Smelly people. What the feck is all that about? How much does soap and deodourant cost?!

There's a bloke who pushes round the refreshments trolley at work, and he absolutely stinks. Shouldn't be allowed anywhere near food.

If you've got that disease that makes you smell of fish or whatever, then fair enough, but smelling of sweat, dirty clothes, booze and fags combined doesn't make me want to buy a pasty.

Countrywide Mortgage, John German and my solicitors. All will now be known as young men who should burn in hell.

I may as well have taken £1250 and tipped it down the drain thanks to their incompetence. Waste of time and stress. If I had hair it would surely have all been pulled out by now. However thanks to them I am now out of pocket and without a nice new farking home I, and the other two, could call our own.

silly billys. I'll get them, don't you worry.

Isn't house hunting/buying/being gazumped fun?

I hate growing up and having responsibilities

Having some stupid sloany woman park her pushchair right behind you in the queue in Tesco at lunchtime so her little brat can kick you in the legs.
Turning round and giving her a dirty look and having her apologise profusely only for her to do exactly the same thing 20 seconds later.
Not wishing to make a scene, so moving forward a pace.
Having her do it again when you're just about to put your stuff down to pay, turning round and telling her that it's now been three times now, just for her to pathetically whimper, "William, don't do that," and to offer you some excuse about him having been to hospital and therefore missing his afternoon nap so he's "a bit out of sorts", rather than doing the sensible thing, i.e. moving back a bit and bollocking the nipper.
Suggesting that maybe she "should move back a bit" only for the stupid cow to sarcastically reply, "Alright then, I'll do that!" with a stupid intended-to-be-condescending grin on her stupid jolley-hockeysticks face.
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you should have turned round with a satisfied grin, a bead of eager spittle dribbling from your mouth, and said "don't worry ma'am, i love the feeling of little boys rubbing 'gainst my calves" :quagmire:

i'm sure she would have moved pretty sharpish then :v:

Not really a rant, but I have an exam later and I don't know what to do with myself I think I'm going to be sick. That's it really :meh:

My entire lounge in my 100 year old brand new house is covered with soaking wet damp walls. Lived with it for 3 months and it sucks. I've heard of rising damp but this takes the piss (excuse the pun). It's rose nearly 2 meters from the floor since i've been there. There's only so much hiding a 3 and a 2 piece sofa can do!

did anything come up on your survey?

sorry to state the obvious, you need to get someone in to look at it.

that would seem to be very quick moving damp....youre not sinking are you?

Here's one.

Why oh why do people think that because their suitcase has got wheels on it they can't pick it up.

At Victoria yesterday loads of trains had been delayed/cancelled and it was rammed full of people. Some dozy cow comes through the small gap between me and the next miserable commuter with a tiny suitcase on wheels, which proceeds to get stuck behind my foot. As a matter of principle I stood and watched what she's do without moving (there was nowhere for me to go anyway) and she just turned and looked at it, as if by some act of telekinesis she could make it hop over my trainer. Having realised she didn't actually have magical powers she decided just to kind of yank it and hope for the best. No apologies or nuffink. Stupid cow. The amount of times that's happened! JUST PICK IT UP! Only a small thing, but it happens so much in London. Perhaps it's because I've got big feet.

And umbrellas! Don't get me started on umbrellas. Within 30 seconds of walking out of Oxford Circus on Saturday afternoon I'd been poked in the head 3 times. IF YOU CAN'T BE ARSED TO WATCH WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH IT, DON'T CARRY IT! I reckon they should introduce umbrella tests so you have to have a licence to carry one, like you do to drive a car.

Anyway, here's the nurse with my tablets.

cookie - I erm... pressed on with buying the house and kind of skipped the survey part out. They had given the walls a quick lick of paint just before we moved in as I noticed that straight away when I opened the front door for the first time. They were canny bastards. I look at it this way, the repair hopefully won't cost too much more than £1000 which sort of equals the same price of a good survey which I might of paid for telling me the house has a damp problem, as long as we don't have anything else go wrong I'm kind of even. I would of bought the house anyway with or without damp I guess. Hopefully gettin some company in asap to check it out.

The first time I saw her I sniggered a bit. Every time since then I've sat stony faced, wishing the sofa would grow teeth and bite my arse off, just for a bit of entertainment.
