    …I am mostly being… Grumpy.

  • Jodrell Bankers

    Jodrell Bankers

    So, I’m in the process of starting a business with a couple of mates at the moment (yes, I do have mates – well, two of them anyway), and some of the shit we’ve had to take from the Council is just ridiculous. The hoops we’ve jumped through to get the plans passed fall just short of dropping to the knees and unzipping, but I’ll not go into that.

    Imagine then, the frustration when you see what other people get away with around the town, supposedly controlled by the same Council. People openly flaunting the planning regulations everywhere you look. For example; Putting plastic windows and doors in listed buildings, erecting make-shift signs and my favourite hate, the positioning of satellite dishes.

    Just walk down my road in any direction and there’s dozens of dishes on houses that break planning regulations. I bet there are on your road too. Dishes on the front of the house, just above head height. Not where they should be, but where it’s easiest and cheapest for the installer to put them. Bloody Sky TV. Not only that, some houses have two of them, one being half the size of Jodrell Bank. I think that’s so all the foreigners around here can watch their own telly and/or porn. Fair play!

    The point I’m trying to make here is how the Council seem to have double standards, making businesses like mine and others adhere to the letter of the rules, yet letting other people openly ignore them. All they’d have to do to get out of the financial shit is walk down my end of town and fine everyone with a satellite dish in the wrong place 50 quid. Bastards.

  • BB’s Shit List, Pt.4

    • Toilet RollPeople who just use a fork to eat with and cut their food up with the edge of it. No – that’s what a knife is for. Use the fucker.
    • Peeling eggs – the original wrap rage?
    • Shoppers who buy margarine because it tastes just like butter. Buy friggin’ butter then!
    • Drivers who buy a SatNav and then ignore them because they ‘know a better way’. Why didn’t you keep that couple of hundred quid in your pocket then, because ‘it’s cheaper?’
    • Legwarmers. What the hell are they all about?
    • People who drink out of bottles. Another uncouth American-led habit. Use a glass, you fuckin’ slob.
    • Gok Wan. Twat.
  • BB’s Shit List, Pt.3

    • Calling it a ‘near miss’ when two aeroplanes nearly hit each other. No, they did miss. It should be called a ‘near hit’.
    • Any twat that wears a baseball cap. Especially back-to-front. And with tracky bottoms on.
    • Posers that wear sunglasses indoors. Or wear them on the top of their heads. Cunts!
    • Pricks who say ‘my bad’. What kind of English is that? Oh no, sorry… It’s American.
    • Drivers who stop at traffic lights in that red bit with a three foot high bicycle painted on it – big fuckin’ clue what it’s there for – and then give you the dead eye when you go up the inside of them on your bike.
    • Politicians. Blah blah blah blah…
    • Tourettes Syndrome. Or any other fucking shit wank condition that doesn’t really fuck wank stain bastard exist but shit bastard fuck cunt is used as an excuse for bollock tossers to behave in a big nob unacceptable piss flaps manner.
    • Smokers that say they are ‘trying to give up’. You’ve got one in your gob – You’re not actually trying, are you?
  • Extras

    Cream EggHave you noticed how many shops now offer you ‘extras’ when you take your goods to the till?

    For example, today I went into WH Smiths for the Beano, March’s edition of Razzle, the Chronicle of the 20th Century and a copy of the latest Janet & John adventure. I piled my purchases on the checkout counter, the lady takes my money and what does she ask? “Do you want a Creme Egg?”

    No, I don’t want a sodding creme egg. If I’d wanted a creme egg I would have picked one up. Now fuck off bugging me and stop trying to sell me stuff I don’t want. Presumptuous twat.

  • BB’s Shit List, Pt.2

    • Folk singers who stick their fingers in their ears. Get a proper P.A. system with foldback speakers, for fuck’s sake.
    • People who wear trainers and tracky bottoms whilst having no intentions of visiting a gym or doing anything remotely sporty. Ever.
    • Pool and snooker players that wiggle their middle fingers whilst queueing up. That’s all of ’em, basically.
    • All Facebook members who refuse to put their picture on their profiles (excepting the Invisible Man, of course). It’s called Facebook because…?
    • Inconsiderate shits who think it’s OK to keep on revving a stationary motorbike up, then riding it up and down the street without a helmet on to ‘make sure it’s working’. The engine’s on – it’s fucking working! OK?
    • People who talk to dogs like they’re humans.
    • People who talk to humans like they’re dogs.
    • The cunt who wrote the Eastenders theme.
  • Valentine’s day

    Pah!

    I got one, so I felt obliged to give one back. I hope she appreciates it. It cost me 50p.

