http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category16.asp A Selection of the latest gripes in the category of Miscellaneous from The Weekly Gripe UK Webz ©2006 http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/rss.jpg http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/category16.asp For those of you haven't heard of the Freecycle network, it's a collection of Yahoo Groups that aim to promote waste reduction by passing your unwanted stuff on to people that can use it. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a567.asp It took them two hours to install Sky, after which they left and it was then I realised items were missing from the house, namely my playstation. I know this for a fact because I had moved it so they could get access. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a564.asp Any consumer who has certain types of electrical work carried out in their home (ie. re-wiring), would have to either employ an electrician who can self-certify or notify the building control authorities in advance. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a550.asp My gripe is basically all miserable aggressive people who don't seem to respond to manners. In less than a week I have had to deal with two pompous middle-class idiots who have been ignorant and horrible. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a537.asp Broadband and telephone providers get a fair amount of flak these days, but I'd like to take the time to point out that it isn't always bad and sometimes the service can be above par! http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a535.asp Another New Year has started and I have been reminded yet again how some young people these days seem incapable of having a few drinks without kicking off and starting trouble. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a534.asp Happy holidays? What is all this politically correct nonsense about and has everybody gone mad? I think it's absolutely ridiculous the lengths that some people go to in order not upset the minorities. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a528.asp In four months I will be homeless and there is absolutely nothing I can do about it. I cannot move back home, can't afford to buy or rent a property and housing association accomodation is out of the question too. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a526.asp I don't have a TV and I don't want one. But I also don't believe that I should have to inform TV Licensing whenever I move house that I still don't want a television. I especially resent being harassed and treated like a criminal. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a523.asp Stuck up mums at the school gate! I have often tried to smile and make conversation with them, but the very next day when I try to make eye contact I end up hitting the same unfriendly brick wall again. http://www.weeklygripe.co.uk/a512.asp
