Bit of googling shows I'm not the chosen one. :sad:

She wants to give someone 2.5million US dollars for safe keeping until she gets back...  :laugh: 

You could always contact her and offer your bank account.  I'm sure she'd trust you with the money, given that she obviously has an interest.

I don't like people advertising for "fast sale" and then not replying to texts or calls...  You'd have a fast sale if you picked up the phone!! :laugh:

I don't like drivers who pull out on you when there is a massive gap in the traffic behind you!

Happened to me today on a merger, nothing at all behind me yet they just HAD to try and get infront of me - undertook me (kinda - was on a 2 lane main road...) to try and get into the 'gap' (use that term loosely) infront and just indicated. I didn't let them as they had come from behind me and their lane merged into mine for a bus lane...... why do people think getting that 1 car length is so important. (If i was to let them in, i would have had to essentially break pretty hard to let them in.) Pointless IMO hate them type of people who feel they're more important and need to be infront!!! Rant over haha - better calm it before my 250 mile trip tonight :whistling:

 

 

Soo it turns out that the college have been emailing me since 9th March.

They even sent me copies of the emails.

Whilst they have been emailing someone called Sean...it wasn't me...:angry:

I don't like finding a good 4X4 estate at a bargain price only for the seller not to bother responding to any messages or calls.  He could have sold it by now if he had returned my call this morning!  Ah well, his loss.

I don't like coming home from duty to find my kitchen and bathroom flooded.

Wifey put the washing machine on before heading to work and a blockage in the main grey water drain pipe backed everything up through the sinks and shower trap.

Deep joy :angry:

I don't like finding out the army base up the road(it actually is at the end of the road) is being sold off for 600 houses.  First most people heard about it, hopefully there will be the chance to appeal the buildings, as our town is big enough + struggles enough as it is.  Whoever makes these decisions needs 10 rounds laying into them.  I'm not putting a massive essay, I Will save that for an appeal lol.  Really wound up about this

I don't like that I just had "engine systems fault" appear on the focus.... I turned it off waited, turned on, warning gone, driving fine then warning back on - no turbo power, no turbo whine. Got into menu, no fault codes :/ turned off and on again, and turbo back to normal... At my destination now but :/ I dare say it's going to happen on the way back :/ oil OK, water OK. Temperature OK.... :'(

I don't like leaving a diesel saturated glove in my pocket in the wash...  Whole load stinks of diesel now, fml lol. 

Snorers.

It's 4am, I was woken up by what I thought was someone being brutally murdered with a chain saw around 2 hours ago. Wouldn't complain if I'd had more than 2 hours sleep!

I've now got dressed and laid in the unit wardroom on my own.

And yet I'm still expected to teach rowing all day - then no doubt have a repeat performance for Saturday & Sunday nights.

Oh, and I've got the drive home from Lincoln with 3 cadets in the car.

Looking/thinking about looking for a new job.  All the reasons for me wanting to find a new job are they're, just can't seem to press that Microsoft Word button and draw up a CV.  Trouble is I've got to give a months notice here & it's only 5 minutes down the road(7 in traffic).  I don't want to work on the system I'm on at the moment & ideally I'd like my old job back but hey ho.

Sounds like a similar situation to the one that I am/was in.  You've just got to do it - even if you don't send it to any employer it is good to have a CV typed up and ready, so what have you got to lose?  At least make a draft.

I'm still thinking about it lol.  Trouble is no matter what farm I work at, I'll always be moaning about it, because it won't be done my way.  If I did leave I'd like to go back self employed, so much easier and better + earned more money.  Don't have the funds at the moment & even with a government backed start up loan, I'm unsure as to whether they would fund a farming venture  

My plane being delayed by over 2 hours and being stuck in Heathrow...

Could be worse...  You could be in a plane getting blown about by this wind and crashing... :tongue: 

Yeah well it would be more exciting! :laugh:

Delayed further until 13:10 now...we are betting that it hasn't even left Germany yet. :wallbash:

I don't like the fuel gauge hitting empty after only 320 miles...   Mind you, what can you expect from an automatic V6 4x4?

I don't like getting angry over things outwith my control, and the effect it has on my blood pressure.  At least my good friend Mr. Bell is helping to calm me down :wink:

Ironically alcohol raises blood pressure....

Oh he was talking about Whisky!  Thought it seemed a little inappropriate for this site. :unsure:

Indeed it does!  Hasn't stopped me yet, though.

I did think about that after I posted it, but assumed most people would catch on that I was talking about Bell's whisky... :wink:

I don't like the realisation after a week of not worrying about money, that I'm actually broke again.  The joys!!  I also don't like the fact that this is the penultimate day of my holidays.  Give me strength...
