Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Absolutely keep the children informed. I was around 12 when mum was diagnosed with breast cancer (1960) and neither me or my younger brother was told. She had a mastectomy but the cancer came back as lung cancer when I was 15. We were told nothing and had no idea how ill she was or that it was terminal until she was admitted to hospital for end of life care. It was a great shock that she went into hospital and died there.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Today I've spent 7 hours driving to and from work. 102 miles in total. I sat for over an hour on the M25/A1 roundabout. If people stopped smashing their cars into each other causing gridlock I'd be most grateful.

Junkies broke in to our site container and stole all the drills and most of the toolboxes. They left my tools thankfully but took my drill

Electorates the world over.
You can't trust the people to come up with a sensible name for a boat. What makes you think they can choose sensibly on Brexit, or even POTUS? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The human race. Embarked on the route to self annihilation. I'm not optimistic about our survival beyond the next 5 years.

Trump.
If there was anything left still good in the US it is now gone down the toilet. (along with the dollar and the stock market)

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Rant Mode On..
****ing Tyre Leader!! And breathe - ordered a set of PR4's on the 1st of the month. MOT due 16th. My current tyres are getting low however not too low yet - Rear one however has had a temp repair for about 6 months and thousands of miles later. Probably an MOT fail then. Guess what, front tyre arrives the next day - cracking service. Now where's the one I need?? Give it a day or two, post a ticket on their website - two days later they get back to me, "We have requested an update from the courier". I allow another 48hrs, send another ticket. I wait again. "It looks like your tyre has been mislaid". NO ****ING ****. Wait another two days or so. Brings us to now. Tyre Leaders reply, "We can sent you out another tyre however the carrier is booked up and would be about another 9 days". Come on what the Absolute ****. ******s. Last time I order a tyre from them. Rant mode off... |

So we went back to the site, then only a few minutes later we see one of the guys going in to his flat, just across the road from our site! So we went over and could see him in the window and more of our tools sitting in his kitchen. We made him bring it all out but a few drills were still missing, including mine. Police came out later and arrested him. He had only recently been released from jail, so he will be going straight back I'm guessing. Scumbags |
