Minor Rant Thread part 5

Fracking is for shale gas

It's the fracking shale that's making the US self-sufficient


Oh, my rant. The motorcyclist who gave it large behind and then beside me, all the way through town. Seriously revving it, doing 50 in a 40, taking silly risks. I caught him up anyway, driving steady & sensible

No, my proper rant:

- things not being put away when finished with. Hence, I found a paint roller but not its tray. I found sandpaper, but not the holder. Nearly all my best paintbrushes are "missing" (thrown away? because it's too much trouble to wash them out ?)

Having to paint the kitchen / dining room when it's nice and sunny outside. Then finding smudges of paint in places you thought you'd washed.......

[taff]

something delivered by the delivery man/woman when I was out being given to my [actually] senile neighbour who I hate talking to, and now I'm going to have to ask for my parcel if they remember they got it at all.
and people not shutting the damn door behind them which keeps other less welcome visitors out and not knocking on my door. If I wanted to answer it or let you in, I would. If I don't, it's because I don't want to see you.

Really, what does one do?

[Glutton4...]

Chuffin' stoopid rules and regulations regarding Immersion Heaters! I WANT hot water. Not luke warm. Definitely not cold. I also want a WHOLE TANK FULL, not half.

Having an immersion element that can only heat half a tank, to warm, is not good enough. This evening we have had to have a roaring fire, despite the beautiful warm day, in order to heat the back boiler, so we can have a decent bath.

If you create a situation where someone needs to talk, don't bloody run away because you need space!

I would actually prefer to watch ads in the break please, instead of (last night) golf, darts, cricket and football.

minor rant from me! Footballs. now I know my plot is next to a park with a football pitch but there is a 20ft+ high fence between us, yet the number of footballs that come over and squish suff! yesterday i had a really stressful drive home from work and just wanted to get a couple of small jobs finished on the plot so I was really frustrated at the amount of fottballs that kept flying over the fence. the casualty for one of them was my daffs patch. there is a whole park to play in, why play by the fence? do they have no control over the ball? well obviously! do they think asking me there the ball went was a good plan? argh!!!!!!!!!

Husbands, who, feeling sorry for you being ill and trying to complete an assignment for the last 3 days, promise to make you the dinner you've been craving (home-made chicken kiev and garlic mushrooms), then get so engrossed in polishing their 20 year-old rust-bucket of a Discovery that they make nothing, and tell the kids to 'shove a pizza in' if they're hungry I don't like f***ing pizza, and your crappy car still looks like sh!t !!

Ah, I know this situation well. So much so that I have my own tool box and tools with my name on. I have a hidden stash of glass paper and brushes. How bad is that! Having said that, this is my second tool box as my first was acquired by the OH and the tools end up in various places.
After the last time I was so cross and he is forbidden to so much as look in my box!!

Deliberately obtuse husbands who refuse to see that you're pissed off at a promise being broken, not that they've spent several hours doing 'something I wanted to do'. That's fine, just don't leave it til stupid o'clock to say that you aren't making dinner. F***-wit!
