[Closed] I may have to go on a murderous rampage

is there not some sort of independent council ombudsman/woman you can escalate this to?

or have they been abolished to save money?

thanks for adding the image, btw 🙁

That still is from Scanners.

Scanners is on telly tonight.

Excellent, thanks.

[i]the rest was defended with a load of waffling bollox. ARRGGHHHH A mix of lies, ignoring things and outright obfuscation[/i]

lol, you've heard of Karma, right?

*adds nickc to list*

lol @ nickc!

Can I have your tandem when you get banged up please?

LOL @ nickc

(hah, wwaswas, mine's in capitals !)

What again!!

nickc you owe me for a tea covered keyboard...

but mine had a '!' 😉

I suspect nickc is basking in the glory of two lol's on the same thread in any case...

*Adds wwaswas and scardypants to list*

What really gets me is some of it could be resolved by an admission of fault and an apology. For example there was a meeting held over a year ago. We were promised minutes but never received them - I know why - its because I got the council boss to promise to sort out some issues and he late regretted this - however all they have to do is acknowledge they got this wrong. I have the promise of the minutes in writing FFS! They cannot deny that we were promised minutes and did not get them

ARRGGHHHH GGGGRRRRR

I'm beginning to suspect that its a black ops operation mounted by Alex Salmond to rid Scotland of all English ...

who do I complain to about that pic?

On the other hand I do own a machete

i cant frikking move till its resolved. I have to pay the counci tens of thousands for flat repairs, they **** it up - I thin have to pay extra to get the ****ups repaired? Adnd a 9 moth prioject is now in its 4th year

I seriously pity the council, having to argue with TJ.

soz TJ, i couldn't resist, hope you get it sorted.

who do I complain to about that pic?

David Cronenberg.

You spoken to your MSP/MP? They can sometimes find the sensitive bit of the cooncils to which a kick is most likely to get a reaction.

CAB?

Are any other flats affected? Would a collective threat to sue carry more weight?

I seriously pity the council, having to argue with TJ.

Christmas card list? Along with the council?

Given that it's Edinburgh City Council I pity you. These are the people that don't think they answer to anyone. Worst people that ever walked the face of the earth.

Time to retreat to space and nuke from orbit or at the very least develop a marzocchi cluster bomber.

Kevin - the MSP on the list to be contacted

th ownership situation is complex to say the least. It ends up falling on me to make the complaints.

I like the idea of a mazocchi cluster bomber 🙂

As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a [b]little list[/b]--I've got a little list.
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed--who
never would be missed!

Just be careful or you will be added to the list

Hold on hold on hold on; TJ is putting people on a 'list'? What, like the Nazis did?? 😯

Oh dear. This is proof that TJ is a [b]racist[/b]. I always suspected it. 🙁

Elfin - you mean that you dont have a list?

I thought everybody had a list. Perhaps that's the problem. More people need more lists.

*puts elf on top of list*

*puts elf on top of list*

Is that to act as some sort of paperweight?

Brilliant!,I have nickc in front from Junkyard.TJ; have you been known to go on about helmets? (Adds himself to list)

[i]When TJ came for the Planning dept,I did not speak out,I was not in planning.
When TJ came for the Tory party donors,I did not speak out,I was not a Donor.
When TJ came came for the helmet naysayers,I did not speak out,I was not a helmet naysayer.
When TJ came for me,there was no-one left to speak out.[/i]

With apologies to Martin Niemoller

[i]If you see in the papers "murderous rampage in edinburgh council offices, irate council taxpayer runs amok" you will know why.[/i]
You'll end up in Barlhinnie you know TJ, oh yes.
(am I on list yet?)

Pah! You will be sorry

That still is from Scanners.

Nope. It's Dawn of the Dead.

Elfin - you mean that you dont have a list?

No point- I despise everybody equally. I don't need a list.

Unlike TJ, who is a [b]racist[/b]. 🙁

Unlike TJ, who is a racist.

Elf, there's a lad and **** off would you?

it could be resolved by an admission of fault and an apology

Do you even know the meaning of those words?!

Does anyone ever get the Christmas card list, 'contact next' list and 'first against the wall when the revolution comes' lists mixed up? Could be awkward.

Elf, there's a lad and **** off would you?

Eh? Steady on! 😆

Do you even know the meaning of those words?!

TJ is one of the few (only?) people I have seen on here admit to being wrong and apologising for any comments he has made, so stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Pops.

Jokey banter fail alert

Don't tell him your name, Pike!

are you suggesting I am from romany stock now who is the racist 🙄

You're a racist.

why not join the Tory party, your machete might come in handy, if you do about 10 that'll leave 489,990 .....

