We normally don't get many scam phone calls but this morning we've already had two, supposedly from talktalk, who we're not with. Normally with the scammers I either put the phone down immediately, leave them connected while I tell them I'll be back shortly and see how long they hold on or occasionally, when I'm bored, wind them up.
This latest batch of scam calls however is an ansaphone. .....nobody to wind up. Just press one to be ripped off or two to be ripped off as well. Spoilsports!!! Even I can't convince an ansaphone that I am a three headed, incontinent Martian who needs a new chip for my brain. SPOILSPORTS!!!!!

My Wheelbarrow tyre has exploded in the sun yesterday with a loud bang and it’s only just had a new inner tube!

Please don't have a go about 3rd world countries VC. People who are blocking the item you want to buy in the supermarket as they are having a long conversation on their phone. I can't stand up for long at the mo. I do remember the days when grocers had chairs for customers to sit on whilst waiting to be served.

[Greenleaves]

I am at a total loss...3rd world, telephone conversations and chairs

I can honestly say I have never seen a chair in a grocery shop, chemist yes, grocers no. You have told us you are IT savvy, why not use online shopping Janie?

My rant, I hate being confused

[Jay-ell]

3rd world countries? No one mentioned them.

1st world problems were mentioned 10 months ago. You know, like not being able to sit down when buying banana instant whip.

My rant - people deliberately misquoting others and using things in the wrong context to make what they have to say sound important.

Ala Brexit, politicians, newspapers, TV news.

There were seats in grocers but that was when they had counters and you could still buy loose broken biscuits. Sainsburys, Broadwater, Worthing c1962 and Boots had library upstairs.

My rant is rushing down the stairs to answer doorbell only to find two Jehovah's Witnesses there! I think I may have extended their "Anglo-Saxon" vocab. "So you'd like us not to call on you again?" Wow, talk about stating the obvious! Last week it was a chugger for Battersea Dogs' Home , at least that's a useful institution.

[Lumpy]

That people have a rant about things that may or may not have been said on here.

JanieB you have confused the trunk off me (not too difficult at the best of times) but I’d be much happier if you or another explain your post as I think as it stands provokes a negativity the Vine does not deserve.

Come on JanieB please tell us what the problem is.

In the interest of the continued harmony on the forum, this thread will be closed from 8am tomorrow morning (27 May 2019) snd will not be reintroduced.

We are sure you all understand the reasoning behind this decision. Any threads that start in the same context will also be removed.

[greenishfing]

Just a quick rant because I'll have nowhere to let off steam tomorrow! Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh!

[DannyK]

Having to reboot iMac and reset various clocks after engineers blew cable three doors up. Power went just as 22:00 news was starting and returned towards end of weather forecast.

I blame it on the Poles who did the drive there as they'd hit the gas mains with their Kango. However in the interests of impartiality Brit bods over the road went through gas mains twice with mini-digger. Now that takes some doing!

[Snoop Puss]

Shame this thread has to be closed. Good for letting off steam. Maybe members could be instructed not to rant about other members? Might that fit the bill?
