Shallots are nearly ready ......


Plot next door, waist high with grass again , all seeding now, no signs of anyone on there .....why the chuff did they pay a deposit for an extra key if no b'gger's going to turn up and work it.....Nearly tempted to go in and strim it but why should we do their work for them

One opposite me is like that and one at the top. Woman next door to it has sprayed it, just as the bloke gave it up. We were offered it as our second half. I told the council what she had done and said no thanks.

I don't agree with spraying or ploughing plots for newbies....wysiwyg

Nor me and she shouldn't have done it on a plot she doesn't rent was my comment. They don't care.

[binley100]

They probably think it saves them the job.......

Anyway , I've expressed an interest....

b'gger.......ran out of rants.......

OH has been trying to sell his car informally (around mates etc) for a month or so. Last week he decided to put it in the auto press because no-one had expressed an interest. Today he sold it for about 15% less than he really wanted, because we proper need the £. Two hours later, his mate turns up asking where the car's gone. When OH said he'd sold it and for how much, said mate explodes, calling him 'An utter, utter fool' and says he was just coming round to buy it himself, having managed to raise the cash (the amount we were asking), but he hadn't mentioned it before because 'he didn't want to spoil the surprise'

So who's the 'utter fool' there then??!!

I hate poor customer service, there really is no excuse for it.

Today I took my petrol strimmer into a lawn mower service agent, to be told why am I bringing that cheap chinese carp in, you can't get spare parts for that, its useless. As a consumer I hate being made to feel small, so I gave them a piece of my mind.

I don't feel any better, but if it leaves them in a bad mood for the rest of the day, I'll be a happy man.

[Seahorse]

For crying out loud! You, you and you - grow up!!! I already have four actual children and I'll be damned if I'm going to molly coddle three middle aged twits who ought to know better. B*gger off and sort yourselves out!

[Indigo23]

Wobbly, handheld video films. Make me feel really, really nauseous!

[greenishfing]

Parents who can't or won't control their revolting (thinking of an acceptable word)..... offspring. Keep the little *******s off my plot.

Can I do them for trespass? It's my plot, not theirs.

While you're at it gag them!

It's an allotment not a sproggery!!

Nettles..........

[Glutton4...]

People who advertise their retired breeding bitches for sale. You've had them, as part of your life for EIGHT YEARS! They've worked hard for you and earned you a living ffs - you horrid horrid people.

One has even said they won't supply their pedigree so you can't breed from them!? WTF!? Have them spayed you ignorant @rris.

I'm so cross I'm not thinking straight. I just want to do something horrid to these people.

[Scarlet]

Most annoyed at myself!!! I shouldn't ask the OH to trim my bushes in the back border while he has a chain saw running! Nice one, you've gone straight through the main stem..

Major stuff up by bank on new credit cards.
They need to send out new pins. Even though their help page says it doesn't.
They try to tell me I changed my pin on the 10th. I haven't. I used my old card yesterday and authorised the new one and as it say "authorised and ready to use" I took the new one out shopping with me.

Tried to buy some stuff at t*sco. Error shows pin incorrect.


Conversation with bank. She says to go and try it again as the pin incorrect message hasn't shown up there and until it does they can't deal with it.
So go queue at morrisons and use card. Instantly it says 3rd pin attempt. OH takes photo of this and I put pin in and it's declined. Take photo of that too for good measure and pay with different card.

Second phone call with bank. Explain that Nic's being sent a new pin (He discovered his pin wouldn't work when he tried his card to pay) and maybe this is the issue for me too. Assured it isn't that there's no record of me being sent a new pin.
They say I've changed the pin earlier this week. I haven't.

Point out for the second time to them I might like to go and spend some money on my credit card as I'm getting married on Sunday and might have a few last minute things to get. They might be able to get me a new pin by Tuesday.

(I don't need the CC as we can access other cards/money etc - it's just frustrating to have silly conversations with banks about situations they have created)

that might make little sense to anyone outside of the pin-not-pin-bank-conversation..
