why am I constantly bombarded with offers of cheap car insurance when I do not possess a driving license in fact never learnt to drive..?? Barbara..xx

Women Mangers, why are they often rude and agressive?

.......and another thing lol A few months ago I was at the doctors having my 3 yearly smear test. The young ( well she was in her thirties lol ) nurse examined me and said afterwards ' is anything bothering you at all'? I said, 'no not really, except I cannot seem to lose weight like I used to.'Then I said how I eat very healthily,drink loads of water and go to lots of exercise classes.(feeling quite pleased with myself! ) She stroked my arm put her arrn around my shoulder and said ' Ahhh Bless!' I felt about a hundred!! LOL She was lovely though and was just being nice I suppose lol Mau xx;0) ..........word to self.....do not patronise older folk!

Health visitors & Do-Gooders in general. Im not quite in the 'grumpy old woman' bracket just yet at only a mere 38 but by child number 3 i know what i am doing. even in hospital after given birth some helpful (?) young lady (looked like she was still at school) came and showed me how to bathe, change and generally look after my baby. she was most put out when i said in that 'ive just had a baby voice and dont need this c**p' way that this was child number 3 and if i didnt know what i was doing by now then i should be locked up. also while im at it 'earth mothers' - yes i now all the benefits of breast feeding and 'real' nappies but i honestly dont have the time to have their message rammed firmly down my throat every time i bottle feed my youngest or change his cute little behind with a brand of disposable nappies. thanks for this thread. lets keep it nudged up near the top as im sure i ll need to rant again shortly lol

Old Crone get down to Primark they have some wonderful strappy heeld shoes on;;; Pigs just cause I carnt stand up in them any more ;; sob sob;; Yes and totally agree about underwear;; well you can get some from some named cat;; yes £40 for a bra no way ;;;

And another thing that gets my goat up is tight arsed people. Some people are just so mean, like to save threepence they will walk a mile through a snow storm and over hot coals. Ok if you have a geniune case, but these people squeek when they walk..

Has anyone mentioned builder's bums yet? What's that all about then? LOL BC

A husband who come in changes telly to sports channel,then go'es outside putting remote i the kitchen as he walks out WHY!!!!!

I get real p.....d off with men who want to tell me how to do my job. I have been doingit for years - i know how to do it and I really do not need some stupid old goat who drives a bus, or pushes insurance who has never done my job explaining my job to me.

.........and another thing!!!!!!! rant rant, I'm with you girls lol Why do pregnant girls show off their tummies!! I am happy for them honestly but that doesn't mean I want to see their navels for goodness sake!! Ooooooooh ahumph!! Mau xx;0))....... ahh that's better!

...that phone call from a call centre in India...hello, my name is Gavin Smith... NO IT ISNT! Does your company think I am so daft/prejudiced that I will not spot the fact that you are definitely, and ethnically, Indian? Oh, and speaking as an elderly tart, who loves tart's shoes - why is all footwear now either flat or orthopaedic? Where have all the high heels gone, the pretty and feminine sandals, in fact anything which actually looks like a shoe, and not a snow shoe. OC

Inurance companies,because your near renew how come i get every one in the country sending me letters is there anything they dont know about me,ansd there already filled in with my information.

So do some of the english guys have their ear peirced as well or is that so old now...

I have 4 daughters Butterfly... the two eldest had theirs done when they were 13 ( i couldnt bear the whining any longer lol) the younger two ( aged 11 and 9) have not had theirs done yet, i said they would have to wait until High school...

Our Em........yes I too think it looks horrid when I see babies with those great big gold dangling earrings you would think that it would stretch their ear lobes... if i was to have a girl I would leave it to her to decide wether to have them or not... I can still remember going with a friend when she was having her ears peirced and in those days they used a needle it was horrible..

I remember being a mod! and going out in ankle swingers, mini skirts, pointed toe shoes, and having a haircut that my dad called me coconut head, oh those were the days!!

Why do a certain credit card money keep sending me blank cheques with all ................. ALL my account details on them are they trying to help someone steal my identity??????? I don't want to spend money if I did I would use the (bleep) credit card! Julie xxx

Yes Butterfly... I had to wait until i was 16 before i was allowed to get my ears pierced! now you see small babies with them... tragic! what happens if they pull their ears.. or have an accident as babies do... and how can you say a pair of tiny gold blobs enhance a babies appearance???? They make them no more ' pretty' and the baby hasnt the first clue about what is fashionable and what is not... it is pure selfish indulgence on the parents part....

Yes I too have the drama of the nighties....Why is that cause I am larger than the 'NORM' i suppose......Not fair and being vertically challenged just doesnt help at all...

Seems to me that the kids today appear to have to have the best of everything and not making do... I can remember having to wait for my first pair of jeans and I loved them to bits would never have worn them like the kids of today do.. Makeup was a big no no and my ears peirced well that was when I was in my teens....had to wait....lol
