Argghhhh! Hades itself!

I may well have a Grumpy Old Rant tomorrow because BT are coming to sort out my line. They were meant to come on Friday. They didn`t. I came home on Saturday afternoon to find a  calling card and an irritable mobile message saying they had come and I`d had the temerity not to be there when I wasn`t expecting them. I `phoned them up to point this out. They then told me the appointment was booked for .... 5th March.  And they wonder why people are leaving them?! Arghhh! I have no great expectations for tomorrow.

One for you tomorrow:



Mort, been there, done that, got the ciggie burns. Sympathy, sis. <deep drag, sigh, consult maps of Caribbean>

Take your pick, S`wave. Chin. chin.



I switched to onetel about 5 years ago because I got so ticked off with BT and their incompetency over connecting me in my new home. There doesn`t seem to be much point in paying line rental to onetel though, because if it goes wrong I  still have to call out a BT engineer. At a cost of £119. Before repairs.
 GASP! Umm, whichever glass you don`t want, could you pass it over please?

Blimey, I'm famous!

Sadly, I am away from home tonight, so won't be able to use listen again....

Anyway, the Rautavaara was a good start to the day, so I'm having a much better Tuesday than Monday.

Ho Mort and "A".  What you need is a bit of this not far from me.
Cheers

And this man in the Saturday Telegraph had a real waffle 

At this moment in time, the way forward is a window of
opportunity to bite the bullet, speak plainly and be minded to tell it like
it is. Those who can't stand the heat of the kitchen should stay out of it.
This is the way to take up the challenge and strike a chord with the man in
the street in the bread and butter debate. The icing on the cake is to reach
the hearts and minds out there.

The up-coming scenario is an unknown quantity threatening meltdown of our
society's goals, so we must be in the business of being positive and ensure
a level playing field. Even then when we talk the talk it must be clear
there is no gain without pain if we are to walk the walk.

Only then can we go head-to-head to properly address all the issues of the
big picture. Even as we speak, we must be prepared to put our hands up and
be counted. For what you see is what you get.

Make no mistake, at the end of the day we are between a rock and a hard
place. The devil is in the detail, and the bottom line is we are facing a
no-win situation. Reading between the lines the die is cast and, taken in
the round, if we all sing from the same hymn sheet we can take on board the
fact the goalposts can't be moved.

On the ground we are a broad church but we must keep our eye on the ball so
we can put a toe in the water while the jury is still out and then, by
sampling the mood music under the radar, plan for the worst and hope for the
best.

Moving on, I am bound to say, hand on heart, we are deeply committed to
winning the end game and we should rule nothing in and nothing out, even
though in the final analysis we may well be damned if we do and damned if we
don't.


I think I'll post it over at the other place 

Good Herrings Soundwave! That's astonishing! Where was it taken? 

'A' and her partner are really all luvved up!  How nice to hear.  I love a bit of romance.

Oops this is the grumpy old rant room.....well it's cold, grey and miserable out there - my house is a tip - there are upwards of 1000 books in boxes scattered all over the house.  The piano is in the hall....I've got friends coming round for bridge that will need climbing boots to get into the sitting room - and the decorator won't be finished till Friday!

That ok?
