What grinds my gears...

Recommended Posts

Creating a topic about a natural disaster which could've killed thousands, and not getting a single reply :(

Its not that Im not bothered, Ive read it and Ive seen it all on the news this morning. I feel upset about it. I just didnt have anything specific to comment thats all. Posting RIP seems a bit twee and hollow to be honest. Ive every sympathy for everyone over there, goes without saying most of us have.

Having to drive to Birmingham for a 2 hour yawnfest /meeting which will have nothing of interest or relevance to me just so I can continue to do a couple of hours freelance work a month.

  • No Singh. Where the shit is he?
  • A cough that just won't stop. *cough* See?
  • Roads to the park being too icy and too full of cretins sliding their cars into each other.
  • The scratch on the back of my Rockband Beatles McCartney bass. Sort it out Amazon.
  • The price of all the DVDs. I'm not forking out more than a fiver a disk.
  • Someone fiddling with my bike still rankles. I'll cut your bastard fingers off if I catch you.
  • The more people claim that they have 'common sense' invariably have an inverse proportion of it. Just like 'sense of humour'.
  • Buses, bus passengers and the drivers who drive them. Scum. Sub-human scum.
  • My Archos showing signs that death is imminent. And the Apple Tablet hasn't been released yet.
  • The charging unit for the Wiimotes. It is a simple job - charge the bloody remotes.
  • Every single motherfucker who is abjectly inept at driving in these conditions: it's OK not being competent at it, just leave your bastard car at home and get on one of those bucket'o'spunk buses.
  • The wholesale lack of honesty exhibited by some folk, since when did being duplicitous become a national hobby? How do people smile to your face and yet carp on behind your back?
  • The Go Compare and Compare The Market adverts. I swear I will never use your websites.
  • The loan-shark plot line in Corrie. As if anyone would sit back and take that without going to the police.

Meeting cancelled, snow & bad weather now floats my boat.

They're like the people that find out you've had an education of some description, and then loudly exclaim some bollocks along the lines of 'you may be clever, but you've got no common sense', as if they've got buckets of the stuff. Funnily enough, they're usually as thick as pigshit and have about as much common sense as a Jaffa Cake.

I actually used the Go Compare site to buy some house insurance the other day. I do feel dirty, I must admit. I hate those sodding meerkats though. Someone in our office has put a poster up of them

I was surprised when you said you were coming here seeing as we are pretty housebound.

I'm the reason you've got bad weather, I've been wishing for it, now to see if I can repeat it for the rearranged meeting, a bit difficult as there's 6 a year and I have to attend 5 of them. :thumbdown::yawn:

Agree. Especially bus drivers. I live on a bus route and it's a bloody nightmare. You know they are taught to drive aggressively. Thats fine, but there is a difference between aggressive and dangerous.

Has anyone switched to a Halifax account based on one of their television adverts?

If it is because of the current Radio Halifax/High 5 advert then you are an utter and complete spastic.

I honestly don't know where to begin with that shower of shite. I'm glad they closed my account in 1998 without having the decency to let me know until I tried to use my card.
