyclone . It was a footnote on BBC News.

We've become the 51st State

Upwards of 700,000 people died in the Ethiopian War of 2020-2022. I don’t ever remember it ever making it to BBC News as a story, yet they’d give us daily updates on the Johnny Depp and whatsername court case or constant ‘What Trump Said Today’ nonsense.
