Rant of the Day v2.

[ian16th]

Snot, excrement, blood...

True, but sh!t tops the list and can be found on almost everything. I reckon it's because people scratch their arses and simply carry on, and also not putting the lid down when flushing their turds (especially when they're all sloppy).

Then there's India.

Ill see your India, and raise you Pakistan!

If steaming human excrement be at the centre of the Universe then that's where it is.

Also doubles as a potential post in The Worst Alternate I've Diverted To thread (should someone kick it off).

Slasher, probably why they wear Dohtis go anywhere.

Bughis Street was up there too. Deep breath and hold, too for half, out breath, repeat as necessary. Sitting down was never contemplated.

[Slasher]

Yes Bughis St of old. It's all shifted to Geylang around lorong 20 to 24. Seeing the girls (and pretend girls) squatting taking a pee in the street gutter at 2am is not uncommon. Neither is their sudden spew-ups on the footpaths. Didn't see any faeces though.

As a city I will agree. Once thought I saw a doll on a rubbish heap.got closer and was a baby. faeces in the gutter up the street and washing in it down the street. Truely awful. Had to go there because our principle pax was going to meet that nun woman.

After last weekend I think Bristol Waterfront area,should be added to the list, full of stag and hen night parties all trying to outdo each other on who could get pissed quickest and I was on a stag weekend, but at least I don’t have to go back

[Slasher]

Yes sah I recall you relating that some time ago.

Bar manager mate used to have the ice bucket on the bar. Took the meltwater for analysis and there was a remarkably high level of urine and feral bacteria. Ice sir? No thanks.

I guess folk helping themselves with their mits. I am reluctant to help myself from peanut bowls off a bar for the same reason. At our raki place here you get a bowl of peanuts on the table. Absolutely sure they go back into the jar if you leave any.

I read that at first that he kept the ice bucket BELOW the bar

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-47494518 Always had my own office and ate sarnies in there whilst working then went for a 30 min walk. Can't see what is wrong with egg sarnies used to often have them. Curry yes but if I wanted a cooked meal would go to the mess. Most of my chaps would eat sarnies in the ops room we couldn't really take a lunch break. Bots is terrible. Nothing happens between.13.00 and 14.00. They all eat takeaways at their desks.

[OFSO]

Friends who worked in India told me they always ate fresh snacks prepared blistering hot from market stalls, never had any stomach trouble, unlike westerners in posh hotels eating from the buffet. In contrast, my wife's family all on holiday in N Africa suffered agonising stomach problems for weeks afterwards. All except my father-in-law who indulged in a sufficiency of fig brandy after every meal and remained completely unscathed.

At the training facility one generally goes to the 24h restaurant canteen for a feed. I might go there for a coffee and sandwich. No eating allowed in the sim nor briefing rooms, but during redeye seshes the latter is ignored. The kids like their rice pork or chook with sugary drinks during briefings. If they like me they might pass me a chicken leg to chew while I waffle on.

Potential purchasers made an offer for the house with substantial reductions in price for the work they wanted to do modifying our place; not for repairs and fixes, but for changes to suit themselves. Have had the same in Spain. Idiots. Sent packing.

[Pontius Navigator]

Works the other way too. Our £20k on for the solar panels. Neglected to say the company had gone bust so no warranty.

Admit when we bought our previous home in didn't have a kitchen at all, in 12 years everything free standing apart from the sink.

Just had a thought: she had divorced and returned to the USA. Our buyers were Brits but returning from the USA.

Got on bus today, crowded with kids in school uniforms, screaming and shouting, blocking the aisles, not giving up seats for elderly and infirm. Not a teacher in sight. Until we reached St Paul's where sullen-faced teachers came down from the upper deck where they had sat in peace, having dumped their charges downstairs. As they got off Mrs OFSO complained to one, "Why, you go' summit to say ?" was the reply. School was Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Both teachers and all kids African.

Had this on a few school trips abroad, where we were sharing facilities with other schools. I remember a coach trip shared with one school where their teachers all sat at the front. Whilst their last late miscreant was being searched for in the hotel, their kids at the back got gradually rowdier until the Quebecois driver was on the point of scrubbing the trip. A colleague and myself, having appealed to their staff in vain, went down the back and sat in the two spare seats in the middle of them. After about 5 minutes, with some quiet but firm explanation, they settled down enough for the journey to commence. After 15 minutes, we we chatting with some of them. It is the staff that are the problem, most times.

Because you is racist.

I would write to the school. I did that with some success recently over a group of badly behaved kids on a train from Guildford to Dorking. At least I got a phone call from the head.
