You started it.

I've since been told by a colleague in remission from cancer (who really is a pin cushion) that if they'd hit a nerve we'd have known and jumped about 6ft (I didn't feel a thing). My reaction is bizarre as I've had no swelling or bruising at all. It's definitely vaccine related too as the issue started as soon as I had it. Maybe the injection caused something local which has trapped a nerve. It's annoying and makes me feel nauseous when I lose the feeling in my thumb. Thankfully my arm doesn't ache quite as much and I can sleep.

More a case of Bosie’s mate than Boz.

People which constantly stare at their phones

Dan Brown?

I thought it was a young Maz.

It's clearly TS Eliot

People using the term meds.

Almost.
It's George Eliot. The slightly effeminate look, the flowing locks. It's a dead give away.

poor IDLES

People sending me a meeting invite without looking in my work calendar first.

******* automated telephone services AGAIN. Such a waste of MY time. I would have gone to the king website if it could have fixed it. I dont want any of your king options because they are the same as the website and the only reason I am phoning is bcaiue I have a problem and IF AS YOU ARE EVERY FKING TIME "exceptionally busy right now" GET SOME MORE FKING STAFF YOU **** S

Maybe a slightly controversial one but Children in Need.

The U.K. is a developed country in the 21st century. It should not be the case that a TV channel has to ask people to donate to charity to help such children. It should be the job of a government in what is a rich country to provide such help. Instead of an evening trying to raise money, the BBC should focus their energies on holding governments to account to explain why such children have to depend on charity.

Pudsey would be more effective haranguing government ministers about their next round of spending cuts.

Did this yesterday, no ill effects so far. The COVID arm is a bit more sensitive than the flu arm, though.

Braincell less morons who trespass on the railway delaying/cancelling services as a result, got home tonight an hour and half later than usual. I am always pleased to read when one gets splattered as a result but sincerely feel sorry for the train driver who has to witness that.

The constant fuss over the Ronaldo interview.

A preening wanker with an over-inflated sense of his own importance interviewing a soon to be retired footballer, sulking about not being in the team.

**** off!

It is Oscar. I'm sure you all knew that.

Tandridge Council sending baliffs to remove goods for non payment of council tax. I've got every bloody receipt and I ring them and they say oh yes you are up to date. Stop sending the baliffs then!

People who say they’ve had their “bloods” done, too.

Delivery drivers who literally drop boxes or packages from hip height to the floor, rather than placing it down. I saw sometime today practically bowl a delivery to the Customer’s front door.

Pricks.

Am I being whooshed here? That is not Charles Dickens. Oscar Wilde more like it

Edit: ffs, I should read the thread more

I think everyone bar one did. :D

Thanks for the clarification Maz.

When Dickens and Wilde used to appear together at poetry recitals and whatnot, people often used to say they could be brothers.

5000 votes on a petition getting to change the name of Snowdonia.

My frigging bank (again).

I made my first Zelle money transfer today, and apparently that triggers some extra security steps until it is established it was me making the transfer and authorized it.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate their concern and the steps they take, but I still find it annoying especially as they don't explain the reasons for the extra steps being taken, i.e. no warnings.

What do they want to change it to? Or have they not figured that out yet?

Edit: I just looked it up... some Welsh name apparently us boyos won't be able to pronounce.

He's let himself go since his Chelsea days

Who is that then?


While I knew who it was, I couldn't figure out why Maz posted it. Did he think he was being Wildean?

Ronaldo this, Ronaldo that, Ronaldo whatever. I couldn't give a flying **** about him, but see him everywhere. No fewer than 6 different articles on the BBC's Premier League page are about him, adding to its wider wankfest over Manure, Liverpool, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and now the barcodes. Back to the wanker, I don't care who's the better player between him and Messi, but the gulf between the two in class and humility seems to be a mile wide.

Ironically it was Dickens who coined the phrase "I have nothing to declare but my genius", Take Of Two Cities I think it was. You might think this a very apt phrase for Maz.

:D

Very good point. There are other instances like this, e.g the volunteers the govt used during the pandemic. And recently one minister suggested using volunteers to help out the NHS this winter. On top of that, I understand that things like the RNLI are all manned by volunteers. Even things like the Park run are all run by volunteers, and I’m pretty sure this saves costs (indirectly, due to improving health) for the NHS.

