Seemingly trivial things that annoy you

I dunno, we don't have any useless questionnaires here so maybe there's something to it.

That's because you take all your questionnaires so seriously.

No questionnaires at all, in fact.

There's no substitute for a half day course.

Assume you have some form of mandatory CPD to maintain registration. There's plenty out there and not difficult to find useful and interesting stuff worth paying for. The free lunch to listen to someone soft selling carpet are less worthwhile.

Yes, my CPD involves my actual job, rather than how to deal with chemical fires or use a keyboard.

I mean, I've seen how many typos you post, so...

Trying to decide if you two need a room together or a boxing ring. 🤔
The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Yes, the quality of thumb typing on an S20 completely reflects my legal work.

It actually does annoy me that now employers don't have to invest any of their own time into the presentations, they force all the employees to sit through hours of condescending tedium, so that they can tick the box. It would be better if each video session had a evaluation/feedback form, the results of which got fed back to the employer.
FWIW, I'm not against all online H&S and Child Safeguarding and Fire Extinguisher training, but having just sat through the most condescending time-wasting H&S one (the quiz could mostly be done with common sense without any additional training, and certainly does not need to be done every year), and sat through another provider's which at least treated us as vaguely intelligent grown-ups, give me a booklet to read, then the quiz. If there's person stuff needed to reinforce good habits in the workplace, then do it.
It reminds me of TEDx videos, most of which can be taken in from the written transcript in about two minutes, without all the visual guff and h o w s l o w l y t h e y a l l t a l k.

What percentage of hot desks and set up are adjustable to position that matches with focus's post?

All that I've been in. Point is that even with the "training" and facilities nobody maintains that position.

On an entirely different subject, adverts where they force the words into a well-known song / tune and it fails to scan. The worst example is Morrisons with that Mexican folk tune but the other I just saw was a Bold advert using Spandau’s Gold. How many people do they go through with no-one pointing out it doesn’t work?

"Just sold my car by we buy any car" is a cracker as it's a good track.

You watch adverts? How very odd.

You're bound to catch the odd one.

Still watch live TV occasionally and listen to the radio for a few hours a day.

Don't think it's relevant who is presenting stuff; just that they're good at it.

Not sure what's that got to do with it - my point is that not all video training courses are equal (I get particularly peeved by the ones that force you to watch every last tedious second of dozens of clips), and I'd be even happier if they'd give me a transcript, given I can read, and then let me do the test. Not having to do these badly done training things will be one of the advantages of retiring from salaried work.

The whinging about Oasis ticket pricing.

I think the point is that if the salient information can be digested by someone with the reading age of a 10 year old in under 3 minutes, it means that watching a 30 minute online course followed by a test that can be passed without thinking too hard by anyone who doesn't routinely run with scissors, well that's a waste of time and money.

Oasis.

It is mildly interesting to see people discuss how much cheaper tickets were in the era of LPs and CDs, as they scroll through an almost limitless database of music that plays any of it immediately on demand for barely the price of a CD album back in the day per month.

I'm happy that the economics have changed such that artists make their money in another way. I just don't understand people who are now happy to pay a fortune to see a band well past their prime when they didn't do it years ago.

People who missed the bandwagon hoping that Oasis will be as they were at their peak and they can recreate their youth. They won't.

If they were before your time, then you should want to see something more modern and of your time. I never went to see any musical relics from before my time. But then I don't understand why I see kids with Nirvana t-shirts.

2.5 million tried to get tickets when they played Knebworth, so maybe they did.

Sure. Oasis were a bit different and the exception though. I got tickets to everything I wanted to see without much effort.
