Well you should not be speeding :nono: :lol:

Slow down and give them a nice wave when you past them, they will hate that

Well it's your own bloody fault then isn't it and you've got the cheek to blame the traffic wardens?

I bet you park in disabled spaces too :thumbsdown:

Yup, my fault. And yup, if I see 40 disabled spaces with no one parked in one, I will use one. Big deal.

I also donate to charity, and buy stuff for a local hospital ward. Big deal.

Swings and roundabouts :)

I need a work related rant too!!!

So today I have my assistant downstairs crying, because my boss is 'being mean'... which basically means she's probably not doing her job properly/fast enough/efficiently and he's had enough. My boss keeps slamming his door, and as I'm in the office next door, I feel like my ears are bleeding! We have a truck just about ready to leave for a conference, only nothing is on it yet. Another boss away and ringing me to do an animation, only I don't have any of the files to do the animation because they are on his computer, which is also away... Argh!

I've had to start taking Calms, just to get through the day! haha. AND I was here until 9.30 last night (I'm meant to finish at 5.30) comforting the assistant as she feels like she has too much work to do... she clearly hasn't seen my desk or my schedule for the next 2months!

Then there is the whole 'Jessops have stole my camera for 4 weeks' thing... You'll like this one... I took my camera in because my focus settings aren't working properly. No matter which setting it is on (single, dynamic or auto) it only focuses on the very top left corner. So I walk in and explain this to the rather old checkout man... he responds with 'well, single focus is only meant to focus on one area, so there is nothing wrong with it'. Yes, it is meant to focus on one area... but the top left EVERY time!? I think not! Silly man!


Oh the stress... Pass me some more calms please! haha
 
Why do the UK "national" press refer to the "north" as being the area round Manchester (yesterday's Scottish edition of the Daily Mail, for example)?

Last time I looked at a map of the UK Manchester was quite far south.....:annoyed:

Sounds pretty awful :( Hows the job market in your field?

My turn....

Decided to treat my recently widowed father-in-law to a few days in France. He's never been abroad and never had a passport.

Out with the 5D and photo-shopped to size. Get my magistrate neighbour of 21 years who's seen him on his frequent visits to do the signing....application rejected...photo's too dark and magistrate doesn't know him well enough. 2 weeks wasted

Attempt #2
Take him to a booth that gives snaps "approved for passports" etc and send him home to get his doctor to sign the application. Photo's not acceptable and the doctor's endorsement not correct. Another 2 weeks wasted.

For the final attempt (if it's not too late) I'm going to dress him in a burka and hijab, change his name by deed poll to "Abdula Let Me'in" and see if I can find a non-corrupt MP to sign it.

I'd like to say "rant over" but I don't think that you've heard the end of this one.

Right, this is my rant for the day

I got my wheels out this morning and went for a scoot to see if i could get some pictures and i see about 4 people staying looking down the stream. So as i got there i see a duck standing there with one foot in the air (They are all looking at it) I said to them "Has that just happend? how did it happen?" "They said "dunno" So i said like is one of them going to phone or even walk around to the local RSPB place to see if they could sort it. They all mumbled and moaned and walked off mumbling. I hate people like that, sorry but i do. If they couldn't help an animal that is in need. Then they couldn't help a human.

One of them must have had a car and could have at least drove it around there to see what they could do

I would have done it but i couldn't get to where it was, but i am sure they could have.

I so wanted to shout out what they was to them, grr they annoy the crap out of me

:Rant over (i hope)

1. Pikey, young mums shopping where i work with out of control scrotes for children. 'DANNYYY, DANNNY COME EYYYA' or 'NO KAYLEIGH PUT THAT DOWN'. Control your bloody children.

2. Drivers. Now i am too young to drive, but a lot of drivers irritate me. The ones that drive so horribly slow when i want to cross the road and i have to wait for them to go past. The drivers who deserve to crash and get seriously hurt, who drive on the wrong side of the road at high speeds just to overtake another car. Please crash.

3. Chavs. I recently viewed the thread 'chav gets hurt haha' which led me to links on other chav related videos which really angered me. I recommend the thread above, and i would like to see a similar video for every chav scum, but with their neck under the concrete not just a leg. (view the video to see). I think chavs are the only evidence that supports abortion being legalised in some cases.

4. The bus company. I forgot my brothers oyster card today, so i had to walk home. I really hate walking.
You may say that i should just have my own bus pass. Yes i should, if the bus company actually sent it to me after i applied for it in february.

5. Polish newspapers being stocked in supermarkets?! Cmon now! At least enocourage them to learn english.

6. 'The Voice' - Black only newspaper. I'd like to see someone make a white only newspaper, imagine the uproar.
You may think it sounds pretty racist to slate a black newspaper, but i think that having a newspaper separately for black people just strengthens the racial divide in society. I want to see people completely integrate and not be seen by colour. There really seems to be a divide, and everyone is responsible for it.

/rants


I'm such an old man sometimes. But i'm in a happy mood now. I have a lot to look forward to. Oooh here comes another.

7. Teenagers who 'hate' their life. I'm fed up of hearing how some teenagers hate their lives. They do not appreciate how easy things are for them. I know of one or two people who have very hard situations, and they do not complain about it at all. Then theres the others who are spoilt and 'depressed' with their lives.
Enjoy life, this isn't a hard time. I hardly see school and exam stress as a big commitment.

People who over take me at 5.30am doing mach 3 when I am already doing the speed limit. If they need to drive that fast to get somewhere on time they need to leave earlier. ( I must point out that it is the same few cars most mornings)
