Ya know what f's me off no end? Lazy people.

I've been busting my backside nonstop for the past two weeks to meet an important deadline for work, (which was changed from being a year away, 4 days - but that's another story). This morning I got in, and we have a technical support dude in our office now. He's messy sh** has been slowly spreading - so I've dumped it all in their networking room where all the servers are. the lazy t**t has come in, not even noticed and has spent the entire time since he's been in on facebook?! They have (technical side of the IT team - I'm on the software development side) loads of work on themselves.

DOES MY HEAD IN.

ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

We have invited you, to our place, for Christmas Dinner, on Christmas Day.

I want a 'Yes' or a 'No' answer. How difficult can it be ffs!?

If you don't want to come, I won't be offended, I really won't, just make up your chuffing mind and let me know!

[binley100]

since the middle of August for a job that we were told would take 6 weeks, you've taken away our parking, our access, our footpath, our view, our electricity , our water, and very nearly our drainage ,Fobbed us off with untruths obviously told just to keep us quiet. . so don't smile at me and say 'allright Jo, how's it going ' then look surprised when you get told exactly how it's been going ......and then to ask if I'll be in later when you know damn well my car is stuck behind a bl'ddy great hole .....if looks could kill (well I think he got the message ....

W.T.F???

The council binmen didn't collect our wheelie over a week ago because they said there was a black bag that wasn't in the wheelie. Correctomundo...there was, it was textiles for the recycling and was labelled clearly and was sat on top of the recycling box two foot from the bin.

So we phoned up last Friday and explained. Sorry, we'll collect within two days. By Wednesday nothing. Phoned again and they tell me they came out Tuesday but the bin wasn't out. Yes it was, it hasn't moved.

Phone again just now and they ask me if we've put any more bags in the bin over the past week, well, yes we have. So the lid doesn't shut? No, it doesn't. Then, sorry, but it won't be collected. You'll have to go to the tip yourself.

WTF? I mean, really?

[Glutton4...]

Dump it on the Council's doorstep, Jules - the Pillocks'll clear it then!

[julesapple]

£1700 council tax a year....for what, I wonder? The roads are carp, you never see a policeman even if you scream blue murder. I've written a snotty letter and thrown in the fact that the BH is disabled ( I know, a low call) and that he doesn't need this hassle.

Grrrrrrr. 'kin Grrrrrrr!!!!
