In my paper today there was a photo of Angela Merkel on holiday with a caption saying how she obviously resented the invasion of her privacy by paparazzi. If that's all you have to say about the photo, how about not printing it in the first place?
Getting asked for i.d. for buying alcohol when I'm almost 30. It's embarrassing, irritating, and you can be a right horror at 17 so it's hardly a compliment like they always patronisingly say once they see my age.

Or even not taking it all and letting her enjoy the holiday.
I'm not sure who she is but assume her job is something performance or sport related unless media have progressed to taking photos of all strangers not just ones from the telly.
You don't know who Angela Merkel is? German Chancellor.

I do now. European politics don't make the new much here. Although she has been mentioned a few times over the last year with the Eurozone crisis.

Oh yes youre ok with baskets. As they are just stacked on the well trod floor and placed there too quite often during a typical shopping visit - any passing dog can only piss on them. I've yet to see a dog take a dump in a basket.
Which reminds me, a friend of mine (honestly - 100% not me)used to work for a brewery as a delivery assistant when younger. They used to find it highly amusing in their pea-sized brains to relieve themselves (peeing not dumping) on crates of bottles of beer now and then. Especially on the beer brands that tended to be drunk straight from the bottle.
Youve been warned.....
There's so much to hate about supermarkets, isn't there. One of the worse things I find is when a group of shoppers think it's perfectly fine to have a natter whilst completely blocking the isles. I want a trolley fitted with a snow plough attachment, so that I can just plough straight through them.

ARGH. THE WORST.
Well...what pissed me off yesterday was my PC going mental, the anti-virus being knocked out (McAfee) and someone spending approximately £1000 on my Barclaycard. In the middle of having a lovely few days and being in a fairly good mood throughout...someone bought some furniture in the UK and something else in Luxembourg courtesy of MY MONEY!!
McAfee totally died and I pay for the proper one too! I tried to redownload and reinstall, but the installer told me my PC was too infected to even install the file...so "Learn more". I did, indeed, "Lean more" and found McAfee wanted me to buy yet another package for around £60 in order to fix the infections before it could reinstall the anti-virus.
So I decided to "F**k that!" and install AVG instead. I used to use it a lot years ago, but McAfee had been okay since buying a new PC.
Anyway...still slightly peeved.
I wonder what the furniture was like.
I won't go supermarket shopping with my wife because of this.
She gently bumps the blocking people with her trolley and then says 'oh sorry' They move out of the way but I have to walk past feeling sheepish.
@Joyce.
I have always wondered how people get away with online fraud - ie buying things with someone else's card. Especially in this case where it's furniture.
Unless they 'pay and collect' the items have to be delivered to an address. Surely that gives the game away.
Unless the delivery address is The High Street - dodgy bloke on the corner. 
A friend of mine had his card hacked online and they played poker with it. Ironically, they won over £3000. He was not allowed to take the winnings though.
