[usually because the knife is warm, in my experience. Also it's not buttery enough.]

'insert rows above' in a spreadsheet. Either you only get one row, or if you've chosen to insert multiple rows, it inserts them not above the row you have clicked on.

I expect there is a way to get them where you want them, but it will be too fussy by far.

Non apologies. We ordered something for next day delivery- confirmation email stated “your order will be delivered tomorrow”. When it didn’t arrive and we followed up, they told us their couriers don’t deliver on bank holidays and they were “sorry that you didn’t anticipate that”, also sorry that I was “confused” by the email saying it would arrive the next day. Grr.

One company I used in February gave a delivery date as 'on or around.' What's that supposed to mean? Have I got to stay in all day for a day either way?

The company in question are so bad that I have had about seven of these 'on or around' dates - all of which have come and gone. They then have the nerve to use Covid-19 as an excuse and have not addressed any of my correspondence.

Have resorted to file a Chargeback claim form against them but that could take another year. Just glad that my workplace reimbursed my costs already.

Also getting sick of COVID 19 being a stock excuse for poor service

My daughter loves these guys for their tick shots and stereotype videos on YouTube. They have just released a song called 'Pet Peeves' - a lot of which I can probably empathise with.

Pah! Doesn't seem to work!

Anyway, they're Dude Perfect and the song is called Pet Peeves.

Pointless comparison stats.

Current case in point - Lions rugby team announcement:

Lions Captain v South Africa Captain
Age: 35 v 29
Caps: 157 v 50

and then, the 'piece de resistance'...

World Cups won: 0 v 1

(I was really confused for a second and thought 'hang on, is it not AWJ then?' until I remembered his birthday is in September)
