Welcome to TCB’s long drop

The object of this thread is to have a moan, with out offending anyone, with out dreading the cliché advice that people give. This is just so you can have a b***h. NO ADVICE THANKS!

Now this is the important bit, when you are done with the moan you have to full the bucket with sand and throw down the longdrop, so it stops the bad stuff from spreading! If you don’t then we are at liberty to make “stinky” jokes at your expenses! Washing hands is optional!!

Like so…

I am so fed up with this bloody weather, we are making our way into winter and I am yet to see the summer. I also have had enough of the NHS - I hate the fact we are just numbers and statistics with them


* zimajays throws sand down the hole, picks up nice smelling soap and washes hands!



PS - If however you would like to show your support by giving wangs - that is up to you!!!!

I'm sick of being in a shitty job and not knowing what I want to do with my life.


*edmonsta realises he dropped his phone down the longdrop, just his luck. Nevermind, he thinks, it will be fun to ring it while other people are on the crapper...*




*washes hands and checks hair in mirror*


*is there a mirror in the long drop?*

Chick

I am seriously sulking about the fact that for the past four days I have opened up TCB to see I have NO reps. I is the wang slut afterall, how can I be slutting if I get no reps? I will just have to keep those funny postings in my in-box until I stopped sulking. I is just gonna keep my wangs to myself .....

*Wipes bum with scraps of newspaper and decides not to throw down the sand - 'smell that' is my thinking.*

Just about to leave the long drop when the phone rings, thinking: that's a muffled ring tone'

i'm sick and tired of living in a stupid country where i dont fit in, its either cold, sunny but with a galeforce wind, or absolutely bucketing down or a triple combination of all three

hears phone but ignores it...feels who ever is calling can wait

zimajays
07-03-2007, 04:38 PM
I sooo f**king fed up with the heap of shit that gets loaded on my sholders... I is only one person...

picks up bucket, throws it down the hole and sits on the sand. The smell in the long drop is better then outside - peace and quiet.

why are women soooo bitchy, why can't they just say what they gotta say to people and be done with it, why make silly inuuendo's and bitchy comments behind others back...

* zimajays pulls knife out her mates back and goes looking for the b***h who put it there - then comes and puts sand down long drop... and then throws b***h down there as well

trouble
07-04-2007, 08:59 PM
why can't men ever just be honest about what they want from you??! it's always game playing and b*ll*cks and if you pull them up on it and say what the f*ck are you playing at you get attacked for being a pushy demanding woman??

*trouble considers throwing man in question down long drop but realises it wouldn't be worth the hassle so just throws sand down and wanders out in the pouring rain*

Chel

I would like to moan about the fact I stood for over half and hour waiting for a bus today. I had two heavy bags of shopping and was wishing I had taken the car and taken a chance on finding a space and paid the parking fee. Sigh.

zimajays
07-16-2007, 08:57 PM
Why is it that financial institutions think they are smarter then me. Why do they always start thier arguments with "NO BUT" I am fed up with arguing with the tax man, (by the way UK tax Department = Zim Tax Department - no difference, these idiots also lose forms) only to be proved right 2 months down the line by which time I am dealing with another zit infested lightie who has flourescent light burn - grrrrr. And then there are the banks - OMG they are so tight bloody sparks fly out of thier bum holes, at the mere mention of refunds - idiots x 3!

* zimajays mumbles bloody banks, bloody tax man, bloddy bloody bloody while throwing sand down the pit. Notice's the sand is getting a bit high - might be time to dig another hole!

Chick
07-17-2007, 12:40 AM
* Chick bags not digging another moan hole.

My moan is: The boyfriend offered to cook dinner whilst I went out to do some work. When I returned at 8.45pm he was playing computer games and no food cooking. We finally ate a simple pasta dish at 10.30.

* Chick chucks down sand, slaps hands together to brush off sand and leaves the room.

I haven't done the washing for a bit - its been raining and I can't be asked - anyway no matter how I put my one and only clean pair of knickes on this morning they felt back to front - so I spent the whole day digging them outta my butt - coz they have a bloody personality problem - in as much as they think they are thongs - well I fixed them - they are now shredded and in the bin!

throws sand on the heap that is growing!

FerrariSucks
07-18-2007, 01:30 PM

* Chick enters the room in a huff.

Muttering to herself: I posted 25 jokes this weekend and I did not get one wang, not one!!

* Chick sniffs - looks around for paper - a water bucket - a pile of sand - anything - to no avail.

