People that belong to a union and slag it off on a public notice board

:supergrin:

That'll make it interesting.

Your cards marked son.

Putins been giving them martial arts tuition as well.

Pft. She'll eat the fecker for breakfast. I've had her 6 years. She's got issues. That dogs mince meat

Go Compare adverts. I've just had to change channel to avoid their latest abomination for the umpteenth time.

Seriously, surely at some point we should mobilise as consumers and fight back. We had the initial campaign that they ditched with an implicit admission that they'd been deliberately irritating as a way of implanting their subliminal message into our subconsciousness. So bringing it back with even more irritating memes "fantastic! ... megamungus!"..." is just unforgivable.

A national boycott is in order. Who the **** gives these people their business? It's not like there's a shortage of these types of websites. If they went bust tomorrow and all their employees were made redundant, I'd cheer and if that fat ******* kvnt opera singer got a kicking I'd be tempted to join in. I fecking hate them more than pay-day loan companies.

I've told them and the general consensus when I mentioned the c word was 'bring the fecker on'. I can't speak dog but the body language told me they were well up for the ruck.

So you don't compare insurance then :confused:

What a cute hamster

Add him to the list Chewy

There's nothing cute about that

Humidity per se but especially at f*cking night which seems to be the norm this past couple of weeks. Sick of waking up at 4 in the morning stewing in my own juices. Having the central heating on full to dry out the humidity doesn't seem to help either.

Teresa May shedding a tear over the election exit poll prediction. Pity she couldn't spare any for the Grenfell fire victims. Fricking robot.

He's fooled many a small child. Aaah turns into AAAH quite easily. Reps AJ has no chance with small talk like that.

Those meerkats can **** off too.

Need gassing like badgers.

Theresa pondered for a short while on the question. Did I cry? Her internal circuitry started to generate dangerous levels of heat. What is the answer, oh dear, I dont know what to answer. 'Come on come on say something Theresa, say something' she said to herself. They told me to do this interview to show I am human. Is being tearful a human emotion? Oh **** it. 'Yes I did'.

Reminds me of when the Queen was heralded as being 'stoic' for holding her emotions in check at Diana's funeral, then a couple of months later publicly blubbed and sobbed her heart out when the Royal Yacht Brittania was decommissioned. Bloody lizard!

On the restaurant front, suggest tying the dogs, cats & kids up outside & letting them fight it out amongst themselves while enjoying a relaxing meal in enchanting surroundings. For entertainment one may look through the window & watch the modern-day version of Gladiators. After dining, pick up your scarred animal or child & drag home. A perfect day out.

Trivago, boock a ******* hotel and stay there FFS.

Americans abuse of the English language.

Americans.

It would be churlish, no doubt, to point out the abuse of English punctuation in this sentence.

Is this to do with Grey Squirrels?

Grey squirrels.

Don't worry pine martins are being recruited as we speak to wipe them out.

And mink.

I'm usually annoyed that the adverts are louder than the programs but I'm especially annoyed that the advert for hearing aids is quieter than the programs.
It is almost as if they want you to think that your hearing is going because you can't hear their advert.

They are not actually louder; there are broadcast rules in fact on this. But they may, due to overuse of a Maximiser, appear to be louder. We certainly used to do that a lot, if only to make sure that our commercials were never quieter than anyone else's.

What on earth is a Maximiser?
It just sounds like it's a slightly titillating name for a volume turner-upper?

It's an audio tool that increases the perceived loudness of music. But no, it doesn't do this by increasing the volume!

Sounds like a volume turner-upper if you ask me.
if I "perceive" the volume has increased surely it's increased? Or is my hearing deficient?

Surely they are "louder" but the volume hasn't been increased?

The senses can be tricked. Remember, for example, those "3D" posters?

I dunno Maz. If something sounds louder and requires me to turn the volume down on the tv, then it's annoyed me. No matter how you wrap that up, if the volume needs reducing (when compared to the sound level of the previous programme) then it's louder, perceived or actual.