Thanks for the support kit but its OK

I have them [i]both[/i] on the list and they [i]certainly[/i] won't be missed

TJ, If you're gonna go on a murderous rampage, might as well do it properly - would you like to borrow my gun?

so stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Pops.

How about you taking the banter fail and shoving it up yer hoop - sonny.

😮

A mix of lies, ignoring things and outright obfuscation

Zulu - I think a machete is a bit more - well personal and immediate don't you think?

TJ - please add the council tax numpties to your list for me please. Truly truly inept. You would think with the rates we pay them they could actually afford an email answering person and a simple calculator.

My friend Kam lived in an ex council house . The lady downstairs ( still council owned ) wanted a satelite dish . The fitter went up on the roof above Kams flat and fitted the dish to the chimney.
He also managed to break/dislodge about 4 roof slates, so he put a Tesco bag in the hole and tried to wedge the tiles in place.
A week later, about an hour after his birthday meal his roof caught fire due to water in the electrics and he was lucky not too die when the water tank smashed into his bedroom.
The council were notified every day for the previous 5 days about the hole in the roof.
We were shoveling Kams belongings into bin bags when the council bloke turned up to fix the hole in the roof.
We pointed to about 4 remaing charred rafters and asked would he like a cuppa before he started .
There then commenced 2 years of letter writing and denial by the council, who were determined not to pay. Lawyers got involved and they settled out of court eventually.

Elf.- Top 10 mate. Never forget.

Singletrackmind - the thing that really irks me here is the council appointed contractor did around £20 000 of damage to my flat over the last 3 years then went bust. According to the council I have to pay to repair the damage their contractors caused. I am already paying many tens of thousands for the original work. So they appoint someone to do work they say has to be done, it goes wrong and causes loads of damage and I have to pay to correct the damage?

just do as i did with edinburgh council when i wasn't happy with the work they arranged on my building -
refuse to pay, get taken to court.
point out to sheriff that i wasn't happy
get case sisted for council to investigate (after the fourth hearing)
then hear nothing more about it

that was over a year ago...

Might get to that Winston

Elf.- Top 10 mate. Never forget.

Never. There's a certain pride that comes attached to being a Top Tenner. People who don't come up to that standard are just losers, basically.

TJ - surely you're not advocating violence? Is there not a peaceful adult solution to be found?

Oh the irony!

Elfinsafety...I'm deeply offended by the fact that you think TJ is racist. I'll see you in court! 😆

(this is what it's like at work BTW)

Making lists is good,

not nearly as good as cleaning guns and listening to the clowns.

No actually I must apologise TJ isn't a racist and I'm out of order for calling him a racist I'm sorry.

[i]No actually I must apologise TJ isn't a racist and I'm out of order for calling him a racist I'm sorry[/i]
Not good enough & It's no good just 'apologising', I need an explanation of your statement & why you said it in the first place.
(still in work mode here) 😆

Well I thought he's find it amusing but apparently not and now his mates are having a go at me and I don't want any trouble.

Elf - it was mildly amusing the first few times.

Pfft. Bit like your list, then...

*moves elf to teh top of the list*

*Reports TJ to the Commission for Racial Equality*

*froths at the mouth*

*Informs Pest Control Services that a rabid TJ needs putting down*

dunno about racist - after all, he's doing good works in the 3rd world isn't he ?

Pretty good case for [url= http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article7122146.ece ]terrorist[/url] though, I reckon

Just filled in a RIRF (racial incident report form) about Elf & TJ cos Elf thinks TJ is racist (& said so) & about TJ cos Elf said he was racist.
Thats where I work for ya! 😯

There's even a member of staff who's under investigation for it. & he's Indian BTW

Just you lot wait. You will be sorry. When i rule the world things will be sorted out properly

Excellent.

Justice shall prevail! TJ shall come to rue the day he ever crossed me.

(Essel, if you happen to see Gerry 'The Ironmonger' on D-wing, can you let him know his wife's gonna get a lovely new kitchen if he sorts that little issue we talked about, [s]should[/s] when TJ ends up inside? Cheers)

(Toddles off to go and have drinks in his Mayfair club with 'Hanging' Judge Harrison...)

I don't have a list. - In fact, I've recently been feeling rather listless.

I think that nuke sub had a list though.

*Reports TJ to the Commission for Racial Equality*

..which doesn't exist any more.

Do I get a 'get off list free card' for that?

Thats almost what happens when you shoot someone in the head pointblank with a shotgun
