courtesy of Gillingham Football Club...can some please explain this logic to me... I exchanged an ST seat for a friends for a fiver voucher and the cash sum of £5, then the ticket office took the stub from the ST book. Why did I not just buy a friends for a fiver and not mention the ST...lol...that way I could have had an extra empty seat!
You know who I mean...... A couple of weeks ago nobody was home when a parcel was 'delivered' - or rather left with my neighbour ( despite my specific delivery instruction to the contrary ). When I got the parcel some of its' contents were broken ! ( probably in transit - but you never know ) About the same time there was an attempted break-in at my property. Last week I got the umpteenth unwanted Kleeneze catalogue ! ( I have tried talking to the operative, writing to the Company, telephone calls, emails - all to no avail - they still keep coming. Kleeneze say " just leave the catalogue on the doorstep " - I might as well put an advert in my local newspaper stating exactly when my property will be vacant ! Another 'giveaway' sign that an occupant is not at home are the free newspapers & pizza menus - which are only ever placed half way through the letter box - again letting all the burglars in the area, know that the house is empty. Today I decided to affix a notice to my front door - the kind used by a lot of people -"No junk mail, free papers / catalogues, pizza menus " I added " All parcels require MY personal inspection before acceptance." It seems that my neighbour must be watching me - no sooner was the notice on my door, than did I get a phone call from her - she witheld the number ( which I know - but not likely to use! ) It would appear that the note has made her paranoid - thinking that I wanted to let her know that I don't want her to be used by any courier who gets no reply from my premises. She then started to get nasty. I decided to cut off the call rather than to AGAIN listen to personal insults ( hand on heart I have not retaliated ). Of course she is partly right - inasmuch that I don't want parcels left with her - I don't want to pay for damaged goods & the hassle that goes with 'distance trading' & refunds. But in the light of recent events, I placed the notice as part of my overall security review. I have written a polite note to my neighbour - outlining my actions (not that it was any business of hers) - I explained that I was not being rude by curtailing the phone call - because I had no desire to listen to her personal insults, and couldn't trust myself not to reciprocate......... But ....... When do I tell her to 'Go Forth'?
As regards the Kleeneze brochure, they are delivered by agents. If you don't see him /her don't leave the catalogue out. Simply bin it, They will then come round at a time to find you in to ask for it,when you can tell them not to leave it again. Alternately, put it in a envelope,with a note giving your address and send it to the agent (if you can find their address) with NO stamp. They will then have to pay to get a package that they won't know the contents of til they get it.
Just seeing the latest news on men and suncreams...so I ask...am I a miracle...? I drink I smoke I didn't wear suncream when I was younger I love salt I love sugar I eat burgers I pay taxes I support the Gills Now obviously the most dangerous for your health in all that is the latter...so how the hell am I still alive...spooky Keep up the healthy lifestyles people you are doing your nation proud and you MIGHT even live to a greater age than me...
brb I know you hate being told what to do ..... however I have had a malignant melanoma & it is no fun having bit cut off you every few months for the best part of 5 yrs just in case! So please use sun cream .... it's a lot better than either dying or worrying for 5 years Lecture over
It's one of those issues where it is a lottery with loaded dice. You may be lucky, but when it hits you it's devastating. You buy house insurance? Look after yourself. Like I don't... oops (It's stress honest)
I respect your opinion and experience during what must have been an absolutely awful time for you minxy, beyond words. Yes, I must admit I am terrible for being told what I can and cannot do, but only by government interfering busy bodies, and the media as their propaganda machine. I do listen to real life people such as yourself, although I doubt anything will change me. I agree with what Steve347 states it is a loaded dice. From my prospective, it is who I am. Maybe once time catches up with me...I may look back with regret...although from my life experiences I doubt it...there are far worst things in life than a cigarette tip...although the natural human instinct of fear may kick in, when reality does its bit...but personally I live for today...tomorrow is just another day.
Yea sorry mate ..... bit of a rant .... you just hit a raw nerve but it is ****ty when you get a cancer diagnosis, whether you survive or not
Now I am aware that language is fluid and that meanings develop and change over the years, which is why we have one of the, if not the richest lexicons of all languages but lines need to be drawn. Now thanks to the illiterate masses in this country, spearheaded by Messer Redknapp and the other uneducated pundits who litter the telebox these days, the OED is considering changing the definition of "literally". Thanks to incomprehensible, yet amusing statements like: "Rooney is literally on fire" and "he has literally knocked his head off with tackle", the OED wants to refine the definition to something more akin to "metaphorical". However we already have a word for metaphorical statements and that word is "METAPHORICAL". So what you may ask? The thing is we have lost the word literally, now if we are referring to something literal, we can't say literally because we could mean metaphorically, the exact opposite of what we mean, it is like changing "yes" to mean "no". The whole thing metaphorically makes my head explode!!
