Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[Glutton4...]

Insurance Companies that don't update their databases, so I still can't Tax my ruddy car!

[marchogaeth]

Have just been told that when I hit 40 (not for a year and a bit I hasten to add), basically, that's it, my life will be over - Harsh dude, harsh. How you thought that was a compliment I have nooooo idea .

Think I'm going to put a paper bag over my head - it'll be safer for everyone

If it's any consolation - being in your 40s is ace.

Like Zazz says...... I had my kids as littlies through my 40's, changed my job to something I love, got to grips with this place... At 40 you could still have 50 years left, you can't afford to slow down before you have to. If my kids do the same as me I could be 72 before I become a grannie and I intend to be fit enough to enjoy having them if I can. People who say things like this are really telling you about themselves, what's gone on in their life to make this seem like a positive thing?

My rant is eisteddfod traffic- everywhere!

Also, the b****rs with the red setters (above somewhere) have moved in down the hill! Could be war.

Like Zazz say

Pay No attention Becki! I'm in my 50's and don't think I have ever been happier. I am working part-time in a job I really enjoy, we are financially secure (well as much as anyone other than a millionaire can be) and we are planning to get married. We go out regularly and enjoy ourselves! Look forward gal!

My rant - why can't you get reasonably priced matching wedding rings in silver?

I'd say it's just like not being in your 40s; if it was **** before, chances are it'll be just as **** after. If it wasn't, it won't be any different. Never understood the fuss about what age one is tbh, it's one of life's irrelevances.

[SarzWix]

And since when can I not say **** on here any more??!! **** **** **** ****!

[julesapple]

I hated turning thirty - it had a sense of anti-climax, of not achieving anything I had aspired to do in my teens and twenties. Turning forty was a breeze - didn't bother me a bit - I started my own business that year too. And it was a gorgeous summer......last time I remember a prolonged period of lovely weather tbh.

Rant: Waking up at very first light with a raging earache. Gone now, thankfully.

[lottie dolly]

age is what you make of it,i remember the optitian saying,now when you reach 40 blar,blar,just ignore the figures and carry on,yes,you have to adapt with bit and bobs as time goes by,but 30 years on,having learned more about life in general,it is a just another challenge,carry on with life,for me personaly,i am a young thing in an older body catching up on what i missed out on,i will only give up when its wrenched from me hahahaha,
my rant is this weather,i want to play outside

[PyreneesPlot]

Still raining. Read that France is heading for the coldest, wettest summer since 1817.
Summer? I'd settle for some spring.

[rustylady]

Finally got the kids' sickie bug

[VirginVegGrower]

Oh no ^^^ Hope it passes quickly RL.

My rant - why is it cold, damp and utterly miserable. Enough already.

Inappropriate Taglines/Pictures

Dear E-mailer 1. I understand that you are e-mailing from your personal e-mail, but you have contacted this office regarding a professional service. I don't know you, so why would I want to see pictures of you fawning over your newborn? However sweet you think it is, you are not the first woman in the world to give birth, save it for family and friends who can at least pretend an interest.

As for E-mailer 2. Why on God's green earth would you ever think it appropriate to submit an e-mail to a professional organisation and end with "Yours, X, Y and little Z (who just used the potty for the first time 5 minutes ago)" I kid you not.

[bearded bloke]

Bugger Hope you feel better soon Sarz,but as you say ...

The only way is up, right?
