Suffering in the world

[Tashyboy]

Fuel pumps gone on me car. Ave walked Grease through the house on me slippers, so insurance claim is going through. Missis T not happy. Flippin Liverpool knocked us out of the cup.

Just had a knock on the door. Joey Witness is stood there and he says " good morning Tash, There's a lot of suffering in the world". Suffering, suffering. " you'll be bloody suffering if you don't bogger off".

:rant:

Rant over am off to break summat else in the garden.

I love the reception I get from some when I knock on their door collecting for Christian Aid...

Most are fine - some ask what Christian Aid is about and so I explain - others - well ... I just shrug

Anyone come knocking at my door begging for money or to tell me how some made up rubbish is going to save me from all evil, gets the same treatment, roll of the eyes and door firmly shut.

I love that some seem to think it is ok to come knocking on my door, and bothering me with what ever issues they think are important.

Do I go out door knocking? No. Leave me alone.

A few folk have notices on their door 'No Cold Callers or Charity Collectors' and so their doors are not knocked.

I do not beg, and what I collect for is nothing to do with protecting anyone from evil - it is for humanitarian aid in addressing poverty.

I think you should re read your post and it's implications to the person you are responding to.

Looked out the window last week to see what looked like 2 Jehovahs Witnesses coming up the drive. I opened the front door, was just about to give them a load of abuse when one of them said "hello, we're canvassing for the Labour Party, can we count on your vote in the local elections?"

I smiled and said "of course you can".

Can imagine this scenario happening in reverse with some of the posters on here

Why should I have to defile my door with notices saying no this or no that? It is better that people who have no business ringing my door bell do not do it.

Maybe if you cover up the word 'Christian' you might get a warmer reception

Couldn't agree more!

I was in one day when someone rang the door bell. Didn't bother to get up off the sofa to answer it and the next thing I know they were knocking on the window and waving at me! I waved back and carried on reading my book. They soon left.

We have a crazy Bichon who goes completely banzi when the door bell goes...that sorts them out. Failing that I have a list of standard but polite responses that sorts out the rest.

My TV room is upstairs, in the north wing. When the door bell goes, I have to get up, wander through the north wing to the main staircase, go downstairs, locate my cats, who are not allowed out, open the door, close the door to keep them in, without locking myself out, open the porch, and tell the Mormons to bugger off.

Pity you missed that lottery prize.:lol:

I live in the sticks a bit down a 250 yard drive. I've only had one cold caller in 7 years, some Jehova's witnesses. I actually talked to them for a bit as a reward for coming out all that way. Didn't buy and dishcloths from them though
