merledogs Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 JUst heard on the radio that there was a light aircraft crash near you Nothing to do with me bending over in the garden with my builders bum showing cos my shorts are hanging off, honest guv Seeing as I'm working from home today, I haven't been out gardening and putting water retaining gel in the tubs, nope not me. Neither am I about to mow the lawn again. RMF : Dogs just started barking - someone at the door. Normally I don't bother opening it if I don't know who it is, but I could see it was a woman and I'm in a mood to vent about whether they could read the big flippin' sign that says DO NOT KNOCK. It was a chavvy teenager with a scratty old sponsorship form, and did I want to give her some money for something she had already done blah blah blah. Now call me old fashioned, but since when were kids allowed to go begging on complete strangers' doorsteps for money? a) It's asking for trouble if they knock on the wrong door and b) why would I give money to a random teenager when I have no idea who she is and what she is going to do with the money?

merledogs Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Seeing as I've asked for my account on the other forum to be closed anyway, I let rip at the person who had upset me (apparently I'm not the first, he is known for it). I may have mentioned the words "condescending, arrogant, little man and know-it-all" along with a "HOW DARE YOU". Aaahhh, feel better now Can you tell I'm hormonal?

Jacobean Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Good evening Have achieved diddly squat today. Now know how my boss feels. Have been panic problem solving all day. Mrs B tell them to do one. You asked for permission before you traipsed through the hall. You've done nothing wrong. If it's voluntary it's a disgusting way to treat someone who is helping them out. Where is the gratitude for you having put yourself out for them? Alex what a dickhead. Must finish assignment tonight as it's rattling round my head and getting on my nerves.

Mommy Bear Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Help !!! I'm recording all my CDs onto the 'puter. I am then putting them on a shelf. So far so good. BUT do I arrange them by artist's first name or second. Eva Cassidy under E or C Dire Straights under D 'cos its a group's name The Best of Kenny Ball T, B or K Ella and Louis E or L and so on. Am incapable of making the decision. What do you think (I suppose I could put them under the Album Title but then I'd never find who I was looking for) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am incapable of making the decision. What do you think (I suppose I could put them under the Album Title but then I'd never find who I was looking for) I would put individuals under their surname, so Kenny Ball would still be under "B" Groups by first letter of group name. Ignore "The" (as in the who and the Jam) Ella and Louis, same as groups, E for Ella. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 B for Ball Funny that cos I thought of Barbara straight away Alicia. Glad you 2 have had a nice day out together .

houndzrus Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Have two days manning a stall at Caerphilly Big Cheese and think I will be suitably knackered on Monday. have fun! What a n*b Mrs B i agree if it was voluntary tell them to s*d off and if not, just do as sanrosscot says people get so ar*ey about the most strange things i agree. I can't see why you are being asked to apologise when you asked permission? Seeing as I'm working from home today, I haven't been out gardening and putting water retaining gel in the tubs, nope not me. Neither am I about to mow the lawn again. Have achieved diddly squat today. Now know how my boss feels. Have been panic problem solving all day. I hate days like that. Glad this week is over, but it's such a relief knowing Cherry is ok. Wondering whether to have a glass of wine. Decisions, decisions..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) I've had chinese, which was possibly not the best idea as I've just realised that the bloatedness I've been feeling all day is my diverticulitis flaring up. The flu symptoms and pain have started. I' m on as well, and I have a bad back. Am feeling a bit bleurgh Edited July 29, 2011 by merledogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 Martyn has gone out with his chums again. He's called round for them tonight. I did say I don't get why you don't just meet them in the pub. He said yes I know it's like we're little kids or something. Hmm yes little do you know I've been saying as much on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khanu Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I was helping out with an event (actually, without dogs, so that was probably my first mistake) and at the end of it had to take some stuff back to a Hall, to go in room off the main Hall. When I went in I discovered there was a children’s party going on, which no-one had warned me about in advance, so, I left my (male) helper outside, went and found a female who looked like they knew what they were doing, asked if it was OK to take the stuff through – got the OK, we took everything through in one go, shutting the door to the side room behind us while we put everything away, walked back through the Hall, exchanging pleasantries with one of the guys who was helping out who spoke to us first, neither of us spoke to any of the children ………………… and a complaint has been put in that we walked through a children’s party without asking permission “and it’s gone higher”. I'm confused as to how walking through a room of kids that were supervised by others can possibly be a hanging offence. My apology would be along the lines of I'm sorry that the permission I gained before entering the hall was apparently insufficient. I'm sorry that those supervising the party who felt it inappropriate that I enter the hall couldn't have said anything at the time. I'm sorry if my entering the hall traumatised any of the children, but have to confess that I'm more sorry that it appears we need to shut children away from society making it impossible for them to learn to how to socialise and interact with anyone who isn't their own age. I'm perhaps most sorry that life has come to such a point that someone entering a hall occupied by some children having actually obtained permission before doing so, is then vilified and forced to write a ridiculous apology. Suffice to say I will no longer be offering my services when I will later then be forced to apologise for helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
