What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread

^^ Those must exist for pretty much every town in the UK now. A friend has just posted one up with the Jaywick replaced by Essex, which is topical and amusing.

 

This whole Lion on the loose thing is quite amusing, i bet it turns out to be a hoax or some locals having a laugh.

Yep, that looks like a fab place...

 

I like the way they called a fuck off mobile phone mast the "Rhyl Sky Tower".

 

They should've called it the "We-won't-get-planning-permission-for-our-mast-unless-we-come-up-with-a-tourist-angle Tower"

[michiel]

 

Hold on, this is a better link. Rhyl has something interesting to offer to a shiter after all!

Dog Stories:

 

Not quite the same, but when I went to collect Gruff from the breeder in St Helens she asked for my postcode (for the reg papers or something) and then said "thats the same as his brother Bill's new owners I'm sure". It wasn't the same but very close. So out of the litter one went to Sweden, one up north somewhere and two ended up in neighbouring villages in (the nicest part) of North Wales. It turned out that we'd met Bill's owners at a couple of parties held at our old neighbours house too! The world is very small sometimes!

An impromptu letter I sent in to CAR appears to have been elected Letter Of The Month.

 

In theory I win a free warranty. Looking forward to trying to apply it to an R-reg Rover....

[vulgalour]

Congrats, Roadwork, be interesting to see how your prize pans out.

 

Today, I discovered where one of the burglar type people lives.

Oh, and upon browsing the blue forum, the contents of this thread is excellent. Here's a little sample.

Motorola (owned by Google) suing Apple and trying to get ipad/phones/macs banned from sale in the US ....I would be sooo happy to see Apple lose this one, and then get banned from selling them all around the world.

Seconded. I'd laugh like a drain if those smug, two bit purveyors of toilet white shite to the terminally fashionable fell hard on their arse.

TBH I think all phone companies should have to settled disputes through a fight to the death using their own products. That way Nokia would always win and the world would be full of invincible phones. Sorted.

[philibusmo]

I was going to write a post on how the headphones for my iTelephone had survived a full cycle in the washing machine and still work perfectly but then I realised that Wat would probably just call me a cunt.

[Negative Creep]

Problem is that if they were banned all the smug iTossers would start buying decent products, then going on at great lengths to justify having spend £500 on the newest model with slightly different OS. On that note, it reminds my of the wry joke

 

 

 

How do you know if someone has an iPhone?

 

They'll tell you

[Tayne]

Rover owners.

 

[Ross_K]

All you Apple loving cunts can fuck right off.

 

I'm gonna get one of these JCB android phones and use it to bash iProduct owner's skulls in. Oh wait, this isn't the GOM/P thread.

By the way not everyone with an iPhone is a twat or despises said devices, some of us quite like them. Trouble is a bit like new cars it's not 'fashionable' to own or like such a thing. They're not perfect but they do a good enough job so what does it matter?

[messerschmitt owner]

what is it about bloody phones - just get a life you bunch of saddos!

 

There are slightly more important things to worry about than what phone someone has.

I couldn't give a shite about the phones themselves. It's the owner's ability to work their ownership into every conversation that gets on my tits...

 

As the joke goes:

"How do you know if someone has an iPhone?"

"They'll tell you."

 

Ba-dum-tssh!

Chap I know, Jed, his (long term) girlfriend decided yesterday to get a tattoo with his name on the back of her hand. She went to the tattoo butchers and called him to tell him of her decision. He said "Don't get Jed, get something else done"... so she did. She got his old nickname "Jez", but it went a bit wrong. She's not about to set Mensa alight with an immense IQ, but she's a nice girl. Heart in the right place, etc.

 

 

Cue major amounts of hilarity in the pub last night, one mega-distraught girlfriend, my mate being seriously pissed off that A: she's been stupid enough to get it done, B: she's shown everyone it, C: It won't be easy to hide as it's on the hand.

 

The regulars of the pub all wandering around with latex gloves with their other halves names in biro spelled incorrectly did make ma laugh like a nutter though.

 

As someone who despises tattoos I've grinning all morning about this. Jed has his son's name tattood on his wrist, so it can be covered by his watch or whatever if need be. Getting JEDZ scrawled all over your hand is just insanity.

[Ross_K]

What a moron. :D

[trigger]

[Ross_K]

If that was me, I'd get the tatoo re-worked to read JEDWARD, JEWZ or AIDZ.
