Minor Rant Thread part 5

If I put in my postcode and put "no more than 20 miles from" - I don't expect to have 3 pagefuls of results of jobs that are over 50-70miles away!!!!!

Probably as the crow flies it is 20miles.
When I put 20miles from cardiff i get results from Weston Super Mare which maybe les than 20 miles straight across the Severn River but I dont have a boat.

When I am in the kitchen/staff room preparing my lunch, I do not wish to discuss your method of working. When I have prepared it and it is in my hand ready to be eaten, I still do not wish to discuss your method of working and your plans for improvement. Make a bladdy appointment to see me.

Aaaaaaannnnnnnndddddd...this is the reason why I never, ever eat lunch in my office, in the canteen or in one of the staff rooms at work. When I'm having my lunch I don't what to hear about it (whatever 'it' is) unless it's a bonafied emergency!

My rant of the day, people who throw rubbish out of car windows. They are selfish, stupid, inconsiderate, dangerous, sorry excuses for human beings and I don't like low flying apple cores hitting my helmet visor - and breath.

pigging Iriso drippers ... don't work as my now crispy tomato plants will attest to. 30quid which I will never see again, as you can imagine I won't be leaving positive feedback!

[Piggle]

and another thing ( I'm off on one now!) - plant suppliers who when you enquire about the availabilty of a plant send you a 2 line rudish email saying they haven't got what is being advertised on their website. You think they'd be biting my hand off in this climate wouldn't you ........ so Crug Farm you won't be getting my 100quid now , I'll go and spend it with someone who is more helpful so there!

So called horticulturists who tell someone they have acid soil and can only grow leylandii ......did they test the soil ? Did they 'eckers like ......

The fact that we live in a remote rural area and the Parent's and Citizens meetings put the agenda out on the day of the meeting (some of us at work can't see it till we get home) so we have no idea if something is on that we want to have our say on (enough to drive thru the roo's twice in one night). And that things that are continually put off each meeting then become - too time consuming to deal with. Ummmm, if you did what you said you said you would do and let us have the information then it. wouldn't be time consuming. I'm gritting my teeth just reading about it - best have some chamomile tea before I attend in person?

Oh and would the computer stop randomly moving my cursor so that what I'm typing is suddenly inserted a paragraph or two higher? I'm over it!

It's raining. My OH has gone out to buy the screws and bits and pieces for building the raised beds today. He is very motivated (today) to do this - it can be done in the pouring rain, can't it.

People who lecture you about your diet when they haven't got a bleddy clue about said diet. And they do it very, very loudly in a posh restaurant on your mother's birthday.

The Ex, who comes to stay at our place after telling the teens he's coming not me (and no, never asking) and then regales me with tales of how bad his hip is, and what he's going to cook.
I'm not food obsessed (unless I grew it) and so my eyes glaze over. And I don't need to know in great detail how you've had to stop exercising and are in pain. Funnily enough I don't need to regale you with my shockingly painful shoulder, back, hip, ankles. I know everything is about YOU - but I'm still not interested. Phew that feels better. I may be able to last the w/e with only an eyeroll or ten

Thought that I would watch the last episode of The Bridge last night - and - it's gone from iPlayer!!!!

Cleverly leaving ALL our outside footwear outside, soles upwards, on the rack, in the lee of the house where it doesn't get wet.

Finding, this morning, that ALL of said items of footwear are SOAKING, inside and out, including my chuffing wellies!

[Glutton4...]

Oh, and if the chuffing Cat doesn't soon shut the chuff up, I shall put her in a wet welly-boot and lob her down the garden!

Finding that the printer won't work off any of our computers except techie 2's laptop - and then needing to print something tonight for school tomorrow and the boy doesn't want to unhook his laptop at this time of night.......................oFGS! Getting a new printer tomorrow and then going to heave the old one as far as I can tomorrow!
