It’s nothing to do with you guys, but I don’t want to risk having a go at someone and getting banned from here. Congrats to YH and Grix for the gameaday wins by the way.
Why am I so seriously, not joking about, genuinely want to hurt someone angry?
Ealing District Council
Goddamn idiotic, pen pushing, desk monkey retards. Curse them and curse their stupid parents for figuring out they can replicate to create clones to annoy me. Damn them to hell.
Whenever I stay at my girlfriends, I park outside her place on the road. Twice Ealing District Council has issued me parking tickets on a Saturday. The parking restrictions for that road quite clearly state Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm.
Yet they issued me with tickets anyway.
I wrote to them initially, stating that they had issued them incorrectly, and they wrote straight back saying that I had ground for appeal and the fine still stood.
To cut it short, I spent 7 months arguing with them about this, to the point where they issued me notice of appearance in court for non-payment of fines.
I consulted Citizens Advice about this, looked into the parking by-laws of Ealing District and found that I was completely in the right for not paying, as they should not have issued these tickets.
I phone the parking services office again, spend 40 minutes talking to various retards until I reach David Rumney, the manager for parking services.
He then says something very, very interesting indeed. “You should be talking to Hammersmith and Fulham district council, as they deal with that part of the road”.
I ask him why Ealing had issued the ticket then? Turns out that Ealing Council have acted illegally in issuing these tickets, and they grudgingly admit to cancel the fines.
Hurrah, I have that in writing.
Then this afternoon?
I get a phone call from home saying that a letter has arrived giving notice that bailiffs will call within 48hrs to remove goods in effect of payment for these two tickers.
WHAT THE?????????
These have been cancelled, I have this in writing, what the hell is going on here?
I phone Ealing again, but because of the bomb, they have a skeleton staff operating until Monday.
So what the hell do I do?
Citizens Advice are getting back to me, but right now I want to punch David Rumney in the face, as hard as I can for being such a goddamn moron.
Sorry folks, but I had to get this out in a nice, calm manner.
Normal service will be resumed on Monday, right now I am leaving work and driving down to Ealing, very very angry and very very hostile.
Have a nice weekend, feel free to delete this post, I just had to rant before I attacked someone.
Punch them on the nose Goatboy :D
a Bill Hicks DVD is just about to be released
???
Feel free to delete this thread of ban me, I don't care right now to be honest, I am furious to the point of shaking and almost vomiting with rage.
idiot ealing council, idiot desk retards and little minded red-tape deskbound monkeys.
How can this be? How can this happen?
What kind of halfass collection agency sends a letter to arrive Friday announcing action and to telephone to discuss, oh but office hours are Mon-Fri, 10-4?
What if my mum hadn't been off today? We would have got this letter at 6pm tonight, with no means to contact them at all.
This whole thing is designed to cause maximum stress and unhappiness.
Only thing is, they've messed with the wrong person.
I put a post in the life forum explaining about a little condition called Reduced Tolerance Stress Disorder that I suffer from due to a car accident.
Basically means I get over-angry for little or no reason.
However, when I do have a reason, you have seen nothing like a very pee-ed off man of 28 with no fear, no ability to rationally think and added adrenalin.
Good. Let these idiots turn up at my place tomorrow.
See how well they do at taking my stuff.
I apologise to SR for these outbursts, but man..if I don't get this out before the end of today, I'll do something stupid and end up getting nicked.
This is releasing steam to alleviate a genuine desire to physically injure someone.
It's nobody here in the forums that I am mad at, don;t think that for a second.
However, god help anyone that gets in my face between now and tomorrow, because I will explode like you've never seen in your life.
God Bless amplified anger, there are times when it's a benefit.
This is one of them.
ANYONE that tries to take my stuff gets what's coming to them.
Lesson of this story?
Don't mess with someone that knows their legal rights, has the gift of fury and genuinely doesn't care about conseqeunces.
Thank you for letting me vent.
If these fines have ben illegal, you should put up a notice in local shops or on some of the lamp-posts letting people know, and urging them to claim refunds. That'll teach the bloody council!
:-)
Seriously though, I hope you get this sorted.
Phoning the Council offices, explained my situation that I have to speak to someone and get
"Nobody's here because of the bomb"
"No, you dont understand, I have bailiffs coming round and I have to deal with this now"
"That's one of things mate" and she hangs up.
Hangs up on me.
I swear, as you guys as my witness, that someone will pay for this.
Speak to you on Monday, and if another bomb goes off in Ealing Council, you ain't seen me, roit?

Seriously though, good luck, hope you get it sorted.
