The grumpy thread

[Bucketeer]

I've never had Jaffa Cakes long enough to see what they do when they go stale. I find it hard enough to hold off eating them until I get them out of the box. Asda Smart Price use the tastiest cardboard.

I used to have a designated Jaffa Cake eating park bench on the route home from the supermarket. When I die from type 2 diabetes or choking on Jaffa Cake packaging I want a plaque on that bench.

[Rocket88]

Urrghh, I'm feeling a bit groggy from over eating again.

 

Big breakfast yesterday, went to the village fete and had a hot dog and two burgers then fancied a flapjack, then ate a sponge cake,bakewell slice and a cheesecake.

 

Then had dinner on southwold pier which was a massive chicken and chorizo risotto and then ate a load of flapjacks walking the dog on the beach

 

Just say no!

For once I agree with HMRC, when Jaffa Cakes, which are soft, go stale they go hard, like a cake does; if a biscuit, which is normally hard, goes stale, it goes soft. I wonder if this is how they made the decision, probably not because it's bleeding obvious.

You agree with the court/mcvities, HMRC argued the opposite. The court used the same reasoning.

 

There are similar riveting cases on Pringles- are the really crisps? And I think those marshmallow teacakes beloved of the jocks

Went to get the back box for my 405 and managed to put my van into 3rd at a rondabout instead of first. Almost managed to burn the clutch out and now I've bollocksed the gear selector up instead. Had first, second and fifth now have third and fourth!

 

Obvs it's not a common Vauxhall problem at all. Never been heard of before.

Do as I have and switch it off, I'm still working my way through the 40 or so Agatha Christie books I bought the other day in a charity shop for a fiver. It's a pleasure to read such politically incorrect, snobbish, old fashioned books.

Game of fucking Thrones can piss right off, too.

[Cavcraft]

I've never watched Game of Thrones but as the majority of people who bang on about it seem like the kind of sweaty nerds who probably dress like Vikings and play war games on boards and the Internet when they're in their 50s I have no intention of finding out what it's like

[Richard]

I have literally no idea what Game of Thrones is, other than that it's some sort of TV series.

[HH-R]

Same, I'm sick of hearing about it and seeing shitty in jokes that mean nothing to me posted on facebook.

 

Mind, you could replace the telly in the free your mind picture with a facebook logo and the point would still stand.

[dave21478]

Just need the Queen to die now to really fuck telly up for the summer.

 

I quite like game of thrones though, but the rabid fanbase shitting up reddit, youtube and everything else with their comments and theories can FROAD.

I think the reason for the dispute was that cakes are VAT free while biscuits aren't - or something of that nature.

[fairkens]

Cake is food, biscuits are confectionary

Good call on the Christies!  See also PG Wodehouse.  Meanwhile I just spend inordinate amounts of time on the internet talking rubbish about old cars...

 

Oh and I've never seen Game of Thrones either.

Remember Penguin vs Puffin?

I remember the QC in that case arguing that consumers wouldn't be confused between them as "everyone knows they live at different poles of the planet". Because your average person is well up with the preferred habitat of sea birds aren't they?

 

Biscuits. If nothing else, a great subject for a massively expensive court case

It's official, my ZX needs a new starter motor.

[chaseracer]

Have you tried a jaffa cake instead?

 

[beko1987]

No its French, you want a nice camembert

That's just for suspension bushes, brie is for electrical items

Have you tried wiggling the key in the ignition? I thought my ZX's solenoid was gubbed until someone suggested this - I've not had to pop the bonnet and bridge the starter solenoid for yonks now... (tempts fate!)

what you mean game of thrones isnt a game on farcebook??!?

TBH, I've never tried to eat a book and read a chocolate bar.

It's a crazy Japanese gameshow based around toilet humour

[Parky]

Actually Penguin vs Puffin sounds like a particularly lame remake of Alien vs Predator.

 

Or a much more enjoyable remake of Kramer vs Kramer.

facebook.

I concur.

Not really a serious grump but I want to moan about the quantity of desirable cars available for sale on here at the moment (BMW E38, Lexus LS400 etc) when I am trying to be disciplined and sort out the shonky cars that I already own rather than getting distracted and buying something new. It doesn't help that I have savings in my bank account that are earmarked for boring house stuff but would be much more fun if spent on cars.

So did I, instead I now have a decaying Bentley on the drive, therefore I agree it's a good* idea

[Kiltox]

Cheers to the cunt that scuffed the rear corner of my van today and didn't have the balls to admit it - possibly even in the work car park

 

Fucking arseholes
