That's the only thing. I don't know if it is. It's **** because you wake up and BANG at work ffs

 
I've done lots of camp-on-site jobs.

Great in the summer. I've done 14 hour days doing that. As you say, you wake up and start work  Great way to earn a lot of money quickly, but only for a few days at a time.

 
I imagine its because it takes a month for the scotch to get over the amount of alcohol they have over xmas.
:shakehead

its SCOTS

scotch is a type of whisky

Packing to work away

Working away but instead of having the details of a local b nd b they've booked me into get given an air bed and told "you are able to sleep on site the house is empty"

Working away when the missus is up the duff and wanting to spend as much time at home as poss but wanting to earn money. Life is good but so **** ATM!
Fk that, where's the pub?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

and I've worked away a LOT,!!!!!!

 
It is written in The Great  Book of Unchallengable Rights of Mankind  , which list things like the speed of light cannot alter and cannot be exceeded and includes , in section 2  , para 4 , sub title End of Year Panic Mode,  the edict.............All jobs still running in the 2nd week of December MUST be finished before Christmas in a mad crazy panic of overtime and out of hours working which will effectivly prevent the workforce from doing any Christmas shopping or leaving for their Christmas break  until the evening of Christmas Eve .

Xmas supermarket adverts

People who try to Pimp really carp cars

people who start to slow down 1m before  road junctions

being asked if I am OK by some passing orange pinnied worker who has never seen me before as i walk through BnQ to amuse myself at their prices

being asked if I am alright by some uninterested shop assistant

cold feet

cold neck

being treated like something off the bottom of your shoe by a Doctors receptionist

serve yourself express checkouts in supermarkets.....your shopping should be cheaper FFS if you use these

unrecognised item in bagging area

car park machines that do not give change BUT are set at a stupid rate

petrol stations advertising fuel at £XX.99p.............99p   FFS,  how does that work? advertising in a unit of currency that does not exist

secondary selling

stupid effected childrens names

pronouncing RALPH  as  RAIF

tossers in the wholesalers spouting ***** and wearing 700000000 tools on their new utility belt

I am sure there will be a couple more examples.......

Oooh this reminds me..... the modern 'trend' (among the perpetually tasteless anyhow) of double barrelling surnames on the occasion of marriage. I used to work with a Helen Adams-Brown ffs get a f***ing life!

Whats going to happen when this generations children grow up and want to get married? Will they have to double barrel their double barrelled surnames? So Helen Adams Browns kids may well end up being Chantelle Adams-Brown-Forsden-Mohammed?

I hope they all end up going to live in Baden-Baden-Baden-Baden :slap

My neighbours are unbelievably noseyWhen my daughter was pregnant with our first granddaughter we always used to refer to the bump as Chardonay. Mercedes

Daughter comes to ours, puts baby in pushchair and we set off for a walk.

Neighbour comes out "oh is this little. Chardonay Mercedes?, what a beautiful name"

Daughters reply..."NO this is ???.?? Why did you think it was Chardonay Mercedes"

 
Been taking the good lady out tonight doing a bit more Christmas shopping.......

now I can cope with Christmas shopping..

(I don't have to go.. I choose to go so cant really moan about it!)

But I DO HATE TWATS who walk around shops.. (especially clothes shops)

eating takeaway food while putting their grubby greasy fingers all over the clothes we are expected to buy off the racks....

EAT YOUR RUDDY FOOD OUTSIDE BEFORE YOU COME IN THE SHOPS  FFS!!!!!!!

(why don't the shop staff tell them to clear off until they have finished eating!?)

AND

the morons who open up the packaging of some product to have a look at it..

AND then don't close it back up how they found it!!!!!

X(

 
People who think that as they know your neighbours cousin you are going to jump at the chance to put their nightmare installation right (it was done by a PROPER electrician ) for a cup of tea and a tenner ... Tomorrow before the surveyor arrives

And agree on lighting terminals that are made of cheese

OH Yesssss  I have hated the Raif thing for years , I 'm sure theres another one floating round.

 And the young warriors at the wholesale counter , as you say , 7 million tools dragging them the floor , with their NICEIC logo'd  baseball caps , tool vests, polo shirts,  work trousers of 1000 pockets  and the final curse .........................fingerless gloves .

 
I don't do shopping but I will go to Cosco. What does annoy me is people who pick things up then a mile round the store just dump them where they feel as they have decided they now don't want that item. Its then staff job to replace them in the correct place. Total twats. Some young woman did it near the tills the last time I was there I did say to my missus loudly about it but the said woman just didn't care.

 
B & Q customer service attitude

Bought a kitchen off them a couple of years ago. Solid oak, reall nice looking and good quality. Bought it on an offer and then they had to standby another discount promotion which they had sort of forgotten about PLUS tradepoint discount......so,it was a no brainer.

Last night, big BANG, dogs having a fit. Went downstairs expecting burglars.

Top shelf of pull out larder unit had dropped down, hit the next shelf AND domino effect trashed the freaking lot

Their guarantee was. 10 years, took a shelf back to store. BUT because I had fitted it (ffs its not rocket science nailing wooden boxes to walls is it?). Warranty is only 12 months.!!! I was given the standard silent treatment as they waited for me to committ myself or admit to summat i had not done. Asked them the manufacturer so,i could take it up,with them.....not interested, could or would not tell me!

Basically it is a design flaw, glass wood and plastic shelf held onto steel frame by two cracious clips. Clips breaks, shelf drops.

So tomorrow it is into the workshop and blether a solution together

So in summary, B & Q after sales service if you DIY is F all

I am now off to hammer their customer reviews section

Just fuming
