RE: The Rant Thread - Tigger - 18-07-2022
I'm in the Costa Blanco a d it's very warm. However you can just go into cars and food places and they all have air con.
Ireland can't handle the changes in weather
RE: The Rant Thread - Tigger - 18-07-2022
Bars
But cars have air con as well.
Is it still warm at home. Baby Tigger says he doesn't like Spain cos it has no internet's and it's nice and sunny at home in Ireland and his friends all talk like bajdhfjhehebjskhelwldhje and it's too sunny.

Why are so many people freaking out about rain today? Have they never heard of winter before?

I rant that the weather forecast is usually way off now. They said we would have a serious heatwave and then torrential rain causing floods and high winds.
If you are going to throw out big predictions like that you better be certain first.

I'm not sure it has a lot to recommend it 😉 even if you are 'cured', you'll likely have more physical health issues, more financial burdens / problems and once you are back on the more or less straight and narrow the psycho-oncological service will discharge you anyway, so you'll be back to where you started with a large suitcase of extra baggage 😆

Hmmm not sure I can manage any more financial burden, or health issues. Back to the drawing board!

Ah yeah, the cancer bit is done 🥳 the recovering from everything they do to get it gone and keep it away is a long work in progress 🤣 but you just keep putting one foot in front of the other 🙂

If it makes you feel any better, mine is a jerk in the other direction and I'm only just going to bed now.

I want a rant about the bully driver that I met on a narrow road, he didn't make any effort to slow down or pull over to make room for me so I end up getting thwacked by branches from the hedge and picked up some small scratches on my paint.

I drive a small car and these assholes think I should drive into the ditch for them. One was a repeat offender so I just stopped and pulled up the handbrake, a terse exchange later he reversed back into a gateway and has acted like my little car and me are invisible ever since.

As well as the driving test and theory test , there should be an arse hole test, if you don't pass that you don't get your license.

I am so sorry to hear Nothing, hugs! I do hope it resolves soon - there's nothing like trying to endure living in a place you can't be (in someway) comfortable in!
My silly rant - 12 or the iitchiest mosquito bites (from sitting outside an hour, friday evening waiting for transport). If it were just on one arm it might be tolerable, but every appendage screaming for a scratch overnite and today. Not a single "proven" or unconventionaal ointment is taming the fire (I am allergic).
RE: The Rant Thread - BuileBeag - 07-08-2022
Away with the family for my mams birthday. Staying in a beautiful air bnb, three stories of luxury and everything you could ask for. As well as a couple things we didn't ask for... Namely two massive rusty nails sticking out of the side of the decking steps. My mums dog ran by and they caught her on the side and tore off a massive section of hair, skin and tissue. Just peeled back like a curtain revealing the soft, bloody flesh beneath. She had to have emergency surgery to get it all back in place. The poor dog is in bits. We all are!
RE: The Rant Thread - E.N. - 07-08-2022
Ah feck, BB, that sounds horrific. Hope she's doing OK

She took a long time to come round yesterday and was very sore and unsettled during the night but she's pottering around today, doing really well. Dogs are amazing for bouncing back. I think we're more upset about it than she is!

I ranted about potholes on Irish roads and bully drivers who take up all the space on narrow roads before but it bears repeating, yesterday a bully made me swerve into a really deep pothole.
RE: The Rant Thread - Butty Brennan - 14-08-2022
The British weather forecasts have been complaining about the heat for ages, now they are already complaining about the imminent rain that will end the drought and heatwave.

You'll have to go to Louth - they'll have no potholes soon with their recent investment in a pothole fixing machine, seemingly it can do 700 potholes a month! 🤣

RE: The Rant Thread - Declan A Walsh - 19-08-2022
What is it with some people that insist on crossing the road close to a roundabout- the most awkward place to cross with frequent traffic? In the case of a specific roundabout that I have in mind, I noticed that the worst offenders for this are constructions workers at a nearby site. Many of them cross to go and return from a local convenience shop. If they walked around the corner and up the road, they would come to pedestrian lights where they could cross over straight to the shop without any hassle.
