Minor Rant thread 2016

[KevinM67]

People that think the 'Daily Mail' is the great champion of the common people - exposing the 'apparent' excessive waste of taxpayers money, and fighting for a more just society, where taxpayers money can be spent on the 'right' things.

This is a paper founded by the 1st Viscount Rothermere, a supporter of Mosley and a Nazi sympathiser. It is now run by his great grandson, the 4th Viscount Rothermere - who has non-domicile tax status, and through absolute disgraceful legal and accounting shenanigans, pays virtually no tax whatsoever on his reported 1.5 billion pounds net worth.

If you want to complain about taxpayers money being exploited and wasted, at least contribute by paying tax towards the society you've made/inherited your wealth from - that way us actual tax payers won't be incensed when tax dodgers like the Viscount add to 'apparent' waste by submitting thousands of FoI requests (that take a lot of time and resources to respond to).

A:- I can't sleep
B:- the budget

C:- I'm not sleeping either
D:- the budget from a mob that has no regard for the common person. I really so despair about this country's shift of the debt burden to the less unfortunate/disabled/poor in our Society.

My rant is about myself. I want to apologise to Bal

I am so sorry Bal not to have answered your message on my Facebookie page...............I know you sent it months ago and by not responding it has made me appear completely ignorant.

I only figured out this morning how to get into messages and there were loads of them, including many from people I have acquired stuff from on the garden stuff free and for sale sites.

That is no excuse for my behaviour.

Went to my local DIY cum garden store at lunchtime today.
Asked the guy, have you any perlite......no,
Have you any granular plant food.....no.
Have you any John Inns no 3.......no.
Have you any plastic flower pots.....theyre out the back.

Plastic flower pots were €1.86 each so I didnt bother.
Granular plant food sitting on the shelf at the back of the shop.
John Inns no 1, three bags left so I bought one of those.
This from a guy who had" hortacultural expert "written on the back of his jacket.

My two are. Kids TV what the chuff are these program makers on when they think their ideas up. Lost the will to live with My Little Pony, sorry to all the fans out there, and Vic the Viking. In fact all the stuff I seriously hate watching the kids now love.
Places where to go out as a family as a special treat. One place was wanting £50 and another wanted £70. Seriously, as Will would say, and that's not including petrol and all the stuff they are trying to flog when you get there.
I am not a bank of NVG.

People in work today were talking about the price of adults and kids to get into Legoland - shocking !!!

I just fell over on the dog walk, by myself at the furthest part. Had to drag my ass back, poor grazed knees , twisted ankle and sore palms i have not fallen like that for years. Think i might go pour a large glass of wine to make things better, well it is nearly 7

'Hello Miss Tenant this is Potty, you have a problem with your boiler?'

'Yes my water is not very hot'

'I can have a man with you tomorrow morning between 10 and 12.'

'That's no good I have to go shopping, I will be home at 4-30pm.'

'That's strange so shall we, be home that is, our next appointment would be a week tomorrow.'

'That's ridiculous I need my boiler fixed before the holidays.'

'Your choice............shopping ......................or boiler fixed...............'

I will let you guess what choice she made..................
