Minor Rant thread 2016

Nicos do a 'Potty'.

Lady standing on doorstep, foot tapping, arms crossed looking at watch. As I walk down the drive I get "And what time do you call this?"....... "10am madam" say I..........."You said you would be here at 9-30am and where's he going?" ............."I said between 9-30 & 10-30 madam and the apprentice is taking the tool box back to the van."............."But I have a leak in my kitchen your supposed to fix."......."In that case madam I hope you can swim..................Good day."

Even the lad knew what was about to happen, people have no right to abuse others for no reason and I for one will not put up with it I would sooner lose money than be abused.

Nicos' guest's having such painful piles - well I hope so......................

[Snoop Puss]

Nicos, perhaps they could take their potential and go off and be guests somewhere else? Somewhere were they might have to be paying guests, for example.

I'm on the parish council. We have a problem with illegal parking that should be dealt with by the local police. The roads are in a medieval town not designed for cars. The police say they don't have the manpower. After several years of this a sort of solution has been hashed up. There are 4 problem roads, one of them the one I live on. There seems to be a councillor living on each of the streets and the police have suggested that we photo the transgressors with their reg plates and send them to the police.

My son's work van and car are shared between me and him. I have no problem with the car as I have the extra key. But there is only one key that disables the alarm on his van and he frequently leaves it on the double yellows outside my house. This van is in my name. I have asked him on numerous occasions to please park it legally as I can't move it. Where is it now, parked on the double yellows outside my house.

I am one of the major instigators in the drive to stop illegal and dangerous parking in my town and my son is really taking the p1$$.

I've got to drive to Glasgow tomorrow for a hospital appointment. There's no suitable public transport. It's going to take ages to get there and I'll probably get lost. I'm only used to driving straight up the motorway to Ikea and back.

The one time I did drive into the city centre, I ended up going the wrong way at a junction into a road I wasn't allowed into. Thankfully it was early on a Sunday and the road was almost empty so I managed to right the situation without any hassle.

I need to leave early am and I'm getting wound up about it now. Not the app itself, just the getting there. Times like this I miss the ex. Just wanted to moan.

Ooooh GG, can totally understand where you're coming from with this one !!!
I hate driving into cities/large towns or basically anywhere I'm not sure of where I'm going. Do you have a sat nav? They can be blummin good things for the likes of me, although they're not infallible ...
Could you get someone to perhaps go with you for support?
Good luck, I'll be thinking of you
Sorry this isn't a rant - I'll go now ...

I was going to make a chilli for tonight but now I don't really feel like cooking. I fancy fish 'n chips instead. I don't have them often and usually have to refry the chips as they are a bit peedy wally, but the fish is really good. Our local chippy has decided not to do fish 'n chips any more. I think they don't understand the British and Friday's F 'N C's as they started with not cooking them on Fridays and Saturdays. Strongly suspect they will go bust very,very soon.
OK. So I'm cooking tonight.
