The New Minor Rant thread....

We're changing to a better phone and internet provider. Unfortunately the old one has cut us off and the new one won't connect up our internet until tomorrow. So, no internet! How to cope??!! (See 'happy' thread)

I love eating eel - never seen it at the fishmonger here and only ever once in Oxford

Wish I'd have known, it would have given me great pleasure in posting it to you..............shudder.

[Greenleaves]

I dont do much course fishing these days but I also hated catching eels, would always eat the hook and coat the line with slime......My rant ....I used to spends hours on the Kennet fishing for the elusive double figure Barbel but 9lb 11oz was the closest I ever got

[Bigmallly]

My rant: I dream of catching an 11oz Barbel....................

Before I went on holiday I put the debit card for my "holiday " account in my "holiday" wallet and hid my normal wallet with my other cards in a "safe place".

Back 2 weeks and can I find the darn thing? - I'm having to shop with the holiday card and transfer money from my normal account, the one my pay goes into, online. I'm normally so organised with money and it's really p-ing me off as I'm starting to lose track of what's come out of where.

There are clear typed instructions for parcel deliverers, on a note on the front door.

It would really help if the delivery drivers could read English. I'm not commenting on the amount of foreign workers in the country, just that I would have thought that the ability to read the language of your chosen country would be essential to the job.

Now, off to play 'hunt the parcel' yet again...

Hmmmph, I'm sitting waiting for a parcel delivery from DPD. Why do they invite you to ask to have your parcel delivered to a local shop and then not accommodate that on their phone lines or on their website?

[Glutton4...]

OK, I've got my pedantic hat on!

Hay Bales - for anyone watching the Goodwood Festival on TV...

Firstly they're Straw, not Hay.
Secondly, they're Hestons, not Bales.

Thank you!

When you clean something at home. Then notice that everything else is less than clean...

Yeah, that!

Dobbies, supposed to be a garden centre!

Didn't know what a vegetable cage was.
Didn't have any small canes.
Didn't gave any cane hoops
Didn't have any netting
Environmesh cover I bought, useless and doesn't fit, so has to be returned! (£15.00 each)

Have just emailed them! Asking why they don't stock these basic items necessary for veg growing !

Having to wait in for an Engineer to 'install' my Superfast equipment. I already had the equipment, he undid the box, unplugged the old router, plugged-in the new router and Hey Presto!

Awful trying to look at New Posts AND getting stung by 3 wasps (or 1 thrice) because I watered them. Fancy building your nest inside a pot of morning glories.

if I had wanted celeriac plants I would have bought them! I thought from the label they were Celery. Checked the label again and it says Celery.

Why can't plant producers get the labeling right!!!!!!