No. Loudness can be measured. And a Maximiser's whole job is to make music seem louder, without actually being louder.

This is a fact, not an opinion; it may be your opinion, however, that the music is louder, but the fact is that it is not.

Sounds like some sort of trick.

I'm sorry, I am afraid I disagree with you here, Maz. Loudness is indeed a value attributed by the listener - it is subjective. You are confusing volume with loudness.

I would be foolish to argue with you, so consider this a debate! Are you saying -to take an extreme example - that a maximised sound at -10 dB can be louder than one at zero dB?

Er..... yeah, I think I am! It can sound louder to the listener.
I am by no means a boffin on this subject, honest. But this is pretty good - http://www.noisehelp.com/decibel-scale.html.

Is it fair to say that Maz is now annoying the readers of this thread?

Is the answer that the maximum loudness isn't any higher but that the level of loudness is more constant during an advert whereas during a programme you get quieter bits because people talk in a normal rhythm?

Monterey Jack cheese.

I think Maz needs to give more insight into what he knows, loudness is subjective for sure but if we knew the advertising rules we could probably work out better where he is coming from. For example are the advertising people governed by what the programmes max decibel level is at its loudest? Cool, let's set our Jacamo advert to the time maximus prime splinters into a million pieces having been exploded by the death star..

It's not very cheesy is it? Sounds good with one of those Texan/Ranch burgers, but it may as well not be there.

I'm fairly sure a "maximiser" isn't a technical term either.

Learned.

Shayne Ward - journeyman,mediocre actor who presumably only got the Corrie gig cos he won X Factor

Hehe :)

Yes it wood

Two things - both mail/billing related.

I pay for my newspaper subscription 3 months at a time, but I've noticed that they have started billing me for the next 3 months after only one month into the 3 month subscription. It would appear a trick to get you to pay up ahead of time.

Trouble is they don't remind you again closer to the real expiration time, and send you nasty letters for being past due on your payment. It all seems a bit of a deliberate ploy to get extra money out of people unwillingly.

Second gripe... when you in good faith make a donation to a charity (usually one of the bigger ones), and they inundate you on a monthly basis for ever more with request for more contributions. It makes you not want to give in the first place.

In my experience it's all of them and it certainly brings out the Scrooge in me. They may have the best of intentions and causes but I still see it as moral blackmail.

I think you have to decide which are the most important to you and which your budget can support and (however guiltily) ignore the rest.

Taking great care with my motorbike and yet still getting annoying little scratches on it.How the feck I got one on the nose cone is a mystery :wallbash::wallbash:

3rd place play offs. No one gives a f*CK not even the teams involved.

Thanks, I have learnt something!

Stone chips unfortunately

Chris Keltic fell off his bugger yesterday, bust a rib apparently.

Other members of the family who use the teaspoon designated for the use of stirring teabags, for stirring coffee, and leaving it for when I next make a cup of tea.

Sitting in a pub waiting to get served and forgetting you're in England and you have to go to the bar.

Exactly what I do, Leukemia, Alzheimer's and Lifeboats all mean something to me the rest can do one.

Is he alright mate ? Silly old sod :eek::D

Lol hope you weren't sat there too long. Just a good half hour or so.....

:p

Dunno we keep missing each others calls. He was probably reading the bastards thread at the time and getting wound up :)

Those I understand,this is a 2" scratch.No idea how I got it but it's bloody annoying. All the love, care and attention you give a bike and find this:veryangry

My thoughts go out to the man,did mine 3 years ago and it feckin hurts.Hope he recovers with less pain than I had











P. S Try not to make him laugh to much:sob:

People that think they can sing and want to prove it in a queue
People that say "for me". E.g. Just pop your card in for me and enter your PIN for me.
Southern Railway dirty bastards.
Self proclaimed nice people. "I'm a nice person" really? Because to me you sound like a twat
The lawn
Tennis fans

Broke a rib a few years back playing football, really painful.

