Today I'm angry about.....

[jimbo]

How time flies, jimbo. Never mind, at the first sniff of a chippy or a soggy meat pie everything will snap back into place.

I've still got another month out here yet! Just finish work this week so have the rest of the time to travel!

[Prufrock]

Today I'm angry that the Politics thread won thread of the year. No-one even cares about Politics. Bugger caring about stuff and be ANGRY.

That is all.

today I am mostly being angry about the phrase "technical player" when applied to footballers...

wtf does it mean?

you can have a "tecnical term" - applied to science or art
you could have great technical skill - as in an artist and fine brush-work

but a technical player?

it makes me cross! grrrrr....

Similairly, saying ''the boy done fantastic'' grates on me like nails down a blackboard.

Lazy use of English which makes people sound moronic. I sometimes find myself shouting at the telly. ''He did fantastically well. FANTASTICALLY WELL!!!!!!''

Oh go on then whilst we're doing "phraseology".

Yesterday whilst listening to the end of the Golf, the commentator said that Oesterheuizen's (no apologies for spelling) wife came on in wellie boots.

No, no, no.

He could have had "wellies", "wellie bobs" or "wellington boots" but NOT wellie boots.

Kate Moss, Katie Price, members of Girls Aloud and Gok whatsit decide what they're called these days, not tradition. Pink creations and wellies covered in a liqorice allsorts pattern, etc, don't deserve the term " wellies" anyway. Real wellies are black, tough rubber, weigh a ton and leave red marks round your shins. Best worn with footy socks to combat this.

They're green in my neck of the woods, more often than not.

OK, yahh!!

Folk living in desirable areas, often villages in the Lakes or other equally rural spots, complaining that 'locals' have to move away cos they can't afford to buy homes

Well, who the fcuk sells to 'outsiders' at inflated prices, you dicks

Erm other local people? I assume people don't sell their house as a second home and then complain they can't afford to buy their house back?

Good song about yon countryside with the best line in a song ever written. This is a cover but th'original guys are all from knobs on phone cameras.

Wellies, wellie boots are fashion items. Mens' wellingtons are hardy footwear that come up to the knees but are then turned over to come halfway up the shin. Mine are dayglo orange but that's for practicality. You wouldn't catch me in multicoloured/patterned monstrosities more than you would catch me with a makeup compact. Except when I'm with the STABS and Crabs.

daringly leaving my helmet visor up - cos it is HOT here - and getting a bee in my eye at 65 MPH for my trouble.... (won't be doing that again!)

I used to work with a guy who lost an eye in a similar scenario. I kid you not.

I believe you a bloke over near Settle got a sparrow that shatterd his visor was lucky to stay on, what a mess tho!

Back in the days of my two-wheeled adventures, I had a helmet but no goggles (visors were the big perspex things used as windshields). Riding twenty miles in the rain ws nobody's idea of fun and a well-meaning colleague at work gave me a pair of goggles. First time on they started to fill up with rain and eventually I had to stop because I couldn't see th handlebars. On examination I found the goggles had mesh tops. They were welding goggles.

I’ve said it before ill say it again, Coffee shops. I despise these places with a ferocious passion.

But you know what it’s like when you’re up early and haven’t slept particularly well, a nice hot strong cup of coffee is just what you need, and not the freeze dried tasteless choice provided at the office.

“white coffee please”

“huh?”

“just a regular white coffee please, a filter coffee with milk”

“err… yeah but do you want a.....”

“WHITE F*CKING COFFEE ARRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH”*

Not just that, all the other punters are looking at me like ive got my cock out or summat, smug pretentious tossers with their twatty foot high cardboard cups of caramel mocha wankachinno.

I have the same experience every time I attempt to use one of these hell holes, lesson updated. I won’t set foot in one again for another 2 years or so now until this morning’s episode has escaped me.

Stick to McDonalds for my brews, can’t fault em.

*slight exaggeration.

McDonalds coffee is ok - you would still get supplementary questions though...


“white coffee please”

“huh?”

“just a regular white coffee please, a filter coffee with milk”

“err… yeah but do you want fries with that?.....
muffin? blisteringly hot apple turnover? any sauces? ”

“WHITE F*CKING COFFEE ARRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH”
