Snowflakes: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47117649

since when has playing movies full blast on planes without headphones been ok?

British and Irish citizens who travelled to the I.S. Caliphate claiming they were there to provide humanitarian aid and now seeking British and Irish help to get them released from Kurdish captivity.


Yeah.

The Liam Neeson judgers.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47117177

He described the full context of the story and was honest about how he felt at the time (because it was a long time ago and young) and the way he tells it is from a position of knowing it was wrong - but you still get the snowflakes judging him.

The snowflakes need to be in the same position before they can judge. I guarantee that some of those snowflakes will react in a similar way to Liam Neeson. Rape of a loved one can never be defended no matter the race committing the crime. We are all human, there will be those of us who will share similar thoughts in a similar scenario.

Trying to peel and eat an orange without a knife. Juicy, vitamin C-packed wankers.

Everywhere, trains, buses, cafes, etc. People watching shit YouTube/Facebook vids and doing FaceTime calls.

Say in a nice quiet cafe the other day and some student plank started playing some shit on his laptop.

This is one of my favourite posts ever. It's hard to be angry with them for long though because of the Vitamins.

I've touched on this before, but anything to do with plumbing... It all revolves around the right tools and brute force.

I replaced the tub spout/diverter today, as the old one was not diverting all the water to the shower head.

Old one would not budge, and finally got it off using my biggest pipe wrench. Got the new spout and installed, but had to use equal brute force and the pipe wrench to get in rotated to the correct position (My strap wrench just slipped). I took every precaution I could to stop damaging the new spout, but sure enough there are teeth marks from the wrench on the spout... right where they are most visible.

Now, I don't know whether to live with the marks or buy another one and try again... or hire a smart arse a-hole plumber to do it.

Really annoying. :wallbash:

I agree with your sentiment. But your use of ‘snowflake’? O tempora, o mores.

".... a modern and empowered fintech brand".

Wankers.

Canada goose jackets. Other than the fact they are designed for extreme cold weather yet are commonly worn by people in 15 degree mild weather days in London, the increase in popularity of veganism and anti animal cruelty at the same time as these coats getting bought and worn by ever pleb on the street, makes me think people are either very stupid or just don’t give a shit.

Lycra clad joggers who decide to do their evening run through crowded London pedestrian areas in rush hour.

People who lean against the bars on the tube or train so no one else can hold them.

Yes I’ve had an annoying commute home today.

Yep the trapping of the foxes etc just to make a fur trim is appalling, they end up days in a leg trap before they die. :(

Maybe its Denmark, but FFS it's 'Macaroni cheese' not 'Mac 'n cheese'

This has happened more than once... I get the bill after a meal with drinks, and I see they have missed either coffee, a beer, glass of wine or even desert, so being an honest type I point out their error.

Not once have I had the waiter say, "Oh our mistake, don't worry about it". Every time they have gone back and corrected the bill.

I can sleep easy at night, but does not mean somewhere in my beady brain it annoys me. Sometimes I feel I'm too bloody honest and should just act dumb, but that's not in my DNA I guess.

If the mistake was in their favour, not yours, you would expect them to correct it every single time. So why not vice verse? I don’t get the annoyance.

Yes I would expect them to correct it. And I doubt they would contest it. I’m not sure we are talking apples and apples here? All I’m looking for is a little more, “Thank you for your honesty”from them.

When people use this emoji in their Facebook posts

https://s2.gifyu.com/images/815E04F0...7E314E45E4.png

I don’t know why but it irritates the f**k out of me okay!

Trying to cut the finger nails of my right hand. :grrr:

It's the americanism that grates on me.#

Both.

Use clippers.

Unless you only have one hand of course in which case I apologise.

I would thi k his annoyance is in the fact they don't recognise or appreciate his honesty.

How the f*ck is this news?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-47171459

Very annoying.

Possibly. But he didn’t say that; he wanted them, if I have understood what he wrote correctly, to write off the mistake.

I read it fine, maybe it's just your cynical side being unable to comprehend his meaning?

I don't know what else...
...could mean.

Yeah good shout. I used this today to describe Systems thinking, someone else on the course used it to describe being smashed on painkillers and kids use it to tell their parents to **** off because they dont get it.

