Plenty of people were videoing their clapping as well, no doubt to post online to show what a good person they are. was it someone on here that said it was the extrovert and attention seeking people that mostly filmed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rang his landlady and she promised that it was dealt with, a big mistake, blah blah. On Friday, some "recovery agents" knocked looking for her.

So, after being told by his employer his job is in jeopardy, he's decided enough is enough, and has bought himself a caravan and is going to live in that. So, 3 guesses who's doing the move with him? Yep. His "dad" is too busy self isolating, and his sister and partner have decided they need to visit partner's relatives in Loughborough for a fortnight. So according to the media, me and him are going to be fined, arrested, thrown in jail and tiger-bummed,for doing "unesassary travel" all because his fucking landlady believes it's OK not to pay bills.

Yoss Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Had to go shopping today so we went to Waitrose as we thought it would be more civilised than the other supermarkets at the mo. Mrs Yoss then suggested it would be easier to do social distancing if I stayed in the car. I sort of half heartedly said 'are you sure' but I was quite happy, just sat and caught up with a few threads on here. Whilst sitting there this woman turned up in this Volvo and parked half over the pedestrian walkway. What's more it took her two attempts to park this badly. Then she got out and walked off without looking back because she knew full well how shit her parking was. I was hoping somebody was going to run a trolley down the side of her car. stonedagain, paulplom and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think you have to be a pretty hard core grumpy bastard to be grumpy about the clapping. It was meant to be a show of appreciation and a reminder to everyone that people are putting their lives on their line so stay at home.

I'm very anti-planned-clapping out the window. The Italian one was novel and more spontaneous. This one was contrived. I'm very pro actually paying competitive wages for NHS, ditching shitty parking charges and shitty paperwork where they're forced to waste time. I'd gladly pay more tax to make this happen. Practical thanks rather than a token gesture. Saying this, I also don't like birthday cards so maybe I'm just a grumpy shite. I assume a lot of people clapping out the window are also the same people collecting in parks, making unnecessary trips and flouting the isolation rules. I think ANY recognition for the shit the NHS staff are having to deal with every waking hour is a good thing. How on earth could anyone honestly moan about that, FFS? I really despair about human attitudes at times. Stevebrookman, stonedagain and Lord Sterling 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Norman Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 As anyone who has to deal with The General Public all day long knows, quite a few of them are complete cunts and treat people in shops, cafes, petrol stations, and yes even doctor's surgeries and A&E departments like utter shite, but when one person takes the time to say thanks to you for doing your job whatever it may be then that can help stave off the desire to take a fucking pickaxe to the next mouthy twat who gives you abuse. Which is handy when the shop you work in sells pickaxes. stonedagain, Amishtat, meggersdog and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They outlawed eviction for the next 3 months(probably on a rolling basis given this shitstorm may well last longer), so there's no need, junior should sit tight and politely tell any bailiffs/repo men to fuck off.

I'm aware that the eviction probably won't go ahead, but losing a huge chunk of income and with all the agg with people knocking it was the straw that broke the camel's back as it were.

Wack Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Just taken the dog for a walk , some cunt in a S3 thinks 70+ in a 30 is acceptable Some people still don't get it , crash and that's resources the NHS don't have to spare , personally I'd send a copper out if they crashed to tell them they're not being treated for being a cunt in a time of national crisis , if you're still alive when it's over we'll come back.

Sadly every c*nt in a Golf or BMW I saw yesterday are under the same impression. All doing 50-60 mph in a 30mph even though there was people out walking etc. The one BMW was the worst though. Overtook me an another BMW who was tailgating me in a 30 over double white lines, chucked shit over the front of our Van as he cut me off too. Then tailgated two cars further up the rd after aborting overtaking them round a blind bend. Then overtook them on double white lines again so he could run a red light through a junction! It was pure luck he didn't kill someone. stonedagain and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
