The faux "help with gambling" campaign, when the fun stops etc.

Fuck off you patronising fuckers, it's only fun when you win, that's the idea of it. You lose, n it's a massive waste of time and money.

I know someone who works very closely with the ad campaigns for a major bookie. Don’t think I could ever help promote something like that.

HMRC and their self-assessment 'help' service. First, their chat is merely automated so is rubbish. Second, I phone up, get told there's an average of a 30 minute wait (fine), go through my NI number, DoB etc and what the problem is with the automated system... have said system then hang up on me. Then head for twitter, to have them not answer my questions, leading to a lengthy and tedious exchange where I keep asking...

9 months to do a tax return, and wonder why its hard to get through 2 days before the deadline (just kidding NW)

I can accept waiting an eternity, I can accept less cutting me off after I go through everything, and the online chat being a bag o shite!

Fronting is a crime, it seems when insuring, can't have industry struggling can we?

It's the worst system in the world. The UK tax system needs to be totally reformed imo, it's an utter mess.

Gatherings of people mourning or celebrating lost lives by releasing hundreds of plastic balloons full of a rare & finite gas into the sky..... collective twatishness

Sorry, might be being simple n not reading this right, but do you mean the major bookies ad campaigns don't actually help people with gambling issues? (The fun stops etc?)

Nothing more than virtue signalling from what I see.

YT seems to be problematic for me?

It’s promoting a business that relies on people with a problem or addiction for most of its profit.

Got a job offer as a data engineer at an online casino a year or so ago, in the “retention department”. I noped out straight away.

Or the release of those stupid chinese lanterns at vigils, etc. Fucking ridiculous fire and environmental hazard. Why have people got to be seen to be doing something? Just reflect and talk - if you are able!

Corrected it for you

Only other job I’ve turned down on principle was AI at a weapons manufacturer, and in hindsight I feel better about turning down the online casino. At least weapons sometimes keep people safe.

What was interesting was the company name and advert just looked like some boring consultancy or something with vague references to “entertainment”, it wasn’t until the interview they disclosed what they actually did. Wonder if that’s cos they weren’t getting applications.

Artificial insemination?

Yes. I had to wank off rocket launchers. They’re like pandas and won’t do it naturally otherwise.

"Spudman"

Jacket potato seller's sales rocket after 'Spudman' goes viral on TikTok

People have been flocking from as far as Australia to get their hands on jacket potatoes from a takeaway van in Staffordshire.

Probably the same pricks standing outside Aldi waiting for bottles of prime.

Ugh, don’t. Mrs is a fan of that potato guy and will venture all the way to Tamworth for a jacket potato. Fucking madness and I think she’s a c**t for it.
