Minor Rant Thread part 5

People that advertise something on eB*y, you buy and pay for it, then they email you saying they can't/don't do it and you are in the wrong! Pillock!

Having to hand over lots of money for equipment and skip hire for our landscaping project.... I know that we are still doing it the cheapest way possible, but it still hurts to hand over hundreds of pounds!!

Snap. Men with digger came in cheaper than hiring a digger. Pays to know your neighbouring odd jobber. My rant? Men who forget you have a hospital appointment for an op and arrange delivery of the polytunnel the same day

[OverWyreGrower]

Being told that I haven't got a job I applied for because I am too confident and self-assured..

Apparantly I'm exactly what they were looking for skills-wise, in fact I overshadowed the other candidates quite a bit, but apparently I didn’t ‘gel’ with the Ops Manager in the competency interview – he said I was very serious and there wasn’t much banter and light-hearted-ness (??). I did say to them that since it was a formal interview, and they were asking me competency based questions, there wasn’t much opportunity for banter, and it’s not what I would expect to do in a formal interview....

[Seahorse]

Good grief OWG! I can only assume that the Ops Manager was insecure enough to think you were after his job!?

My rant is that good, hard working folk can be made redundant for no other reason than that the folk at the top are greedy and selfish.

No rant just not been here for a while so thought I would visit

Give it time Carol, give it time.

My rant? Bladdy snails. I'm beginning to feel like I am feeding them, not growing food. More brassicas munched to stalks. Damn and blast.

1. MOLLUSCS - Bladdy snails are everywhere. I have a plan to drown them in a bucket of salty water, but had grandson with me and he loves snails.

2. RAIN - It is encouraging the bladdy molluscs, and the lawn needs cutting and it's too bladdy wet to cut. I need a goat or a sheep.

The stoopid dog who tries to eat her tripe sticks longways, then chokes and sicks ... every time!

But at least she eats the sick back up

Tutors, who mark half of their group's essays, and then just stop, apparently so they can concentrate on giving feedback for End of Module Assessment plans which they consider to be 'more important, because this final mark won't affect your overall grade'. Well matey, a) this final mark for me will determine whether I get a 1st or a 2:1 for this module, b) you aren't supposed to be giving feedback on plans, as this is the examinable component, all you're supposed to say is 'thank you for your plan which I received today' so that you can verify the work has been done by the student, and c) your feedback is utter bollocks anyway, as you've told me I need more breadth, when the guidance notes say that we should concentrate on depth, not breadth!!

So, MARK MY F***ING ESSAY YOU TWONK!!

The Cat.

The visiting Dogs have been gone for four days, it really is time you stopped 'marking' things. Much more of it and you will be moved into the shed.

The Farrier who obviously thinks I'm a morning person and says he'll be here at 8 or 8.30 am. Hello? Do I look like a person who wants to go out in a gale or in a white out fog half an hour before you're meant to be here and find some unwilling nags? Do I, Do I? No, I like mid freakin' afternoon, and early evening. And it will be 8.30 not 8 or 8.30 ok? No, don't answer that! It wasn't really a question.
Is there a reason horses like to run around like mad things early in the morning more than later in the day? I'm taking a coffee out into the paddock with me, or there could be casualties. Ali

[Glutton4...]

Been there. Done that. In all weathers. Now, I always keep them in the night before...