She screams: *who's in charge here*

Chick
08-09-2007, 12:43 PM
My moan is about Car Dealer garages. The relay thingie went on the car therefore it did not recognise the key and would not start. We had to get it towed to the Fiat garage. The spare part cost £12.53 the labour cost £152.99. Total bill inc. vat. £194.49 and I had to get a taxi to the dealers to pick up the car £10.

* Chick dumps keys down pit and considers selling car

Chick

My moan exactly, Chick! I wish I was a hedgehog so I could hibernate till Easter !!!!!!!!!!! Didn't go away this summer because of the weather so am going away to Wales next month for half-term. Chosen a place with an indoor heated swimming pool so I don't care what the weather's like. Think I'll buy a sun-lamp for SAD (seasonally affected disorder) and I'll just pretend!!

Chick
09-28-2007, 05:16 PM
Gonna moan about the price of sun-lamps for SAD. They are so expensive and you have to sit in front of them for up to 6hrs to feel the effect....

wipes hands on jeans again

I'm not here to moan today, I've just come to get the phone that I dropped down the poo shute.

This is my moan for the week:

I am seriously tired of people showing off their bum cracks..... yesterday I had the worst eye-full going. This woman wearing jeans that sat just above her groin, bent down to pick something up in front of me and my man as we casually walked along the road...... and there it was - the longest, whitest bum crack.

You see them in the pubs, supermarkets, street, bus - these cracks are everywhere - I say - put them away.

dallas
04-08-2008, 11:43 AM
I agree with you there!!! and if you are going to show your undies make sure they dont have holes in them

Here you are love, have a moan, it's good for you to let it all out.

Ya, you just had to mention the string vest - I love my stringy. It's only other people who moan about it.

*clearing my throat*...for the last 7-10 days, we (here in Zim..well, at least those that use Afriglobal/Iwayafrica) have not been able to get to virtually anywhere that is of interest. Hubby has been trying to do research pertaining to the socio-psychological reasons for people getting HIV/AIDS. 95% of the sites he would normally visit are not available.

At the moment, I have been waiting 30 minutes for the front page of FB to load.

Lots of other arrgh's, but...

not much I can about it. At least they're not rioting here......

ah Chick, you're my saviour, why didn't I know about this thread before??

Ok, I have a big whinge today. 6 weeks ago, I send out an e-mail to all of our West Australian clients and said we were putting on a training session on friday the 1st of July, could they let me know if they're interested. I got 2 or 3 back...then last week I got 6 people who wanted to join, and this morning, I got 3!! Seriously??? The day before?? I've already ordered the catering, and I've already had the manuals done, now I've got to run around like a blue arse fly increasing the catering, and doing manuals and driving all the way to the trainers house to drop them off. Did they just wake up this morning and think "oh, I don't feel like going to work tomorrow, maybe I'll go to that training penny was talking about and get a nice lunch??"
AGGGHHHH

Chick
06-30-2011, 11:23 AM
So glad I found this thread, might be spending a while in here.

After a terrible evening spent bending over the toilet chucking - I have to wake up at 8:00pm to take meds. Then husband woke up early (unusal) so I was woken again, after 2hrs max restless sleep. I have four appointments todays. One nurse visit at home and three at the hospital which means from 1-5 I will be at the hospital. I am that tired and grumpy I think husband is in for a harsh time too......

Then the dishwasher pump decided to pack up and machine spewed water all over the kitchen floor. Hand washing dishes - my least favourite task.

This is one grumpy - pissed off - tired of it all CHICK

Wangs would help folks, aww go on, cheer me up please.

Well, I just got soaked in the rain - eish it was like being back in Zim - it poured it down. I was out at lunch (teach me to go shopping) and it started chucking it down. Well, my handbag sized brolly kept the front of my hair dry, but the ends are wet, by shoes are soaked as are my tights and the bottom of my suit! Not a happy bunny! :smiley6:

I have a moan. The accounts lady in our office is useless. Here is an example:

On Friday, the day that she works and I don't, she must have put a whole tree through the shredder and broken it. I don't think she understands that if you can only put through 6 pages at a time, that means maximum 6 pages every time. Anyway, so it's broken, but she doesn't bother telling anyone, or leaving me a note or anything, no no, she just goes off on holiday for two weeks and leaves like that.
I rang the people we bought it off, and they said if there's paper stuck in the cutters because you put through much through, take it out, and it will revive. So I take the machine off, straighten a paper clip and dig paper out of the cutters for half an hour, and now it's back in action.
My moan is why the bloody hell didn't she do that. Or at the very least acknowledge that she'd killed the stupid thing!!! Honestly, it's hard to get good help these days.

I can't always catch a nap during the day, appointments - busy etc - so I am getting max 6 hrs a night. Makes me tired and grumpy and I am the wifey from grumspville at the moment.

