It's pronounced 'hola' FFS, how long have you been in Spain?

Bloody immigrants not integrating. :D

A zephyr ?

HomePro showing bathroom wall tile samples that they don't actually have in stock. Of course one of them was the one I really wanted, but 'cos of the likely long wait before they could get them I gave up & bought something else. Now when the work's done I know that every time I go in the bathroom I'll be reminded of that moment - forever....
B'stards, gettin' my hopes up!

Cretinous driver who got to a roundabout ahead of me (with a sign on it saying ROUNDABOUT with circle & driving direction arrows), slowing then completely ignoring it & driving round the wrong way into the path of oncoming traffic. Moron - gave him the horn but completely ignored me as expected...lucky no accident but definitely saved the guy at least a second in time & 10 yards' driving.

How was he supposed to concentrate on driving if you were giving him the horn? May I suggest being a little more circumspect in the future. Possibly dress a little more conservatively.

strange because that was always where I was told to go and play :(

With the traffic?

I have the feeling that was assumed :sob:

See it, say it, sort it.

People talking about what supplements and shakes they use to lose weight. Stfu and get on the treadmill you sacks of shit.

Of course all the talk of gym/supplements/some other bullshit is done in the rare times they aren't walking to and from the desk that has a constant pile of chocolates on

Able bodied people with no luggage or kids using railway station lifts. Lazy bastards.
Getting stuck behind some slow bastard on the railway station steps,generally cos looking at their phone,creaming themselves over Facebook/Twitter etc.
The One Show at Buckingham Palace,Alex Jones and Matt Baker fawning over the Queen,cringy.

Yeah. What a pile of wank. Who comes up with these catchphrases. Strong and stable. Get to feck.

Its actually pronounced "Ola"

Lily Allen and all her attention seeking.

Maybe a Scirocco?

If only policing was as easy as this. It is cringe worthy.

You do realise that not everyone lives in an urban environment?

There are loads of roads without pavements. JAT.

Gritar

True. And there are loads of roads in the middle of the countryside with 20mph limits, aren't there?

:eek:

What point exactly are you trying to make? :confused:

I know, it's a shock to so many palace fans.

That you've picked on my single reply, without following the chain of events to which I was responding, where someone complained about 20mph limits and there was a sarcastic response about "yeh, why shouldn't we try and save lives"... to which I replied that people shouldn't be walking in the roads.

If someone had ranted about knobhead farmer-types driving like dicks around country lanes and I'd said people shouldn't have walked in the road, you might have had a valid point.

But I didn't. And you don't.

There's a reason why some roads are limited to 20 mph you halfwit

Point of order.
Is it still an official 20 mph limit if the sign does not match the style in the Highway Code?
The one outside my house has a grey circle not red.

They are for squirrels.

Labour politicians who rail against private schools then send their kids to one?Bloody hypocrites.....

That bitch Abbott is another one:mad:.

prefer rasperry beeret myself

Barney Ronay - does he ******* love the sound of his own voice or what?

Pouring my favourite evening weekend lager and always having to stare at this ------- boat on the can! [emoji35]Attachment 48990

Looks like Sean Dyche.

Ha - wish it was, puts me right off my beer seeing that F--ker!

Drink something else. When sales drop they will get rid of the c**t!

To be fair,while she's attention seeking,at least she's not making so called music.

Cancer.

You ****.

Things that annoy you
 

Waiting to be served at the bar only for some fat, self important, greasy worm to turn round and triumphantly grin at me whilst presenting his receipt for the £377 round he just bought, as if somehow everyone should be impressed at his 3 figure spending power.

Wanker.

I got a "tube" in the mail from my bank... it was about 14" long and 2" diameter. The sort of thing they post calendars or certificates in.

With somewhat of a curiosity I pop one of the plastic end plugs, and pull out some highly glossy sheets only to find it is an advert for getting a mortgage with them.

Can someone tell me how they can justify this?

They're a bank - they can do what they like with no consequences. That's the lesson learned from the last 9 years isn't it. Burn em all to the ground i say!

only after I've withdrawn all my money first please. :)

I get annoyed when celebrities go to Africa and start ***** crying whilst asking us to give our money to charity. Worst of all was Bono asking us to fund the building of a well for a small village. He said " all they need to complete the project is £1,000". I was thinking can anyone spot a filthy rich tw@t nearby? Perhaps he can help.

Going to see Phil Collins in concert and he doesn't do Groovy Kind Of Love..........

My simple point appears completely beyond your ken.

Let's leave it at that.

And that was annoying because ..?

The phrase ' x years of hurt'

Oh do **** off

I wouldnt drink anything that associates with that ****

I would ditch the lager and get into the Bombay Sapphire you have handy .

Thought the same.

Going to a Phil Collins concert full stop would annoy me!

Very much this.

Being repeatedly told that if I want to truly help out the Rakyat, I should check out the bulletin board.

These ungrateful swine have no proper sense of priorities.

You might have to help some of us out with this post.

The Rakyat is a tribe indigenous to the Rook Islands whose leader is Citra Talugmai.

Subtitles being used when somebody is talking in perfectly understandable English with a strong accent - either regional or foreign.

Sky. Is there any last morsel of sport they haven't got their greedy grubby hands on.

Most of Rab C Nesbit was impossible to understand without subtitles until you attuned yourself to the Glasgow dialect

Cause I like Phil Collins and I like that song.

