The Ranting Room

not Lowestoft!!!!!!

NORTH Norfolk coast.........the beautiful, unspoilt part!!!!

Yeah, I have done a little research.........my house used to be the mortuary! How cool is that?
The church is lovely..........and my son is pleased to be going to the same school that Billie Piper attended...........(not sure that's an educational recommendation) ........it's a Dr Who thing!

back to RANTING......................

MY LAWN MOWER WONT START!!!!!!!

^You need one of those lawnmowers that you push to turn the blades, gives your upper arms a good work out I can tell you.

You know my home town of Stevenage, then?

(btw..........we lift share 6 to a car, so we don't contribute to the school run mayhem more than we have to!) All you guys seem jolly angry today........ But I agree building on green patches stinks.......... we just moved from near Blacksword's neck of the woods, over here to near Geck0's neck....... one of the problems with this manic building is that folk want their space.......... thus making the price of houses in the country a RIDICULOUSLY ABSURD price!!!! Where did all the space go??? P-C

Hey PC, wherabouts did you live in the Bracknell area?? Good on you for escaping.

It seems a number of PA members live in the Swindon area. Gecko and Richardh too! We should arrange a prog get together in that area one day. Same sort of thing as the famous London prog curry night!


      

^doesnt mean we cant sort something out.

Berkshire................ sheeesh! no offense guys but we have a phrase in our house........."berskshire girl!" and it is NOT a compliment!!!

we drive past Stevenage on my way "home" to Norfolk when I go visit.......... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm yum!
But has anyone seen what they've done to Ely recently? I swear that place is ten times larger than it was 15 years ago!

its ok if you are mobile, all these places are near gorgeous countryside........... but if you don't have transport you are stuffed. We are getting TOO crowded , way way too crowded..........try driving anywhere on a bank holiday weekend......TOO MANY FREAKIN PEOPLE............


and calm...........................
breathe in.............and out...............

P-C x

Sunday drivers!

Hooray for them... (tongue firmly in cheek)

Yes, you are correct.  I've never been to Stevenage or Ely.  But a lot of Cambridgeshire and Essex is getting built over.  Stansted is expanding and apparently they're demolishing whole villages!  That is dispicable!

Blacksword wrote: but any advert where someone is shouting at me to buy something really gets me seething. The wost is the advert for 'Safestyle UK' Windows. Now I can't remember the name of this loathsome, bearded northern d!ckhead, but he shouts, repeatedly 'You buy one, you get one free, I SAID YOU BUY ONE YOU GET ONE FREE!!!' This is repeated at great volume, maybe three times, perhaps for the benefit of the elderly or anyone with a short term memory problem. As for me, I find myself shouting back at the TV 'You shout at me you b&stard, you get my boot in your nuts. I SAID, YOU SHOUT AT ME YOU B&STARD, YOU GET MY BOOT IN YOUR NUTS!!

Would this be the gentleman to whom you refer...?

    

I really tried to find a picture of him in that fetching white tuxedo he used to wear occasionally.

...so we agree, then:

I don't know how this particular rant of mine will go down, but hey, I don't care...

The Prince Of Wales -

Heir to the ancient throne of England -

Defender Of The Faith in waiting (and waiting, and waiting...) -

Expert on all things environmental, architectural, ecological, homeopathic, alternative, organic and countryside related (to the extent that he even married a horse recently) -

An open letter -

Sir,

With all due respect to your position and title:

Will you please, just for once shut the ++++ up until you know what the bloody hell you're talking about!

Thank you -

Yours sincerely,

All those who are fed up of you popping up in every vaguely "right-on" forum you can get to in order to regale us with your vast wealth of knowledge (ie half-truths, unsubstantiated semi-facts, rumour, conjecture and plain old fashioned twaddle) in the sure and certain knowledge that your mother is only holding grimly onto the throne to prevent our being "ruled" by a man with his head so far up his own bottom he cannot see that his second born son looks nothing like his "parents" but increasingly like his late wife's (Gawd bless the late blue-blooded Sloan brood-mare) close friend, James Hewitt...
