The first real rule is, it cannot be short. That would be a statement.
The only other rule is you must believe what your ranting about. Even if you change your mind later. A good rant brooks no argument.
There is only one point of view, the ranters.

I'll start with dairy products.
Why is there no cream on my full fat creamy milk? I remember as a kid you had to get the milk in before the birds took the cream. Ye they really did. Our milk came in pint bottles with a tin foil top. The birds would peck through for the cream. Bottles were cleaned and put out for pick up with the next delivery. All milk was delivered by either horse or electric milk float. Electric cars are not new.
Good grief what is happening to our milk?
What happened to butter? Even in the 70's there was farm butter, usually bought at a butcher shop. Salted, Unsalted, White or yellow.

I thought for sure your first rant would be about socks. smiley

Back soon. smiley

HAHHHAHAHHAH, Socks are a fact of life for men. Where do they go? I have my own washing machine. Even counted socks going in. But after drying??
That is a great Rant subject, but takes out women that have never experienced 'the way ward sock'. Unless they are mums with boy children. A good choice is to buy bulk in the same colour. You don't miss the missing ones as much.

That's discriminatory!

I have too experienced the wayward sock or 5.

...but as I've told you Egor (though you doubt my word), many times my ward sock returns, desperately in need of a sock "hair cut".

lol

@ HAHHAHAHAH Wish mine did. I even have a de-burrer type machine for textiles.
AND get used to the discriminatory. I'm a bloke and think as a bloke. Your a Girly and will always think as such. From both sides it is discriminatory.
