    The rush to a cashless and paperless society.
    Seems it’s in the banks interest to go cashless so they can monitor all our transactions and sell information on, we also spend more if we pay by card or phone. I like my notes and coins, but they are disappearing. Will I remember my passwords as the brain cells die and what then - they have my money and I can’t find it.

    This paperless business drives me nuts. My emails now are linked so if somebody gets a meeting invite with all the papers and details on it and replies to say they can’t go, all my papers disappear onto the back of their email. Trying to find meeting papers is then a nightmare after ten folk have done the same. Then I open the papers and can’t write my comments on them so either I print them off or forget it? I think that’s the real plan let’s just forget all we decided last time as we haven’t done the actions and don’t want to do so.

    These mobile phone contracts also confuse does anyone send 5000 texts a month and if so what else do they do. Is there time to go to the toilet and eat? I might manage 10 or even 20 a month!

    I'd also add that if they had not been so called prominent people and general working class it would have also been different.

    Don't get me wrong I feel their pain for the loss of their child be it their fault or not, but thousands of folk lose their loved one's every year for one thing or another and go through their pain on their own without generous amounts of man work and cash to help them find them.

    Where else in the world can you become an MP and sign into a building getting paid £300 for the privilege of having a kip

    I would imagine if the McCanns had been black and the police had failed to find their child, it would have been blamed on institutional racism in the Constabulary and yet another National Inquiry would have been instigated.

    Another gripe, these new E Passports, back to Manchester yesterday and once again mine didn't work and I had to go to have it checked manually. I've never got it to allow me through yet, ever, sometimes a nice young assistant has got me through but it never works for me. Any one else have a problem with these ?

    Not me as I've seen you waiting at the stop and driven past you as I cannot be bothered wasting time with senile phuckers trying to get a free ride

    Used to have a lot of trouble with those Passport machines Sinkov, one time the gates opened, I picked up my bag and it closed on me before I could get through.
