TITCH overly and those who use this appalling word*.
I've no objection to new words; they become necessary as existing vocabulary is found insufficient, but I have yet to see "overly" used when "over", "excessive" or just occasionally "overtly" would not be better, let alone adequate. It isn't simply that I don't consider it a word; we're lumbered, but it's a lazy, sloppy, ill-defined word.
And while I'm posting this as a Shipmate, remember that I'm a Host too.
*Nothing personal, this is the latest example of way too many, by literate posters too.

OK, it isn't new, but its use has increased and inclusion in the OED is no indication of merit. ![[Mad]](angryfire.gif)

TICTH more ebay idiots...
Have just sold a couple of things over the weekend. I take great pains to describe things accurately, completely and concisely on my listings as (i) it's only fair to do this and (ii) it helps me to sell the stuff.
Why then, do I need to put up with so many idiots?
My listing says that I'll post the item, or you can pick it up from my home or office (suburbs specified in the listing), so why do I get an email that says "can I pick it up from you if I win it, and where from?" Read the listing idiot...
I'm selling something brand new, in the original packaging, it still has the plastic wrap on it, It says that in the listing. There is a photo on the listing showing the original packaging and the plastic wrap, so I get an email asking "does the item work?" It's new, in the packaging. Of course it works you idiot...
The "does it work" idiot then emails and says "I'm just in town for today so can I make you an offer and pick it up from you before I go home?" No you can't, idiot. That's against the ebay rules, so that's why I ignored your bloody email... (I have had many emails like this. I used to politely go back and tell the person that they were welcome to submit a bid. They never do, not once, ever, not even when the item sells for less than they offered, or doesn't even sell at all. Idiots...)
Then the idiot that wins the item emails and says "can I pick it up tonight at 10pm? I know that's late but I have a busy week coming up." Sure, that's fine I reply, I'm always up late (and anybody that wants to come to my house and take junk away is always welcome). I sign off the email with my name, address and phone numbers. "Great, I'll come over now. What's your address?" Read the email, idiot...
One of the classics from years ago was an item I listed, marked "post to Australia only". I received an email "would you post the item to Norway". Not unless Norway has just moved to bloody Australia. Idiot...

TICTH South Wales Valleys Emergency Services response times. This morning (link here) a train hit a landslide and was derailed. The accident happened to the train I was waiting to catch at about 06:20 this morning. At 06:20, I was stood on Bargoed station platform waiting for that train.
At 06:40, the signalman informed the waiting crowd that there would be no train down from Rhymney and that the first train for Cardiff would be coming from Cardiff at 07:01. He also told us that the train we were waiting for had "hit a tree".
By the time my train left at 07:02, there was no sign of Emergency Services. I saw Emergency vehicles heading to the scene at 07:20, by which time I was already 5 miles away in Ystrad Mynach.
As a former first aider, I know about the Golden Hour. By the looks of it, the Emergency Services missed that hour this morning.
And they tell us that Wales is not a second class nation ...

TICTH the half witted moron in pay section who managed to fuck up my pay this month so I'm £1000 short. I'm sure he or she doesn't notice a grand coming of his wages but it gives me certain problems such as paying my fucking mortgage and petrol to get to work.
About 18 months ago I moved to a contract where I'd get the same amount of money every month (before that it was complicated depending on what weekends and shifts I worked). In that 18 months I have never had the same amount of pay at all. It's not complicated - click the button that pays me the damn money.

TICTH the withdrawal of funding for local community projects by the government, in the name of 'austerity'. Just as we were really getting something established, we've had to make our community worker redundant, for want of about £16000 per year.
Here's hoping that this will open up new ways of doing things, but still - more pressure on services which are really making a difference in the local community. More pressure on people who are stretched.
Grrrr. If any of the big mega-churches out there fancy sending us the money instead of spending it on new plush chairs or a giant statue of Jesus, that'd also be fine.

TICTH puncture repair kits in new-ish cars, instead of a spare tire. A friend of mine drove over something really nasty that punctured the tire twice, so the kit wouldn't have had enough glue for two holes anyway, and is she expected to carry a tire compressor everywhere she goes?
If I hadn't been able to run her home (20 min away, no garage anywhere within miles) she'd have been stranded in the middle of nowhere with a dead car and two twin toddlers.

TCITH the two work colleagues who didn't even bother to answer my email telling them that I had to drop out of a meeting due to a hospital appointment that will take me out of the office all day, but then both answered my subsequent email telling them that I'd rearranged the appointment and was therefore able to chair the meeting after all. Thanks a bunch for your concern, you emotionally unintelligent morons. I wasn't expecting flowers and a card, but some acknowledgement would be nice. I'm sure this is 'brilliant' for you because now I'm back to do the work and you don't have to step up. By the way, this is a voluntary post and your responses will be taken into consideration the next time I review whether I want to carry on with it.

The fact that despite pay section promising me that my missing thousand quid would be in the bank in three working days it isn't and when I phone to raise this issue they tell me they'll give me £400 tomorrow. Yes thankyou and the rest. Apparently they hadn't noticed, despite being told by both me and my union rep that they had wrongly put me down as getting nil pay for ten bloody days.

