General Chat

I'll send you something for the cat.......

In some ways, I agree with Eldrick, especially from the countryside point of view.
But, as a towny, small town, I would also like to see them banned.
The world and it's wife, also children,both post and pre school, and husbands that suddenly found they had the day off, and thought they would go along and help the little wifey with the shopping, were in M*****sons this morning, shopping for the four day seige. My God, you had never seen anything like it. It was akin to the 14 day mammoth shop at Christmas.
I saw men in there, that I have never seen in my life in there before 'helping'. What!!!. All I saw where imbeciles blocking up the veggie isle, which is the escape route in case of fire,God help us, we would be fried alive.
Then, gawd 'elp us Holy Moly. There they were, leaning on the trolly whilst the little wifey emptied it onto the conveyer belt, than dashed to the front to load it all up again, in bags.
Message to Missisess. Please leave the idle B*****d at home and go on your own, after all ,you are used to it, and can probably do it alot quicker by yourself, without him taking up floor space, in an overcrowded heaving supermarket, on a Bank Holiday.
Then lo and behold, the Lottery Counter. Woman in front told she needs another pound. Turns to husband to ask, he nonchalontly (sp), rummages in his pocket, dirty tissue,couple of odd one pences, dog end or two,and fluffy Fishermans Friend etc, and no, he hasn't go a £1.
"Here me duck" I said, "have this one on me". "Are you sure" she said. "Believe me me duck, after queuing on the food tills, I am not queing here while you see if you can muster up a £1.". Phew, let me escape and have a fag.
Am I getting old, intolerant, or irrascible just because I have a throbbing corn.
May the dear Lord preserve us and saves us from Bank Holidays, and the Seige Mentality. Anybody would think there was a war on. LOLOL

PS. I am kind hearted, really

There is absolutely no excuse for people letting their dogs off the lead near livestock, I would shoot them myself ( the owners not the dogs :)) ) . But then as my brother often says 99% of the population is thick ...lol and he's the tolerant one of the family ;)

And why oh why do people still stock up for a seige at the supermarkets in these days of open all hours anyway? and why are (most) women surprised that they require their purse to pay with and then rummage for it at the bottom of a bottomless bag....

:))

What are those ski stick things all about anyway ? I spotted a couple walking up a country lane near here earlier today ( when we nipped out to the garden center ) wielding ski sticks , seemed a bit like over-kill to me as they where on a tar-maced lane in Norfolk .

My guess regarding the ignorant types who park over gates etc , they are the same ones who park on a road leaving a big gap ( but not quite big enough for another car ) in the line of parked vehicles .........to busy thinking of themselves no doubt.

Yeah, ski sticks. What fid they do before they were popular? Oh, map cases round the neck are another fashion accessory. You see people wallking along the roman wall, not a bend for 70 miles, noses in their maps, lol. And with enough survival gear to last a month at the South Pole.

Then there's the other branch, who go into the hills in trainers and a matalan jacket. And we end up going up at night on a quad bike to rescue them.

They should need a licence and have to sit a test before going further than their local Netto.

*cough* OH has a ski stick....lmao

We used to find walkers sitting on our doorstep which opened onto a field, and they were surprised when I warned them to move because I wanted to let the dog out! A particularly unfriendly to strangers alsatian.!

its a townie thing me thinks.......lots do it.metal pic of the time mountain john was ferreting ,and a couple stood watching.....um whats he doing dear.....she soon found out when the rabbit hit the net ,john sorted the rabbit shoved the ferret in his pocketand zipped it up and rolled his net up.the woman nearly fainted lolol

Love it !!!!

and what about them empty rucksacks on the way up an full on the way down full of wall stones,,,,,,!!

anyway do you give them a drink of water El when they come to the door or do you send them in direct of the river with a enamal mug on a string,:}}}}}

well joy

the further down the hole the ferret gets the better lol

Or you can live in a smallish rural town that happens to be on the route to these long weekend destinations, it can take up to 20 minutes just to get accross the road when out walking the dog (on his lead) and for some reason city drivers seem to think they don't need to use their indicators once they are in the countryside.

I agree totaly , but my bone of contention are the lycra clad warriors of our country roads , the cycling clubs , don,t get me wrong each to their own , but why insist on riding two or even three abreast with no consideration for motorists , who seem to have consideration for them.
A light amble through our woodlands , are suddenly turned into another viking raid with hordes of these people screaming down forest paths frightening children and animals alike , hurling abuse if you don,t get out of their way .
ah well
igor

I know how you feel!
Aussies seem to have greater respect for private property, so we dont see idiots going for rambles around our farms, but the hordes of morons in their Toorak Tractors and unlicenced unregistered, open exhaust trail bikes, invade us here every long weekend. They all believe that road rules cease to exist as soon as they leave the tarmac! And the fools think we are all available 24 hours a day to pull them out of the river when they inevitably get bogged!


xxxxx mick

I wouldn't ban bank holidays.

Just the bad weather & the railway engineering works that accompanies them. lol

:o)))
