WHY?????

Why do I care that the person in front of me has a baby in their car? Do they think it will stop me from deliberatly ramming them?

I fucking hate them. I might start manufacturing them though. As every cunt with a kid seems to have one these days I'm sure theres money to be made. some examples:

"little cunt on board"
"Please dont ram me I've got kids you know"
"Please excuse my poor driving, these little shits in the back are doing my head in"

The original purpose for those were to alert rescue services that there was a 'baby on board' in the event of an accident. Now they are pointless

The 'spin-offs' such as 'Princess on board' annoy me. :x

Especially when you overtake and there's a fat munter driving who's hobby as a child was obviously to chase parked cars. :shock:


Apologies in advance for those of you (or friends, wives or girlfriends) who have a sign and are not aesthetically challenged. :oops:

I have on mine a town sticker and "steven gerrard the 8th wonder of the world" banner thing.

huh? stev gerrard 8th wonder of the world?

I thought Andre the Giant was the 8th wonder of the world?

Its a banner saying "steven Gerrard 8th wonder of the world"......

who!?

why do you have that?  :o

:soapy tit wank:

Oh him?!! :?

I have it because it amused me when i saw it in someone else's car and wanted it because of being a liverpool 'follower' (dont want to say supporter - due to previous arguments) and my liking of steven gerrard.

Oh and jaanage, the fact im a football club slag.

Andre the giant was quality!  I still have an old Hulk Hogan video where those two fought.

dont worry! im a pool "follower" aswell  :oops:

Wrestling was so good back in the day, remember the figurines and the ring you could buy - I had loads because my nan would always get them from the states

dont remeber that pi?

Rich has pictures of Gerrard plastered all over his wall as well

no actually i have a kaiser chiefs poster but there you go

Yeah i had them all, quality stuff!

Isn't Andre the giant dead now? :(

He was a legend, WWF was great back then.

Andre the giant was also in the film the Princess Bride, not surprisingly he played a giant, although his name wasn't Andre.

Si, are you and Rich brothers?

I beleive he is dead.  WWF was definately quality back then, much better than now.  I tried watching it recently but it's all over the place.  Yeah i remember him in Princess Bride.

Word, those signs really annoy me, even when I was 8 they annoyed me.

Yup y?

it's just that if you know the posters on another blokes walls you are usually either brothers or gay

wow we have internet brothers, cool.

Baby on Board signs remind me of that Simpsons episode with the Barbershop Quartet :advercool:

I was in a barbershop group :oops:

The poster thing was a joke though!  :D

Aye, and old whats his face Haystacks going round the ring after he won his match going 'easy, easy, easy' that would make a good football chant I think :)

Andre The Giant was indeed the 8th wonder of the world, and was huge....so huge he had to shit in the bath tub!!!

you rock man! :smile1:

Dude that's the biggest load of shit I have ever read, non Gary Stanley post anyway.  So you're saying when there was a nasty crash the firemen would get the parent out, start packing their stuff up until one of the eagle eyed firemen shouted out

"Wait!!!  There's a baby on board sign, we gotta go back in!!!".  Don't think so.

They were designed to stop aggressive driving.

Well they originated in the US so I guess they would need signs to point stuff out! It was meant if the parent was dead, and they couldn't see/hear the child

So in a serious crash, a piece of paper dangling from the intact back windscreen would be used to tell qualified, experienced firemen that there was a baby in the back.  Not even yanks would be that stoopid.

Or if the young'n got thrown out of the vehicle, so they could check the surrounding area. They are POINTLESS now though because they are not used for this purpose and also people don't take the sign down when there is no kid on board

So is that why Diana died, because she didn't have a "princess on board" sign hanging up?  They just got Dodi out the car and didn't realise she was in there.

Look I'm just saying that's what they were meant for. I know it seems daft and it is, but it is the truth!

Alright man, chill.  Just sounds amazingly stupid to me.

I know dude, they told me I was one of the most promising young tennors they had ever seen :?

We were in a competition in Brighton.

I was also in an international competition with my school choir in Llangothlen, it was on TV :shock:

"Little person on board"

Oompa Loompas shouldn't fucking well be allowed to drive anyway. Orange skinned bastards.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick

I've got the Oompa Loompa song as my text ring tone on my phone.  :oops:

Just been watching Ultimate Warrior v Randy Savage, the loser had to retire. Downloading some more classics now.

I have to say McSporran, keep your See you Jimmy hat on, but I think the Piemaster General is absolutely correct about the origins of the Baby on Board sticker things.

I saw the funniest thing ever the other day. I saw a beaten up 20 year old Ford Escort and on the bumper it said: "My other car's a Porsche!"

I swear it's true.

Funny as fuck.

Andre the Gaint died in 1992 I think, he went to his dads funeral during that day and died in the evening of an heart attack.
I also remember Texas Tornado shooting himself in the same year.
Big Boss Man, Crash Holly,  recently died. I know loads who passed away. I used to be mad about it  :oops:

Wrestlemania 6?

I never really liked wrestling I did like Bastion Booger though 8)

http://www.tractorbeam.dk/booger03.jpg

Sorry Yeovil but you must of like it. Cos you know Baston Booger! he was only in it for about 9 months. :o

I must have liked it then.

