That One You health questionnaire annoyed me too, partly by telling me I needed to exercise more and partly for refusing to acknowledge that I don't drink *any* alcohol; instead saying "Well, you seem to drink within the limits, so that's good" with an air of suspicion and an unspoken "at least".

I did the survey out of curiosity, it is indeed a bit creepy and some of the responses are downright strange. I have zero intention of giving them my email address so they can 'stay in touch'.

The news that Victoria Beckham is on the honours list. Not that she actually deserves it for anything she's done but noting that Companies House has filed formal notice to strike off her company, you wonder who checked out their brain in making that decision.

I'm now trying to remover the paper so I can paint the walls without half the plaster coming off with, joke, and that whats grinding my gears today..

I actually think the way they pick people for the honours list is "Are they very famous and always in all the newspapers for wearing stuff and occasionally singing or acting stuff? Yes? That's all that matters."

In the same news feed, almost in the same breath, being told that:
the NHS can't fund care for the elderly and that we're all living a long time
AND we're all unhealthy and will die early.
Which is it? does one problem not partly solve the other?

The actual problem is that we are living longer but often living more unhealthily, so those extra years are not active and enjoyable but filled with pills and NHS visits.

The Beckham's sole existence is to crave awards and honours. Apart from advertising men's toiletries and having his face to promote London 2012, what has David done since retiring from football? As for Victoria, I can't think of a single thing worthy of recognition whatsoever.

Constant requests for feedback. I bought a USB-to-phone cable from 'Lina' at your Eldon Square store - I really can't think of anything to say. I think "I was not so repulsed by Lina that I vomited on sight instantly, nor was I so enamoured that I proposed at first sight" is the kind of template I can at least reuse.
While I'm here: I'd love to leave a massively negatively review of some other staff at your Eldon Square store, but apparently despite the swarms of staff you only employ, there's only 1 or 2 people sufficiently qualified to determine whether a phone that won't charge is a phone problem or a charger problem. And of course to determine that I need to wait 2 hours or make an appointment for next week. Twats.