Just got another note from her. She has just stopped somebody as they opened my garage door !!!!!!!!!!!! - and then (she) relocked my garage. I am the only person with any need to go into my garage. My garage is locked and the only key is in my pocket. Even though she gets very nasty with me - probably because I am now doing everything to avoid contact, I still can't bring myself to tell her to go and procreate in another place. She has obviously gone mad - I'm fairly certain there hasn't been an outbreak of porcine aviation ( the only conditions under which her vision would have occurred )............... therefore I feel too sorry for her ( whilst I still have some sanity left - although that could be tested before the end of the season )
Hang on, I don't understand. Are you saying that she is lying about someone trying to gain access to your garage and making it up, if so to what end?
Well - if she thinks that she can make me mad - she's a few years too late. I've been watching the Gills for too long, and have seen so many performances as the one by last week's referee - that makes everything else in my life quite bearable --- although Tesco and the ever increasing number of idiots on the road, are doing their very best to test my patience.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-23637225 Apparently the main difference between the robot and a 'real' woman is that the robot is a combination of artificial intelligence and human form !..... I could get myself into a lot of trouble if I say anything else..... or not as is the case - damned if I do - damned if I don't. ps - sorry Poshminx !
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-23847287 brb will tell you that this is the sort of spirit in which football should be played ( the fan was from the opposing team )
Yes, I know it's still August - that it's still summer - that the days are still hot ( although on Monday, when my car was showing 34 celcius, my neighbour still had all her windows shut ) Autumn is a beautiful time of the year. Perhaps we do not fully appreciate its' spleandours until the winter weather finally takes hold and doesn't let go for what seems like an eternity. Then we would gladly trade the freezing cold, miserable dreary days for the array of wonderful colours that Autumn brings - as leaves begin to change their colour. We treat the onset of Autumn with disdain. It's a nuisance - there we were - enjoying the long hot summer - and we don't want it to end ! We don't notice that, all around our verdant land, everything is no longer just green. We do not give this miracle of nature a second thought. We are too desperate to eke out another barbeque weekend before we have to put the gear away ( uncleaned ) for another year. The nights start to become a little cooler- some of you may actually be closing your windows and thinking of turning on the heating. Trees start to shed their first few leaves, causing train commuters to curse them for being on the tracks. ( at least it's an excuse for being late for work ). But Autumn means the return of the football season . So it's a time of the year eagerly anticipated by many of us. It doesn't seem right that the game should be played whilst the sun is still blazing ( the next couple of World Cup Finals should be interesting ) - No, football is traditionally a winter sport - and before winter we must have Autumn - heralding the start of another new season of our favourite game. I am a keen gardener - yet I am not concerned that Autumn will cause me more work. Immediately behind my rear garden there is a small wooded area. The branches of the nearest trees overhang my garden. When the leaves fall, some land in my garden. I pride myself with keeping 'on top' of these leaves, clearing them away almost as quickly as they fall ( daily job ). I keep a pristine garden - dealing with each weed as it occurs. At the moment there are but a few leaves in my garden. I could probably number them and give each a name with a different letter of the alphabet - and have letters to spare ! ................ So - today I took a break from horticultural duties and vacuumed and polished my car. ( it had been contaminated with the hair of more than one camel this week ). My neighbour ( THAT one ) arrived on scene...... I bet you didn't think this was going to involve her !....wrong ! She enquired " Does that thing suck up leaves ? I decided to humour her and replied " The inside of my car is not THAT bad " She then said " Well you should try clearing up the leaves in your garden - it's a mess." .............I must admit I hadn't seen THAT coming. At first I thought that she was joking - but then I saw the expression on her face - just like she was sucking on a lemon. I said to her " I don't wish to be rude, but there's hardly a handful - not enough to bother about. " She said something about me being bombastic, turned and walked away. I wish she would leave me alone.
When Autumn does come go up a local field and collect a couple of bin liners full of leaves . Empty them over her garden in the night. Knock on her door in the morning with your hoover and tell her she may need it. When she says why ?. Say ...Have you seen the state of your garden lol
Born Again Gill I think that she is so close to being mad - that your (brilliant) idea would send her over the top. I was actually holding back another pearler from her - She has accused the neighbour on the 'other side ' of causing weeds to appear in her front lawn - because the seeds of weeds in his garden are being carried in the wind ( the wind that doesn't pass through my windows ) onto her grass and germinate.
