  • Damn pesky snails. I planted out some cauliflower plants, grown from seed on Sunday. Raised bed, duly pelleted. Collars on the small plants, blue smarties scattered, enviromesh over bed. Have been to look at them just now and the whole lot have been reduced to stalks. There are some half price plants at Mr Fothergills I see, so I'd better get buying some. Bu@@er.

    • Stupid agencies that work for the Government to help people to return to work.
      Keep asking if you want to go for jobs that you either haven't trained for or janitorial jobs in supermarkets.
      (not that i have anything against janitorial jobs)

      • Can I join in with you on that rant Steve? They keep asking my son, who is a qualified Site Manager and Quantity Surveyor if he'll take on menial, minimum wage jobs at the other side of the country temporarily for a month. Stupid. He's desperate for work, but not that desperate.

        • Continuing the work rant, although I will have 3 months off when I go home, if nothing is forthcoming in the new year I will try and get work at home in France. There is a government organisation who do this stuff too, but unfortunately they do the triage for the job applications. As far as I'm concerned, if I think I can do the job I will apply, if I dont, I wont. Simples. However, because the French are paperwork mad, if I dont have a 4 year course in shelf stacking, with certificates, I cant apply for that job. Ludicrous.

            Aren't there people at that end won't take those jobs? Or are they being sent to your town, to show how "willing to work" they are?

            My rant: Himself being rude & unpleasant to me in a cafe: he was told off by our mutual friend (usually nobody challenges his behaviour). She told him he was disrespectful, rude & it wasn't good enough. She made him apologise, which he did grudgingly. He calmed down for a few hours, then started on me again when we got home. I said I wasn't interested in fighting him and didn't he recall M telling him he was being a git? He denied all knowledge of her mentioning it! He just lies and lies! I can't believe how he can deny something happened, even when there were witnesses! *pulls own hair out in frustration*

                    • Having £100 missing from the bank account, getting all angry cos someone has obviously stolen/cloned a card... THEN.... going through all the transactions and realising you have made a mistake in paying one of the credit card bills online and have "given" one of the companies £100 more than you meant to (or they asked for). Can't bladdy ask for it back either....

                      • Don't worry OWG - I once had to ask for a new Credit Card, as mine was about to run out, and the replacement one hadn't arrived. They sent a new one, which duly arrived, and I promptly found the original replacement the next day, whilst looking for sommat else!

                        • Doom and gloom merchants who can't imagine why my daughter would want to take the children to the seaside when the weather forecast says it's going to rain until at least mid afternoon. So glad the sun came out this morning and is still shining. Hope it's the same at the coast. If you trusted the weathermen, you'd never do anything.

                              same problem I had last year, the solution seems to have been, get kittens, which the owner did....none have been nibbled this year. Sorry, chatting...

                              • OK, another rant - can't get cats as our dogs would kill them.

                                The £150 damage to our polytunnel last year was caused by one of the dogs seeing a neighbours cat inside, and clawing his way through the plastic to get to it. They would never, ever leave a cat/kitten alone, and would do absolutely anything (including scaling a 6ft fence) to get to them. Couldn't ever put a kitten/cat through that
