The grumpy thread

[wuvvum]

The gradual but seemingly inexorable replacement of the verb "to say" with the compound "to be like". An abhorrent Americanism that is increasingly being embraced by the yoof (and wannabe yoof) of this sceptred isle. And it's really getting on my tits.

Really boils my piss.

 

It's Stephen Nolan from Radio 5. You mainlanders count yourselves lucky - here in Norn Iron we have to look at this gobshite on tv as well. And he's on BBC Radio Ulster.

 

A lot of my friends say things like "oh, he's so thought provoking/inciteful" etc etc. No, he's fucking not - he just argues with people for the sake of it. You can actually hear him foaming at the mouth.

 

Takes cuntishness to a level previously thought only to be theoritically possible.

his radio Ulster show is a hoot when I'm over.....even listen to it on iplayer over here.........but you are right he is a twat

I reckon he's paid the price for all those pig faces, cow quims and venison vulvas he's eaten over the years. The amount of shit he's consumed it's no wonder he ended up with a fucked bowelKarma is a bitch.

Although to be fair he's not that bad when placed in the context of his stable-mates at Five Live - from the terminally smug Nicky Campbell, through the irrevocably brain-dead Victoria Derbyshire to the asinine drivel of Simon Mayo and that annoying cunt who does the film reviews on a Friday. Other than the football coverage and Peter Allen the entire network is a write-off.

I believe in karma so won't ever speak ill of the dead.

I'll leave someone else to try and unravel the contents of your head I think.

[Richard]

I thought he died of a heart attack. It's probably true to say that his eating and drinking habits killed him but that's not really karma is it? Or have I got the wrong idea of what karma is?

RIP Keith Floyd, he made watching Saturday Kitchen doable.

I'm a big 5Live listener & I couldnt agree more. I like to nod off at night with the radio on, usually to Richard Bacon (legend) or Rhod Sharpe, but when this bloated opinionated gobshite is on of a weekend night, its enough to make me, errr, well, switch the thing off. Wanker.

[ashmicro]

Richard Bacon irritates me with his "Special Half-Hour" drivel, but I'm with you on Rhod Sharpe, especially the Gabby Cabbie and the Naked Scientist sections. Dotun Adebayo is a bit of a bore with all the phone-in nonsense - I go for the World Service then.

I find with Bacon, if you dont take him too seriously, then he's pretty good in an Alan Partridge kinda way. I quite like the Special Half Hour!

[Negative Creep]

Argh fucking I Tunes! Went to load it up this morning and it suddenly asked me to create a new library. It has for some reason erased EVERYTHING, although the music is still there I've lost all of my playlists, ratings and play counts. With 9000 songs, I'm not happy

These sodding things

 

 

Not specifically this one (although it is gash). I fix computers and computer networks for a living, and these things are a mare. You need fingers the size of an action man and wrists like universal joints to get them apart.

I am not sure if I have ranted about this before, but I wish to complain about Postman Pat: Special Delivery Service. Postman Pat flying about in a helicopter to deliver shit that folk who live in remote parts of Yorkshire have bought off ebay???GET OFF. Just makes me hugely angry, what are the kids going to grow up expecting???Pat, jess and a trombone-farty van with a knack'd synchromesh. That's what it's about, not titting about in the sky, using satnavs and mobile phones to communicate with some kind of postoffice techsupport hub. All bollocks.

Especially when the reality of the postal service is that it now takes 2 days for mail to reach its destination, & post is delivered between midday - 2pm round here. Basically its just the old 'second class' postal service, but for the price of a fiirst class stamp.

[Guest]

Can't complain that much about the post service to be honest, I think for the money it's alright! Any time I might be a bit frustrated about not getting my DVD of Cool Runnings/Splash Too/Look Who's Talking Now on time, I'll think back to a time where I've been forced to use UPS/DHL and had to pay over 3 times as much for pretty toss service. Plus they won't just hide packages away for me like the normal postie does, so I've got to mess around going to their stupid depot to collect it. Nightmare.Dunno why Postman Pat has a helicopter now though. He always used to thrash the guts out of that van considering the roads were single track with big walls around them.

I like the Specsavers Pat advert. I shouldn't, but I do.

We were actually having a discussion about this exact subject at work on Friday afternoon, and the conclusion we reached was much the same.I remember being jealous of Postman Pat when I was small because his van had a two-tone horn, which I thought sounded much cooler than the feeble "meep-meep" item on my dad's Renner Six.

I hate texts. Completely. I can touch type with a proper keyboard but get me texting and it'd be faster to get your Grandad to type it.

Me too! I can have an email done in no time at all. I only use texts for one liners mostly.wot r u doinetc

Morning radio.My journey to work is between 20 - 30 minutes depending on traffic so in that time I like to have a bit of music. Most radio stations will only be able to manage 1 song in that time between all the adverts and other dross, presenter loving sound of own voice etc.I have recently started a car share and my colleague flits between Radio 1 and some other such inane station in the morning. The premise of the shows (Chris Moyles et al) seems to be a group of 3 or 4 "cool" individuals sat around dicking about and taking the mickey out of various things, singing badly, doing incomprehensible games and so on.I find that I can derive no entertainment value from this whatsoever, what a complete waste of space.

[pogweasel]

I detest 'the breakfast show' in any format, be it national or local radio. No radio until 9.30 pls.

Pah, Wogan in the morning is a veritable minefield of double entendres and cheeky Oirish wit. I'm gonna miss the old fool.Local radio DJs should all be shot.

[Mr Lobster]

I have this morning radio problem too. It takes me 90 long minutes to get to work. If I want music radio it's either Radio 1 (which is shit) or Real Radio (which is ok in short bursts). I can't tolerate either for the whole journey so it ends up being 5Live. And the problem with that is Nicky Campbell. And they seem to have only 1 hours worth of news so go around in circles will gets a bit dull and repetitive.

Cant listen to music of a morning - news & current affairs for me.Moyles is a complete sack of shite.

[pogweasel]

I cannot be doing with Wogan. Wit? Waffle!TBH, I am not interested in R2 until it's time for popmaster.

[Guest]

I have a nice selection of MW presets and tend to click over to the other side when they start talking/doing adverts, but they sometimes all do it at the same time meaning I end up with something like this:"Hello Ann, you're on now with Glenn Pinder" (CLICK) "Express Tyres of Bradfooooord!" (CLICK) "and heavy tailbacks on the M62 Westbound following an earlier" (CLICK) "Is there anyone you'd like to dedicate this to?" (CLICK) "Accident claim, accident claim! No-win, no-fee!" (CLICK) "Gordon Brown has announced further" (CLICK) "Thank you love, thank you for calling" (CLICK) "at the fantastic Frontier in Batley, the legendary Chuckle Brothers" (CLICK) "Autoglass Repair! Autoglass replace!" (CLICK) "are advising people not to travel on the" (CLICK)This continues until I eventually get the last 30 seconds of "Mister Mister - Broken Wings".
