Nope just FM in my car. All the stations are crap now

Especially when they don’t concede when given the research ;)

To be fair, it would look a bit weird if he's 26

And I've told him this time and again.

When you are watching live football on TV and they show multiple replays of the incident that just happened and you miss the next passage of play. Bastards.

I'm almost certainly being thick as mince here, but don't understand your post.

I was just wondering how you managed to get horny-handed.

Maybe that arial in the car needs replacing.Have you checked all the connections including the earth wire?Possibly something has come adrift.
Maybe an island thing,my 20yo T4 has no problem picking up stations with it's original arial.

Worse still, is say someone does a mazy run and then gets tackled, they cut to the bloke’s disappointed face in a close up for 7 seconds whilst the play has clearly moved on and we can’t see nothing but his gormless face !

The picture of Baker and Lineker on their podcast

What an odd smile by Lineker.

Danny Baker annoys me for a multitude of reasons

Titans of smug

I do miss Baker's phone in show from back in the 80's/early 90's on the way home from the game. Was it 5 Live? Got a dig in at us at every opportunity.
Then he quit and was replaced by that ugly tory mp whose names escapes me so that put the kybosh on that!

Mellor?

Ta. That's the ugga.

That's the fellow. David Mellor, the toe sucking, Chelsea "supporting" tory twat.

This live your best life crap

Miserable bar staff.

And you wonder why no one comes into your pub and takings are down ?

Morons.

People who don’t wipe their manky sweat off gym machines, or benches etc

People who still have Christmas trees and lights up. It's Jan 19th FFs

Also, girls who spend 40 minutes on the hip aduction (arse growing machine). I get that girls feel a big arse is one of today’s main beauty standards, but do something more productive like some squats.

And creepy old women who stare at you. I could fill an entire thread with gym annoyances.

Nope was the same in my old car and my mrs car. It’s like the power is down. You used to be able to listen to capital or lbc way passed the M25 now it breaks in and out as you go round. It’s like they are trying to make you use dab

Have you enquired, to find out if the occupants are dead?

You're 18 mate, wait 'til you hit the 50's you'll be begging for creepy old women to be eyeing you up. :p

Any women

This.

Except my wife obviously, she's wonderful.

So called Palace fans slagging off a Palace legend:frown:

Mohammed Salah

Not unless they can switch their lights on and off from the other side. Seriously there are shed loads still got them up over here.

Yep he really gets me annoyed. Brilliant footballer let down by being one of the biggest cheats out there. I used to admire him, now I would like to see him sent off every week for being a deceiveing ****

Lights could be on a timer? :)

How water can leak through well tight rubber washers.

And anything plumbing related in general.

I'm with you there.


Why does stuff like showers continue to leak after you've removed all the old silicon and replaced it?


How the feck does the water still find a way out?

Mine is the toilet water tank to the bowl. Started to leak, so replace the washer, bolt etc. between the two.

Scared to do up too tight in fear of cracking the porcelain, but it is bloody tight. Thought I had it... then looked 10 minutes later and there were puddles in the dish I put under to catch leaks.

I see zero skill in being a plumber, just brute force, having the right tools, and a limited experience of what it takes to fix something, by hook or by crook.

NE Patriots and the bollocks we’re going to have to hear about them in the next 2 weeks

Oh dear, you telling me they won?

Had no interest in watching. (either game)

I've lost my NFL mojo.

Both games for the neutral were great.
But yes the Patriots won agaaaaaiiiiiinnnn zzzzzzzzzzzzzz :S::S::S::S:

Same as an electrician, piece of piss. Chase the cable/pipe to both ends and connect up.

Modern music. I don’t want to hear about niggas hoes crack and shooting people that diss. I’ve been through decades of music and loved each iteration but it’s now so negative. Bring back some proper rage against society that each previous decade has not this miserable explicit bollocks

Couldn't agree more!

Being charged £2.85 for an orange juice and water in the pub yesterday,robbing wankers.The roast was spot on.

