Why do all designers think that us girls want to walk about dressed like prostitutes, and daft ones at that?! I went shopping today, and all I saw was silly skimpy tops… and considering the weather (gales that lift you off your feet/torrential rain) do they really think that in winter people want to wear clothes that are just totally unappropriate for the season?

You walk into the guy’s section, and theres all these normal tshirts, because unlike girls (who are obviously all slappers,) guys like to wear clothes that cover them up, and the designers cater for that.

It’s just not fair being a girl! Especially since every geeky bloke assumes that you’ll want to date them, and they all go overboard and start drooling and being nice the second you tell them you’re female…

Saying that, mid argument it’s great to mention you’re a girl and watch them grovel and do anything ya want them to

Now, before everyone starts on me, and hacks the server this site is on and replaces it with lines of red and yellow arabic telling me allah is teh win0r, this isn’t a personal attack against anyone or anything, it is merely opinion (so please, no threatening to shoot/behead me)

It is my understanding, (and corrrect me if I’m wrong,) that the dear old Pope diverted from his usual slevvering about God, and said something along the lines of: “Islam = violence!” to which a whole bunch of muslims replied: “That’s lies! Kill the Pope for saying such things!” (followed by shooting elderly nuns, burning home-made statues of the pope etc etc)

Um?

How can people contradict themselves so much in the same sentence so badly, and still believe what they’re saying!? Infact, I can’t even think of any sentence that’s better, so big up to the Pakistani foreign minister that said “Islam is a peaceful religion, and anyone who disagrees should expect to be killed”. *slow claps*

The above news story on the BBC has suddenly become one of the most re-posted news stories..
I read it what, 3 months ago, and considering there are soooo many more important stories about, and have been since it was first posted in Feb, then people should be focussing on more important issues…

Now one thing was bugging me today… I was getting my mum to take money out of my building society where she lives near London (and would you believe, there are only 3 branches in the whole of Scotland: Glasgow (6 hours round trip away), Edinburgh (same as Glasgow, possibly more), and Aberdeen (what’s that? Like, 50 hours?), so before I moved, I asked them what I should do to which they replied “write a letter saying you authorise your mum to take money out, keep a copy for yourself, give one to her, and give us one”. To which I thought, fair enough, and away we went.

Now that was fine until, Oct. last year, when they said the letter was dated 2003 and that although they’d give my mum the money this time, she should get a new (updated) letter, so I did one for her and signed it, and that was fine until last week…

In my mum went as usual, only to be told by some completely retarded cow, that she would accept the letter just this once, but it would reflect badly on her as an employee, and that the letter should never have been accepted.. My mum pointed out that it had been accepted before, and had to get very stroppy in order to get any money out.

So, lacking the finer details of the exchange, I phoned my building society and ended up speaking to the woman who dealt with my mum, only to be told that it was due to the fact the letter was dated 2004 and was too old, and also, that anyone could have picked it up and bought it in…
Feeling slightly deflated (as I was all geared up to ranting at her,) I phoned my mum, who said the letter was dated Oct 2005 (thats 11 months ago) and she had ID to prove she was the person who’s name was specified on the letter… Now, that pissed me off… That cow lied to me, acting like my mum had been completely unreasonable in getting stroppy, and made up reasons for why she was supposedly entitled to refuse the letter?!

Anyways, I ended up withdrawing most of the money (with a new letter that was as specific as I could do it, and dated 3 days ago) and getting an account elsewhere, thanks to that woman.

And talking of banks, HBOS (Halifax/Bank of Scotland) are just dodgy… They merged a while ago, and my Halifax account (which I’ve had for yeeeears) takes 7 working days to clear… Everyone (including HBOS employees!) refuses to believe that it takes that long, so I tried to get a current account with the Bank of Scotland in order to have cheques clear in 3 working days, like every other bank on the planet. “Oh no sorry, you don’t have an income, so we won’t give you one” said numerous BOS people, so I got an appointment, demanded one, and voila, I have a BOS current account

When my mum withdrew the afformentioned money from the afformentioned crappy building society, she went to Halifax to put the cheque into my BOS account, only to be told it wouldn’t work and that they could put it in my Halifax account (so it would clear in a week and 2 days) or she could go to London to find a BOS and deposit it there….
She left the queue and phoned me asking what to do, and after I told her to just put it in my Halifax, she ended up speaking to a different cashier, who managed to put it in my BOS account fine…

Is the whole world going mad, or is everything just trying its best to annoy me?!

Luckily it all worked out, which means I’ll be able to order a new bed on Friday as my current one… How shall I put it… Collapses, and has so many nails holding it together, I don’t think I can call it a wooden bed anymore…

Kingsize four-poster with little curtain thingies (and a new mattress) here I come!

For those of you that don’t know what they are, see this…

For those of you that feel ill at the thought of them, whatever you do, DON’T CLICK THE LINK!

I swear they follow me about deliberatly… I’ll just be sitting here and see a moth out the corner of my eye, and think, “awww! a moth!” only for it to fly closer and I see it’s a monster of a crane fly… Of couse when I realise, I launch myself across the room with a scream (giving my poor Jamie a heart attack ) and have to leave the room till it’s dealt with…

I don’t know what it is with them, even typing this sends shivers down my spine! Good news though, its coming to the time of year when the palm-sized (and I’m not joking!) horrors all die off and I no longer have to go and lie down to recover from the horrible experience of having them fly at my face!

As if it’s been a month since I last posted… sorry people!
Guess I’ve just been feeling too good natured to sit ranting, but that stops here!

I’m refering to this.

If you read the comments at the bottom, alot of people say that customers might find it offensive or scary, and yes, they have a point, but had they bothered to read the article, they’d see that she worked in an office and only had contact with customers over the phone.

But no. On and on they whinge, saying if you don’t want to look mainstream, then you should work for a non-mainstream company, and not a “normal” one.
Now forgive me if I’m wrong, but I was bought up to judge people by who they were, and schools are always saying bullying and descrimination is bad, so why is descrimination against people with tattoos allowed?

I have earrings, but it doesn’t affect who I am… I don’t look anything like some thug that’s gonna knife you if you look at them funny, as for one, I’m a girl, and secondly, having your ears pierced or a tattoo is no different, regarless if its one ear piercing, 10 ear piercings, a lip piercing, a small tattoo on your ankle, or tattoos up your arms and all over your back.

If everyone wants to generalise, then anyone who who drinks a glass of wine a week is an alcoholic, and anyone who is on any medication is a low-life, mindless drug addict.

Oh, and if you’re reading this, you: spend too much time on the net, are a complete geek, and have no life.