What are they changing it to? Lllyyggtrephbbggttlll? Something that’s easily pronounced?

Peterson?

The stupidity of the panel on the Jeremy Vine show.
1. Complaining about Joe Lycette who has threatened to shred £10k if Beckham goes ahead to take his £10m sponsorship from Qatar for being the face of the World Cup. Beckham is to earn £150m not 10. How the fk do these twits not know.
2. They were moaning about the Artemis rocket saying it was a waste of money. Not one of the fkwits mention Helium 3, which is ultimately the real reason for the launch.

The Instagram generation in the gym.

I visit a gym for a dose of positive hormones, to stop myself having a heart-attack and to make some space for the occasional custard slice. I do not go because I enjoy having to avoid your camera tripod that you've set up in the hope that Gym Shark will send you free clobber. And also don't get muchos when some poor group of young men is looking at you. They don't fancy you, they just think you're a dick.

I decided to work at a local business today - it's a multi-use venue (cinema, cafe, etc) with a large open space with lots of tables where they encourage people to come and work. I can't believe the number of people with laptops who come and work without buying a tea or coffee to support the local business providing the space/heating/electricity. If you've got a professional job where you can work remotely on a laptop, surely you can afford to buy a tea/coffee/bit of cake?

Idiots, especially arrogant idiots... now that's a collective 'thing' isn't it?

An arrogance of idiots?

Are you aware that the biggest growth operation in the UK is foodbanks? You may wish to re-evaluate your definition of a rich country.

I'd also suggest that Rashford actually offending Tory politicians on stuff like that and school dinero means they really are several steps removed from where wealth should be distributed. To them and their supporters the needy are all feckless wastrels that should be in workhouses. It is a mindset that is unable to consider the privileges that have spared them from the possibility of the same fate. The bank of mummy and daddy got them through the arduous path of decent school, uní, shoe-in job or immediate political career. They seem to think everyone had those same chances. Or are unable to compute the possibility that other people haven't. Worst still are those that believe the lower classes are there to serve the interests of the well off. I fear at least a couple of those have been high ministers and PMs in recent years.

That is why Children in Need is needed.

I think that is a fair post.

Iand i bet the soppy ponces all beat on to the mates at work what an azaming little coffe shop they have found. WfH muppets

Have you embraced Rastafarianism?

Yes especially:p:afro: when posting using my phone

Is it an I and iPhone though?

Bombaclaat.

The free WiFi for the price of a skinny latte is probably the clincher :rolleyes:

Regretably, you have missed the original point. The poster decried that said wankchops were piggybacking on the free wifi, electric, tables and chairs WITHOUT even buying a skinny latte.

Poncetastic.

Then on their same electronic devices posting pics about what a great location they have found.

Personally, I would naturally feel ashamed to be doing that. Even when I have taken the odd class in Starbucks, I usually have a couple of coffees. Or a coffee and later a juice.

Working class people, voting for the CONservative party- moaning they have no money- but saying"I do vote CONservative because whats the alternative"!

It"s akin to Palace being at the bottom of the league by 20 points at christmas- but not wanting to sack the manager as the new bloke might be worse!:rolleyes:

I can tell you why some working class folk vote Conservative.

People saying brexit is working! It may work in future generations-thou i doubt it- but anyone who thinks its actually working now is probably also thinking we will win the champions league next season!

prey tell:shy:

They get hung up on the idea that while they're getting up at Sparrow's fart to go and do a tough job for not a lot of money, some of their neighbours are sleeping soundly in their beds because they're benefits claimants. Also, people erroneously equate 'working class' with 'no ambition'. A lot of working class people aspire to what the Tories have.

Why dont they look to the top earners and want to vote for a party that would claw back some of that off shore loot, rather than look down at the people at the bottom?How can they vote for a party that carved up the best part of £47 billion NHS PPE money- to friends of bungle in a dog canning company- now dog food and PPE R US, and a pub landlord, going from food and drinks- to , food, drinks and PPE are us?

People that bleat on CONtinuously about the same subject on the Holmesdale Online, who then sign up for the BBS to CONtinually bleat about the same subject, yet use the wrong forum to do so.

:jerkit:

New members who use the wanker emoji when they've been called out for posting in the wrong forum.

