The grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

I have to go home today.  I really don't want to, but we didn't find a house to move into while I was up North so needs must.

[autofive]

whereabouts you looking for house?

[warren t claim]

oh, I think its true all right

 

yet another celeb led around by the bollocks

 

according to a certain scottish author (who based one of her characters on savile after meeting him) theres also a senior tory whos 'rumoured' but unlikely to be named until after his death. (Ted 'young-boys-on-his-yacht-supplied-by-savile-from-jersey-care-home' Heath is already dead)

I heard it was David Jason who's next in Yewtrees crosshairs. Maybe followed by ***** ******* who is one of my favourite rock singers.

Please be Noel Edmunds, Please be Noel Edmunds, Please be Noel Edmunds....

cliff richard put most of his london & south of france property up for sale and left for burma last year and has not been back

 

(burma has no extradition treaty with the UK)

[Wilko220]

Burma? Surely he could have found somewhere nicer than that?

[RedSparrow]

Nooo, not David Jason, please!

Always seemed like a thoroughly decent chap. Hopefully they're just questioning him about someone else.

[Wilko220]

Please be Noel Edmunds, Please be Noel Edmunds, Please be Noel Edmunds....

 

Glad Jim Davidson is in the clear though. I still live in hope that they might bring back "Big Break" one day...

David Jason, that really is a shocker, as someone who grew up with Open All Hours and Only Fools and Horses, and then watched him grow into some really brilliant parts since. That's the first I've heard of his name being mentioned, though: do you think your source is any good?

[wuvvum]

Bear in mind that it's not only child abuse that's being looked at by Yewtree, it's any kind of alleged sexual misbehaviour.  So all it takes is some groupie who shagged a celeb back in the day to suddenly decide that she wants some publicity / money, or simply regrets opening her legs when she was younger and has managed to convince herself it was all the celeb's fault, and bingo, said celeb is now a target.

[chaseracer]

"But he/she looked 18..." is hardly a defence, though...

@Autofive:  Stockton-on-tees primarily, focusing on the TS17 and TS19 post code areas.

 

@Yewtree comments:  I've actually shut my brain off to this stuff because it's destroying much of what I enjoyed growing up.  Yes, paedophilia is a very bad thing for sensible reasons, but it just seems to be an opportunity to rake various celebrities over the coals to satisfy the media furnace rather than to do any real good or justice.  But since we're no longer seeing anything from Rolf or Savile, does this mean repeats of OFAH will stop now that the barest hint of suspicion has been aimed at David Jason?  I'm guessing not, I'm guessing people will turn a blind eye to that because it's such a national institution.

[chaseracer]

Yewtree is a BFO smokescreen, anyway.

 

While any 'celebs' who fiddled with kids - however long ago - deserve everything they get, the allegations against them look like a convenient cover for various political/establishment individuals.

[warren t claim]

Glad that Tarby has been gripped by the plod. I really hope he's guilty.

[Cavcraft]

Meh, no matter how entertaining or whatever someone is or was, if they really are a rapist/kiddy fiddler then they will hopefully get what they deserve.

 

I once ran round Chester race course with Stuart Hall prior to him filming 'It's A Knockout' but he didn't do anything untoward. I'm am now traumatised by the fact he didn't traumatise me and I think I should try and sue him or something.

[chaseracer]

Probably cos you're no oil painting, Billy...

[Cavcraft]

Oh yes I am.

 

Trouble is it's a 2 stroke oil painting.

stockton?

 

mmm, i dont know any stockton landlords, but i know some middlesbrough landlords (TS1 mostly)

 

you got a job in the area?

[warren t claim]

If the David Jason rumours are correct then it will make a whole lot of the BBC back catalogue unrepeatable.

[vulgalour]

I can move my job with me as I work from home.  Can't afford car insurance in TS1 and a lot of the houses in TS1 are horrible.

[RedSparrow]

I'm going to post this again. Just because.

 

[Lord Sterling]

I know exactly how you feel 'Galour. I f**king HATE the area that I live in right now. Disrespectful kids who think they are little gangsters/living in a soap opera, disinterested parents who do nothing unless thier little shits start hitting each other, then it turns into scene from 'Jeremy Kyle' with under educated obese shouty people shouting at each other whilst loads of other under-nourished, slack-jawed dole-queue botherers stand around looking.

 

I'm getting out of this very country soon, and I will never come back to live here. If I can't get out, then living in my car will be a very real option.

ah right

 

thornaby & inglebay barwick might seem nice, but there are not. Thornaby is home to many a murderer, rapist and good old fashoined gangs while Ingelby is where Brian 'the taxman' lives.......

 

 

and fairfiled is not much better

 

have you considered Norton? (nearby, better housing stock, less crime)

[vulgalour]

There are pockets of niceness and pockets of shittiness, like anywhere in the UK really.  There are some parts we've seen that we basically just kept driving through, and some parts that were really very pleasant areas with good amenities and a distinct lack of Jeremy Kyle style bollocks.  So it's a bit hit and miss.  Generally if a house is near to £300 pcm you don't want to live there, if it's near to £600pcm you do but our budget is a max of £500pcm, especially since the third person has ducked out.

 

So yeah.  Providing it's better than the hellholes I've had to tolerate in the past, hasn't got students, excessive quantities of tramampomoines, litter, graffiti, and is somewhere I'd feel safe leaving my car outside I'm happy with it.  Mike is more picky, he wants the house to be nice, have a garage and be pleasantly decorated but I know from experience you can't afford to be that picky at this end of the market.

 

Providing I get out before the year ends I'll be happy.  Interestingly* my wheel nuts haven't come loose and my tyre pressures haven't changed while I've been up here... not even once.

Virgin broadband,goes down every time i download anything,watch you tube or just because,takes ages to come back on.

Very fast but waste of time.

Keep trying to get it sorted but after spending an hour or so waiting for answer i get to speak with unintelligible moron reading from computer screen telling me to check my pc settings then getting lost when i tell them i am running linux..

They say they will pass me to supervisor,but usually give up waiting after an hour.

 

On another subject,several tv  programs i like have recently been infested by some moronic dwarf in corner gesticulating im deafinese.

Cant watch it.

***** *******, whose only remaining bandmate has already been in trouble for that sort of thing?

[RedSparrow]

Hey, it just occured to me that if David Jason did do something terrible to some kids then it would mean the end of Trotterisation of Reliant vehicles.

Every cloud etc.

[Cavcraft]

Who does he tax, old ladies or something? He and his mates are about as scary looking as a slightly perplexed field mouse whose best friend has just been evicted by a rogue swarm of bothered looking tree fairies. 

[autofive]

he taxes corsa & push-bike owners

[Cavcraft]

Uh-oh, pretend I never said that.
