Rant 2 - the one i was forced to do early!/ The naked blog

So i've been forced to do this early so it's not up to scratch with what i want but oh well. Also forced to do it right after a shower without time to get dressed honestly i should get payed for this...

Warning labels!!!

Right now these things are everywhere and anywhere and there are many that would not need to be there.

Look at an ordinary packet of nuts for example. Enjoyed by monkeys and humans alike.

Now just because this same thing is enjoyed by monkeys doesn't mean i need to have a warning on it saying "May contain nuts!" I myself would be alittle disappointed if i ought a packet of peanuts from my local stole just to find they where in fact jelly babies!!!

Not that i myself would be disappointed cause i'm not a fan of nuts XD.

Another warning on labels that is pointless is on soap!

Many labels contain "Suitable for vegetarians" or even as my own soap says "Suitable for Vegans!" Now if i plan on eating my soap i'm not really going to be paying attention to whetther or not it's vegetarian! If i plan on eating soap i wouldn't care whether its even edible! wither way i'm gonna be throwing up bubbles for the next couple of days.

Now wheres my list...

Oh there it is

I have reason to believe that the planner for the childrens leisure in the Falkirk Council is a member of the soviet union or some other Communist organisation!

Children's parks are filled with many fun and brightly coloured things to entertainyoung children and even older young children alike.
A few of the readers of this may well remember that thing at Callendar park that is like a set of pan pipes where you pull up a long pole and then upojn pushing it down it makes a a different noise depending on which one is used.

Now upon more recent visitations to the park i have found this out of use.
Not throiugh some child breaking it by climbing upon or eating it as many children do but in fact due to a piece of metal bolted upon it that doesn't allow the pipes to be moved!

Now i personally see why the council believe it to be unsafe for children and have it removed but instead of removing this otentially dangerous item it is insrtead left there for a child to fau over and not be able to play with. It's almost as if the leader of the area of the council in charge of the park is in fact sitting upon an evil floating cloud base surrounded by his many minions stroking a cat wearing an eye patch and saying in his russian/stereotypical bond villian accent "Mwahaha now the children can see the fun BUT SHALL NOT HAVE ANY!!! now i shall watch as they cry and try pathetically to play with the object!"

Whats next blocking up the slides? The removing of roundabouts? Or even the complete removal of playparks altogether to be replaced by work houses!!!

Ok so a bit of an extreme apocalyptic vision but damnit its what im here to do :)

Ok final item i currently have is a personal grievance of mine that has recently happened. (Also with many Soviet/Communist edges O .o i see a theme!!)

Now many people know the laws on alcohol in UK and how the age for purchase is 18. Now most shops and retailers have an ID at 21 or 25 policy.

This is perfectly understandable as many teenagers look older than they actually are and are willing to use this to their advantage.

Now recently i was in a large retailer that shall not be mentioned for legal reasons... *cough*ASDA*cough*

Now this retailer has 2 aisles for alcohol 1 of which is completely filled with alcohol while the other has one half alcohol and the other is assorted fizzy drinks such as coca cola and the like.

Now my and a group of friends where in the latter aisle with one of my friends who was overage further down the aisle by herself while the rest of us stood in the aisle just idally haveing conversations about general this and thats when we where approached by a member of staff working in the store.

This gentleman walks over to me out of a group of 4 of us quite obviously the same age and asks me for ID

Obviously as i had no intention of needing it i told him i didn't so the man then asks me to leave the aisle!!!

So i refuse to leave seeing as, as far as i'm aware, its not illegal to look at something such as alcohol. I mean if it was something like porn or something that has a rating on it!

What does this man honestly believe that I'm going to nget drunk just from casually glancing at a bottle of alcohol and then starting a fight with him believing him to owe me money?!?!

Of course the man is not amused with my refusal to cooperate and asks if i wish to see the duty manager..

Apparently he wasn't expecting me to reply yes because as we where walking to find the manager he shuffled slightly while i, head held high confidently walking to the manager!

Now the next part wasn't as fun as basically it involved me talking to the duty manager and the manager apoligising for the staff members lapse of judgment.

Now i believe these 2 events are leading towards the future!

An evil society lead by evil council workers who have giant cloud bases and don't let people even look at things!!!

Or maybe i'm overthinking things again...


Sarge Out!