The **** outta here

I don't know what the point is you are trying to make.

That he thinks its still cool to dislike Phil.

Oh, he was awesome last night, lack of GKOL aside.......

You forget how many decent songs he's done

Yes, still none the wiser.

Peas in rice

Sumo?

Main dealer car servicing.

Know what you mean but some people do have difficulty with anything pronounced in a non-Saff London accent. My wife, for one.

I watched a programme about people in the north of Ireland being addicted to Pregabalin and other prescription drugs the other day. Without subtitles it was totally incomprehensible.

They'd probably annoy you less if you were deaf.

Wouldn't annoy you at all if you were blind.

Rakyat in this part of the world means people. It is a word used in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Here there is a Bank Raykat which means People,s Bank.




So Maz appears to be saying that the people are ungrateful swine and have no proper sense of priorities.

Unless i read it wrong.

Half-time "entertainment" in the early days of Sky live matches, with the giant inflatables.

"One, Two, Three ........ SUMO!!!"

Or did I dream that? :o

Had this on a program on maritime wind turbines the other day when the Danish(?) engineer was being interviewed they put subtitles when he was speaking quite good English just with a bit of an accent.

I'll raise that with unnecessary blurring of just about anything like TV screens or company names on some TV programs. There's a program on at the moment about Dubai airport where they sometimes blur the company name on a passing A380 then show it in all its glory for most of the program, why are you trying to hide the fact (badly) that 'Emirates' planes may be found at Dubai airport?

Of all the people on the BBS I never would have had you down as someone who'd play Far Cry 3. Guess it shows how universal games are now (and for the last 10+ years tbh)

I used to watch Rab C Nesbit with the subtitles feature switched on. It wasn't that I couldn't understand the dialogue but the way it was toned down in the subtitles added to the amusement. [What no smiley wearing a string vest?]

Possibly a controversial one but people (managers usually) who favour phone calls over email for simple and quick work related things.

I am British and so reserved and introverted therefore not a fan of making pointless phone calls in a open plan office. 99% of the time you get the impression that the person on the other end of the line would have rather you just emailed too.

People who use an App to jump the queue to get a coffee. Is your life so important that you can't wait for 5 minutes with the plebs? Hopefully that faeces in coffee scandal that was in the news last week affects only them.

:)

Yup. With you on this.

I'll do a phone call sometimes, when I feel its necessary, but otherwise, unless you are looking to build a relationship with someone, what's the point?

Interesting. I always prefer phone calls over email; the personal touch.

Would make the BBS so much more fun if we could conduct our business via conference calls to each thread and give posters a peice of our personal touch when they warranted it.

People who queue for coffee full stop in our work cafe which unfortunately in the Nordics is mostly everyone! (apart from me) it seems :(

Cyclists who are unwilling to change out of the highest gear of their multi-speed bikes.

Cyclists dressed like they wouldn't look out of place in the Tour De France,who still fecking ride on the pavement!

Fish lip poses, lilly allen, adverts on tv every 12 minutes, and this week my newest annoyance is , flies on the windscreen ..

:)

I wouldn't want to FaceTime or Skype the BBS. I don't want to shatter the "DJ" element, as in having a mental image of what you all look like, and you know what it's like when you see the face of a DJ or radio celeb.... Just plain weird

:D

I almost started a thread about what celebrities posters on the bbs look most like in your imagination (not you personally Chris). Thankfully I realised in time that it was a silly idea. I can tell you this though, Maestro looks like a youngish Ernest Borgnine to me.

Damned phone went weird - double post, sorry.

The now fairly old but seemingly growing trend of ending a statement with the line "if that makes sense?"

I speak f*cking English so of course it makes sense.

Whether or not what you have just said is complete bullshit is another matter.

If that makes sense?

Getting anywhere in Devon / Cornwall takes sodding ages.

From the scottish based contingent, Exiled Stirling looks like Danny De Vito and I look like a slightly overweight Karl Pilkington. Bubbs reminds me of Rodney Bewes off of the likely lads and Keltic is the guy off the Harry Enfield show who says 'only me'. Not sure if that's how you imagined us :) I always picture you as someone with huge Nostrils.

Cyclists who believe they have a right to maintain their momentum that supersedes the Highway Code.

Cycling "fashion"

I sometimes picture Glaziers Fan as being like yer man from Drop Dead Fred

Aldi Stores... what's the point?

Mainly, being massively cheaper

Just last week, I was delighted to see flies plastered on my windscreen after a comparatively short drive. As a kid in the sixties, this was always an inevitable consequence of driving in the summer months. I presumed it becoming rarer was due to the soaking of fields with pesticides so I was hoping the reappearance of this phenomenon was due to a reduction in toxins which has got to be a good thing, no?

People who say "it is what it is" as a summary at the end of a sentence.

ES - Joe Strummer
EE - The cad off of Brush Strokes
BU - The sheriff from The Cannonball Run (I think he called people 'Bubba')
KE - Not a celebrity, but a stereotypical kilt wearing Highlander (apologies if he's a Lowlander)

My own nostrils are of regular size, but I have been told that I look like Andre Agassi :), David Suchet :frown: and Omid Djalili :eek:. The closest is Kevin Richardson at 40. You may notice a common theme :sob:.

I think this is an update on, 'know what I mean?'

Similar to finishing your sentence with, '...no?' ... which someone has just done. I do it quite a lot too, I think it's a Spinglish thing as the Spanish do it a lot.
