Maggots in my stored garlic.

Kids, who think, well ok, they don't think. That makes it ok doesn't it? Because they didn't mean to be so bluddy lazy, it just happened that way, and really you could have asked them again.............No, just NO!

[veggiechicken]

The use of the words "pop" or "popping".
"Popping" plants into the ground, "Pop" the seeds in the tray. "Pop" it in the oven,
Makes it all sound so easy
Why are writers and presenters so lazy? Why can't they use the correct verb to describe what they are doing ?

Just "popped" in to have a Rant.............

lecturer who has been told on numerous occasions that we have severe budget restrictions, still going on and on and on about buying this that and the other, what bit about we can't afford it do you not understand? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

sore eyes .. Have abrasions on an eyeball. Flemmin sore it is .

I've had that thanks to a chicken thinking my eyeball was edible. You have my sympathy.

RANT: this bloody text speak (I think it's called) all consonants and no vowels. It's like trying to read a different language. It's got to the point where I won't message a person selling something, even if I want the item as I don't want to waste precious time deciphering what it could/should mean. Am I old?

Just had message from Amazon, confirming that a gift I bought yesterday for niece has 'been dispatched, from Hong Kong, and may not arrive before Xmas' , how helpful is that! Why didn't it state that before I pressed the button!

Just spent (wasted) half an hour in the post office trying to post someone a small present, she asked me what it was and i said "a pruning knife" She handed me a leaflet about things the post office wont accept in the post!
There are a lot of things you can't post, such as dead dogs, petrol, gas cylinders, turds etc etc and weapons (apart from low powered air guns) Not a mention of pruning knives/pen knives.
I returned and confronted the Woman (as it happened, could just of easily been a man) and asked her how many robberies or murders had she heard of where the criminal was brandishing a 2 and a half inch curved blade pruning knife? Had she ever seen a movie where a squad of crack german storm troopers invaded a country visciosly hacking and slaying with pruning knives? "I dont make the rules" was her reply.
I then realised had I had a pruning knife in my hand right now I might be tempted to sabotage my own argument.
Just after 9am all the moms on the school run come in and the que was beggining to build up, but I stood my ground. The pressure got to her in the end and she accepted it.

That's brilliant Bill........
Sorry no rant today...........yet.

[Bigmallly]

I have a rant but unfortunately it's a sad rant:
Why keep a Pit Bull when :
a) It goes crazy when you have an epeleptic fit
b) You have kids
Sadly the person died overnight.............how very very sad...............
