The grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

Cunts indeed, they should be burned alive daily for weeks with their fingers broken every few hours.

I have donated my body to the local medical teaching university, no one has to pay a penny when I kick the bucket.

I think I'll do that. Nice to think of the old watch and chain getting one last bit of posthumous 'forgot to put it away' action.

[Laseraligningfoofooflanges]

Of course, while we're busy frothing at the mouth about charities, benefit cheats, fake beggars and spurious disability claims, were just let the super-wealthy elite get on with raking money in from us and avoiding tax. While running the media. That tells us we need to get angry about charities, benefit cheats, fake beggars and spurious disability claims. Oh, and immigrants. Definitely them.

Heres something thats boiling my piss 24/7 at the moment. Fucking LITTER. I dont know if I'm getting more sensitive to it or what but every time I go out the house my eyes seem to home themselves in on fucking litter EVERYWHERE. When i take the dog for a walk I am constantly bollocking it for picking up examples from the fucking thousands of pop bottles and cans that are lying around along the side of all the paths and tracks round here. I walked along the side of the road up to Shirland the other day and the bottom of the hedge is SOLID FUCKIN LITTER!!! Milk cartons, beer cans, packaging, hundreds of thousands of bits of rubbish everywhere I fucking look. How has it all got there? I can't believe that so much shite has just been dropped by careless folk walking along there, its just not possible, theres hardly anyone walking along there. Theres a new estate opposite with loads of quite expensive new-build pleasantville houses, some of which look out over fields. If the residents train their eyes to look over the fuckinshitload of litter on their new grassy bank at the edge of the estate that is. Those people who have spent all that money on their new identikit houses arent gonna chuck loads of rubbish outside their front doors are they. So how has it got there? I was driving to work this morning and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the laybys along the side of the A38 has been fly-tipped with sacks of rubbish that have all been ripped open leaving shit everywhere, snagging on all the bushes and trees. ONe has a smashed-up sofa sitting there. I can't bear to look at it all man. I want to take the dog out for a walk but I find it all so depressing looking at all this shit strewn everywhere that its a totally joyless experience. My eyes dont see the trees, plants, grass, wildlife, fields and whatnot, all they see is fucking crap dumped everywhere by cunts. Who wants to live in a world surrounded by all this shit? What fuckin chance have the oceans and rainforests got if we cant even keep the little bits we actually live in 24/7, half presentable? NONE.

 

I could ring the council and moan but unless they have a fuckin army of litter pickers on standby they havent got a bastard chance man, theres just so much of it everywhere. It just makes me want to live in my dream horsebox miles away from humanity and never see another fucking person.

 

I would very happily buy some thick gloves and some rubble sacks from screwfix and tidy it up myslef but its a fuckin lifes work man, I have got to earn a living and feed myself and once ive done that theres bugger all time left. If someone wants to cover my mortgage payments and buy me some food I will get started tomorrow.

[Captain Furious]

I’m kind of with you on the litter. Not because it’s a major issue around here but because it’s just so indicative of the shoddy cunts I am forced to share the planet with these days.

 

I was brung up not to drop litter, but even if I hadn’t been, it’s pretty fucking obvious that it’s not the done thing innit. I notice it most at places like santa pod, after an event I make sure that my little 100sqft plot is litter free, but I never cease to be dismayed at the absolute shit tip some people will happily leave behind

 

It literally takes like 5 minutes you scummy wankers.

[Captain Furious]

And on the subject of shoddy humans, that ex footballer gobbing through the window at that little girl, ffs, spitting at another human being, it’s literally the lowest thing you can ever do.

 

I hope,he gets hung out to dry, dirty cunt.

[Cavcraft]

Right with you on the littering there. Have CCTV up to catch the twat/s who fly tip near me, if I ever find them they're getting every last bit of rubbish they dump plus a considerable load more in their front garden at 3.00am one day.

The back lanes round here are really nice, yet blighted by wankers dumping all kinds of rubbish, from tyres to couches and all sorts in between. Missed a national litter picking day last year, so went out a couple of weeks after and got about 12 bin bags full of general crap which I took to the tip. The missus said to just report it, but it's still going to sit there cluttering the countryside and wrecking the place for the local wildlife, plus the council are stretched enough as it is. I drive the lanes to work everyday in the hope of catching the lazy bastards that are fly tipping, one particular road often has two bags worth of McDonalds wrappers etc just lobbed in a layby.

Nearer to work often entrances to fields are just a huge mound of conifer cuttings, couches and rubbish, none of which I'm sure come from the myriad double hair cut 'tree specialists' with Transit pick-ups.

[Sir Snipes]

You boys should see the m20 whenever there's an operation stack. I'm sure any kent locals will back me up on this.

[tooSavvy]

On Sunday I tootled the anklebiter along to her M8s gaff.

 

Two big vans (Community Action logo) parked up and about 12 folks with pickers & bin bags going through undergrowth - later in the day they had all packed off but about 30 filled bags were on the verge for collection...

 

Volunteers Lyke...

[purplebargeken]

Litter, urrghh. A pet hate. Nobody here gives a fuck, just throw it where you want.

