The New Minor Rant thread....

[Dorothy rouse]

Oh my, 3year old grandson, has the 'terrible twos', how can such a young child be SO difficult, can't remember mine being so difficult, rude etc, he really does need some boundaries and learn another word besides 'no'!

A lack of unlike buttons on the rant thread

There is having a fire, and there is having a fire every week in a property you don't live in
The previous owner was burning stuff left, right and centre for over 2 months including tyres, laminate and lacquered furniture and god knows what. Would be nice to be in my garden and not feel like I am being showered on in ash or obliged to inhale noxious fumes.

Heres hoping it settles soon and they run out of things to burn

People who have bonfires to make lots of smoke to annoy other people. Especially when they go out of their aa to collect the rubbish they burn.

But people who burn building waste are probably breaking sme rule or other. The env Health at council should have an out of hours number that is mnitored

My sister in law. OH is 50 tomorrow so she is wanting to come down for a surprise party, for me to do. Managed to get a message to her yesterday reference are you still coming( am I still going to have to suffer you all). I got back in text message talk which took ages to translate. She is looking to hire a mini bus but she has rung round but no one is answering her phone calls. It's called Christmas and people wont be at work.
So still waiting for her to let me know what they are doing.

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

My insignificant rant is not only is there Easter eggs in the shops but there are hot cross buns (insert any number of sweary words!)

[Alison]

People who post / say things that they know 75% of people won't understand but like it too much in the clique to care or bother explaining to anybody else.

Just to avoid confusion, I don't mean on here where we are clearly all lovely

[Glutton4...]

... not only is there Easter eggs in the shops but there are hot cross buns ...

Oh goodie - I love HCBs.

Last-minute invitations, that you are told you must accept.

You may need to elaborate as it may be unintentional...........I sometime have difficulty understanding what I say sometimes..........

You could apply for an abatement order on Environmental Protection Act 1990 s3- Statutory Nuisance and Clean Air. Downside is you have to give them notice of your intentions

My rant......cashiers who think people in queing are invisable

[noviceveggrower]

I have had to de ice my car 4 times today. Frozen inside and out at one point this morning. My OH started work at 7am and we covered the car with tarps thing was at 6.40 in the morning the tarps had totally frozen to the car.

All those dear kind people (And their children and friends) who made their annual Christmas visit to us (In the hope of a present) and as they entered announced they all had stinking colds, vommiting and the trots. Spent two hours coughing and sneezing over us, then left. They all know my wife is seriously Ill and i am not exactly fit as fiddle.

So now we both have it but being male mine is infinitely worse. I have reached the stage where coughing is so painfull I am having to hold my sides and it seems every cough is going to push my brain through my nose and ears. A proccess of assesment has to be gone through with each cough to determine if it will activate the trot problem. We have mountains of left over food and neither of us are hungry.
To make matters worse one of our foster men has it but can never make the toilet, he tries but basicaly spreads it all through the house, then does it again as he walks round trying to find us.
We (or me) have to then shower him and change his clothes, wash all the carpets (luckily we have a good machine for that). This then triggers the vommiting phase in me, and so we go on.

I think we need to visit all those people for new Year in the hope they will get re- infected.

[Bigmallly]

Oh dear BIll.................That has to be the rant of all rants.............Oh dear............Speedy recovery to you all.

My rant where on where is that empathy/sympathy button? I have mentioned it before.

I don't envy you the chest infection Bill (wiped me out for three and half weeks).

ANOTHER RANT Why is that these days I can have the same bug in Wales as Bill has in Torquay? That never used to happen! (How many other people have your bl00ming relatives visited Bill?
