I've just been given 'down the banks' by Mrs G for ranting at a parcel delivery geezer wanting me to take a parcel in for one of my neighbours at 10:30PM! eeek:
I suggested that p'raps the reason he got no reply was because they may possibly have gone to bed FFS, and was this the new very early, or should that be very late improved delievery service that Parcel Force are now offering?
He hadn't even got a pen for me to sign his poxy dog eared sheet, and then he proceeded to try taking MY pen off me, bloody great tit. cussing:
Mrs G then launches into a personal tirade of abuse at me for being so bad tempered with everyone...apparently, so she say's like. ::)
Is it ANY bloody wonder! Banghead
The guy got off exceedingly lightly imo. He should in eccence be walking around with a 3' square box bulging out of the back of his gruns. cussing:

Perfectly reasonable. I would not open my door to a stranger at 10.30 pm. And the Parcelfarce whelk can return during working hours.
Next time let wifey answer the door if she wants to.
-
Did he provide any account of why he was calling so late? eeek:

Did he provide any account of why he was calling so late? eeek:
Yup. His van had broken down.
He was from India btw. P'raps home delivery in the dead of night is common place out there? rubschin:
Could at least have brought me a curry for me good neighbourly gesture like. ::)

Are they being paid by the amount of parcels they actually deliver these days then ( or is that part of his temping contract rubschin: ) ?
Anyways - he's probably off work due to stress now whistle:

What made it all the more iritating and didn't exactly help my feelings of good will towards him, was that he was one of those 'loud happy jolly all smiley smiley' people, just like out mealey mouthed milkman. sick2:

Best keep away from Skool Growler .... I went along for a ruck with the Headteacher and ended up home educating two boys ;)
The THW won't tell either her mother or me of anything that happens at skool because she says "You don't understand ~ I don't want you there showing me up, even if you do think you are defending me against unjust treatment ~ I'd rather be treated unfairly".
So I now let her get on with it. Her problem, maybe she'll learn to handle it better if I do keep out.
I do know that if I had run home and complained about the things that seem to upset her my Dad would have given me a clout for "letting the family down".
Think on lad. Best you keep out is my advice.

I CANNOT, and WILL NOT tolerate injustice, especially when it concerns my kids. It really gets me steaming it does, and all because of CAKE!!!
Give me bloody strength. noooo:
Wouldn't mind, but it was ME that started all this with a bit of jovial banter at the parents evening with the teacher concerned just 3 weeks ago. I totally misjudged her obviously, and now the Mini Moose is on the receiving end of her fury. I'm absolutely bloody livid about it.
Mini Moose has enough on her plate with the GCSE's without all this shit. cussing:

Pray explain about this cake related problem

Pray explain about this cake related problem
It's a storm in a teaacup. ::)
I asked Mini Moose to tell her 'child care' studies teacher, who also does cookery, to make me a choccy cake with giant choc buttons on it.
I mentioned it at the parents evening, and we had a good laugh about it, as I thought she was appreciating the banter, you know, to lighten up these dark depressing GCSE days a bit.
Mini Moose asked her 2 weeks ago and she just laughed and made some friendlycomments about her nutty dad.
All light hearted stuff to ease the burden.
Mini Moose had her MOCK GCSE child care paper this week, and she flew though it, top of her group etc.
Sitting there bored, she wrote at the bottom, "please Miss E., my dad is still waiting for his cake, and he's coming to get you if you don't get it cooked pronto...or something similar to that.
She apparently looked at it and totally lost her cool, ranting and hollering at her. She said she was that angry that she was going to report her and take it to the Head'.
30 minutes later she came back and said that sh'ed reconsidered and hadn't done so, but hope that the threat had made her think and sweat.
"If it had been the real GCSE paper it would have been cancelled and void".....OBVIOUSLY, and WE know that you miserable bloody humourless cow.
The immense pressure on her has now increased, and the once friendly atmosphere in class has now completely evaporated.
I feel guilty because of all this and want to speak to her, but as said, I've been TOLD by the Mooses to keep well away.

Mini moose deserves a thrashing noooo:

We all know (and MM does too) that she shouldn't have written the friendly comment on her mock paper, but please, come on, what the hell is so so wrong with what she did to cause such a furore? Shrugs:

Oh yes, oh yes. Many many disappointments in my life just like that that I can relate to.
I've simply given up now and spend me time snarling and growling at trees and general stuff that won't give me heartache.
Yes, I am actually going/gone insane and quite happy about it.
Growlers inner werld is a generally peaceful one.
I expect nowt, and almost feel pleased when I get the usual nowt in return.
