Minor Rant Thread part 6

[Piggle]

People what use the cordless drill and don't charge the chuffing thing up, I had to hammer screws in so that I could build my paths.

[Andromeda]

The p£$%& who wrote my motorbike off today and came too da&* close to killing 2 children in the process. Get the £$%& off your mobile and don't drink alcohol before get behind the wheel you utter *******!

And while I'm here, the disapproving paramedic who was more concerned with the 'fact' that it was 'completely inappropriate for a female to ride a motorcycle' than he was about dealing with 2 injured children...

This has not been a good Christmas period thus far...to say the least!

[cardiffsteve]

Glad you okay Andromeda

[Feral007]

Andromeda, that is awful. Paramedics can be idiots like anyone else unfortunately. Glad you're ok, and hopefully the kids are too. Pity about the bike, but it can be replaced, unlike people

This is true! The children will be okay in time; cuts, bruises and one of them had a suspected broken ankle but considering the size of my bike and the fact that the muppet who hit it was doing at least 40mph (in a 30 zone) they were lucky.

I was parked and siding my helmet at the time...not a scratch on me.

Andromeda - glad you are ok and the children will be. Hugs for the bike, too, from another female biker. Is the driver being prosecuted?

Oh yes! Offences thus far:

Speeding
Drink driving (2.5 times the legal limit)
Using his mobile whilst driving
Dangerous driving

The responding police officer was not happy with him at all...

[julesapple]

Ditto all of the sentiments. Your family, and those of the children, would have been facing a very different Christmas had not your bike taken the brunt of the impact.

I know it's not good news for your bike - but you are still here to replace it.

[Glutton4...]

T'is the season of goodwill and merriment, TS - even to Pillocks!

Let him get a cab - it's kinder and far less stressful for you. Pass me a Stollen, they're not good for him, anyway!

[julesapple]

Ditto G4. Any Stollen left? Can I pass the brandy bottle? Minty Matchmakers anyone?

[VirginVegGrower]

Andromeda ~ words fail me. I'd be putting in a complaint about that paramedic, myself.


Anyway: my rant. (I don't know why I'm surprised. Or even if I am, really)

Himself is off down the pub all day. He's expecting me to be indoors cooking his Xmas dinner. Except I'm wise to that, and I go off to visit my family for the day. He wants me to pick him up from pub at 4pm. I get home by half 3.

Text him. No reply.

Hold breath, count to ten. Then ten again. Still no reply.

Then he texts that someone else is picking him up, and for me to go there to get him. Jog on mate. I switch the TV on and make a cuppa, start eating HIS stollen bites.

It's a good job for his crown jewels that I didn't rush round there, because he didn't arrive for another 55 mins: he stayed in the pub, gassing. His texts are blaming his mate, and he gets his mate's wife to call ME to find out when I'm coming to pick him up.

I am not getting cross.



But neither am I going to pick him up.


Update: I got another text saying "are you picking me up" at half 7. I got there, he wasn't ready to leave. No, I didn't want a drink, I'm driving. I pick up my bag an hour later, and he seems surprised that we're going ... then gets stroppy in the car, then again when we get home, and is now giving me the silent treatment. He wants me to get angry, so that he can feel justified for treating me like a doormat.

Does anyone still wonder why I don't enjoy Xmas? *rollseyes* *pours a port (finally!)*

Good job it's not Mr VVG, I'd have left him there

[Potstubsdustbins]

Left me the pub? I would have needed a paramedic or two.

Potty

[Feral007]

Andromeda could have sent her favourite paramedic for you Potty!

Sorry, I am ranting I promise. If I could just remember what it was now!

Oh yes, got off work late yesterday - I'm officially on holidays/lsl now. But just remembered after I stayed back to finish off the paperwork and stats. I forgot to write in 3 sets of notes, so will need to go do that. B*gger.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

People who come to my home and bore the cr*p out of me about Scottish Independence. Get the message I am NOT a nationalist, stop boring me. Cannot make it any clearer. Think I may need to turn to drink to get through the next two years, that or ram my garden fork up his bottom.

[Marcher]

Christmas food - fed up of it, I just want to get back to my normal diet, not forced to eat pseudo-traditional fare that I wouldn't normally eat.

Christmas TV - stop it with these terrible films and washed up 90s pop stars! I just want to watch a documentary or something even the slightest bit interesting!

Bah humbug.