Isn't the bugger supposed to go on top? Did the bugger fall off Chris?

It was a about 10 minutes to be honest. :)

Things may have moved on since your day.

Yeah he said everything hurts, pressed the front brake too hard in drizzle and went over. Thinks he'll be OK for Liverpool on Wednesday though. I said he might have to be content with a place on the bench.

Me, too. I was on an island in Lake Titicaca. Our gringo group had a friendly against the indians that lived on the island. I was the man on the most defending a corner and our own goalkeeper charged into me and wrapped my rip cage around the post.

I had to sleep in tents for about half the rest of the trip.

That was about the last time I played football.

Couple of years back fractured my shoulder playing cricket. Don't play that anymore either.


There's a theme here. Damage me once, and that's it. No getting back on that horse.

women packing for a two week holday. It's not as if we are moving house

I feel your pain. We are only going for a week and it's like we are moving house.

Groups of young men going to cricket matches dressed as the cookie monster/pink panther/Roman centurions/crusaders/vikings etc etc etc. It wasn't even moderately amusing when that first pioneer of Dorkism did it at The Oval in 1982. Even less so now. Enough.

It mitigation, it's not as bad as football fans who still turn up to matches against Liverpool in Harry Enfield "calm down, calm down" costumes. Embarassingly, I saw a few Palace fans who were guilty of that just a couple of years ago. I'm sure they didn't feel even slightly ridiculous walking away from the ground after Liverpool's last minute winner dressed like that.

How can adults ponder the wisdom of doing such things and conclude that on balance, the benefits will probably outweigh any negative consequences.

The Game Of Thrones hype - yawn!

Getting new warning lights on my car that I never knew existed. Can't really complain as it has done 203,000 miles, but on top of the airbag warning light (20k), engine management light (100k), we now have abs light, p/s light, and some other one. It's like looking at a Christmas tree now, only slightly more unnerving.

It is amazing isn't it. The nuisance of all that is I don't notice the low fuel light when it comes on because of all the others!. Must be worse for you up there where the days are so short. :p

Posh middle aged women dressing up for the Oxted beer festival like fake hippies at Glastonbury. Sad

Daytime running car lights that can't be switched off.

People who phone me when I'm working in a tight place (loft etc) and proceed to tell me about a job they need doing and sign off by saying "I'll confirm it all in an email". Why did you bother with the phone call then???!!!

The rhetorical use of "D'ya know what?" to try and sound cool. F*CK off. I know you're a c*nt. :grrr:

People who don't put on headlights during the day when it's pissing rain or foggy especially on fast roads.

Tony B Liar continually voicing his opinions on everything

People that over fill their diesel tanks. That mixed with good old scotch drizzle and only having 2 wheels done for me approaching a roundabout. Broken ribs ain't no picnic.

On a lighter note though i just managed to have a jobby without screaming the house down

Funny enough after telling my best mate all about the accident and telling him not to make me laugh he bombarded me with texts for about an hour of ridiculously silly pics. Fecking agony ;)

Only time I've come off a bike was a diesel spill on a roundabout. Bad Luck. Sympathies.

I heard about your wipe out mate - Elgs told me. I asked how you were and just got a hundred :D and 50 :jerkit: emojis

'Kin harsh I thought...

Hope you're ok pal :p

Lol. I'll survive. Mrs keltic is giving me the "I've always hated you riding those damn things" but she knows it ain't gonna stop me :bash:

Yes, but how's the bike?

Shurrup ya girl, I broke me neck on my bike and didn't complain...I just started my own thread.

People who think they're cool because they've never watched Game of Thrones.

I watched it a couple of times and just decided my time was better spent with an hour on xhamster

Better shape than me I think. Its still parked up at the roundabout. It's got a few new scratches and the wind shields buggered but apart from that rideable (but not by me for a few weeks)

You've left a motorbike at a random roundabout in scotchland ?? :eek:

Hope you find a replacement soon

:eek: I think that would be a reason to give it up
