Sluggish Letters

We spent a pleasant day in York yesterday. Eating lunch at exclamation mark enthusiasts, Yo! Sushi! was a wallet busting £50 for me and Mrs Rantyman, but that's not the focus for this rant.

A Load of Rubbish

Litter.

It's everywhere.

Food, Glorious Food

Yesterday I went to a food and drink festival. Yes, I know it sounds like a hipster bullshit event, but it... well it kind of was.

Timekeeping

Sometimes work doesn't finish on time. Sometimes it can't be avoided. And sometimes this fucks me right off.

Annoying People (part 736)

Yesterday I was annoyed.

Like most days.

That You Just Didn't Take

Good advice is, err, good. Sometimes you ask for it and it is offered. Sometimes it is offered without you asking for it and it is helpful.

I Can See Clearly Now

My eyesight has been deteriorating a little for some time, but I refused to do anything about it.

Bingo

This rant is about Bingo, although not the book of the same name which I penned (it's available here if you're interested: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bingo-Tim-Jones/dp/1503268934/ref=sr_1_1_twi_pap_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1478260104&sr=8-1&keywords=bingo+tim+jones). No, this rant focuses on a conversation I overheard this morning.

Twat Magnet

Sometimes people talk to me. And not just to say “I've read your blog and I've informed the police” or “that toilet is only a display model, sir”.

Clocks Suck

The clocks went back on Saturday night. Or Sunday morning if you prefer.

Spooktacular

It's almost Halloween, so the shops are full of black and orange tat and “scary” things.

Cowboys

Firstly I'd like to say that I don't think all builders are bastards. I do however think the ones who are doing work on our neighbour's house are. And massive ones at that.

Far Too Early

I fucking hate DIY. This isn't an anti-wanking post, I'm talking about building shelves and the like.

Prizes

Christopher John Fields receives Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role of 'Volunteer #1' in 1993's Jurassic Park.

Return of the Rant

Well, it was good while it lasted.

Important News

After 18 months and over 100 posts (I'm as surprised as anyone that there have been so many), it's time for a change.

By Request

I'm going all political, by request, in a new feature which might be called something snappy like Bastard of the Week. Although, in fairness, it's unlikely anyone will suggest a bigger bastard than this person for some time.

People = Worse Than Shit

Sometimes people are so disappointing in their actions that you can't find the words to describe them. At least none that aren't expletives.

Snow Joke

It snowed here today as it did in lots of other parts of the country.

Highway to Hell

Now that I can drive, a whole new world of things that piss me off has opened up. I bet that when that bloke made the first car and had someone walking along in front of it waving a red flag, he never thought it would end up like this. Or maybe it was all part of his nefarious plan.

What pisses me off the most? Here is my top 5.

Ashes to Ashes

I haven’t ranted for a while. This isn’t because all the best rants have been done or anything as ridiculous as that; it’s mostly because I couldn’t be arsed.

Sleep

Sleep is fantastic. It’s less fantastic when you seem to have forgotten how to do it.

The World's End

What will end the human race?

Too Soon

I went to the supermarket to do a bit of rant reconnaissance this afternoon and I wasn’t disappointed with my findings.
