The grumpy thread

[dollywobbler]

Well, I'm passionate and don't get paid very much. Does that do?

[dollywobbler]

I've no complaints. There's enough cash really, though I'm sure I could earn a lot more doing something I didn't like doing. In fact, I did for a time.

 

Not all magazines are tanking - though some big publishing houses seem to be having a bad time of things. My heart bleeds.

[cobblers]

I'm not sure what thread to put this in - I'm more confused than upset by it. This song came on radio 2 this morning, and I genuinely thought the radio was playing up or something. I even tuned the thing in again to be sure

George Micheal singing "true faith" in the style of Stephen Hawking bobbing upside down in a lake. It's for comic relief, perhaps its supposed to be funny?

No, it's just "shit".

 

[trigger]

That George Michael song could have been really good if he had sung it like his older stuff, this strange gurgling effect version just sounds shit, it reminds me of Cher's Believe.

Radio 2 aren't playing it very much though are they?

 

They're not daft, they know it is utter shit the same as the rest of us!

 

Honestly, with the (POSSIBLE) exception of Perfect Day, can anyone name ANY charidee single that wasn't gahstly utter utter crap that would never have got made if it wasn't supporting "Daft Shorts For Charidee" day.

They seem quite happy to play that utter shit 'Pricetag' song all the fucking time.

Warning - this video contains the destruction of an old Merc and Justin Beiber

[outlaw118]

After watching this, I don't want to hear another thing about banger racers being "Animals" or "clueless" or "moronic".

That bloke is a first class cunt.

And so is Justin Bieber.

[Barry Cade]

 

 

Chrome arches. Argh. Someone should have turned the sledgehammer on him for doing that.

 

Please- no more Justin Bieber posts. I can't take anymore. 2 bloody teenage girls in my house.

[Negative Creep]

Admittedly I'm not the target demographic but what is attractive about someone who sings like a girl and whose balls don't appear to have dropped yet?

[Barry Cade]

Dunno, never worked for me at that age

[CreepingJesus]

Bieber's a cunt. The latest, and almost certainly not the last, in a very long line of teenypop record industry cash cows. Bieber vs James Hetfield; there's a Celebrity Deathmatch waiting to happen. I have two teenage daughters, and they never tire of finding new and (self)amusing ways to take the piss out of the sqeaky clean little grin monster*. That in itself is worth a grump.

But I reserve today's real ire for the makers of Penguin biscuits. Not only are the jokes on the wrappers not funny, my elevenses Penguin tried to make a joke based on Picasso being an Impressionist artist. Fuck you Penguin makers. Just fuck off.

Then daughter #2 had a Penguin when she came home, which had the same joke. In mitigation, her ire may have staved off some Bieber hate, so it's not all bad. Maybe.

 

*I bet he's actually a secret donkey-fucker with a rampant coke habit.

[pogweasel]

Penguins are shit, end of.

Unless its penguin cake bars, which are the yum.

[Jon]

From a Penguin wrapper a few years ago:

 

Funny Fact no.11

 

If you put a drop of alcohol on a scorpion's back.....(flip over plastic on wrapper)

 

....it will immediately go insane and sting itself to death.

Hilarious, I'm sure you'll all agree

[face]

I also fail to understand the Bieber thing - he cannot sing live, and on the couple of times the decisions I have made in my life have somehow lead to me witnessing him on TV, can't mime either. Not even fucking close, I think he was on OMGXFAKTERBRITTENSSWEETHART during the last series, and I was embarressed for him - he wore a massive microphone to cover his mouth and the camera's were blatantly ordered to not zoom in, and you could still see he was miles off.

Fucking god knows what the population of the USA is, but surely there is no shortage of teenage boys that look like chipmunks but actually have at least some talent

[Cavcraft]

Penguins always remind me of a ROFL moment with Mrs C many moons back:

 

Mrs C: Who was the fish eating character from the Batman films?

 

Me: The Penguin.

 

Mrs C: Haha, WRONG! Made in England by McVities.

 

I've never let her live that down..

 

 

Back to being miserable:

 

This is the sixth day some penniless arsewipe/mingebag is supposed to have turned up to buy something off me and the sixth day on the bounce he's come out with some wank excuse.

[CreepingJesus]

Fucking god knows what the population of the USA is, but surely there is no shortage of teenage boys that look like chipmunks but actually have at least some talent

 

He's "fucking" Canadian, thank you.

 

He is, too; well I reckon it's time for a verse or two of 'Blame Canada'. Take it away Cartman...

[ashmicro]

"He" is a Canuck. Puberty is going to hit him like a train. Then, hopefully, a train will hit him like a train.

that explains a lot

[michiel]

A different Bieber:

 

 

Oh Canada... thank dog you gave us No Means No as well.

[Negative Creep]

Bieber, Celine Dion, Nickelback, Bryan Adams..............can someone pass a binding UN resolution stopping this please?

[Pete-M]

Aye, there can't be much worse than a French Yank

Nahh, it's in Bosnia. I have a tank turret aimed at it now.......
