The grumpy thread

[Mr H Sceptre]

So who exactly decides whats on the playlist, and what is their criteria?Mark Riley used to be in The Fall, so is therefore a legend.

back to GOM, I was crusing in the slow lane (native land for a 1.6 bluey) on tha' motorway when the car ahead seemed absolutly shocked to see cars come from the left when passing an on-ramp. Wacked on the brakes and everything.Dude, when there's an onramp cars tend to come from the left. That big feckin sign with arrows on it is a bit of a clue.

Marc Riley's on BBC6 4 evenings a week, my band wemt up to Manchester to do a session for him a few weeks back.

Also, it's their responsibility to give way to YOU, not the other way around.

Was chatting to the rather cute tillgirl on Saturday. Messing around I started saying how much I loved her and couldn't bare to be apart. She then told me she'd always really liked me but didn't think I thought the same way. It was my last day there and I leave for New Zealand on Friday. FML.

[pogweasel]

Well I reckon that gives you five full days of hardcore boffing action, so why on earth are you posting stuff on a boring old car forum. Get to it, lad.

[Cavcraft]

/\Whs.And don't forget most till girls love having nuddy pics of themselves splashed all over shite car forums.

The last time there was a scantily clad female on this forum it didn't work out that well, let's not bother eh?

Last girl I was telling about my ZX and it's great economy and real world usefulness just nodded then walked off. Bloody lesbians

I was just about to bring that up...... although i believe most people in the Prestwich area have been at some point.

Indeed. And watching the way MES treats other band members on stage it's not difficult to see why. Off to see 'em again next Sunday though. Hopefully he won’t throw another man strop and do a bunk after 20 minutes.I think he was recently voted the scariest person to get stuck in a lift with

That and another threatening letter from the TV Licensing tossers who, despite being advised in writing (and several times by telephone) do not seem to understand the term building site. The paragraph that refers to home visits would appear to be bollocks too. 3 times I’ve invited you to come round and admire my lack of television and 3 times you’ve told me you don’t do home visits.

 

 

So, correct me if I'm reading this wrong: You have a partially built house, that the TV Licensing people have latched onto as HAVING NO LICENCE. So you must buy one, as they won't come around to see that it is infact a building site with no TV, yet they cannot comprehend that someone with an address might not have a TV. So they'll keep demanding money for the TV that you don't have until, well, evAr.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love tellybox. I'm quite happy to dribble a few braincells out of my ear every so often slumped in front of People Do The Strangest Animals 3 or something. But I know a fair few folk without such a contraption and they've always had trouble convincing the powers that be of the fact - they seem to treat it as a temporary thing, and come back in a month hoping you'll have seen the error of your ways and bought one.

I dont own or have a TV either.....they refuse to understand and are threatning to put me in jail etc, etc "come round anytime" says I............we will they say...still waiting, still receiving threatning letters...

 

 

 

NEWS FLASH.........................

 

 

 

I DONT HAVE A TV, YOU CUNTS !!!!!

Where are you seeing them?I've always loved seeing The Fall live, but in the last 6 or 7 years I've thought they've been unbelievable. Really tight & intense. MES is The Don.

what do the new lot sound like? First time i saw them was just before Fall Heads Roll came out and i think it was the same line-up every other time i saw them afterwards, but they've all gone now. I agree with you H. Sceptre that they were really tight in the last few years, i think he had some making up to do for the mid-90s shambles. He seemed a bit more sober too.... I actually went to France to see them once, and he just stood there doing nothing the whole set, occasionally fiddling with the amps etc, but only sang about three words. Afterwards, this was part of some weird festival in an old dairy, when all the bands had finished i had the surreal experience of turning one way and seeing Damo Suzuki from CAN wandering about looking confused, then turning the other way to see MES about 2 feet away from me with a pint in each hand dancing like a loon to some electro rubbish!

O2 Academy Liverpool. Or L2 as I still insist on calling it. I’m a comparative newcomer to The Fall – think my first gig was about 9ish years ago but I wish I’d gone and seen them sooner.

I wanted to photograph him having a mosh to I Ludicrous who were supporting him last year, but didn’t have the bottle! There was a right big grin on his face so it would've looked great too

[Pete-M]

Jordan. Not the country, the 'celeb'. Made millions from flashing a pair of fake norks and acting like the biggest 'Chav' on the planet. The ideal person for your kids to look up to, yup she's a millionaire but only through having absolutely fuck all decency or morals - and a pair of plastic tits."I'm a Celebrity".What a load of shite, get it off the telly. In fact, anything which 'you, the viewer' has to vote on should be taken off the telly. I cannot wait for someone somewhere to prove that it's all just a huge scam and get the whole 'reality tv' format off TV for good. Shouldn't be that hard to do, you just stop them making any money from it and they'll soon vanish.Arrgh.

[mnde]

Please go and watch Star Stories: Peter Andre & Jordan on 4OD. It's GR8 4 taking the piss out of the silly bint and "I'm a Celebrity".

Saw them at the very same venue a couple of years ago, when they had those american dudes in the band. Absolutely blinding. His missus, who plays keyboards, is a real hottie.

Arrgh.

Here's an idea.

 

 

I watched the "celebs" arrive on a boat, just to ask the eternal question - "who the fuck are they?"

[Pete-M]

If you've got a remote control for newspapers can I borrow it?I open the paper to read about Gordon Brown getting egged or whatever and there's 3 pages about Jordans tits, 2 about Posh spice being skinny, four about Strictly Come Dancing, one about Lindsay Lohan being / not being a dyke, a couple with the telly pages, one about Sir Alex Ferguson and occasionally the odd page about Afghanistan.Arghh!

[Milford Cubicle]

It serves you right for reading The Daily Sport.

People who ring me up at work and tell me they're not happy, but actually saying "I'm not happy".This isn't The Samaritans, what do you want me to do about it, bit of stand-up comedy down the phone? Some uplifting poetry? How about a limerick?To be honest, any kind of emotional wording in the context of my work irritates me, I think it's the way it implies that I'm bothered about said individual being happy, sad, angry, disgusted, whatever. I'm not - I am a problem-solving robot devoid of any sympathy towards the public at large. If I could speak with a funny robot voice I would do. In fact, I might do that.GREETINGS. HIRST-O-TRON AWAITS INPUT.Hello, I've received a letter and I'm not happy-HIRST-O-TRON DOES NOT UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS.You what? This letter has made me very upset-HIRST-O-TRON DOES NOT UNDERSTAND EMOTIONS.This is disgusting-HIRST-O-TRON CAN NOT RESOLVE YOUR QUERY, YOUR CALL IS TO BE TERMINATED. THANK YOU FOR USING HIRST-O-TRON.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

don't tell a story that's not been told before or tell it in a way that is engaging.

Yup. When was the last time you heard "Summer, the first time" by Bobby Golsboro or "No Regrets" by The Walker Brothers?Trouble is, radio stations now seem to be geared up for the Untermensch and even Radio 2 is going that way.Mind you, nothing - and I mean nothing - is worse than Hallam FM. Even Radio 1 is better.

[CortinaDave]

Complete lack of lane discipline at roundabouts really gets my goat. Loads of people seem to think its absolutely fine to start in the left lane at the entrance to a roundabout, then weave across to the inside lane and weave back to the left again to exit.Really pisses me off that.Also hate people who throw fag butts out of the window. Just because.Oh - and fines for stupid things like not re - sorning your car. If I'm not using my car on the public road I dont think its any of the DVLA's business what I do with it, and its preposterous that they can then demand £80 plus the back tax when it's not been on the road at all!
