Then I snap out of it, grumble to myself and storm off shaking my head at how fukking shit this programme is and what sort of people could possibly ever watch it!
And… I hate all the presenters, especially Ben Sh!thead & that Richard ‘im a c unt’ Arnold!

I saw what he did there Bish, but with a dozen scantily clad good-looking women on view, he watches it, believe me.thebish wrote:General Mannerheim wrote:TANGODANCER wrote:See General, you should run your home like an old-fashoned pub; seperate rooms for things, snug, lounge and tap room etc. Lots of people around me have knocked connecting walls down in a bid to make their lounges look big and spacious.

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.

Bit harsh to hate the shop assistants themselves! It's fecking management who are OBSESSED with it. When I worked at JD, they had signs up saying 'customers must be attended to within 9 seconds of entering the shop'. Or fecking what? Whenever the local managers came in we'd all suddenly get told to make sure we were 'serving people' coz the managers were coming in. Once asked the store manger why, as I felt like a massive nice person going up to somebody who was CLEARLY just browsing and annoying them. Not only that, if they said they were fine, we had to tell them we were there for them if they needed anything.ratbert wrote:Shop assistants who say in a mildly threatening and up close manner, "can I help you?" as soon as you set foot in their shop. Roughly translated as, "if you're not spending any money in here, f**k off"
And if I see that sodding "do you dream in chocolate?" ad on TV again...

Feckers don't understand you when you say Kronenbourg. Serves 'em right for naming them all so badly. Stella Artois isn't french, but Kronenbourg is. Confusing. Also, do we get the red one, the less strong than the 1669 one here?Lord Kangana wrote:That is the Anglacised version, Brucie!Bruce Rioja wrote:Indeed, that and seize-cent-soixante-quatre for Kronenbourg!Little Green Man wrote: Now if we could only get them to stop using that quatre-vingt-dix-neuf nonsense for 99.

Its all that Alsace Lorraine malarky, now Bas and Haute Rhin. The Germans get everywhere. I even found out there is a German speaking enclave on the Volga. How weird (nowt to do with WW2, either.)

On the Volga? How the dickens did that happen if not due to the war then?Lord Kangana wrote:Its all that Alsace Lorraine malarky, now Bas and Haute Rhin. The Germans get everywhere. I even found out there is a German speaking enclave on the Volga. How weird (nowt to do with WW2, either.)

I get on the bus this evening, and say to a fellow sat down, "do you mind if I sit next to you?" to which he replies, "Yes", before moving aside. Que?!

Today I'm just angry. Nothing in particular provoking it, just anger.

Fckg volume on TV.
How it leaps & varies between programmes. How in films it ranges from so quiet I think I'm going deaf, to, in action shots particularly, so loud it almost manages to make me deaf. Then when adverts come on the sound levels increase by about 50%.
I spend the night constantly tweaking the volume controls. So fckg annoying.
By the way, while I'm on about it, is it just me or is there a slight delay between sound and vision on digital TV, so mouths open & close about half a second before the actual sound ?

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

I'm with you on this one Bish - Especially the adverts. I've left the room when they're on because I don't want to hear them.bobo the clown wrote:Fckg volume on TV.

Not noticed any synch problems with digital.
I find the mute button a blessing during adverts and then peruse ceefax until they've gone away. That's the best way to preserve ears!Worthy4England wrote:I'm with you on this one Bish - Especially the adverts.

that was bobo - but I agree (if it helps) - unfortunately this kind of anger is a sure sign of getting old!Worthy4England wrote:I'm with you on this one Bish - Especially the adverts. I've left the room when they're on because I don't want to hear them.bobo the clown wrote:Fckg volume on TV.

I always mute for the ads - at first I amused the kids by providing alternative comedy dialogue for the ads - but now it just irritates the feck out of them* (which is another reason for doing it!)jimbo wrote:

Your mistake Pru. You paid your fare, you don't have to ask permission. I admire your manners, but some fxxkers have none. I just say "Move over mate ". Don't have to be nasty about it, but make the point. Oh, and add to the list women who take a seat for their shopping bags when people are stood up.Prufrock wrote:Add people, who f*ck up the answer to the simple question "Do you mind if...?"Bruce Rioja wrote:And another thing.