 

I clean the stuff up from in front of the house but no other fucker seems able to the same outside their own place and they are content with it looking like shit. Wankers.

[stonedagain]

ITV wankers! Broadcasting stupid crappy horse racing on ITV1 this afternoon instead of tipping point! How dare they? Why can't they show the racing on ITV 2/3/4 instead?

We (parish council) organise litter picks, as do others locally.  The shame is that we have to.

[beko1987]

I saw something in the paper about a local litter pick last week. Was fully up for helping, Eva would have too but it's at 10am on a Thursday... At which point I will be at work. So no then. I'll just keep mowing the communal bits of grass the council won't touch

[cros]

I've done litter picking with about 20 other village idiots, what a futile task. Theres a particularly nice stretch of road near me that is blighted by rubbish and I think the sight of us dayglo'd twats bent over on the verge give passing cars a target to lob their garbage at. The one mile stretch yields a transit pickup full every year, its a wonder the entire country isn't completely submerged in fast food packaging by now.

There's no will to oppose this sort of behavior. It could be sorted, and easily, but it won't happen, you get laughed at for even being bothered about the environment.

Not like it’s one of the biggest race meets of the year or anything

 

Think yourself lucky - I worked a mile from Cheltenham racecourse for years and had to endure the people who actually go to the races!

When I came to pick up the gooner I thought that, driving past all the back entrances to the place, must have been utter fucking chaos

CLEAN FOR THE BOLLOX sounds like some kind of punk revival supergroup.

[DVee8]

I use to know a girl who worked in one of the charity shops, I can’t remember precisely which one but it was one of the main ones. She used to delight in telling anyone who cared to listen how all the decent stuff that was brought in got distributed between the staff and all the left over shit nobody wanted got put out for sale

 

Yeah i’m sure they’re not all bad, let’s not pretend they’re all paragons of virtue either

My Mother use to work in a couple of the larger charity shops over the last 15years,this is what would happen,at discounted prices.

My kids were very well looked after with a lot of brand new still in packets or still with large chain store tags on.

I have a brand new at the time Nike football managers coat that had the tags on.

[Bren]

Ill again. I am on such a large dose of steroids I have a vastly weakened immune system. Hence it is one bug after another.

 

Is it me or is it the worlds longest fucking winter? Spring my arse.

[Eddie Honda]

It's you. It hasn't been long, just late.

[AlabamaShrimp]

My dad's in hospital again. He has dementia, in a care home and this times it's a chest infection.

 

Of course my mum and brother are wailing he's going to die again just like last year. I know it's upsetting for them but he's in hospital, let them do their job and wait and see stop loosing your shit at everything.

 

I always come across as heartless at times like this but really stuff like this, while bad, are things that we all inevitably have to face.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

With you on that buddy - I don't see it as heartless and I'm sure there's worry involved - but to let it overtake you without a damn good reason isn't helping anyone at all. Best of luck........

 

The litter issue is pandemic - it doesn't matter where you go, the place is a fucking dump site for someone....... It's sad to see, especially when all those tourists/visitors go somewhere to see the beautiful xxxxxxx (insert name place here) and leave behind all their shit so the next group enjoy the wasteland that once was the beautiful xxxxxxx....... ignorant selfish fuckers the lot of them. Does community service still include the litter picking gangs? It always seems to be the famous* bods you see doing their road sweeping etc... but I have never ever seen any toe-rags already guilty of whatever crime - being used to sort out their own area......... is that not happening any more?

[alcyonecorporation]

Work had been improving.

 

Oh, never mind.

[Captain Furious]

I think chain gangs have been ruled against their yuman rites or something, I think its preposterous too but sadly i'm not making the rules.

[dave21478]

Some places really don't help themselves though.

The local dump was sound... anything goes as long as you don't take the piss, although no removing stuff from the skips.

It then got taken over by Veolia and became less about disposing of rubbish and more about making money.... 10 foot high fence topped with razor wire, CCTV everywhere, weighbridge, limited number of visits per household... charging by weight for anything over and for everything from commercial vehicles whether it is trade waste or personal.... Now every layby on every backroad has fly tipped rubble, sofas, cookers and binbags full of rubbish which get torn open by animals and scattered everywhere.

Great job guys, great fuckin job.

[Kiltox]

Huge part of the problem and getting worse everywhere - the tip Nazis

[Guest Hooli]

*nods*

 

You can't get rid of rubbish sometimes, so no wonder it's dumped. Doesn't make it right, but it does make it understandable.

[John F]

Litter is just one more symptom of society's generally slipping standards.

 

Nowadays not one shit is given about driving standards, school attendance, petty crime, staff / customer loyalty, product quality, etc., etc.

[clayts450]

I used to regularly clean up litter in the small woodland at the rear of my garden but in the end it was futile - for every used condom I picked up (with gloves and/or litter picker, natch) a double mattress would take its place literally seconds later.

 

That was a few years back - it was so disheartening, I just went 'fuck it'.

 

Nothing changes....in our local rag this week, the self same woodland