I get so angry with the ople hopak in bay spaces too. Generally its people with fancy cars that dont want them scratched. I actually said something to someone once. A well dressed lady in her early 30's. She was climbing out of a bmw in the only mother and babyspace, while i had to walk with 2 kids from the other side of the car park. She came out with the most with the most bizarre answer when confronted her.... "i have 2 children at home" ehh????? So that gives you the right to park in the baby space????? I just told her in that case she should know better. Well, I've never heard such language come out of a woman before. Screaming, swearing, cursing at me. I just walked off. Security guard had a word and moved her along....

They should clamp or fine peope who use baby spaces without children.DOn't know why they dont. They'd make a fortune!

lol u don't need to be Arnie but it sure helps, i have a mate who is 6ft and change in brass and high silver denominations.

Some dude cut him off so he followed him agressivly to let him know he was angry with him, when he eventually stopped he had some words with the guy, he then got home and called the cops to look at their cctv footage and express their conserns with this guys driving, when he got through to the cops they asked him to come in and when he arrived they gave him points on his license and thanked him for making their job easier, because the wife of the guy in the car had phoned in to say that some giant was beating up her husband.

i got miffed with the guys in our old complex, with parking there were 5 flats 11 parking spaces and do u think i could park my 1 car... ever.

2 flats had 4 vehicles each, 2 never moved as the owner got done for DUI, and he used them for storage sheds. i was one trolly jack away from getting two to jacks to lift their cars and move them out the way, when my other half called the estate agent, and asked them to organise reserved parking for the flats, instead she mailed the two culprits let them know it was us who asked and it caused a massive rift in the complex, however it was great i could park and no one there spoke to us for 6 months it was brilliant

I agree, very very irritating, but beware of confronting someone who has parked in a handicapped parking who does not "Appear" disabled. There are many illness's where they are ok, can walk ect one day and be in a wheelchair the next.
So you could come seriously short taking on someone who you do not think is disabled, The cops in UK take threatening behaviour to a vunrable adult or child VERY SERIOUSLY. So keep that in mind before taking anyone on.

It's not about confronting someone who doesn't look disabled, it's whether they have a disabled badge or not. ...I took Nan shopping one day, at a big shopping centre, where they hire out those mobility scooters, so I left Nan on a bench by the front door, and then had to go and fetch the scooter, which was at the other end of the shopping centre, and drive it to Nan...the looks I got were priceless. So I guess that's a lesson not to judge too quickly.

Yes, I have a moan...

As some of you may or may not know, I really have not had any Internet since the end of June.

After speaking with our provider several times at the start, they (Afriglobal) said it was a problem with equipment in Turin. This bit has since been repaired.

Unfortunately, our connection is still not working. Upon queries, the best they can come with is that "the provider is not servicing that link particularly well".

So, sensibly (I think), I asked what they were going to do about it.

The best they have come up with so far is to offer us another "package" at half the speed (256Kbps vice 512Kbps which what we supposedly have now), at more money per month.

At a time when just about any other connection in Zim is getting faster and faster, albeit not close to UK connection speeds, they have the f**k**g nerve to offer something slower and more expensive.

WTF?!?!?!?!

Winter setting in, Greece a mess, turn up at work to find out someone's broken in over the weekend and nicked all the heating fuel. Expensive at $1.50 a litre. Country is so corrupt it makes Zimbabwe look squeaky clean and to make matters worse the Greek Orthodox Church, biggest land and property owner in the country is pleading poverty. All priests are paid by the state (that's me and my taxes) and are classified as civil servants and can retire at 55 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! on a state pension. I'm not even Orthodox or anything much else for that matter but that really pisses me off. Feel better for that. Bye

Scott... I have been watching (Sky) news about the situation in Greece. I still can't come up with a better suggestion than come to Zim to live (not just visit). Kinda shite here, but not as bad as Greece, from what I've seen...

I've just had a second filling fall out in the past week. My dentist has just moved premises so can't do any work until they get re-accredited (or something). Now they're not answering their phone!!

Seriously considering moving, but other places would probably cost more.... :(

it seems to me cujimmy, that it might be worth your while to go somewhere else where it might cost a little bit more, but at least the fillings stay in!

Will make it eventually, just a matter of timing. The weird thing is that it's the best year the business has ever had ! Explain that one. As far as news goes I think it's just like Zim, if you don't want to get depressed, stop watching the news.

Keep on getting squeezed in Broken Greece. Heating fuel has just been put up by the govt. from 1 euro a litre to 1.46. Just as the tanks at home and the business need refilling.
On the bright side, my bargain basement tickets to Harare at Easter are being upgraded to business. Now that's what I call a favour.
