I did miss that tornado of a rant thread. I just had to spend the last hour reading all 80 plus and counting pages...
I'm considering what to rant about...there is so much...and I'm not sure if I'm the type of person that feels better after a rant...yet there was that time when....

Heck, half the day's over by then. I mean, you do go to bed by 9 pm like me, don't you??

I often go to bed at 7:00 pm (or even earlier), because there's nothing on TV worth watching, so I would rather read a book, good or bad. Then of course check in on MR to see who's raggin on who.

I was just checking out the social groups page, to see if I was sociable enough to join one, and look what I found:

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:53 AM.

I thought my What time is it where you live first post was unique, but I guess not. Everything's been done before.

i'm pretty sure you'll find that at the bottom of *every* page on the forum.

it's still nice to find out what time zone other people are in, since on my pages for instance it says
"All times are GMT +1. The time now is 07:15 PM."

(so ? are you sociable enough ?)

You're right, it's at the bottom of every page.

I'm going out for breakfast up the street to a small diner. The cook is Malaysian and Waitresses are Chinese. We're regulars, they have great, reasonably priced, food and can be quite friendly and rude at the same time. It is our Sunday treat.

I'll think more about socializing when I return. (That's an Ian Rankin Rant, if you've read him, he hates the Americanized use of 'z'.)

you call that a rant ? seriously ? that's the best you can do ? that's barely a muttered complaint. the day you *really* want to vent your spleen, take a leaf out of marc's book (see his vitriolic reaction to the imbéciles at the Dymock's bookstore for a truly epic rant ; it's sort of become the "rant metric" against which all others are measured around here).

At the third stroke the time will be "Arrgghh - how many posts do I have to catch up on?" and 30 seconds.

Beep.

Beep.

Post it here, along with his e-mail address, and we can all tell him that.

Bark a little. He'll get it soon enough. But watch out that he doesn't make you show up here to work, too.
