Trivial things you don't understand/mildly annoy you

[nevillew]

see the roundabout down the road from me descends into chaos when the lights are out.  in the morning you'll be in a queue for a good two and a half miles if there off but when they're working there's no problem at all

Lights only at peak times would appear to be a sensible compromise - which will therefore never happen.

My wife going on a sustained internet shopping spree for things we don't need - always a prelude to another bout of depression.

Dreamt that we lost 5-0 to Oxford last night.  No joke.  I bought my tickets yesterday and it will be my first game of the season...possibly playing on my mind more than I had thought.  In mitigation, Crewe was still the opening League game of the season in the dream (and was still to come), so I dream-deduced that the defeat must have been in a tinpot cup competition.  Still mildly annoying though.

The deluded scummers thinking they will win the league because the beat the mighty birmingham 2-0 in a friendly last night. Its all ive heard this morning.

Fuck off

If we spank the plastics on Saturday we will have our fair share of fans thinking the same though.

Just like when we beat Notts forest. We will win the league and Dossevi will be top scorer, oh how we were wrong.

I doubt it, Notts Forest dont exist.

You're going to start them off again.

edit: seems I was too late to warn you. The pedant police already busted your ass.

Bait it up, cast it out and reel it in.

Ok, just back from the Gym and reminded of 2 things that really do my head in.

Obviously being old this is the only time I ever see that new fangled music television stuff and frankly one 'video' in particular is fucking me right of.  By some young terraways (well they're the same age as me) called take that.  The premise seems to be that they have been beamed down and the authorities are so terrified they've sent the army in to aim guns at them as they gaily dance around singing some frightening ditty about the 'kids'.  Granted 40 years olds prancing around in front of the aformentioned kids to get their attention is a little worrying, but surely someone needs to shout fire. 

At one point they stop terrifyingly wielding their drum and keytar as a 9 year old breaks rank to take a picture on a polaroid camera.  More questions - why has a 9 year old got a polaroid camera?  Where is his htc / iphone / samsung galaxy complete with 20 billion zillion pixel digital camera.  And why is he so attracted by the middle age men.  Is he a recently confirmed catholic who is now programmed to be fascinated by middle aged men thrusting their parts about.  Also at this point, its the ideal opportunity.  The way they are lined up one shot could take at least 4 of the disturbingly single middle age men out.  But no they just let them continue the prancing.  Its just all wrong.

The other thing Im sure has been covered, is that pepsi max bollocks.  3 blokes so desperate to watch car racing (car racing mind - not football, cricket or anything actually important) they bring a parrot into a presentation, one dresses up as a saw type clown and one dons a horses head to persuade their boss that he's going mad and needs to go home. 

Oh and well were about it, on a previous occasion pepsi max have had their hilarious blokes fake the end of the world so one of them could fuck some girl.  Isn't that tantamount to some sort of abuse? 

Anyway, back to the car racing.  When they manage to get the boss to go home they start watching the race and then start some sort of victory dance thrusting themselves about because they are so cool. Watch the fucking race you assholes.  You've made that effort, sowed the seeds of doubt in you're bosses mind about his sanity (I'm sure he's a nice bloke and the follow up advert where it has all gone wrong and he's being carted off to a mental home having lost his home and his family after he started doubting his sanity) and yet what you and your closet gay mates want to do is dance around with each other congratulating yourself on how cool and funny you are.

What a bunch of absolute cunts.

Good workout?

Lovely thank you.  Certainly got the tetchyness going!
