Tried to find a local place to play snooker. Found one, all it has is a FB page with no useful info. But there are hints that they do other stuff there too like dance classes, sounds interesting!

I send them a FB message asking about snooker prices, and whether there's some info somewhere on what sort of dance classes they do / when / how much / just literally the info I need to give them money in return for goods and services.

They reply with a one-liner about the price of snooker tables.

I send another message, politely reiterating my other questions.

They reply with another one liner saying "we do dance classes for children and adults".

So I give up, and I look up the company doing the dance classes. They also only have a presence on FB, and their page is similarly light on details. I also see that they do classes across two venues, one of which is too far away. So, I send a message asking for a list of their classes, price, location etc. Which ones are for kids vs adults, again just literally the info I need to use their service in any way.

Get a one liner saying "we do classes in ballet, jazz and tap". That's it.

You can have a hot bacon bun. You can have a hot sausage bun.

You cannot have a hot Bacon & Sauasage in a bun. It impairs the flavour of both.

Thank you.

I would disagree, but you really need to add an egg in too.

Brown sauce has entered the chat.

I like brown sauce, but I don't like it if egg is present.

Ooh no, you can't beat an everything binlid breakfast barm.

Lest I open up the floodgates as to what we all call a big bread roll/barm/batch/bap in our respective regional dialects...

Edit: there it is

7 years in the country and now I can't stay much longer because company decides to make me redundant and market is too fucked to get a new job with sponsorship.

Only few months ago, my wife and I were planning to settle in this lovely country and now I've to leave.

It's also not that easy to go back and restart my life after leaving my country for 7 years.

So, I'm royally fucked and still have 8 hours of office to go through before I go to pub and get shitfaced.

Wow that absolutely sucks, I'm so sorry. Puts my rant about shit replies to Facebook messages into perspective, that's for sure.

Hey, a rant is a rant. Some issues ruin your day, some maybe a few months, but all complaints are valid.