Now thats more like it- just finding my way around thanks, although i was a member here 15 years ago to be fair, just for the record.

I guess you were banned.

Theres a way to talk to people-a simple- youre in the wrong thread mate- would suffice!

Yeah- but after over 4000 posts in my thread- i had all the right wing nutters goading me- suprised i lasted so long!

What an odd fella/reaction.

I mean on hol, not on here.

Anyway, im in the wrong thread obviously, so will try and find the right one, no offence people, take care

It’s never the wrong thread to stick a knife into the Tories.

Thanks, you have saved the day Jo!:angel:

You’re welcome, Roy.

Just a message for proud, since you were banned....sorry, last posted, a Politics forum has been set up. That was due to the brexit boys not liking their stupidity being seen all over the bbs. Hth

thanks Joe, youre not from blackheath way are you?

Nope.

Thanks

Ah, ok, just reminded me of someone at palace, no biggy.

I wasnt banned on here, i was kicked off holmesdale online , but not here, just to clarify!

Only a matter of time....

Wife just come in and said daughter has told her to ask if we have an Amazon Prime subscription. Apparently Amazon are going to relaunch Neighbours.

Tell her you don’t have Prime but you will get it if she pays for it and hope she doesn’t find out it will be on Amazon Freevee ��

Self service tills in Marks. Get to the end it asks you if you would like a bag. Yes. How many? 1. Would you like any other bags.....no if I did I wouldn't have selected 1. Stop asking stupid questions

You had me at Self Service Tills...

If the DIY jobbies are so great, why do they need so many staff to explain how they work and put them right when they go wrong? They could open a few more proper tills if they closed the poxy DIY ones and re-deployed the presumably till-trained staff to normal tills.

Self Service tills are presumably why so many people are being dicks and clogging up queues at kiosks with far more items than they should. Lunch items and newspapers only. How can I get my lottery ticket without waiting for ever?

And what happened to the 6-items-or-fewer/basket only tills? (They called them '6 items or less', but that is another argument.)

Things breaking a day or two after the guarantee runs out- coincidence? I don"t think so!

Phone companies not updating the old phone you have kept safe and looked after-only to be made redundant because the updates aren"t sent- so you go and buy a new one, although hopefully not from the same company!

They should have to pay for a new phone.

The bureaucracy involved when selling a flat, I have to get 3 other co freeholders to sign a document saying they agree to my new owner taking over my freehold, 999 year leasehold- each must sign with photo id, an independent witness must also sign with phone number and address, the other 3 freeholders must also provide a recent utility bill. Not to bad you might think, but none live in the actual flats, one is up north, and has dementia, is 80 0dd and doesnt answer his phone! Let alone reply to the form i have sent him!And all these things can"t be done online- the solicitor doesn"t work that way!

;) Nice idea, I will put it to them!:)

Spain's greed inspired tax laws, which mean that as a singer I would have to register as autonomo (self employed status for tax, about 300€ min a month) for me as a solo act, another for the duo I'm in and then a third for the band I'm in, also meaning the other three members would have to do the same. All that if we want to play in hotels and for wedding organisers. Looks like we ain't playing hotels or weddings next year.

Was this the same pre brexit? Or because we are no longer part of the EU?

That’s not right, I don’t think. You just do it in a show by show basis and the promoter pays the tax.

Went to the newly restored Battersea Power Station today. Impressive restoration, same expensive brand shops as every other upmarket shopping centre but dogs everywhere - in the shopping areas, in the shops, in the restaurants. When did that become the norm? Won't be going back again.

:angel:


Are you sure you never went to the dogs home??

Feckin legend. :afro:

Watched the promo video, think its part of the sell, you can bring your dog. Also Battersea being part famous for a dogs home. Its ,£15 to go up the lifts for the view.

Thats direct from my gestor.

Same pre Brexit.

They’re probably trying to stop him singing.

[QUOTE=Maidstoned Eagle;16737165]Thats direct from my gestor.[/QUOTE]

Well - it’s how we do it when we promote gigs - the promoter’s entered a commercial relationship with the musicians in which the promoter acts as employer for the duration of the gig. And so we have to pay IRPF, you don’t pay autónomos. But I guess maybe there’s some circumstances I don’t know about.

Talent tax?

You’re horrid, like West Country boy. A pair of horrid fellows.