Identity political idealogues seem to take no issue with it, but surely this is public enemy number one in their eyes? This is the clearist media image of woman being nothing than sexual objects, and even the female artists themselves overty sexualise themselves. Then the term ‘nigga’ can not even be uttered by anyone in media even if they objecting to the use of the word otherwise a mediastorm will happened due to them saying the word regardless of context.

For me saying ‘the N Word’ is worse than trying to dearm the term, by making it a taboo word it evokes more power. It’s a disgusting word, but there is a reason it’s sticks around more than any other terms, because it has power and is used alot in Rap and films. It carries alot of history ofcourse the word but by arming it, that history will continue. It’s practically the only censured racial term.

To answer your main point. I was listening to a podcat today that said that social movements are not the same as the past. Before people would actively be involved, now it is just ‘liking’ or ‘sharing’ but no active involvement. Although these movements spread, people dont mobilise in an effective way. This could also be part of the problem with music aswell as the corporate packaged nature, that wants to gurantee sales, and typically sell to a younger audience rather than a mature one, where what is instantly popular (less depth) is given more push than what is artisticly bold. Music before was an expression of social movements, that united people. Blues / Rock and Roll / Northern Soul / Punk / Rave / Hip Hop etc before you would have to physically seek out music and be ‘part of the scene’, now you can just let spotify tell you what to listen to and not talk to other people to discover music.

I tried to listen to the top 50 and gave up half way through. It all sounded that same over produced crap or gangsta abuse. I would prefer Joe Dolce or save all your kisses for me than listen to that again. There have been a few genres I didn’t like previously but this was more exception than rule. This however ?????? I HAVE obviously become grumpy.

On a similar theme: Reggaeton

Your error was listening to the top 50. There’s quality rap, hip hop etc out there, you just have dig around a bit or go for the popular stuff from 20 years ago.

Oh god yes.

Do they not have timer switches in Australia?

I refer the Hounrable member to posts 29255 -33 of this thread.

To Skinty's bollocks, preferably.

I don't dislike it, it reminds me of holidaying in The Caribbean. Plus it has the added bonus of not knowing what the heck they are singing about!

I fixed the leaky bugger... Teflon tape and plumbers putty did the trick (hopefully).

I think I will pay myself $375, as I'm sure that is what a plumber would have charged me.

Do you k.ow the difference between Reggae and reggaeton?

Not specifically, other than Reggaeton seems to be generally in Spanish (Puerto Rican?) and seems to have a lot more electronic stuff going on than good old fashioned reggae.

Yep which proves my point thanks :p

If your points about popular rap, yes. If it’s about modern rap in general (there’s tonnes of great modern rap), no.

It was about music in general today not hitting at rap just the general bollocks. I sound like a rabid socialistic, but music seems to be led by corporations and marketing not musicians and fans.

You're 18. You'll listen to any old shit. ;)

Daddy Yankee is the main man.

Hes a complete knob jockey.

Americans who pronouce niche, as ‘nitch’.

Taking an hour and 45 mins to drive 36 miles during the middle of the day... Gotta love Los Angeles traffic.

Still I guess the M25 is not much better.

Midday of the day the M25 isn’t that bad.

Good job you didn't say 12 o'clock, youd have confused the hell out of him.

Smart arse! :D

Midday when AM turns PM.

This should help you remember:

a.m. stands for “ante meridiem”, which is Latin for “Before Midday”; p.m. stands for “Post Meridiem”, which is Latin for “After Midday”.

The ‘m’ is Midday.

There was me thinking AM stood for Amplitude Modulation and PM was a Private Message... :rolleyes:

So PM is AM. Good to know.

I rest my case... just call it Midnight and noon and avoid all confusion. :p

Please please stop prefixing every conversation / statement with 'SO'

So, which is which?

This has become a trend. Look at the sentence you are making and think does it work without it.

An example recently, someone on here said:

‘So Man United are interested in Wan-Bissaka’
Without it it works the same if not better and doesnt come across a wet presumptuous tone;

‘Man United are interested in Wan-Bissaka’

Listening to a podcast the other day they were making claim that the media now appeal to audiences desire for ‘authenticity’ and thus now adopt a more informal/conversational tone to come across editorally as a voice that ‘could’ be your ‘friend’. With the rise of articles from Buzzfeed etc these language trends then cross over to the public as a way of expression.