Spam. Here we go again. The first lot started to trickle through into a webmail account at around 9pm and they'll continue to pile up until tomorrow morning. Hotels, insurance, cruises, ppi claims, poker. Over and over again, day after day. I mark them as spam and it makes no difference. And my webmail account is now pretty much doomed.
Why do spammers waste so much of their time showering the world with emails which are ungratefully received by almost everybody and deleted without reading?

Some years ago I heard that about three percent of men who receive spam mail for Viagra respond. If someone sends out ten million spam letters for Viagra, they will receive 300,000 responses. Apparently sending out ten million e-mails with the same text is not expensive or time-consuming.

TICTH the people who flash their headlights to let me (and other drivers) know there's a speed camera van further up the road.
First off, if you were paying any attention you'd see that I was traveling slow enough to not require the warning. Unlike you my adherence to the speed limit isn't solely based on whether I think I might get caught. Although I do like the idea of randomly flashing my headlights at people when there isn't a speed camera around, just to get them to slow down.
Secondly, the reason there's a speed camera van on the main road through this suburb so often is because people speed on its broad, sweeping bends all the time and it's fucking dangerous. Maybe all 3 of you headlight-flashers were just passing through the suburb, but I live here. And maybe you didn't notice the 2 roadside crosses right about where you were signalling me, but I drive past them most days and I know they're there because an idiotic show-off thought he could do the broad, sweeping bends at about 100 km/h instead of the mandated 60 km/h and killed his passengers in the process. I also know they weren't the first to die on this road.
So you know why I don't appreciate your flashes and won't return the 'service' for anyone? Because I fucking well want speeding drivers to get caught. I want them to not know in advance the van is there. I want them to get hit in the hip pocket and to lose points on their licence, in the faint hope that they'll go around the bends a bit slower next time and I'll be safer and maybe won't have to hear the sound of squealing tyres in the distance quite so often.
You can take your headlights and fuck off.

TICTH the dysfunctional dismembered pathetic bloody apology for a national rail system we have in the UK. I ordered a ticket online, given the options of either receiving it by express delivery for an additional £6 (£6!!!), or collecting it from an automatic machine at the station.
However, the station I'm travelling from (despite being served by long distance trains to many destinations) does not have an automatic machine. Not one! The nearest is at the city centre terminus 5 miles away.
As it happens, no big problem since I have a senior travel pass so don't have to pay to get there, and I was in town anyway yesterday. But at that station they have (a pathetic) two machines run by one train company, and two by another. Neither of them the train company that I'm travelling with and with whom I've booked my ticket. No indication online whether either or both of these would issue my ticket. The first company's machine disclaimed all knowledge of me. Fortunately the second company must be on speaking terms with my company because their machine recognised my booking and issued a ticket.
But imagine I was a foreign visitor unaccustomed to the vagaries of the privatised excuse for a 'rail network'. Or a habitual car user who thought s/he would give the train a go for a change. Or someone prevented by time, circumstance or disability from making a detour to obtain a ticket, or who simply couldn't be arsed or see why they should fork out an extra several quid just to collect it.
Every single tinpot rural station in France has a fully functioning and fully computerised machine that will issue tickets to anywhere in the country. Or you can dispense with the need for a printed ticket and just download a receipt and reference number onto your mobile phone.
But then France has had a revolution and suffers under the iron hand of a socialist president. We glory in having choice: the fucking choice of which hospital to die of neglect in, or which local authority to be deprived of basic services under. Even that is denied to rail passengers who can only chose where (and sometimes when) to travel, not which gang of sharks is going to rip you off for the privilege and deny you even the convenience of being able to prove that you have paid. Bet your life that if all the machines had failed and I got on the train without a ticket I'd be hit with a ludicrously disproportionate fine.

TICTH . Inacurate 5 day weather forecasts . The week before last was given as all wet . It was 40% accurate , in other words asumming the complete opposite would have been nearer.
The following week was the other way round . Forecasters gave mainly dry and it turned out mainly wet .
If you guys don't really know what the weather's gonna do just say so , that would be far more help.

If you guys don't really know what the weather's gonna do just say so , that would be far more help.
You live in the west of England. If you haven't the wit to take a waterproof coat with you on a dry day you deserve to get get drenched.
(If, OTOH, it's pissing down already, you can make a choice)

TICTH members of my congregation who use the "open" portion of Prayers of the People to air out their own personal grievances with the congregation.
And I consign to Heck (because she did mean well) the person who insisted on processing it with me even after I told her that I didn't want to talk about it.

TICTH people who ring up the weather bureau and say things like "I'm booking my wedding for April next year, do you know if it's going to rain on the 12th?" and get upset with the bureau's response.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

WWF style smackdown of my computer:
Monitor timing out all day. Computer refusing to start up all weekend, at various times. Google Chrome acting like a whiny little bitch. Huge amateurish slog through a variety of maintenance issues. Computer doing everything apart from sending La Cosa Nostra over to my house to whack me before I could finish my homework. And guess what. TWO ESSAYS IN THE BAG, MOTHERFUCKER! ONE OF THEM IN REALLY BAD SPANISH! EAT ME, YOU STUPID PIECE OF CRAP DELL! HA!

I cannot expect people to believe “