It was a lot easier in the days of the standard 20 or so emojis. Now its carnage.

I see your point, but it was not my intent, that extra beer - which I paid for :rolleyes: - impaired my ability to make myself clear.

I hope that the follow-up post ( http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showpost....ostcount=26121 ) clarified what I was really thinking.

And thanks for your support Maidstoned Eagle - appreciate that.

Meh - he's just campaigning to be a Mod.

Gets my vote... :p

Is there a vacancy?

What is the criteria to be one ? How low is the bar set?
:supergrin:

That grieving seems to have become a competitive public sport, even when you've never met the deceased.

I should add that I was in the Elgin Eagle camp, but apparently he has been removed from the ballet... some kind of Russian interference was unearthed.

Getting a flat tyre....squirting that magic potion into the tyre and then having to drive home no faster than 30 mph.

I’ve never been so harassed and abused by fellow drivers. I couldn’t go any faster than the stated 30 mph and had no gesture to tell the many followers I couldn’t go any faster (was legally allowed to drive at 60 mph).

most of the advice this twat gives out is questionable at best, really irritating man

Twat, really? I think you need to look at yourself.

Show some bloody respect!

You don't have a spare? They give you some spray instead? And you have to drive at 30 on a 60 limit road? Wow. At least they could give you a sign to hang in your back window to go with the spray or something. That sounds really f**ked up on so many levels. Tell us more, please :)

Showing respect is fine, turning things into a circus isn't showing respect.

Inadvertently finding yourself driving past a high school at kicking out time on a Friday afternoon. FFS!

A million vehicles picking up half the little darlings, and the other half thinking that crossing the road is a God given right that has zero to do with any highway code.

No wonder the youth today feel entitled...

Yep, he got too Bolshoi.

No space for a spare in a mini. I did the repair work so to speak. It was only a 15 min drive back to home, but took a little longer than usual :)

I tried making a gesture of a wheel out the window but in hindsight god knows what that looked like.

There must have been a queue of around 40....all beeping and flashing. It was an odd road, as there was literally no place to pull over and let them pass, and it was no overtaking all the way!

Worse thing is it was my business car and had my business logo all over it :afro:

I ended up joining in and beeping my horn just as much.

:supergrin:

Polite rejection of my socio-sexual advances

Gated 'communities'

Those that continue to watch tv shows and movies on their iPad or phone after they have got off trains/tubes so are walking along crowded platforms at a snails pace. Especially annoying when they're in front of you walking down the steps at Brixton train station.

Neil 'Colin' Warnock's hair.

Been bothering me for sometime.

It seems to all sprout from one small area located just above his Klingon forehead, approximately 6" above his nose, and then, mysteriously volumnises (doubt that's a word but it does the job), out into the all head encompassing bouffant that we see today.

https://img.techpowerup.org/190210/neil-warnock.jpg

Minis have a spare wheel. The spare wheel well had a habit of rusting away.

Never noticed that as I can’t get past his eyebrows

That gym cycling advert. Any perfume or car advert. Peston and Marr. Dan Snow. Ringo Starr. Sunday supermarket opening hours. Endless emails offering optimisation of my website. Endless emails asking for feedback on some insignificant piece of shit I bought online.

.

Excellent point

The word ‘toxic’ used as a blanket term for everything bad now. It’s a buzzword rather than anything descriptive.

Not the new ones.

Many modern cars have done away with a spare or even the "space saver" wheel.

:D

He's beginning to look like he's on a day trip from the 16th century and should be wearing a powdered wig!

oppswrong thread


Posting on the wrong thread

65m people in this country yet BBC still making news out of one person's misguided views... :S:

Is abit of a shit advert to be fair. Nothing to do with offending but just the language used makes me cringe. I hate print adverts that try to have a conversational/human tone, much like facebook articles.

"Pop" stars who play the piano standing up really angrily in music videos.
Delta Goodrem and that one who sang that New York song come to mind.

Why???

