The family who nicked the charity box off the counter at my OH work. They cut the chain it was attached to the counter with and then sneaked it into the customer toilets to empty it.
Just couldn't believe it when OH told me. They have CCTV of them doing it but the pictures are a bit grainy so don't know if it will be any good for the police.

We had a son who we lost at ten days old in 1998. He spent all his time in hospital and we were able to stay in the same hospital ( parents rooms) untill we unfourtunatley had to let him go. Anyway.

We noticed that the tv/videos etc were chained and as parents had their own keys to accsess the block, i asked one of the custodians ( these rooms were paid for and run by a charity ) who would break into a hospital just to thieve a tv and video..............

Her answer astounded me and still does to this day............................"The parents my love"

Home owners who try to fiddle an insurance pay out.

Claimed the discharge from a condensing boiler was removing the facing from his bricks.

Went to investigate some two months back and explained its only water vapour and if you look the facing is coming away on all four walls not just the wall with a flue on.

Then received a solicitors letter threatening to sue, went round today with the guy from my insurance company.

He listened to the mans complaint had a look round, took photographs etc.

You should have seen the guys face when the insurance investigator turned and said "Well Mr So & So I suggested you instruct your solicitor to take action, you will loose of course. You will then be liable for your costs and ours and then we shall make a compliant to the police of attempted fraud!. Say nothing Colin we are leaving."

Talk about gob smacked. We haven't stopped giggling about it all day.

Whilst away on Saturday we went off for the night at the beach. Went to a bar and ordered a couple of halves minding our own business, when a woman from a few tables away said do you mind if i ask you a question......
ok then
You are such a beautiful girl now why would you go do something like that with your hair
excuse me, well i like it thank you
but it looks awful, why would you do something like that, you have ruined how you look, i just do not understand it.
.........(quiet)
Sorry have i offended you
Well you are being quite rude
sorry i didn't mean to, its just you remind me of my dog and if she had knots in her hair like that i would kill her and rip them all out....
Now you are offending me so best you stop talking to me.
We got up and left to go elsewhere

Why do some people move to another country sit in bars and get drunk all day with nothing better to do. grrr

P.s i have dreadlocks, if you do not like it, it´s your problem not mine and i am not asking you to do it to your hair

We have just literally found out that we are moving a week on Monday and have absolutely nothing packed. Mind you it would help if we had some boxes.

Runs off screaming in panic........

Daren't sit down might get sucked up the pipe, definitely get some "Your in my way............shift."

Thames Water turned up at 7.30 this morning and spent an hour and a half investigating the leak. My builder has back filled the hole so they couldn't see the leak so they'll come back when it's been dug out again. Why did they fill it in when they knew TW were coming out? Grrrrh.

My landline's down and their not coming out to fix it until tomorrow. So no wifi. I have other things to do but I needed access to do urgent business so I'm stuck in a cafe.

Number 3 rant. Why can't Wales & West Utilities coordinate with British Gas. Why do I have to do it.