The worst way is when people show off:

‘So, I just won the award for biggest dick head BOOM’

And as long as no-one says '12 noon' or '12 midnight', even I'm happy...... :lux: :lux: :lux:

I had a fry up on Sunday in Sutton Poppins and they charged £2 for a mug of basic tea! Sadly, I had already had two mugs before I realised the price - so won't be heading back there for a while!

The He Man/Skeletor ads for moneysupermarket.

Completely unfunny, not impressive or clever. Pointless.

I believe I brought the 'so' problem up a while back.
So I did.

...but, it gets noticed and people talk about it. Like you :)

There ought to be an anti 'so' movement

So start one.

Start with a "so" and end with a question mark and it's a question.


Without the "so" and it becomes a statement.



‘So Man United are interested in Wan-Bissaka?’

‘Man United are interested in Wan-Bissaka’

How could we demostrate our dissatisfaction as part of the counter movement?

I’m keen to join.

That is actually a fair way of using ‘so’.

Wasn’t a question, it was a statement, they had a source.

Starting a sentence with 'So' seems to be a younger generational thing.
It's grammatically wrong.
My son does this. He also uses the word 'sick' which means good apparently.
I don't understand this new fangled lark.

I dunno

When did you last refer to a woman’s genitals as a quim? Probably never as language develops and moves on. It is not defined or fixed hence dictionaries adding new words regularly or re-defining old ones.

So I find it annoying that people think language is fixed in the time that they were taught it.

‘Bouncebackability’ - get over it. Even my iPad recognises it now.

Good point. Know what I mean ?

I'm annoyed that I have forgotten what it was annoying me, and was going to post on here about.

I'm a gentleman.
I'd never be that crude.

It wasn’t crude when it was referred to as a quim. It was a quim. Language develops.

A gentleman would surely not understand such stuff and that.

women drivers sorry I'm a tolerant person gay straight black white muslim jew i don't care but women are just terrible drivers end of :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:

George Carlin wouldn’t agree with you.

Just because language evolves, this doesn’t mean people shouldn’t try to protect against incorrect use. It may be a losing battle but I dont buy this commonly reported idea that language evolves so therefore we should just accept it. Take ‘literally’ it is purely used wrongly.

Again that is fair use of ‘so’. He is using it to conclude a point from the previous paragraph.

People use it as a way of saying ‘look what I found out’ or ‘Let me update you what I’ve been up to’ when they start a sentence that hasn’t had any connection from anything previously said. Which is why it has a pretentious narcissistic tone, suitable to the social media age.

Popcorn. Why do people eat this shit. And why only at the cinema.

Its the smell that gets me.
Cant remember the last time I walked into a cinema and didnt smell rancid old popcorn wafting through the place. Puke inducing.

You're living in, and speaking, the wrong country/language if this is what you want.

If this kind of thing is so important to you should move to France or Spain where they have "royal academies" to look after their language.

English on the other hand does not and never has. It's totally flexible. Use a word in a certain way (usually, enough times) and that's it, it enters the lexicon. No language overlords. That's English.

Talking of George Carlin, while stuck in traffic yesterday I was listening to the comedy channel on the radio. They were playing 5 or 10 minute skits from numerous comedians.

Robin Williams and Eddie Murphy had me laughing my head off, which might have looked odd to fellow traffic jam drivers. Jerry Seinfeld was also good, in typical Jerry Seinfeld manner. Plus a couple of others that I had not heard of.

The rest would at best be annoying... if you yell at the top of your voice and and every other word is "****" it does not make you funny. Plus, not sure gay women make me laugh either... you just sound like you have a chip on your shoulder, not funny.

I have to say that I had a few laughs at Andrew Dice Clay.


I bought some ADC tapes in California many moons ago and back in England, me and a mate nearly wet ourselves on a car journey.


I'm not proud of it though, :D