  • Pleeeease – fuck off dancing

    Pleeeease – fuck off dancing

    This is getting beyond a joke now. Yet another friggn’ dance show is starting… ‘Dancing on Wheels’ supposedly gives wheelchair users the chance to show off their ballroom prowess. Only they’re not actually dancing, are they? Because they can’t. More like they’re wheeling around the floor whilst some fit, scantily-clad tart cavorts around them.

    Now I know you can’t stop disabled people from dancing, even if they can’t, because that’s just wrong. And I suppose TV has to show they’re doing their bit for the cause. But this got me thinking about other possible themes for dance shows and I came up with some quite exciting ideas.

    What about ‘Blindman’s La Bamba’, ‘Epilepsy on Ice’, ‘Synchronised Spastics’ or ‘Formation Fuckwits’. Methinks they would be much more entertaining than all the shite dance shows that they’re showing on the box now. You could even have a unification show at the end of each series to find the Supreme Champion: ‘Epileptics v Spastics – Dance ’til You Drop – The Showdown’.

  • BB’s Shit List, Pt.1

    Inspired by the grumpiness of Mick Moonshine in my previous post, I’ve decided to create my own Shit List. How’s this for starters…

    • That black guy on the tele who says “Red Tomaaaatoooes”. Change the fuckin’ record!
    • Folks who look inside their sandwich before taking a bite. Ain’t that why food hygiene standards were thought up?
    • Pseudo-intellectuals who make ” ” marks in the air with their fingers. Or any tosser that does it, for that matter.
    • People who say “Absolutely” in response to a statement or question. I think this one includes most of the Earth’s population, actually.
    • Drivers who don’t think it’s necessary to indicate at roundabouts. Ignorant bastards.
    • Drinkers who stand at the bar, blissfully unconcerned about the fact that you (that’s me, mainly) can’t get served. Ignorant bastards.
    • Anyone who appears on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’. And the theme music for it. Kill me now… Aaaaaarrrrgh!!!
    • Ex-celebs that do really pants TV commercials for insurance companies because they can no longer get proper jobs. Get some friggin’ self respect innit?
    • Proud new parents who constantly change the subject around to baby stuff and bore you shitless with all the details, right down to the colour of nappy contents. Please shut up or fuck off. I’m not remotely interested.
    • Sad fucks that maintain blogs, especially ones about being grumpy. Errrr…

    Lots more to come.

  • Considerate parking

    Considerate parking

    A dying art, I think.

    Look, for example, at this terrific bit of parking. On a corner so that drivers can’t see what’s coming the other way and taking up the full width of the pavement  so that pedestrians have to step into the road to get round. Stunning!

    Appropriate choice of personalised number plate though.

  • Crap emails

    Why is it, when the tossers that make up those circular email ‘jokes’ that we all get almost daily, that they think it’s alright to compose them in a friggin’ 70 point font or similar?

    On top of that, they colour them bright blue or, worse still, red. Even worse still, they make them red AND bold as well.

    Then, even worse than that, your ‘mates’ think it’s OK to forward it on to you ‘because it’s funny’. Reality check: They’re not. They’re crap and a waste of friggin’ time and clog the internet up, so fuck off sending me them.

  • By gum

    By gum

    Chewing gum. What a foul-arsed habit that is! Look around your town. It’s on the pavements everywhere. What makes the inconsiderate fuckwits who use this stuff think it’s OK to gob it out onto the pavement and leave it where it lands? Never heard of dustbins, shit-for-brains?

    The photo here was taken on a side street in my town. Not even a main road and it’s all over the place.

    Now I realise Wrigley’s aren’t the only ones that make this crap, but as they’re the best known, I’m going to pick on them. I’ve just had a look at their web site and it’s trying to promote this shit on health grounds! To quote their web site, they have:

    …conducted research related to the benefits of chewing gum in the areas of:

    • weight management
    • stress relief
    • increased alertness, focus and concentration

    What a load of fat old bollocks. Here’s some news. I’ve done my own research and my findings are that chewing gum:

    • Is a fucking filthy habit
    • Makes you look like a chav
    • Turns your entire town centre into a shit-hole

    There. I think that’s a bit nearer the truth.

    Something needs to be done about this. Councils (and ultimately that means you and I) are paying hundreds of thousands of pounds every year cleaning this shite off pavements. And it’s not working. They clear it off, it comes back. No, let’s tax the shit off the face of the planet. Never mind taxing the fuck out of responsible drinkers like me, make chewing gum a fiver a packet. And then pass the money on to councils for the cleanup. Ain’t gonna happen though.

    We could have ‘Gum Police’ on every street corner. But that would be just plain daft, because you never actually see anyone gobbing it out, do you? Nice idea though. Then, if they actually caught somebody, they should be given the power to make the offender chip every sodding piece of dried gum off a street using just a packet of toothpicks, whilst wearing a dayglo jacket with ‘Kick me soundly up the arse’ on the back.
