Random Rants : Someone is wrong on the Internet

[Triewd]

By voting you get taxed!

Oh God don't remind me If you Vote Labour they will tax the country to death

If you vote Conservative you are cruel and heartless for letting the bedroom tax go up

And on and on.....

 

[gay_Aleks]

You know what they say about death and taxes.

 

[JohannaK]

Labour Isn't Working. Nevermind that the Tories don't work either. Or that anyone else is ever going to.

 

[gay_Aleks]

At least the parties in Bulgaria pay. Your vote matters! In the UK, you give your vote for free.

What a waste.

Maybe the tabloids will stop slaughtering Ed Miliband and actually get back to the usual gossip and other rubbish they "report" on. I'm not even a fan of Miliband and I'm wondering why he puts up with it.

takhisis snipes like every rants thread

anyways, I got my age wrong today when someone asked lol. Well, it's close enough.

 

[Narz]

Where's the challenge in that?

Don't even joke... I had a short relationship with a very beautiful & sweet Canandian woman, she came from a healthy family & had good relationships with both her parents. She was sweet, supportive, didn't judge me, smiled alot... and while she was cute & was happy to make love to her I didn't fall in love even a little bit. Why must I only crave the crazy ones?!!!

Don't even think about it. Just associate them with potential sexual harassment suits.

In that case I should never ever open my mouth at work.
-> will not work.

I've always thought the rants and raves threads as cfc's spam threads

Well, not to 100%.

Happened to me too a few times, so don't worry, not a sign of dementia ^^.


Rant: Seems I'm doing something wrong in the gym, one of my shoulder muscles is always giving me some pain afterwards (incl. right now, the day after).

Well talk to them, but you know steer away from sensitive topics. I don't know how sensitive the work culture is where you work, but I heard enough horror stories of ruined careers by seemingly harmless acts.

Rant: Lower back pain for a week. It's not sharp or stabbing, just a dull one when I bend over to get something. (like soap) I really don't have time or money to have a bad back at the moment.

Just be sure not to do this at the TSA checkpoint at the airport!

I had a friend who took a flight a day after his birthday. He gave them the wrong age and they wound up holding him for an hour and questioning him like a lethal threat to humanity. Not sure they went full-cavity search on him but it was still nerve racking for him.

no, that's not the problem.
In our lunch or coffee break discussions we often enough talk about something sex related, and we also had recently 2 breakups between people in the department.
My problem is (again, I pondered about this before here) that there are quite some attractive single ladies (5 right now), with whom I'm close enough to unsuspiciously hang around or to get touchy, but with whom I don't dare to do anything, because I fear that this will not be good for the work situation.
And since I'm outside of my peer group a relative coward, I also don't have many other options. But I don't dare to. But maybe I should. That's the problem :/.

The pullcord on my lawnmower broke. Trying to replace it, a spring went sprong, and now i can't get the damned thing back together.

 

[Farm Boy]

Ungh. That sounds familiar.

Cable ties are sometimes the answer if they can be clipped off later, but not usually. ><

I've never been good at small engine repair.

 

[Farm Boy]

Me either. You are not unlikely to be significantly better at it than I am.

Well at least we all know a guy who is good at small engine repair:

I expected that to be Vladimir Putin fixing a chainsaw with his shirt off while sitting on a bear.

 

[Borachio]

I don't have any idea who that is.

Who is it?

 

[Arakhor]

He looks Greek, I think - perhaps the new socialist PM in Greece?
