Minor rant thread 2019

[Lumpy]

I’ve tried five times to upload a pic from both my pad and phone. Nope can’t do it. I know advice has been given but I’m thick.

Brexit ..... not leave, not remain but the absolute shambles and chaotic backstabbing in Westminster.

Elected by the people, for the people - yeah right!

Just a reminder - this is a Politics-free forum. No more comments please. The next one will be deleted.

[Lardman]

Mast cell tumours, and the 4 figure vets bill to remove them.

Although given he's asleep on the sofa tonight and not 6ft deep in the garden perhaps this should be in the what makes me happy thread funny old world.

[Snoop Puss]

The cost of Lardman's bill! Just an excuse to add: one of our dog's had one. Only one and nowhere near as expensive as your bill (400 euros including all the aftercare), but treatment looks to have been successful. Fingers crossed for you.

[Baldy]

Unsuccessful job interviews where the panel don't abide by their own rules and one gets the totally subjective 'not the best fit for the team' brush off despite having 'excellent technical skills'.

Meh!

Expanding foam.

Hate it.

Every single time I use it I promise myself this will be the time I squeeze the trigger just a little and I will have a nice ball of expanding foam sitting proud of the hole in the wall so I can cut it back when dry and all will be well.

Nope. Today is another day I have it all over me, all over the walls where it has expanded so much it has dripped down out of the hole, and all over the window where I thought I'd try to fill gaps round the window where it was badly fitted and all over the floor.

*sigh*

Lardnans bill for a thing that’s loved.
Ours was �467 plus �83 last week and waiting for histology report next week.
My heart goes out to LM.

This bl@@dy forum making me sign in after being away from it for less than a bl@@dy minute!
Why so bl@@dy annoyed this time ( trust me this is not a new thing! ), because I only left to re-resize an image for the bl@@dy forum.

Restaurants who book their tables out to the max on Mother’s Day. Do they get extra staff? Not a chance.

[Chestnut]

Major building project just starting outside work - had a full day of them drilling through concrete, about 20’ from my ears. Estimated completion date October 2020....

Companies interpretation of what mainland UK actually means.. Apparently this stops at a certain place between Dunblane and Perth. (Just past Dunblane transferring into the start of a 'grey' area so I'm told.)

The A9 is the main trunk route from central Scotland all the way up to the Highlands. It bugs the life out of me that they can pinpoint a bit of this route and decide the mainland stops there. Anywhere after this point is classed as Highlands and Islands which of course means a longer delivery time and a (usually) vastly inflated postage cost.

Ye there are some companies who manage to deliver within time and for the same cost. Even Ebay sellers manage to get things delivered via Royal Mail with no added surcharges for goodness sake! The others blame it on their courier charges. Fine, get another courier otherwise I will not be buying from you anymore. I've had enough and I'm making a stand.

Grrr! Very

With you 100% gardening gal. it's so infuriating and regularly ridiculous, it's laughable.
My rant gardening gal reminding me of one of the down sides of living in paradise.

Mice have utterly ruined our newest garden parasol. Chewed beyond repair.
Guess who now needs to dash into town to try and find a replacement?

Why do you never see replacement fabric parts for them????
That's my second rant....having to try and find an alternative use for the framework. I do not want to throw it out...there is nothing wrong with it!

Nicos,several years ago i recovered one,reuse the end bits that hold the frame supports,do not worry about the top,leave a larger hole and face it,as you would a garment,if needed,glue it in places.

my rant is it feels colder than it actually is,on account of it being warmer for a few days,it shocks the system.
