Write a rant

I had never heard of a local resilience forum before --

and yes guessing the letter to each number is the kind I mean - although my friend did get confused when she thought that there were 28 numbers

I thought you meant you did it like the boys in Bottom, where you put any words that fit in.

you don't want to enlighten me then

Hi 

Generalising but it is a rant

No 1 

Is train etiquette.  In Glasgow every one stands back till the last women or man or Kid is off the train , it makes life easier.  Every now again someone between the age of 50 to 90 year old male decides he is having none of it and barges on the train.  And yes I do get train rage when someone does this and say something not in a rage.  Usually along the lines it is manners to let someone out first before you enter a building or Train,  there old of enough to know.  There also usually the same ones that give young people dirty looks, even though it is them been rude.  

On a good train etiquette rant .  I was looking after a friends baby and two 18 years old decided to help with the pram over the bridge. They were very keen.  So keen that I did,nt have the heart to tell them because they were so fast and helpful it was the wrong side .  I missed my train , but they made my day.  I was helped back over. 

Mothers dropping the kids to school in 4 by 4 and then insisting because of the software in the car they can see everything.  The only problem the kids cant see by them  and they are always parked in dangerous areas for the kids so they can not safely cross the road. They also seemed to think they have the god given right to park on the pavement and  for some reason , there seems to be a dress code that they must have large sun glasses with dye hair and large handbag with dangling keys and look as if there off to the races.  

They actually pull off the road? Wow, you're lucky.

One guy whom I always seem to get stuck behind just stops in the middle of the road to let out his charges. The kids just open all the doors and jump out into the traffic.

I always wait patiently behind him, but there was a bad accident the other week when someone passed a car doing the same thing and then swung left into the school car park ... just as the stopped car decided to move off. I don't know if it was the same guy or somebody different.

There are a few decent sized car parks in the school grounds, and lots of layby's, but it is still chaos on a morning, and it surprises me that there are not more accidents outside schools.

They are called Codewords, and I love them too!

So do I

I believe mauahmed has been all over the site leaving little ads today

Overlooking for a moment how lazy you've just been with the "AW" abbreviation.  I completely agree about the advertising.

Now, if anyone needs any accounting & tax services, send me a private message...

Driving back from Goodwood Revival yesterday I came to the conclusion that the BMW X5 is actually at the heart of everything that is bad in the world just now! It is the size of a panza tank and must require the equivalent of an African republics' GDP to build and run. There is no design quality apparent, looking as it does like a ginormous slab of volcanic larva and performance and handling must be glacial.

So who buys one? I know people are getting fatter but you would have to be one ginormous lard-ass to need a BMW X5. Presumably not someone with children as you couldn't possibly see a small child wandering around your reversing behemoth.

I conclude it is people who care about nothing and no one in their quest for consumptive satisfaction. 

Someone who has far too much money and wants to dramatically increase their chances of survival in a serious road accident? :-)

jobsworths who refuse to talk and quote data protection at you when you don't need them to talk, just listen!!

No not HMRC but the head office of a health insurance company when all I needed to say was talk to your colleagues at the local hospital as you have the wrong information.

listening to a lecture ( which was very good ) that showed so many increases and decreases you begin to feel like Alice

I had a lovely holiday arranged to South Africa with my darling girlfriend where we were set to spend the beginning of december relaxing in the sun. this was only to be dismissed my manager who told me that holidays must not be taken in the month end reporting period. This is hell! seriously want to leave but can't risk it in the current job climate. FML!!
