The New Minor Rant thread....

[Scarlet]

Stepped into the swimming pool this morning and judging by the amount grey hair bobbing in the water realised that I was at the wrong session. Over 50's!!!! ......and not ONE person tried to chuck me out for being under aged

[veggiechicken]

My rant - first worrying that Scarlet had lost her hair in the swimming pool...............then realising I could be one of those over 50++++++s

[JanieB]

Builders who chuck their empty crisp packets into my compost bin.

Oh, and Dorothy, I quite often get chucked out of the vine, usually when I'm changing threads.

And again!

Usually I don't have to 'log in' every time I want to have a nose, but today, whenever I go back to it I have to login ?

I'm using iPad, as usual

[veggiechicken]

Dotty, when you log in, do you tick the "Remember me" box?

Need stretching out to get rid of the cricks.

Need stretching out to get rid of the cricks.

If you can bare being partially or fully upside down, these are excellent for stretching the spine.

Will you please make your mind up. Its like doing the Hokey Cokey, in/out in/out........

[Dorothy rouse]

Dotty, when you log in, do you tick the "Remember me" box?

Yes, I do tick that box. I've had to 'login' again this morning, am probably doing something wrong, I'll see how it goes today.

My tomato seedlings that I potted up and planted out at the weekend sure did take a battering with that awful weather yesterday, the hail and the thunderstorm, hope next few days are calmer, so they can recover.

[Deano's "Diggin It"]

Hey! A more "placid" guy than me you would never meet!

Was asked by a "colleague" even variety specific if I'd set him some "Stuff" off!

Not a problem with that! Happy to oblige!



But think your taking the mick! Was asked to take em in work for him to collect! Been there since Monday!

Youv'e till Saturday to collect! Or there going elsewhere!

[Lumpy]

Don't get me wrong.....I love the fact that we have them in the garden but.....the pigging hedgehogs have dug up all me beetroot and turnips AGAIN. More beetroot (ready grown plants now in situ) and everything covered with bug mesh to try and stop the prickly little bloggers.

I didn't lose my temper so this counts as a minor rant.

Went for ice cream (yes, in this weather!) with my niece and her mam today. It was a posh little ice cream bar in a nice part of town and the ice cream was beautiful. Unfortunately the customer service by the owner was appalling.

The thing on the menu that caught my niece's eye (she's 4) was a colourful cardboard pot of ice cream with sweets and sprinkles etc. I took her with me to the counter to order. She asked the owner for a pot of ice cream and the lady said she'd put it in a glass, my niece started to whinge that she didn't want a glass and wanted a pot like in the picture, the lady said it was the same concept and started to fill the glass. My niece wasn't happy and was getting upset that she couldn't have what the picture looked like on the menu, so her mam asked if they would put it in the pot like on the picture. The woman was less than impressed and started to empty the ice cream from the glass to the pot, at this point she thought it appropriate to say to my niece 'you're just awkward aren't you?

Excuse me??? She's 4 years old. What on earth was her problem? If they didn't have any of the pots and only glasses then fair enough I would have explained that to the bairn and that the ice cream will still taste the same out of a glass, or she could have a cone.

If there had been no plastic pots then fair enough but there they were all along the counter. I kept my mouth shut for once but inside I was furious. The bill was £17 for two banana splits, a small tub of ice cream and a can of pop. I won't be going back, although it's an upmarket place I've had far superior service at Mcdonalds.