Look at him he's ace!  and what a name 8)

http://www.tractorbeam.dk/bastion%20booger1.jpg

 :shock:

Mankind was my favourite.

http://coldfury.com/images/mankind.jpg

The first few Wrstlemanias were suck-fests but from about WM5 to WM12 were ace. My all time favourites are Randy Savage and Bret 'the Hitman' Hart.  8) Giving his cool as fuck glasses to some geeky kid before every match was supercool.

On a side note, Owen Hart had the most public death. Falling from a flying-fox type fly-wire during an extra spectacular entrance to the ring.... ouch.

The British Bulldog also died a few years back. Will never forget that quality Royal Rumble where he and Shawn Michaels were the first and last two contestents, before Michaels eventually won

I saw that on telly. I've still got it on video I think :/

Mankind was indeed a favourite of mine, anyway you cant have a wrestling topic without.....

Whatcha Gonna Do When Hulkamania Runs Wild on YOU!!!![/url]

typical thetownend.com forum. Goes from signs on car to wrestling. awesome

I beleive that was my fault  :advercool:

I just had a conversation that went from people going through black holes in space going back in time turning into monkeys so there's loads of monkeys just accumulating by black holes in space sitting around drinking tea, to the most intelligent animal in the world, to monkeys thumbs, to parrots detecting gas leaks, to baby giraffes being born just as a long neck so they bounce around like kangaroos to dolphins who're the most intelligent animal in the world so decided to just live in the sea talking in cockney accents to appear normal and let the rest of us get on with it and some other stuff. It was interesting.

That probably doesn't make much sense but I just wanted to write it down as it may come in useful in the future. Feel free to ignore this.

Best Wrestlemania was in the early 90's when Hulk Hogan was gettin his ass kicked by The Undertaker (I think).  Anyway it was about a year after the Ultimate Warrior had left WWF after having a break down following Jake the Snkae chucking him in the snake pit.

Anyway Hogan's about to get beaten when, the lights go down, on comes the Warriors music he comes running through the crowd and saves Hogan, brilliant entertainment.

After the Warrior had spent time in jail for steriod abuse.... :D

I remember the WrestleMania of Hogan Vs Warrior.....that was ace......that must have been about 15 years ago now...

Much better back then.  Hogan, Undertaker, Savage, Jake the Snake, Marty Janetti, Legion of Doom, Ultimate Warrior, British Bulldog, the main events were sooooo-perb.

I don't understand this WWF stuff. On what level are people into it? On an ironic level? On a "I'm so fucking dumb I think this is all genuine!" level? Or a bit of both? Or none of the above?

OST - Definately an ironic level i would think, certianly for me anyway.

The older stuff was just quality.  I remember once years ago when cable had the little boxes on the screen showing all the tv channels in black&white.  I watched a whole wrestlemania on there cause my dad would not order it for me.  Those were the days.

You fuckers hijacked my thread with uber-gay wrestling :cry:

men in spandex costumes hugging: gay :-))(

I haven't seen it for ages, resisted getting Sky so far, spend too much time in doors watching the box when I had it.   When I watched it, it was just funny something to waste an hour with.

From an early age it was obvious that it fake, but I still watched it.....honestly I dont know why but through the 90s I was well into it.....

Still a Hulkamaniac.... :D

I think it's impossible not be a Hulkamaniac, the man is a living legend.  if I ever became the super rich chairman of Swindon I'd asked Hogan to appear in our last match of the season.  Before the match he'd do the hand to the ear thing to each side of the ground, then he'd rip his shirt off, old skool styley.  Then he could kill Rocky Robin.

He's still about wrestling isnt he Hogan....

I remember a few years back he came back to the WWF and they had him wrestle The Rock at WM. By then I wasnt that interested in it anymore but it was Hogan back at WM!!!!

Rock was supposed to be the good guy and fan favourite and Hogan was supposed to be the bd guy. They locked up and Hogan pushed Rock to the floor then flexed his muscles, the place went fucking nuts....I have never heard a place go so crazy before....

Everyones a Hulkamaniac, brother!!!!

I hate it when threads get hijacked, so back to the point:

Back to the subject then:

Baby on board, how I've adored,
That sign on my car's windowpane
A bounce in my step; loaded with pep,
'Cause I'm driving in the carpool lane.

Call me a square; friend, I don't care
That little yellow sign can't be ignored
I'm telling you it's mighty nice
Each trip's a trip to paradise
With my baby on board.

The 'B' Sharpes - One of the best Simpsons episodes ever. FACT!

OST, I love you!

as for Wrestling, I loved it when I was about 13/14, it was ace. I knew it was fake but it was just fun, I've still got a video of the Undertaker and Mankind in a cage match, that was rough  :shock:

Wrestling was cool back in the day but not any more

i liked it when i was a youngster. i liked hulk hogan and my brother liked ultimate warrior. we had loads of videos

then about 13/14 it came back into fashion. i didnt really like anyone inparticular but it was a good laugh

the best soap opera ive ever watched

meanwhile, on the way home today the woman next to me on the road (road split in two bending left or right) had one of those baby on board signs and i thought of this thread. i didnt mind though because she was a defo milf
