Minor Rant Thread part 3

[Two_Sheds]

Me, I'm an idiot: I've waited in all day for a 'next day delivery' parcel, getting crosser & crosser because I have chores to do in town. I've just realised that y'day was a Bank Hol ... so 'next day' is actually tomorrow

..when I dig out my heated propagator, excitedly look over my chilli seeds and get ready to plant them - only to discover that the seed & potting compost I sent OH out to buy last week is instead peat free MPC

Off out, back in half an hour!

Discovering that my beautiful Christmas diamond earrings from OH for christmas with the screw thread at the back as a SAFETY thing so you don't lose them has a back missing. Yes it has unscrewed itself today and could be anywhere although luckily the important bit is safe and sound.

Maybe they can send me a new back - I don't have any other screw thread ones to put on so won't be able to wear them at all if not.

Bladdy snow! Again! Had a nightmare of a journey home at lunchtime when daughter and SIL "rescued" me from work. It's melting fast now.

Fr***ing Council Officers who think they have a right to be control freaks at our expense.

Fr***ing Council solicitors who know our Council is in breach of the law but uses typical solicitor tactics to try to defend the indefensible

Steam is coming out of my ears - went to m-in-laws, first time seeing them after getting engaged. Sat there for 2 HOURS and neither of them even mentioned it. Their only child, and his first wedding. Not even congratulations. And I know they were told on NYE cos I was there next to the phone. They Only wanted to talk about how the price of a flaming box of biscuits had gone up in Asda?!?
RUDE
IGNORANT
UNBELIEVABLE

I managed not to slap her even thought she thoroughly deserved it.

They are NOT invited to our celebration lunch with family, No Way Jose.

On the day that a white van man killed Gary Mason: motorists who ignore red lights, double yellow lines, zebra crossings, blah blah blah. And the police who do nothing about enforcing traffic laws. Is it really any wonder that cyclists ride on the pavements?

Congratulations Janeyo ........ (Can I come?)

My rant, (as not chatting) Man flu, but not just any old run of the mill man flu, this is double nutter b°°§**d Asian deadly killer strain man flu. Felt it coming on yesterday when out at the mayors bash, feel dreadful today, properly ill, and we've got about 30 people round tonight for the gallettes de roi.

[zazen999]

Doctors. useless fe****g t*****s.

I am told to come for a 9 oclock appt and to wait outside until everyone has gone, as it is the last appt and they know I have flu of some sort.

I get there bang on 9am. No space in the car park, and one patient still evident from looking through the square window. So I reverse out, park up on the road, and walk in. 2 mins max. Last patient still there, leaves a couple of minutes later.

Doc meanwhile has gone into the house [surgery is village surgery as add-on to home].

25 mins later - still nothing. I'm coughing up buckets but hey ho.

half past, he come back in.
Is she here.
Yes
She was late
Not by more than 5-10 mins

WTF!!! I was on time, and if I'd staying in the car waiting for the last patient to leave then I'd have been a couple of mins longer.

Examines me.

Says it was swine flu. Over the worst.

I said it's not that that's bothering me, I'm asthmatic, and have had pleurisy and bronchitus, and I'm worried about it going to my lungs.

Your lungs are clear.

I'm worried about it GOING to my lungs.

They are fine now, just get some rest and go back to work when you feel better.

I can't get rest, as every time I lie down I cough and cough and it ends up in me being sick. I haven't kept anything down in 5 days.

Have some nausea tabs, that should help you eat.

So there's nothing you can do for the cough, nothing to try and stop me from actually throwing up, nothing to stop the gunk from going to my lungs at all.

You'll be fine, and should get better, just take plenty of rest and fluids and try to eat a little.

So this morning, after taking the tablets, eating 8 chips and being sick again, coughing/hacking and being sick again, having very little sleep I have woken up with a fever. So, it's back to square 1.

Great. Thanks so much Doc for your help. Not.

[Munch]

Sorry in advance if my rant offends anyone.........

MEN..... aaaggghhhhhhhhhhhhh ....

WTF do we bother.....

[Flummery]

Minor rant - as requested - am I the only one who doesn't like the new message on the log-in screen - Welcome, Stranger, or something. Until I sign in they don't know I'm NOT a stranger but I LIVE here!

I don't like it and I wish they'd remove it or change it back to 'if you're new here'.

[Florence Fennel]

As Flum says, I really don't like that either!

[Glutton4...]

I'm usually permanently logged-in - and I still get it on my screen. I don't like it, but it doesn't offend me like the nasty big red one that wouldn't go away!

Be thankful for small mercies, I say. I also appreciate they are keen in trying to increase subscriptions/income, like most companies.

MY RANT, however is THE BL**DY CLOCK!!!!!!!
