Conversation I have just had with one the University librarians:
"There's a problem with my account - it shows that I still have a book out when I don't, I've given it back. I've just been to the shelf and all four copies of the book are there. Also, if you do a search on the system for that book, it shows there are four copies and that none of them are currently on loan."
"Oh! I see. Well, I can raise a query on the account if you like."
"Well, there's no need really, I've just checked, as I've explained, and the book is on the shelf. There's clearly an error in the system."
(pause)
(librarian looks slightly flustered and confused)
"Oh, I see. Ok, hang on, the ISBN you have to look for is [reads out ISBN number of book]."
"What?"
"Well, that's the ISBN you have to check against the book to see if you still have it."
"What the ... I mean ... who .... what????!!! Go and look at the shelf and you'll see all four copies of the book there!!"
"Oh! Why didn't you say that?"
"I JUST DID!!!! I JUST EXPLAINED IT TO YOU IN PLAIN SODDING ENGLISH!!! TWICE!!!!" (well, I phrased it a little more politely than that ....)
Sheesh!
Where the hell do they find these people?

On a similar note;
Dear university, why, in all the seven years I was there could you not, despite me setting it up multiple times, and yourselves setting it up multiple times, make my university e-mail address forward things to my personal e-mail address yet the moment I leave university after graduating, do I get every last piece of useless rubbish that you e-mail to my uni address (which now should not exist as I've been graduated for a year and my access to uni buildings revoked) forwarded to my personal e-mail address?
why damnit why?

TO the dirty little scouse scroat from Toxteth, who mugged me with his mates a few weeks ago. First of all, you have to gang up and threaten me with violence to take me on. There was no need to punch me, you then take my phone and wallet. You then, before I have time to walk home, with no shoes (as you stole them as well) rank up £200 worth of phone calls on my sim card. Well I have you post code and street name (curtsy of 02), if i recognise you when I'm in the area, you will not know what hit you. Chavy, pathetic, waster, scum.
I was over this until I received my bank balance, fortunately they couldn't get to a bank in time.
I hate humanity at times, especially in this city (only a minority, most people are very friendly), only 6 month to go...

Just need to Rant...
....My son got this so called roofer to put him a new roof on his little old terrace house, great the scaffolding arrived, the tiles arrived and the roofer for the first few days!!!!
...we're now into the seventh week! and trying to get this lazy good for knothing bloke to turn up to finish what he started is really p**sing us off now... URRRGGGG!. OK my son committed the sin of Paying him up front! He began by paying first of all for the materials then this guy asked for a couple of hundred as he had to pay his missus for the kid, so my son being the gentle giant he is, handed him the money, then he asked again and again until he'd been payed all the money he quoted. He now says he hasn't got enough tiles to finish the job and has to order more, and you've guessed it, hit him again for more money! We've told him not to pay him any more and if it where up to me I'd tell him In the words of Lord Suger "YOUR FIRED"...my son hates confrontation and frightened of reprisals but surely this guy can't have any come back if we get someone else to finish the job? He's taken all the money and not completed the work! says he'll turn up but then doesn't so what are we supose to do?
Any advise as how we should deal with the situation most welcome?
The work done so far looks pretty good, just unfinished, My husband spoke to him last week after insisting that my son give him his number. He assured him he would have it finished last weekend but again he never turned up!
We're taking things into hand now as my son is so stressed with it. just hoping the forecast snow doesn't hamper getting it finished....

My kid brother and his mate took on one of the large jars of pickled eggs in a pub. My brother said that he'd drink all of the vinegar if his made ate all of the eggs.
His mate against all expectations ate all of the eggs and my brother had close to a pint and a half of vinegar to drink.
They both blew off though I don't think it was steam!
After two mass evacuations they both continued drinking their favourite tipples.

Just caught up with this.
I do feel sorry for primary school teachers who have one hell of a job to do - teach the kids, nurture their developing skills and talents and then be expected to tabulate the whole sodding lot of it.
Sadly the kids are going to be expected to know what they are doing, why they are doing it, what the taks leads on from, where it leads to and which level on which strand of the National Curriculum is being addressed as well as being able to identify what they have to do to make further progress. Who expects all of this? OFSTED arbiters of intelligence and progress.
I count my blessings that I teach only one curriculum subject and to high school kids who have a marginally better understnding of the adminstratium that accompanies the teaching.
The youngster teaching your offspring has a lot to learn about teaching. Not wasting time on pointless achievement speak is one of the things that she'll get to grips with eventually.

I wouldn't have even bothered to help the fat slob up. You should have kept running and smiled "One to me"

Sounds like a wonderful way to get tummy ache. I love pickled eggs, food of the gods.

I get asthma too ... bloody nuisance! I take a daily preventer though, does the job.
Anyway, seeing as this is a rant thread ...
*ahem* here goes ...
You stupid fat ugly retarded cow! Thank you so much for (a) pulling out from parked without looking and (b) stopping and shouting abuse at me (I quote, "get off the road you fakkin' cyclin' c**t") when I swerved round the front of your car because I had nowhere else to go ...
Now why don't you clear off back to the sink estate where you came from. And I'm surprised you can drive straight with a chip that big on your shoulder ...

Oy! Other kids' parents! Your kids and my kids are going out sledging. I'm Ok supplying sledges x4, and feeding them when they get back, but if you send them round with no coats or gloves then even though I have spares, I will send them home to you, so that you learn a fricking lesson.
