Permanently baffled by the 21st century

Talk about permanently baffled by 21st century. Yesterday I parked on a single yellow line (it was a Sunday) outside the Controlled Parking Zone around WHL only to discover on getting back from the match my car had been stolen. Except when I phoned the police they told me it had been removed by Haringey Council.

Me and my son had looked around for signage about parking restrictions on arrival and could find none. It wasn't until after we got back when the police had informed us the zone has recently been extended that we went hunting and found a newly erected notice high up and facing in the opposite direction from where we'd come fully 100 yards down the road.

Long story short my son then used his iphone to order a Uber and get us to the compound. I never carry credit cards or my driving licence with me to games in case of pickpockets so had to phone home to get my wife to photo my licence and passport and send it down the phone as proof of ID. My son then had to use his credit card to pay the £265 to get the car released, otherwise it would have meant a three hour journey home by public transport last night and then back next day to collect it plus an extra £40.

What do you reckon? Do I have a cat in hell's chances of getting even a partial refund? Is it worth a try?

More chance of Janssen scoring a hat-trick against Chelsea in the semi...

The world has turned into something it was never made for.

I read alot of history books and when you look at the world we live in today the landscape of what we do, how we do it and what we accept as the norm has a huge bearing on the planet and the way the world if evolving.
 
The bloody media have done nothing else but drone on and take photographs of every second of the last week!

We've had these discussions before. It's the upskirt bit you're not allowed to do, the funeral just makes it worse.

Lol hashtag funny.

I hate the whole fake sincerity. I would not have wished the guy dead but it's just too much.

Hate being at the football and being forced to clap and not pick your nose. I know picking your nose should not be done at any time but knowing the cameras might pick me out picking my nose and then it would go viral as the kids say.

It is the knowing that for a whole minute I can not pick my nose that is what also fcuks me off. When I had an MRI scan I had 40 minutes of knowing I could not and it was fudging torture. Did not pick my nose when I got off it was the knowing I could not that bothered me.

So at a game later in the season when geoff the groundsman at welling United dies and we have to stand up and clap and I can't pick my nose for a minute. Just know the will be a bloke in the stand swearing under his breath.

Only works if it's open casket. And Chich is no longer allowed to attend if it's open casket, for other reasons.

What's going on.

Society is changing so fast before my eyes and I just don't understand it.

This whole Leicester thing has gotten a bit creepy and forced if you ask me.

People are afraid to be seen as not caring about this sort of thing, due to facebook etc. where all opinions and people's lives in general are documented for all to see. It's the same with poppies now. It's become a world full of grief junkies. People can't just quietly care about something.

I don't have social media, I don't wear poppies either. If people wear them and actually care about fallen soldiers, then fair enough. But all these people infront of a tv camera too scared to be seen not wearing one can p1ss off.

Then again, lots of people went mental when Princess Di died, so the British have always had our fair share of weird, stupid qunts. Sort of people who don't visit their great aunt in a home, who just stares out of the window waiting to die, but go all teary when some royal who wouldn't give them the time of day croaks.
