[Moopmoop]

Peeps who think the best time to re-start an old argument is New Year's Eve

[Moopmoop]

And, while I'm on, peeps who shorten your name without your permission. Example:

Me: My name is Melanie
Stranger: Hello Mel

Are you stupid as well as deaf?

That woman that gave me her flu! She did warn me, I must have got too close. Why did she have to be shopping for bird tables anyway - stay at home instead of infecting the rest of us!

Peeps wot don't bother to check if you're staying up to see in the new year. Then they phone you, at stoooopid o'clock, whilst pi$$ed out of their skull, and wonder why you don't appear to be their bestest ever buddy!

People who decide to stay up til stoopid o'clock, playing old rave tunes, so that the bass noise comes up through the floor in a constant bum-bum-bum-buh-dum-dum-bum-bum-bum and keep you awake til 3 am, then when you drag yourself out of bed the next morning you find they've used all the chuffin' milk as well The whole new year thing is well annoying!

[SarzWix]

In fact, just what IS the point of new year? It's not the start of the fiscal year, the school year, the meteorological year, the astrological year, or any other thing except some poxy calendar that doesn't even follow the moon! Why must we all pretend to have a fab time and a fresh start when it doesn't actually mean anything?!

There isn't. And I don't play that game. Never have. Could never stand it even as a child. No idea why.

My rant; having to have a very early start in the morning and I'm not even going back to work til Monday...

Plonks that can't tell the difference between a cm and an inch......it's taken me 2 days to tell the idiot that the fish tank he is selling cannot be 30cm x 16cm, that's a breeding tank........after 2 days he agreed it's 30" x 16".............it's your tank you plonk........

[Feral007]

It is the start of the school year here Sarz - but I don't do that New Years thing of ringing people. Was nice to see the year in with some locals, go home, fb happy new years, so I didn't have to do it later in the day
My rant............when you have to move a policeman from a town because he is sooooo unpopular, don't send the b*gger here! We used to like our police. They were there for a reason, and were actually people? Now, everyone is distressed. I'm sorry his wife left him ( altho she may have had good reason!) but please don't let him take it out on all of us!

It's a pain in the arse having to convert between the two all the time though, we should settle on one or the other. I have to convert between them daily in my work, but was mainly schooled in metric and was a bit lost at first. Imperial measurements were taught briefly as a sort of side note.

To cover ourselves we had to see a current Hygiene certificate and public liability insurance, some of which comes with Product Liability, but we didn't insist on crafters have Product Liability. We carried it ourselves for the chocolate because, with food, it's so much easier to be blamed for a consumer's problem.

Rant: lemon/pale yellow coloured cotton velvet.....I only want a FQ but it's impossible to find.

payng for the trains?

Just listening to Jeremy Vine re:train fares and the minister who thinks the motorist should pay .......


Don't want to cause heated discussions, but this has really got my back up, I don't even use the train,if I tried to use the train to get to work I'd have to get to the local station(by car probably) pay to park, take a train to MK, then a train back to northampton(no direct route from where I live) and then about 3 buses to get me anywhere near where I work..........don't think that's very viable and would cost me 6 times as much as using the car!!!!!

What a load of coswallup this minister is yet another one who doesn't live in the real world,

Happy new year folks, here we go again!!!!

Sorry rant over....

[OverWyreGrower]

Sodding colds which sneak up on you within 24 hours, leaving you unable to breathe or sleep....

It's not flu, but it's blinking uncomfortable and I'm constantly sneezing/blowing my nose and I've had less than 4 hours sleep because of it.

Humph.

This claims to be lemon: Product

Yes I'd love to promote your program but I hate the website you expect me to do it on. I've spent an hour now banging my head. I've never managed to find how to apply for a program on this site - and I suspect you don't know how to do it either otherwise you'd tell me.
