Minor Rant Thread - Part 9

[Bill HH]

I was annoyed to read that an English man was banned from facebook for using the word Faggots. He was describing what he had eaten for his dinner. Now in America Faggot is regarded as an objectional word, but I have to ask "Who's bloody language is it"? I once had a very good (in my poinion) poem removed from an American poetry site for using the word Fag, (Meaning cigarette in England.
Now Google are quite happy to show all manner of corrupt filth on the internet and have only just started to ban some of these terms from their search engine, so we have the situation where you can see someones head being cut off, or search for all manner of porn, but you cant talk about what you had for dinner. Americans wont be happy until they rule the world.

Yesterday, I emailed an Estate Agent, asking for details of a property that's just come up for rent near our chosen area, pointing out that there is no information on their website, and could they email me a copy.

I received a reply, saying that they have no further information!

Naturally (yes, you knew I would), I sent them a quite sarcastic response, and strangely, they say they now appear to have found some information hiding in a file somewhere...

Words fail me.

Thanks for the 'likes' there are times when I think perhaps it's just me...

We eat faggots - since when did they become forbidden?

It's not you GeeGee4 - it's the world - stop it - I want to get off

I reckon it's all very deliberate, they've got your interest now!

I was rather annoyed by them in the first place, Dotty. The only way of making contact with the Agent, was by 'auto' email, and it wouldn't send without my name, full address with postcode, email address and telephone number. I don't want them to know all that information. I just want to look at the house, not be bombarded by sh!te, or kept on their ruddy files. Nosey buggas.

In the end I had to do a g**gle search to find their email address, as they don't publish it on their website, just this 'auto' email form. Ruddy cheek.

Yes, we have an 'auto' email form on Hubby's Business site, but all the info is optional, and we do publish the email address on the site in case anyone wants to use their own method.

Like I said, I do often wonder if it's just me, though...

[Dorothy rouse]

I agree with you, why are they making it so difficult,so annoying!

I've been looking at flights/ hotel sites, availability etc for Xmas period, and get really annoyed, when you can't check what's available yourself and you then have to ring them to find further details. Then you get the hard sell! so I won't and search elsewhere, drives me mad, think v confusing. Asks if dates are 'flexible' well maybe a day or so,then comes up with dates in November ! Helpful for Xmas !

Compile the information provided and sell it on as a contact list for other traders.

Daytime tv politics shows.

The BH loves them, I loathe them. Everybody shouting, nobody listening.

Totally pointless.
