The rant thread

Hey guys. Just wanna ask. How many of you find it the most annoying thing in the world when you have something amazing on Ebay, you bid and some guy comes along a few seconds later, normally a previous bidder, and outbids you? I am currently bidding for a limited edition signed cd and that just happened. However, I have just bid again and he hasn't outbid me....yet. This means war

Did you win? Get it at a bargain price?

I've been looking constantly since the tickets sold out. At the moment I am watching 4 lots of tickets and have 10 lots of tickets which have ended ranging from finishing price £185 to £378!!! I keep thinking maybe just maybe there will be some left nearer the date which may go for less. I'm living in cloud cuckoo land thinking that but not giving up hope just yet.

I expect we both will end up in a bidding war on some "reasonable" ones and end up still paying a fortune! Best of luck anyway!

I've just lost out to another bidder - £401 for 2 tickets - I was pipped at the post. When it went over the £400 mark, I just had to back down. I feel really ill now ..... and more than a little upset.

Ouch, that's £200 per ticket!!!

Nah. The album was the limited edition signed copy of Manic Street Preachers new album and is now quite rare. I've already got the album in 1 disc format and seeing as it was signed and a 2 disc edition with Richey's journal notes I just had to have it. I started a bidding war with bidder 6 then 8 (when I entered the bids were £12.50 and 7 bids in) and an hour before the bids ended it went to £26. I looked at other signed copies (some going for £39.99), but there was one going for £29.99 or best offer. My best offer was £27 and the buyer has great feedback so I thought why not? By the time the bid ended the item was £31.66 (haha!) So I came out better really, even though the bidding war was pretty heated

You're such a sweetie - thanks for the support. I WILL get there by hook or by crook.

Yeah, best of luck Ticky, keep the faith, I've got everything crossed for you.

Sorted!

I'm still. Up.
I'm not even slightly tired. I should have been in bed at 11. I get up at 7... I am not looking forward to tomorrow.

You poor, poor girl - I'm a full-blown insomniac and it's vile - I know what you're going through. Don't worry, you'll sleep better tonight.

When i was unemployed i developed insomnia, it makes you feel so alone, everyone else is sleeping!
I will sleep tonight!

Look its me again in the rant thread....
Was just in M&S looking at some cake to celebrate payday when some stranger walked passed me, poked my arse and muttered porker before disappearing around the corner. I was too shocked to say anything at the same and i'm now kicking myself for not confronting the bint.

What a b*tch!!!!

I've calmed down. It's cocktail hour in Chez Salli!

Brick dust - horrible stuff - all over my new carpet.

Well, this week's been fucked up
Last saturday, my girlfriend of a year and a half dumped me, and i have no idea why so, naturally, i began searching for something i'd done wrong, and ended up hating myself...
I was staying at my sister's that night, she was kind enough to give me booze, and, in my drunken state, i told another girl that i like her (smooth, no?) she reciprocated, everything was fine until thursday, when she says that she thinks that i've rushed things. Roll on round 2 of hating myself!!!!!!
On Friday, i went to a part, guess what, rushing girl's there! Every time i go into a room she's there, and i did't want to leave in case she thought that i was avoiding her! Got flung out of my house that night, stayed at the person who had that party's house, got let back into my house at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, went to another party last night, stayed there, and here we are!

The reason i'm putting this here is because everyone i'd talk to is on holiday, and i need to vent. sorry!

Bloody hell! Just hung out my washing and the colours' ran. All my white's are now a horrible blue, including a new Rolling Stones t-shirt and my favourite pair of linen trousers The t-shirt responsible was not put in by myself and the culprit will be found *shakes fist*

Aw man!!!!!!!!!! I had a similar washing catastrophe the other month One of my tops shrank!

I'm ill - a touch of the swine flue I think. I feel like death warmed up. I hope no-one else caught it from me last Wednesday.

Awwww, ticky!!!!!!!!! I hope you feel better soon

God, Ticky I really hope you get better soon!

People! Bloody people!
God, I love 'em and I hate 'em!

Oh Ticky!!! You poor thing! I hope you feel better soon!!!!

Oh, and mrsprestwich...or should I say Doctor Doolittle! LOL!!! They haven't started talking have they?

My rant is with the NHS. Rubbish. Where as Boots, excellent.
