The grumpy thread

[Lankytim]

Where are these "immagrants" that are offended by the English flag then? I havent met any.

[wuvvum]

I don't believe I've ever met any immagrants at all. In fact I'm not entirely sure what one is...

[brammy777]

Would Love To No Why Tha Dumb Fukin Immagrants Workin In Mc Dz In Bulwell Tryd Tellin Me They Never Erd Of A Mc Chicken Sandwhich Meal With Cheese When I've Had It Baga Tymz Before!! Piss Me Tha Fuk Of!!

She sounds like a classy lass.

Well it doesnt exist, so that probably explains her issue. Is that seriously what annoys people about 'immagrants'? The fact that staff in Mcdonalds havent heard of something she has made up annoys her. Tell you what, bloody suprising she used an apostrophe in that fine piece of literature.

Fucking 'safety' cameras. Got the double flash on the A1 near Berwick doing 60.025mph.... FFS!!!

I know, and she even typed the word "before" out in full.

Ask one of these mouth-breathing doleite Brits if they'd like a job in a petrol station and they turn their nose up at the thought of having to get up five days a week for £200 or so. They'll abuse the staff if they happen to be foreign "for taking all the jobs", but they won't do the job themselves - and if they do they'll do a shit job of it / fall asleep / not turn up / turn up bladdered. They'll also kick off to death if the petrol station isn't open at 3.30 am when they need Rizlas / Pringles / Cat food.Seems to me that the Xenophobic scumbags think they're owed something, that doing 'normal' jobs is beneath them, but they've avoided education as often as possible, get all their info from Facebook and have no interest whatsoever in working if it means they have to get up in the morning.

You have summed it up nicely.I am turning into Erich Honecker.

[Lankytim]

Changing the topic..Hey Wuvvum, have you sold your 104? Its very nice indeed. But I can't have it .

[Minimad5]

Just do a "Death Wish 3" - pull a big chain across the road and shoot at him as he falls over.

The A1 from Edinburgh to Newcastle is a pain in the arse, your quicker using the A696 > A68...........equally shite on cameras, but a bit shorter and quicker

Pete..............you have summed it up perfectly in my opinion

[Guest]

I think football gets many of its sins overlooked - because people mistakenly think it's some kind of national treasure. The best example that springs to mind was the one I mentioned previously - remember when my local got shut down because of fighting during the Derby? That sums it up perfectly. But that's fine, because it's football. My nights ruined, but fuck you Jon, you don't understand football. I don't want to understand if that sort of shit is carried out in its name.Football gets special treatment in the press. Football and footballers are obsessed with money. Football is more culturally significant than any other sport in this country. I had a COLOSSAL row with fatha_Wat when George Best died, mainly because it was splashed over every bloody newspaper page in sight when the inevitable happened. Around the same time, Richard Burns died from a long term illness. This barely warranted a mention in most broadsheets and was completely absent from the tabloids. I was somewhat pissed off at this.Why was I annoyed? Because George Best was a nasty piece of work who drank himself to death, smacked his wife around and was told several times that if he didn't stop the booze he'd die. Which he ignored, and then promptly carked. Yes, he was an outstanding player. I am not taking that away from him. Even I can understand that he did great things for Manchester United back in the day. But by Christ did he rest on his laurels. I'd wager Best spent the last 20 years of his life in the press as a poster boy for alcohol and spousal abuse rather than for his fine acheivements on the pitch. And yet this was a national tragedy, rather than the understandably sad loss of a very talented sportsman who lost his way. Football fans were allowed to mourn and witter on and on (and on and on). Yet I am a car buff, who takes anything in the world of motoring and motorsport quite seriously. That is my passion, the equivalent to what others share for football and was slightly fucked off that Burns' passing barely registered on anyone else's radar. He was a sportsman at the top of his field - a WRC champion. For some reason my contempt for Best occupying hundreds of hours of airtime was taken as being disrespectful, a continuation of my 'warped mentality' of me always siding with the obscure and hating the popular. Fatha_Wat and I didn't speak to each other for three days after that little outburst. And he's a City fan.You can be a bore, a pedant and an utter twat about football and it's fine. Someone at work justified lamping a City fan in the face (and was bragging about it) because 'it's not football, it's life'. Sorry, you lost me at the part where you inflicted physical pain on someone when he happened to think differently than you. Some back-to-front Metro enthusiasts took the piss out of my Amazon and started calling it a shitty taxi, but do you know what? I wouldn't spark them out over it - I'd run Red 5 fascist boy over instead.You know what I'd do with football if I was Cultural Minister? Treat it the same way as rugby and cap the earnings of the players. Then we'd see who was truly passionate.I fully expect to be ripped a new one over this - because where I live, treating George Best's death and football as anything other than life and death means you're socially deviant in some way.

