Minor Rant Thread - Part 8

[julesapple]

Devastating news today. That bl**dy faery is flitting 'tween me and Bins.

A letter has arrived telling #2 Son that he has failed his first year exams so badly he will need to retake the entire year. He hasn't even had his exam results yet. But he has done very well in his first year course work. We are poleaxed, #2 is beside himself and we cannot get hold of anyone from the Uni for guidance. #1 Son believes there must have been some mistake somewhere or some work has gone missing - he's done his Masters so he knows about these things. But we are up in the air until we can get hold of someone at the Uni. The not knowing is completely crud.

Bins; is there any talk of redundancies? The BH has suggested that it's cheaper to constructively dismiss than to pay redundancy. This was what happened to him, but we managed to get proof and we sued for CD. Just a thought anyway, and lots more (((((HUGS)))))

Losing the will trying to use gift vouchers from a certain seed company. Two vouchers can't be used together as one is a promotional voucher even though it has a gift voucher code. How am I meant to know that even though it says gift voucher it's a promotional voucher?? Only way to separate order and pay postage twice. Was it worth it? Probably not.

Ruddy Car Insurance Companies - AGAIN!!!

They're still hassling me for a 'cancellation' fee. I didn't cancel, I merely informed them, when they sent out a renewal 'invitation' that I wouldn't be renewing.

Yes, it's less than fifty quid (just) but it's MY fifty quid. Feel free to take me to court @r$€h0l€$!

Incidentally, I used this Company many years ago, when they had a different name, and they were a shower of unreasonable $hy$t€r$ back then, and I had to threaten them with Watchdog!

Dear Southern Electric, allow me to explain how a set monthly fee for your services works. In the winter, I use A LOT of gas and electricity. In the summer, I use HARDLY ANY. So, amazingly, it balances out. Doubling my monthly payment because I owe you really quite a small amount after a long cold winter and spring, when you know full well that I'm technically overpaying you now it's warmer is insulting, manipulative and all about deliberately lining your own pockets. **** you.

Angry,angry,angry

Did I say I was angry?...well more like utterly furious.

We went to the UK for 6 days and paid someone to look after out cat,hens and bunnies- and specifically asked her to leave the barn door open so that our mommy hedgehog could get out to feed so she could look after her 3 hoglets.
When we got home the barn door was shut.

OH has just had a peek to see how they are getting on to find the mommy and one hoglet dead and 2 others barely alive.
We now have them in the house on a heat pad and sorting out feed etc for them
I'm glad I've done this before as I'm not too worried about what to do.

BUT....words utterly fail me.

( did I also mention that we came back to one sick bunny and one sick hen?- hmmm...I though not)

Livid is an understatement.

The only upside of all this is that we now have the pleasure of contact with these lovely little creatures.
Fingers crossed they survive .

Italian hotels that lose passports that they insist on retaining whilst you stay - then oh dear they can't find it.......

[Feral007]

Selfish people!

[Glutton4...]

Sorry, Feral, but I'm hungry - I'll cook you some in a mo!

[Feral007]

No, sorry G4, you'll never be as selfish as the person I'm talking about, no matter how hard you try! Fuming and then annoyed at feeling like this because it's so pointless.
