Shopping in stores that have multiple staff doing Home Delivery Orders. Its bad enough with pensioners and mothers with young kids screaming running amok. But in recent years rhe added pleasure of Home Delivery massive trollys being operated by staff with little regard for the normal shopper blocking aisles as the chat away to each other leaving trolleys in front of shelves or fridges so you cannot see whats in them. Some of these stores are 24 hour opening do the shops in the quiet times. Store cold and frozen foods away from store floor.

Rant over....

Sadly both the painter and the landscape guy are Hispanic... whether they are Mexican or not, I'm not sure.

The first painter I called was Greek for what it's worth.

Same here. I guess as they are doing this pretty much for 8 hours a day they know where everything is and seem to be on some kind of time schedule like that supermarket game show.

Maybe they should fit their carts with flashing blue lights like an emergency vehicle so we can all get out of their way as the zip around the store.

As for Landscape guy - totally gone AWOL. Not answering his phone today.

What if I was still working and had to take time off to meet this guys... painful.

Oh, and I forgot... still no response from the blinds company.


These contractors bite off more than they can chew. Never admit that they are too busy. If they're not punctual for an estimate, imagine what your chances are of them showing up on the scheduled date to start the gig. Especially if they've received a down payment. Co-vid will be blamed to get an extra few quid out of you. "Price of materials innit."
They'll be constantly robbing Pete to pay Paulie. Taking paint from your house to do the old dolls porch up the road. And then, when you run out of patience with them half way through the job they use the old death card.
"Me old gran, she was hundred and seven and we was real close. I'll be gone for a month. By the way I can get materials cheaper up where she's from. Got another grand?"

Hedgehog 23-11-2021 05:43 PM

Well painter number 2 did show up at 4:45, so I guess in his mind was early!

He said all the right things, and I want him to do the work, but he can't start for another 3 weeks (Yeah right - see bbJ's post above). Also wanted my email address to send an estimate, which I texted him straight away. Let's see how long we have to wait for that.

Still no sign of the landscape guy or a response from the blinds people.

Blind_Eagle 23-11-2021 06:41 PM

I’ve now been waiting for an operation on my hand for just over 18 months, understandable due to covid, but finally I was given a date for my pre-assessment which is scheduled for tomorrow.

Except I’m not now, I’ve just had a call cancelling it with no alternative date available as yet. Obviously this means that my operation has also been cancelled.

As an aside, my wife has been waiting for a blood test for seven weeks now and it has been cancelled 5 times and she hasn’t even got a new date for the 6th attempt. Apparently they haven’t got any yellow capped blood vials.

Thank god we saved the NHS or things could be really bad. :)

My late dad (who FWIW was Irish) would say pants and thus I have inherited the practice. When I get pulled up on it I generally retort with . . so why do we call our undies underpants?

Why is only this use of get so annoying?

What does to get mean? It’s a very flexible verb and usually replaces a more appropriate verb. (I got home at 8 - I arrived home at 8, which is more appropriate?)

I realise thinking about the many and varied uses of get won’t make this particular use of it any less annoying, but it is a bit irrational and really shouldn’t annoy anyone based on our multiple usage of get in other circumstances.

Forget half of the educational syllabus, and introduce practical lessons so that when I make the noise of the Six Million Dollar Man, they don't look at me like I've got a problem.

A few years ago I was having a 1:1 with one of my direct reports. At the end of each 1:1 we used to have a little social chat. She said she was going to see The Saturdays that Saturday. I asked her if she was going to see The Sundays the day after. She gave me the blankest of looks.

Kiddo is predominantly north of England and was chanted by the wankers for many years. I've spent over 40 years in the States and have never heard any one called Dogo. Dago yes, but Dogo no.
The sticking of a vowel on the end of the name seems to have started during the dumbing down of English football in the 70's and 80's. Instead of interesting nicknames like the 'flying pig,' the Preston plumber' or Yogi Bear you have gum munchers like Sam and Harry going on about "Davo was massive tonight, as was Gazza and Keano" etc Dubliners have taken the sticking the 'O' on a name to a new level.
It's like when a British ex-pat smugly nudges his mate and smirks when a yank says the word 'Saaccher". The ex-pat who usually has never kicked a ball in his life straightaway feels a surge of superiority over the yank, who was an all star College player and now has eight caps for the U.S.
If you go back twenty years before football was invented by Sky you will find that the word 'soccer' was widely used in the English media and prior to the Big Match we had "Star Soccer." So anyway let's "Move On"

I rather like "My bad"... it is rather appropriate as it's always my fault.

Oi, don't forget Gaelic. Your mate still watches these boards you know. He won't be pleased.

He's more Ing-er-lish than me. Anyway, I was talking about public school Victorian toffs who I doubt would of been that interested in GAA sports (or Aussie Rules for that matter).

Auctioneers who speak in that absolutely ludicrous patter style where they roll all their rrrrrrs and you can’t hear what they’re saying.

In particular, the daft Home Counties bint on the television right now who is spoiling my enjoyment of Christina Trevannion.

Daughters who "yeah yeah yeah yeah" you when showing them how to maintain their motor scooters and what the warning lights all mean...and then seize the engine of said motor scooter because they havent cheked the oil and ignored the red warning light.

I believe you are a decendent of the Bermondsey-Faministas, who in Vicky's time were referred to as the Low Irish. They were fond of the odd game of GAR, were good spellers and very well respected:hi:

I watched that too this morning. Very annoying and adds absolutely nothing to an auction.

McAfee Security Scans... And I appreciate I should just uninstall the damn thing, but that's not the point really. It should be able to do a job and do in unobtrusively and only when I set the scan to run, but no it has to run itself at the most inopportune times and grind the computer to a stuttering halt while doing so in the background... only to pop up saying it didn't find anything, but I really should upgrade to their premium plan to make my computer more secure.

Despite my best efforts in the settings screen to only scan once a week at a specific time, it still does its thing every day.

Wank stain of a software.
