    +Also what’s been grinding my gears, is people using religion as an excuse to be homophobic. with gay marriage about to be officially legalized in 33 minutes. Did anyone else watch Quesiton Time last night? A Catholic women stated “Marriage is not about love, it is about pro-creation” I guess in that case, childless married couples should be forced to divorce and we better stick an age limit on it too…. for goodness sake, I forget people like that still exist in the world.

    Just witnessed a lady on the news say “god never put 2 men on the earth to be together”

    I’m fairly sure if god put people on the world, you can be sure he put gay people on the earth (but that’s an argument for another thread)

    It’s nearly always women opposing it too , just from my observations.

    As I live in a flat, I have to say noisy neighbours who yell and swear and play their loud music all day and into the early hours of the morning. We are plagued by that round here, with landlords who do nothing about problem tenants when you complain to them.

    Number 222 in our flat block love blasting their radio at full volume, they’re on the bottom floor and we can here it on the top floor (it’s only 3 stories but it’s still ridiculously loud, especially when they leave a window open so the entire street can listen) I’m getting very close to leaving them a note on behalf of the entire block/street.

    I’ve had the privilege of seeing Hump Backs in South Africa and Pilot Whales in Tenerife, There’s something completely enchanting and mesmerizing about Whales…

    Incidentally, does that barbaric Dolphin slaughter still happen in Japan? :/

    I had some really nice ones of some birds on a bird feeder in the snow but I have no idea where they’ve vanished to…

    Thank goodness for that!

    To slaughter them so senselessly and in such a painfully, drawn out, way angers me beyond the ability to express my feelings in words.

    I second that.

    I find it ridiculous that in some states they’re illegal, they make such wonderful pets!
    As for selling them, here in the UK they’ll only be going for £10 each .

    Angora ferrets and European Polecats sell for a LOT more.

    .

    I shan’t be voting ukip because
    A) I despise nearly everything they stand for, while not every member / supporter is racist / xenophobic / homophobic etc , several ARE, and the party is attracting a lot of it, which deeply concerns me.
    B) I’m far too much of a ‘tree hugging lefty loon’ to go anywhere near the right wing
    C) I don’t think we should leave the EU

    ukip never mentions all the British citizens that chose to live and work in and around Europe, correct me if I’m wrong, but won’t leaving the EU screw them over…?

    Also, if people want a protest vote, go green.

    Is it possible that I am the only member of the Jeremy Clarkson Fan Club ? I’m aware that I do not have to do it but, my days are very often ‘clouded’ by reading the witless meanderings of the ludicrous left as published on these Forums..

    I am both from the ‘ludicrous left’ and find Jeremy Clarkson hilarious…

    what REALLY grinds my gears, is members from the right, seemingly constantly being provocative towards the left and painting everyone with the same brush. Please Stop. It’s getting really quite offensive.

    This isn’t a direct dig at you, there are a few members on here that seem intent on being unpleasant and insulting. It’s not cool.

    Re 112

    “Ludicrous left and Clarkson hilarious”. That is an unusual pairing !

    You might be ‘left’ but ludicrous ? I don’t think so !

    My flat mate is the same, as are many other left wing supporters I know, I think people need to differentiate between left wing supporters and left wing extremists. I’m not sure being an extremist in anything is particularly healthy.

    I just take Jezza with a truck load of salt, as I think everyone should, I’m not remotely a ‘petrol head’ I like vintage the look of pre 1950’s cars but that’s about as far as my interest in cars goes. Yet I really enjoy watching top gear, things like racing airport vehicles, and playing rugy with cars and getting up to all sorts of shenanigans on their foreign travels is just entertaining!

    Matt – not sure many of us are “cool” or know how to be……

    haha, perhaps I should have worded it, ‘That’s just not cricket.’ ;]

    Saw this thread pop up at the top again, and with a follow up to my noisy neighbours, I left them a polite note on behalf of the block a couple of days after posting that comment, haven’t heard a sound since 🙂

    See, this ‘Dr Strangelove’ member is precisely what I was talking about in an earlier comment (I can’t see the post number on my phone). There really is no need to be so arsey…
