great bike ..cant understand why it feels heavier than my old v-max lol... TC i can think of better pain relievers but they're not legal unfortunately .lol
Voltaren? Wasn't he that bloke out of the Barry Potter books?
Best of luck Billy - back trouble's a nightmare...
Tonight's rant centres on... drum roll please... NU/Aviva (AGAIN!)
The numpties are not only unable to communicate, they are also incapable of typing a registration number correctly. Consequently someone's had to spend around 45 minutes sat in the back of a Police car, attempting to convince them that they DO hold insurance.
How about changing your entire systems, getting rid of your lazy, incompetent staff and sorting your company out before you mess about changing your name and paying shedloads of dosh out to "celebrities" to bloody well advertise the name change?
Couldn't organise a proverbial in a brewery, that lot!
Swinton Bikes and Equity Red Star managed to get my bike registrations wrong as well. Fortunately it didn't end up with the third degree from the fuzz. Maybe they should combine with NU/Aviva as the insurance company for everyone to avoid and for other insurance companies to unload their incompetent staff.
Had a bad day yesterday... arthritis causing mucho pain ... then, 3pm, my beautiful daughter came home in tears. Day four of the new school, and she is being bullied! Worse is the fact that it is a boy who lives round the corner! At the bus stop yesterday, he threw stones at her and called her various names (some of which even I would not use!).
I took a deep breath and resisted the urge to go to his house and punch his face in, and called the school, finally speaking to a sanctimonious year head who said "there's two sides to every strory!"...Tw@t! There might be, but my girl doesn't lie, cannot fake tears or sleepless nights.
This morning, she did not want to go to school, especially as this boy gets the bus at the same place. She asked me to walk to the bus stop with her which I did...and the bullying coward? HID ROUND THE CORNER! He ran past me and I actually laughed at him...(still resisted the urge to smack him one).
I know I am biased, but my girl is a lovely soul, gentle, caring and funny. She has been through so much, I hate to see her struggling because of some chav who is bullying her. So here endeth my random rant for today... and god help Robert Mays School if they do not deal with this today (not least cos leaving the house at 0740 to walk into the village is so not good for me lol)
Thanks!
C x
have a 1 on 1 with his parents Cissy Stop It Now before it gets out of hand...it will help both your girl and the bully , and hope you feel better soon with the aches and pains .
Good luck with that, cissy. Never an easy situation to deal with 'legally'....
Poor WB - Luckily I have never been picked up by the fuzz (but I have been swung around by the t*ts a couple of times...)
The old 'uns are the good 'uns....
My Rant is about employees and how they can just decide to do things with peoples contracts to save money and load more work onto you, for less money 'cos they have a 90 day clause and cos they can make our jobs at risk, but not classed as redundant as they offer resonable alternative employment which means reducing supervisors to operators at operators rates. 9 All in one sentance!) Make 4 work on a shift instead of two ( but they dont need anyone to make final decisions) I am soo pissed off they dont care that I have just had to buy my ex out and take on this motgage till I am 70 with just £70 to live on after its paid. No they dont give a fuck that I am certainly gonna have to sell up when I have just struggled to keep it off My ex. They just do these things cos they can. I never wanted a supervisor contract in the first place but it was thrust upon us as they were going to double staff 7 years ago and didnt want to pay the new recruits the same as they paid the orininal operators . They were so insistant then that they needed the supervisors to make final decisions. Load of shits all of em!
Cissy
What you should do is take your daughter to the bus stop again tomorrow.
But this time when the boy runs past, grab him, shake him violently, tell him never to bully your daughter again and then to drive the message home, punch him in the face a few times really hard.
I hate bullies.
Seriously, I saw a lot of bullying at school (and was subject to a bit myself for a short time) and it was never nice. You have to convince your daughter that all bullies are fundamentally just cowards who pick on those they think are weaker than themselves to feel strong.
She needs to get angry with him and confront him with it, telling him to stop, very loudly with as many other kids around as possible.
Then watch his gonads shrink. If he has them yet.
Of course, easier said than done.
i got angry with a 'inherent coward' at schooll got thumped to blazes!! but he didnt pick on me any more! they dont like trouble and want easy pickings! you may get hurt but lifes like that!
I got bullied for a little over two years. He'd pick on me because I was the one who refused to leave the part of the playground that we were in just because him and his mates wanted to be there.
I was always afraid of him, but tried not to let it show. Then one day on the school field he started on me and I just stood there as normal. Funny how little things can make you do things you wouldn't normally, all he did was spit on my coat. But it was a new coat that I'd paid for myself and I liked it.
I lost my rag and smacked him in the teeth. For a few seconds I stood there waiting for my beating, but then quickly realised that the bully's mates had backed right off, some even ran away and he was looking at me, frightened, holding his now heavily bleeding lip.
He never bullied me again.
I felt really good all day after that lol!
Thankyou!
My initial thought was to go round his house and smack him and his pious chav-like Mother... but then I decided to play the game and test the new school's policy on bullying.... it has been reported, and I am awaiting the outcome with baited breath. A very dear friend (who just happens to be a nasty back patch club member lol) is planning on going to the local skate park with my daughter on Saturday and deal with the little brat there! Its a huge problem, because she is getting shit locally and at school, all from this little tosser who thinks he is someone special.
Its so hard... my daughter once stood up to my abusive ex husband bless her, and stopped him from hitting me (yeah, yeah, bad i know....but that's in the past)... and I reminded her this morning that if she can stand up to an adult like that, she should have no trouble with this boy (who is about a foot shorter than her!). Easy for me to say, especially as I have told her that she and I have to resisit the urge (for now) to smack him hard.
Will keep you posted on any developments, but yes, I will be braving the early morning again tomorrow and walking her to the bus stop... and will probably meet her after school today as well.
Thankyou all! xx
Bullying has changed over the years it now takes place over social sites and stuff as well as the traditional head down toilet. I'm lucky even though i was fat and wore glasses i never got bullied, think my wacky sense of humour played at part.
Do not envy anybody who's child is being bullied natural instinct is to go give them a whack but like Nanu said you can get into no end of trouble for doing that.
Good luck Cissy hope it settles down and dies away real soon.
Totally understand where you're coming from... and employers are taking even more advantage of the fact that there is naff all alternative employment out there to bully their employees... they know you can't afford to tell them to stick it.
You have my sympathy... You've fought hard to keep your house, so keep fighting and don't despair. I've been on the verge of throwing the towel in several times this year, but I've managed to keep plugging away at it and holding the wolves at bay... it is possible. Good luck!
& good luck with the bullying situation Cissy... Keep an eye on her, BJ's right - there's a whole different aspect to bullying these days that we never had to put up with when we were at school. Online, mobile phones... there's no let up from the pressure when they start using the technology to get to their victims when they're at home...
It just gets better! I saw the bully when I met my girl off the bus. I approached him and asked if I could have a word. He nodded. I told him that my daughter is neither a cow or a bitch or any other foul word that comes out of his mouth. I told him I had reported him to the school and that I would be coming to see his parents. I walked away.
Ten mins later, his rude, bullying father turns up at my doorstep, threatening ME! Oh I can so see where the boy gets it from.
The school are refusing further action as "they are both to blame"... I pointed out that some of the names used, my daughter doesn't even know! But it would seem that this is yet another school who would rather sweep bullying under the carpet than deal with it head on.
I am frustrated and very angry, not least with the fact that some chav has just turned up saying "I'll have you!".......
