Get it off your chest ...

Looks like there's a perfect cumberland sausage about to make an appearance in that picture........ :getmecoat:

And my entry for the list:

Car Light Blindness
People who rely on their car's side lights which are generally weaker than a struck match applied to a duck fart.   When you think it needs lights put the WHOLE light on not just the glittery nipple tassles you call sidelights.    And for those who forget to put any lights on at all I have a specially-lubed marrow to show you how bright your eyes can burn given the appropriate stimulus........ :angry:

And don't even get me started on the blind muppets who drive along with foglights on when it's not foggy, or indicating to turn when the last junction was four miles back. :frusty:

Other people's driving

I'm in the first Lane of a 4...4 Lane motorway I have a 978cc motor I'm happily driving along  my route at 60mph, what do others do? Get increasingly close to my rear bumper why? Who knows they then speed it past me thinking they are the stig then come across my front end very close and proceed to break the speed limit. Happy motoring?  I think not.

Non existent Road works on motorways

Okay road works good,  they make the road better and I get why reduced speed limits are in place to save lives understandable but why why close 3 lanes and put the speed limit to 50mph then 40mph but they implement this when there is literally no roadworks no cones etc etc so it took 40minutes to get 2 miles then people who cba to wait in the open Lane try to squeeze in 100yrds from the road closure well f*** you!.

SKY SPORTS F1 Coverage, got it on in the back ground waiting for the start and omg the "presenter" and i say that in the loosest terms main point is going in to each of the teams bases and discussing how great each Air Con is and the snacks, how many more years do I have to endure this mickey mouse shite before the bbc gets it back. Hell I would even have ITV over them!!!!

Brings me to my rant which is Sky sending me a letter to say they are increasing their charges by £5 a month!!! followed by a 'don't worry, you don't need to do anything as it is all automated' :ranting2: Sky never lost the art of ripping people off


My other rant is noisy neighbours at night, the social cretins that have no consideration to their neighbours and last night decided to sing at the top of their sh**y voices at 2:30am (I don't mind it on the odd occasion but not every bleeding weekend!!). Also whilst I'm at it, not everyone wants to hear your music during the whole freakin day, yes it's nice outside and some tunes will be good but turn the bleedin base down at the very least or here is an idea....turn down the music so you don't have to shout your conversations to each other :ranting2:...5 billion years of evolution and they have little to show for it!! I might go on BF4 and rage it out on there or something.

Much as Sky F1 coverage has its faults, I'd stick with it.    BBC can't give the airtime to F1 and so we'd miss P1, P2, P3, Parade and post race show, let alone the weekly shows giving more generalised updates.   And let's be honest here, 'DC & the shirt' are some of the worst presenters I've ever seen.   DC as a commentator is awful as he misses so much blatant action that is shown on screen as to be unbelievable.   Take for example his interpretation of Hamilton's Q1 accident as 'driver error' - any half-blind granny saw the puff of smoke & brake disc go.   Finally, Dolby 5.1, Sky delivers it, I don't think BBC do, so I'll keep Sky for all its crapness and stick with the greater coverage and slightly more intelligent commentary.

So I've been away with the missus for a few days to a lovely little place on the coast that came highly recommended. No phone signal and no wifi which was a horrible experience. But what was worse was the fact that there was a church opposite my bedroom window that chimed the hour i.e. 12 chimes for midnight with a single chime on the half-hour :sideways:

So after a day walking the coastal paths and an evening of fine dining with beer/wine/brandy I was ready to crash out about 23:30. So I'm just dropping off nicely when at midnight ...

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING :taz:

So (hopefully) back to sleep before the next DING at 00:30.

By the end of the stay I was managing to get through to the four DINGs bit I'm knackered and looking forward to me own bed tonight.[1]

I spoke to the hotel manager and informed him that he should speak to the Parish council to either get the bloody things turned off (what bloody purpose do they serve) or at least have a 00:00 - 07:00 period of silence.

'I can't do that.' he said 'The Parish council are very big on tradition.'

'But it's affecting your business.' I said.

'Oh! How's that?' he said :doh:

'Well, because we won't be returning because of the bells and we certainly won't be recommending your establishment to any of our friends because of the sleepless nights.'

The penny dropping was audible ... but not a patch on the bells.

[1] Yes it would be absolutely hilarious for any of you who know where I live to turn up tonight to chime in the midnight hour. I swear I will shoot you.

I was going to chime in with a response but it seems the experience has taken a toll on your nerves and might result in a right old ding dong if I did.....

[Tutonic]

That sounds most unappealing Oldie.

[Benny]

I feel the need to chime in and ask where you stayed oldie?

If you were coming anywhere near my neck of the woods you should have told me.

Apparently asking your 11yr old if his new 24-yr old Spanish teacher is attractive is 'inappropriate' ..... sheesh!
