Nice people
As I said, I was at Hayseed Dixie the other night. This time at Monteys in Knaresborough. I’d just like to add my thanks to the staff. On first entering I had to give up my camera due to the conditions imposed by the record label.
However, they promised to have a word with the band and if they gave it the nod they’d come and get me. True to their word, before the beautiful Bex took the stage, they located me and handed me my camera.
In addition, when Sharon and her pop got there, the door only had 8 tickets left. Sharon’s mum couldn’t make it so they had a spare. People with spares were noted and when they ran out, bouncers came wandering up to locate those with them so they could pass them on outside – at cost. No toutage allowed.
Thank you one and all. And, incidentally, I’m convinced the bar staff are hired on:
a) attitude – they’re all a laugh
b) professionalism – they pour a good pint
c) looks – every one a stud or a babe, and what babes. I wanted to take them all home with me but I believe there are laws against cramming young ladies in car boots. Gosh darn it.
**** people
Chav **** next door – hardly heard a peep tonight and he was definitely in. I’ll be waiting, though. Have also advised the other neighbours to keep an ear out.
And new entrants for the **** Of The Year Award… I have a friend called “S”. She’s a nice young lady – hell, she’s lovely, but doesn’t seem to have the best of luck. She’s only 22 and very recently her divorce finalised – her hubby was shagging one of her best mates.
Then she was offered a room up here by another friend. Who she soon discovered had been shagging around behind her hubby’s back for well over 2 years. Now, this was her second husband… who’d she’d been cheating on her first husband with. Anyone see a pattern here? Maybe she likes wedding cake. Or she’s just a selfish, sponging bitch.
Anyway, “S” keeps schtum. After all, this girl has got her out of a hole. Thing is, she starts working with the hubby. Gill – the cheating harlot – decides she wants to be with her other fella so decides to divorce her hubby, telling him it’s just because things aren’t working out and she’s not happy any more.
Poor guy is gutted, but cares about her so much that he agreed to declare that he has been unfaithful to speed the divorce proceedings along. At this point, he still doesn’t know about the other guy.
“S” feels pity and after much soul-searching lets the secret slip to her/their boss. It kind of then slips to the hubby. Who goes mental. At “S”.
Gill has a friend called Sarah who’s known for 3 years about the cheating. But, between her and Gill, they make “S” out to be the guilty party. Hubby asks Sarah out (and presumably nobs her).
“S” moved into her grandparents’ flat for a few days while she sorts out a new place to live. She gets a phone call to come and get her stuff. Which has been dumped in the street. Except the expensive stuff. Oh, no. Gill and Sarah have decided to hold onto that.
“S” complains, especially about her laptop. Which is duly returned. With a BIOS password in place which wasn’t there before. Effectively, the laptop is useless without sending it to HP along with a cheque for around £100 to have it cleared. I spent about 2 hours tonight pulling it apart to try and reset the CMOS with no luck at all, bloody thing.
Worse than that, though. “S” has pet lizards. Or should I say “had”. Gill, the utter utter utter bitch, gave them away. Admittedly to a decent animal shelter, but for ****’s sake. If anyone separated me from my pets I would ******* kill them. I really can’t believe how “S” has kept herself from comitting murder. I’ve volunteered to do it for her.
The one innocent party, the one person who’s done the right thing by realising that someone’s friendship is worth **** when they’re doing something wrong, is the one who’s come out of this all shitty. It really just isn’t ******* right.
Right now, I’m in “the world sucks” mode. I want these people to suffer for what they’ve done. I want them to sort that laptop out or pay for a new one. I want Gill to get those lizards back and ******* apologise.
But you know, what? It won’t ******* happen. I’ll just have to cross my fingers and hope their worlds fall apart and they die slowly and painfully, and at nobody’s expense.
Sorry for the downer, folks, but that’s just the way I feel right now. I care a lot for my friends and hate to see one so down, especially when it’s the result of other people’s childish actions. Please no “**** through their letterbox” replies. It won’t help (though I would love to).
Bugger it. I’ll try and cheer up before tomorrow night.
Some people in the world just seem to be **** magnets. Every **** in the world seems attracted to them. Surely, however, she can sue?
Sounds so very familiar it isn’t funny.
The ******** must be related to my sister-in-law.
Ss – she’s actually been to the police to see if she can charge them with theft. Apparently not, for some reason. I’m sure the most recent hacking laws, however, are vague enough and state that entering someone’s computer system without permission and then making changes (especially those that cause disruption, changes or inaccessibility to data) is committing a crime.
Sadly in any case, she’s likely have to start private proceedings at her own cost, which she can’t afford to do.
Why does **** like this always happen to the nicest people?
Small claims court for the cost of the BIOS reset?
Actually, can’t what they have done to the computer be classed as criminal damage, or vandalism (if the two are not the same thing)?
That’s what I’ve been arguing to “S” (and it’s not the “S” you know – different person), but she’s more inclined to buy a new laptop.
If this occurs I feel I may be forced to intervene. And cause a laptop’s-worth damage to their property. Fair do’s and turnaround.
Some arseholes make you so angry. I wish I’d stopped reading after the ‘nice’ people!
Mosh your hugs are worth more than a laptop, I know they are very available so give her a few.. think she deserves them!
Sorry to hear so much **** has happened, will try and chat with you soonly 🙂
Parrot-Man – I wish I could have stopped *writing* after the ‘nice’ bit! Sadly, I find it easier to rant than to extol the virtues of those who deserve it. I suppose it’s my way of getting things out of my system.
Dawn – thanks, sweetie. Hugs were passed on last night, the first at the request of Sharon. I am happy to act as a “hug portal” for anyone else the next time I see “S” as well! She’s bearing up, but it’s a lot of crap she doesn’t need and certainly doesn’t deserve.
Wow – don’t get a comment on such an old post (mainly as I post so much crap every day) but you’re more than welcome. I hear HD will be bach in North Yorks at your fine establishment later this year (perhaps)… I’ll be there, with any luck!
Can I maybe squoosh just one or two of the fine barladies into the car? Go on. I’ll bring them back.
“hank you one and all. And, incidentally, I’m convinced the bar staff are hired on:
a) attitude – they’re all a laugh
b) professionalism – they pour a good pint
c) looks – every one a stud or a babe, and what babes. I wanted to take them all home with me but I believe there are laws against cramming young ladies in car boots. Gosh darn it.”
(a) i love my job, seriously love every second
(b) we have had awesome training
