My favourite rant would be that nothing works in this country anymore.
The country seems awash with managers, buerocrats, regulation & legislation.

There are less & less people doing anything useful and/or productive.
Everything has to be managed or regulated ... everything.
Since people at the highest level can't failed to have noticed this basic truth, it must be assumed that nothing works any more by design. (incompetence doesn't enter the equation).

That you can pay people less simply by allowing them them a pseudo-impressive job title.

Ionns, ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE RANTS (173). Just probably thinking you've touched every aspect of someone's life on this forum.

Aye. Sixty-six trombones....ten trombones short of a big parade.

I love the late night drunken rants, tried one once but I ran out of steam. Tried to put laughing smilies in here, but they didn't work. Nothing does when you've got a hangover.

Is that the correct spelling for runt ? :?
You’ll never get mixed up if you simply tell the truth. Then you don’t have to remember what you have said, and you never forget what you have said.

Oh good grief.. he listed 200+ items.. my name could be in there and I'd think I was in some pretty good company.

Why not just ask him to take one item off his list if it is so offensive.

I'd say a lot of those things have been rants (by others) in this very forum :mrgreen:

Ionns.. I bet it would take a lot more thinking to list things you actually admire :wink:

No Bobbie - the things that I admire, far outweigh the list of rants. :D

Seems that if you read a list of 200 or 300 rants by anyone, you have to realize beforehand that surely there will be something in there that will offend you or you don't agree with, especially if you are person who might be easily offended, so you might want to pass over the list.

Personally, I think censorship is usually more offensive and incendiary than what is being censored.

Rant over.
