My Weekly Rant !!

March 29th '01

Hello there again, and for all of you who have complained about my inability to write up to the date Rants, here is another fine (?) and exciting (??) installment.
Ok so why have I not written a new Rant in ages ? Well the only excuse I can give is that I have been busy. Yes I know it is a poor excuse but no one warned me about how much work there would be to do on the LPC. OK so I should have expected it, but it is easy to do a degree with minimal work, but for the LPC we are expected to work and prepare 5 days a week, thats like having like a real job in the *real world*. Thats just not fun. Especially when we are paying for this privelege.
Anyway so now that's off my chest, I would like to talk about the scum that lives near me. Yeah its true, there are people out there who are BAD ! I have proof. I know, exclusive Ranting or what ? But its true. If you are easily shocked, I think you should turn away now.
So I drive to classes some days, and I had a really useless piece of a car stereo in my car which claimed to be a cd car stereo, but which ate cd's and refused to play them and you could only get one radio station on it, and thats if the wind is blowing in the right direction and there are no clouds for 18 miles. And yet some muppet broke into my poor defenceless little car and stole this piece of junk. Now I wouldnt be so upset, cos its an excuse to get a new stereo, but to do this they actually bent the door away from the car. Yup shoved a screwdriver into the door frame and pulled it away. No fun, especially in Bristol as it rains ALL the time which meant that I had all the benefits of hoving my window open without wanting it to be. Oh well.
How are you coping with this shocking news ? It gets worse.
So I got a new car. Not straight away, but now I have got a new car, well new to me, it is my parents old one. But anyway, for Christmas I got a new car stereo. I know, I was good and Santa Claus was nice to me ! So I went home and picked up my new car and drove back to Bristol, went out to a pub quiz and parked my nice new car in my street outside my house and went to bed.
Can you guess what happened ?
When I awoke the next morning and went to my car to drive to class, it turns out some of the doors are unlocked. Yup my nice new car (which has been called Peggy) had been broken into. Now surely this is a record. Less than 24 hours and it had been broken into. Now it took me a while of looking and investigating to find out what the evil bad people (or person) had taken, but I discovered it. Yeah they broke into my car, went through everything in it, and stole ............. (are you ready for it ??? ) ............... A PAIR OF GLOVES !!! Yes its true, I had a pair of gloves in the car that my mum had given me and they stole them. What is the world coming to ?
And that is my story, it is shocking I know and I apologise but I thought it was my DUTY to warn you of the possibilities !
Anyway take care, and remember, keep your valuables (gloves etc) locked up well !!
Luv Darren
