WHAT Made You ANGRY Today?

Jim,

They won’t have scales big enough.

Don’t worry John, we get them here as well. if had a Dollar for every accidentI dealt with,simply by idiots driving like that in snow and ice, I would be a Millionair.

Snafu,

What time did you go to Tesco ? My bill for something similar to your shopping knocked me back – plus booze – about £150 !

It always amuses me to see ‘Dirty Sanchez’ in the Radio Times or on TV trailers; would that be possible if more people knew what it referred to?

If you don’t know, I wouldn’t suggest looking it up (as I had to); you’re better-off not knowing!

Or buy a copy of “Roger’s Profanisuarus” –

I’m surprised that the forum sweary filter allowed **** to pass through…

After nearly a foot of snow last night, some idiots still drive like it’s summer. A kid in a Honda speed up to pass me just to get one car length ahead ignoring the icy roads.

Where do you live Boyle ?

We have +3 C and almost no snow ( which is unusual ).

Australia is warm ( +41 C in Winton ): http://www.foreca.fi/Australia/Winton

I am a bit angry the climate change is not turning Finland into subtropical region.

I’m surprised that the forum sweary filter allowed c**t to pass through. Apparently the word was commonly used around the 13th century, mostly in the anatomical sense. A lot of Britain’s towns would have had a Grope C**t or Gropec**t lane, where one would go to seek out prostitutes. It is only during the interim period that the word has become somewhat taboo. It is viewed as an especially distasteful word in the US, where it is seen as having deeply misogynistic connotations. Oddly enough, compared to some words for female genitalia, which equate them more as ‘penis sheathes’ than anything else, c**t is potentially one of the less sexist words you could use. Part of me does think a word is simply a word; a jumble of letters or a noise you make by manipulating the lips, tongue and teeth. At the same time I cannot exactly change public opinion by bandying the word around on an Internet forum and hoping for the best. I find it interesting that a word can change severity over time.

Chinese ‘students’ who don’t feel they should queue. Back home everyone knows daddy owns the village, and they are used to us peasants making way. Cambridge is full of them!

We have them in Edinburgh too! 😀 The problem is not just with the lack of queuing either. Whenever I’m near the Uni (which is most of the Southern half of Edinburgh) I find gaggles of female Chinese students giddily holding onto each other. Often they will walk in front of you and then stop on a dime, or walk on a trajectory that slowly brings them into your direct path. All very frustrating. I’ve seen it suggested that years of feudalism effectively wiped out the middle and upper classes in China, so that all that is left is the money’d peasants that got lucky. I don’t know if there is any truth to any of that.

What time do you want me to come round tomorrow? 🙂

Went to Tesco just now, got a £15 2kg duck for 30p and a £45 10 person turkey for 99p, lots of mince (at least five 500g trays that I can see from here), pork chops and joints (at least six of each), sausage stuffing (lots), chilled party food (at least 10+ packs), cream (three 600ml tubs of double cream, five of those horrible tasting cream and booze mixtures that the wife likes, and a couple of whipping cream tubs), bread, three 2.5kg bags of spuds, carrots, onions, sprouts (ugh!), swede, turnip, parsnips, cauliflowers (fresh, with several days of the best before left), broccoli (ditto), two 4l cartons of milk, etc, and paid the grand total of…£7.04. Only thing I paid full price for was gerbil food. In fact got so much reduced stuff I decided not to go to Asda since there wouldn’t be any room in the freezer.

So what makes me angry? Over stocking by the commercial sector: little wonder Tesco is currently not in a good financial state.

The little gimp from around the corner who was out walking his dog earlier.

Your dog chases my cat again, son, and I’ll boot its ****!

Yes, I was slightly amazed !

How did that even get past the swearing-filter…

…you can post that but you can’t say ****! :rolleyes:

(****, as in fuel-****, stop-****, ball-****, ****-pit, etc. not penis!)

Work. My job seems to be populated by halfwits who are incapable of passing on even the smallest bits of information without making a complete balls-up of it.

Appreciate that. ’nuff said, I think. Thanks, Meddle.

Meddle…..Pretty broadminded, me…..have to be, I work with the general public. I can understand if not agree with a lot of what you say but did you really have to use that word at the end of your first paragraph. Not great.

Halfords.*

A few minutes later, my bike reappeared. Will informed me that the mechanic wished to offer me a free service for my bike as a goodwill gesture. Having heard some horror stories about Halfords standards, I politely declined.

I live literally right next door to a Halfords, and have only used them once, for an MOT. It passed, but they told me
lots of things needed doing.
I gave my van to a mechanic friend, who told me there was nothing wrong with it. He said that the fitters who worked
there were on bonuses for every item they replaced. So it was in their interests to find lots of jobs to do.

You amaze me! Quite happy to flavour my language on occasion but, frankly, that one I neither use nor tolerate. Offensive? It’s off the scale.
