Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[red98]

All that money going up in smoke, think how many packets of cigarettes they could buy instead.  :lol













or gallons of fuel they could buy............... :rolleyes          :lol

[fazersharp]

We used to open up the bangers and collect the contents to make bigger explosions.What gets me is the size of rockets going up in small back gardens with no concern as to where that massive stick and big lump of plastic is going to fall back down - on my car- on my roof and then in my gutter.

Just got back from the supermarket. People with big trolleys who dawdle and block the aisles. I just want to get in and out as quickly as possible. Get out of my way. Worse are the old blokes on trolley pushing duty,  while their wives go through a paper list that goes on and on. You know who you are!  :groan

We used to go o the local gun shop and buy crow scarers as the bangers you could buy then were crap. They are even worse now!

Once we had the crow scarers, it was a trip to the local monastery to let them off. It was fun watching the monks come running out to try to find us as we drove off up the road :rollin

And people who leave their trolly at one end of the isle whilst they go off up the rest of the isle --- I like to put random things in their trolly for them

Oooh, you naughty boy, you're not allowed to use the B word in here!  :lol


I was very careful not to say you're a typical selfish Remainer, but...  :b

There’s something else that gets my goat.  Smoking.  Why is it so foccing hard to give up?
Two weeks in (again) cold turkey.  Still craving. 
Could murder a smoke.

Ah BREXIT.  Supermarkets will be full of food but devoid of people.  The foodbanks will be full of people but devoid of food.
Maybe the EU will step in with humanitarian aid.
Did somebody say BREXIT?  :eek

And the puffins will be extinct.....and we won't be able to find aspirin in the shops, let alone any real drugs........and the sky will fall in (again?).........

Lets get back on topic  :lol

I'll tell you what's getting my goat right now.....whenever I start a new paragraph in a post, there always seems to be two empty lines in my posts between the paragraphs after I've hit the "Post" button, even though I only hit the "return" button to add one empty line each time. Then I have to go to "Modify" and back-space out the extra blank lines.

Ooohhhh, it makes me sooooo mad !

......and there we go, I've had to do it again....................................... :lol

Sorry, I couldn't resist  :rolleyes

The opposite is happening also. It's taking out intended empty lines and closing paragraphs up together. I tried modifying but it made no difference.

Talking to a primary school teacher the other day, apparently the old nursery rhyme " baa baa black sheep" is now " baa baa rainbow sheep". Anybody ever seen a rainbow sheep? You couldn't make it up could you...when I was a kid there was a telly programme ( and accompanying song) called "white horses". Do you think if they remade it it would be called "rainbow horses"? People who see the word " black" as a racist slur when used in a perfectly normal context are surely the ones making it so. And that's what's gets my goat today..

Can you imagine coming out with a song"young gifted and white" ? bet it wouldn't even get published :eek

Foccing BT Sport, sat down to watch the MotoGP and halfway through the second lap the result came up on the bottom of the screen and the results for the Moto2 and Moto3 races. Unbelievable, and the presenters get worse every race and the claptrap they spout , bring back Parrish and Cox, at least they made me laugh sometimes.

Yeah, I needed that like I need a third armpit.

You know what's getting my goat right now?
BREXIT?  Well yeah.  But something else is getting my goat right now, and its being doing so this time each year since 2011..............
Poppy fascism..
Why does anybody have to explain not wearing a red poppy?  I mean what the fuck?.
Apparently a footballer I’ve never heard of has had to explain why he does not wear a top with a poppy printed on it. His name is Nemanja Matic.  I’m thinking – mmmmm – interesting name.  And guess what he’s Serbian.  Why would a foccin Serbian wear a red poppy.  How stupid can people get?
.
No, frankly I can't think of anything more tacky than premier league footballers with red poppies printed on their shirts.  This demeans and trivialises remembrance.  Quiet contemplation at at an English premier league football game – really? 
.
No longer is it good enough just to remember, but people today are more interested in being seen to remember.
Rant over.