Piles

That's annoying

A bbc video interviewing teenagers about USA school shootings. India in their nice uniform Lebanon with sunshine and relaxed environment, Australia dressed causally and laid back. Girl from UK .........with a bolt through her nose looking like an objectionable “oh look at me I’m a rebel” twat

Horse charity calling me, asking if I would sing at an upcoming fundraising event.....and then getting huffy because I have asked for a minimal fee.

"But(insert name of local singer here) always does it for free"

"then get him in to do it"

"He says he's unavailable"

"I bet he is"

Forgetting that it's a champions league night and finding that the train I'm on from London to Manchester is rammed with 'cockney reds'. Listening to them speak you'd think that they're groups of spurs/west ham fans. For some reason id always assumed that they at least try and and give the impression that they're mancunian

The two guys (and kid) who sit a couple of rows in front of me in the AW who get to their seats 5 mins after kickoff, leave for HT 5 mins early, get back 5 mins after the second half kicks off, and leave with 5 mins left on the clock, making everyone on the row have to move out of the way each time and blocking the view of the people in the row behind. EVERY SINGLE ******* GAME.

Got a couple of those in the Whitehorse too. Does my nut in.

“Toilet kid” as my youngest christened him has the same routine every bastard match. My old knees will need replacing two years earlier due to this little shit.

Genuine question.. if the fee is minimal, why ask for it ?

Out of principle ?

Someone else who had this discussion about charities said that, effectively, they are asking for a donation to their cause (sacrificing your time and saving them money). His argument was that it was his choice which charities he supported (as we all do) and so charged a fee and then donated as he wanted to.

Seems fair. I would have thought you would only do the charity event if you believed in that charity in the first place.

The Beagle street ad.....”we pay out on every valid claim”

Oh, cheers for that.

Or you treat it like any other paid employment

Rugby lads. Obnoxious, pervy twats, even by uni standards.

True. Probably depends how serious you take yourself. Or possibly, how far away the gig is :)

Yep. The problem others have found is once you do an event for free then word gets around and other charities (and there are a lot around here) expect the same. It becomes very stupid and demands on your time get more and more.

Cheers. Totally makes sense.

The woman in the Barclays ad on a bus freezing and unfreezing her bank card.
“Hannah, you shall buy a round at the reunion “
Feck off!

I'm saying the round will be cheap as she is the only one going. Far too excited and it looks like mid afternoon, too.

You need to do that in the AW otherwise you spend 20 mins queuing for anything and everything because of the unacceptable facilities. I am sure the people in the row behind are only unsighted for 10-20 seconds.

But she won't because they told her different venue details because they all f*cking hate her so much.

That's Rodney Trotter on his way to a transvestite convention isn't it?

You can sense that Barclays budget didn't quite stretch to the real Miranda Hart, so they got in a twat-a-like.

Im sure Ive brought this up before but FAT cars. I've just seen a new Micra. **** me, if it was a human it would have a gastric band fitted. Small town car? Nope lardy road blocker now.

Yes, was gonna say, Poundland Miranda Hart!

Occasionally see an old mini... compare and contrast to the size of the new mini

And they still can't find space for a spare tyre

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47229181

She can **** off :veryangry:veryangry:grrr:

Bring her child back, leave her to the life she chose in Syria.

That’s the answer. Why would we want someone who isn’t phased by seeing heads in rubbish bins back ? The amount of money houseing and supporting them when they wanted death and destruction on us! The child is innocent and deserves help and support but her ?

The driver who decided to cut the corner as they turned into a side street right across my side of the road as I approached the junction from the side street.

Which was annoying enough. Flicking the Vs at me as I sat looking in wonderment because I'd been forced to brake hard was also very annoying.

That you have to play around closing hundreds of open tabs on an iPhone. When I close it I want it closed not haveing to do a monthly clean up of all the tabs I’ve ever opened. I know you can kill all but I don’t want yo have to bother. I don’t have to remember on my pc or Mac why if the ******* phone !

you don't need to do that - iOS puts apps you aren't using into a suspended state so they don't affect battery or CPU. In fact there are recommendations that you don't manually do this as closing and re-opening apps uses more battery power than leaving them suspended.

Wankers

Thanks a bunch! My brain had quite happily been a Miranda Hart-free zone for some while. You have now re-awakened the nightmares.