[Lankytim]

What annoyed me about Best was he trashed his own Liver so had a donor one transplanted to keep him alive, then carried on drinking heavily until his death 3 years later. Im sure someone else could have made much better use of that liver .

I'm with you on the George Best thing. I had the same arguments with a lot of people when he died.I'm still mortified by the fact that they named an airport after him.

I knew I wouldn't be alone here. Thanks for the big up, I was beginning to doubt myself.

[meggersdog]

Totally agree on the Best thing.With regard to Richard Burns I think if he had still been rallying at the time there might have been press coverage as with Colin Macrae.Richard had a brain tumor and retired from rallying about eighteen months before he died.He was an outstanding talent who,like Colin, became world champion.

[Richard]

Was George Best a footballer? Does playing a couple of games in the 1970s make you a footballer for life?

[Pete-M]

I like football. I also like rallying. It's a no-win situation for me.If I mention that I like football, I'm classed as some brainless moron.If I mention that I like rallying, I'm classed as some adenoidal nerd.

[Cavcraft]

Wise words Wat.The wage cap idea is exactly what football needs and it should be a world wide thing too to stop 'talent' effing off abroad.The mad thing is all those supporters who want success for their team are the same cock ends who moan like hell at the price of season tickets/admission. If they weren't paying some ponces £125,000 per week then it'd be cheaper to get in.Oh, for all the football H8RZ please remember it's the press who hype up all this talk of England winning everything, a lot of the supporters (myself included) don't think we will win every game we play in just by turning up. Even though I'd like to see it of course!

[whitevanman]

Another backer here for what Wat said abouit George...and don't even think about starting me of on press coverage of the "football nation" 44 years on and still going

Me too! Add to the fact that I'm a computer nut, and competed in a bit of FF1600 and rallycross in my younger days. Actually people don't know what to make of me at all! Throw into the mix that I was in the Army for a while and that two of my mates with whom I can regularly seen at local imbibing imporia of a weekend are both former powerlifting champions, covered in tatoos.I met george best at a local function in 1999. He was there with Pat Crerand and Denis Law and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. Crerand, Law and Ole were great fun, and Best was just a twat the whole night.

[messerschmitt owner]

I'm with everyone else on George BestToday's Gripe is: -You, the V reg, Blue, Vauxhall Corsa driver on the C&G roundabout at Barnwood - that wasn't a James Bond-style smoke screen - your engine is f*cked! Go directly to the scrapyard, do not collect £100 quid, either throw a double next turn or pay £50 for a taxi home.

[Waderider]

I'm from a Northern Irish family of greatly misguided United fans. The embarrassment I feel when I fly home, or even drive past George Best City Airport is unmeasurable.Is Northern Ireland such a cultural wasteland that they have to name their airport after that twat? It's like a joke out of a Borat movie.

[ashmicro]

HA ha! Poor Donna Traynor off Newsline always trips over saying "George Best Belfast City Airport". Joey Dunlop would have been a more fitting name.

Lol @ Joey Deacon!Liverpool Speke airport is now called 'John Lennon Airport'. Everyone still calls it Speke airport though, I can't recall anyone ever say JLA. Not like Liverpool is hanging onto long gone past glories or anything.

[Minimad5]

Wise words Wat.

Totally Agree On another note ..Scooter boy decided to come home at 3am I may wave him down and ask him to push his bike down the road, i mean it is downhill.
