Latest moan from me and you!!!

I was listening to this on the Jeremy Vine programme, very interesting, the teacher concerned felt that when invitations were brought into school and ceremoniously handed out in class to all except one or two children who were disappointed/upset, that this was in its way a form of bullying!! Why invite all the class except 1 or 2? 1 or 2 more cannot make much difference.
I must say, rightly or wrongly that I found myself agreeing with her.

Why is it when you phone the doctors for a appointment, you ask for one the next day and she says yes there 2 available appointments at 4.30 and 4.45.
But can you phone back tomorrow morning @ 8.30am to make a appointment

 

Must have been 1969, the Hapenny had just been withdrawn, my Nan gave me and my cousins a penny each to buy some sweets, only mine had been 2 Hapennies and the shopkeeper wouldn't accept them.

I went back to tell my Nan and she just said "Oh" and took them back. My cousins all got sweets but I didn't

And all these years on you have still not forgotten it!!! Some childhood events just stay with you forever!!

It was the only thing my Nan ever gave to me, only thing Granddad ever gave me was a tin of ball bearings that he stole from the factory.

I did enjoy them though

 

Facebook again!

I decided to enter a photographic competition for the first time today, apart from GC that is. The competition is for a brochure advertising a local transport company and they want pictures of the local scenery. So, I selected my pics and proceeded to the website. Once there I was then given a link to place the pictures, that link is FACEBOOK! Do these companies think that everyone lives their lives through this blasted site, I for one won't have anything to do with it! As far as I could see there was no other way of entering the competition and I'm fuming!

 

It was probably a free way to get local pictures .If you had put them on Facebook they would have had them for free.

 

You should hear (totally unprintable) what my arctic driving daughter has to say on the subject of cyclists, nearly as bad as what she says about caravans but not quite!

 

Silu,do they have Cyclists and Caravans up in the Artic?Would love to see them and I should imagine the cyclists would have to wrap up a bit to keep warm but the caravanners would be ok as a lot of the vans are all insulated for four seasons and the double glazing in them is pretty good as well and they usually have heating in them nowadays

 

Them $@&&!#% cyclists are everywhere, and riding 2 or 3 abreast.

 

Why do the weather ladys have to lean to the right when they look and point at the weather map and then when they look back at the camera they do a hair flick
