@btripz it’s annoying isn’t it? Perfectly sane, well educated people click on the ‘i’m going’ to the big red truck thing on facebook and talk about it being such a christmasy thing. Utter rubbish.
Someone wrote to the Echo about how the truck and company isn’t great re plastics and got loads of people telling her to lighten up and stopping being a misery guts. But sugary drinks are causing obesity issues around the world and the health issues related to that, plastic is a problem as it’s poluuting pretty much everywhere, they are bleeding dry the land around the factories (quite an issue in India), their dodgy behaviour in Colombian subsidary factories is also a problem. So around this time each year I post this link.
See, this bugs me as well…the Americanization of coffees - all this flat this, light shit that - its a fucking coffee and it comes as it comes, like people who ask for well done Filet Mignon… or order ‘seared’ bluefin tuna and then send it back as its ‘not cooked’ - ignorant cunts.
Request to the mods - can we retitle this thread “Grumpy old bloke gripes #9” please? If I have the number wrong, and there have more than eight previous threads in which grumpy old blokes gripe about things that have happened over the past few years, please forgive me and put the correct number in the thread title.
New things come along. Old things change. Some old things wither and fade away*. It’s called life.
* Feel free to insert your own joke at Bletch’s expense here. Even if you just think of one that’s OK.
There is evolution / change and there is just wrong - well done filet is just wrong. And I reserve the right to whinge about the Americanization of things. It used to slowely evolve so teh shift never felt so noticeable… why do we have to copy their crap? What next, change our gun laws? Vote for a fuckwit? … oh, we aleady did that
It’s almost farking impossible now to buy a pair of “normal” Jeans.
I don’t need my scrotum rammed into my arse thankyou very much, and also in temperatures of 30 C or so it is kind of helpful to let SOME air circulate.
Next I’ll be forced to grow a beard, wear glasses drink craft beers eat Avocado and say awesome a lot.
Victim culture seems to be growing by the day. Today’s victim is Annabelle Fuller who shacked up with Nigel Farage but was told to keep it all hush hush for the sake of the cause (UKIP). At the risk of sounding like the Duckster, you did have a choice Annabelle and you chose to go along with it. Hooking up with married men who remain married probably tells you all you need to know about your place in the relationship and your future within that relationship.
Gentlemen…there is no steak battle here… they are all rather wonderful if cooked correctly… that is the only must. Be it a simple Entrecote (has to be a proper french cut), the finest Kobe/Wagu beef filet, A wondefully marbled Rib Eye, or even a big thick cut Sirloin on the BBQ… all are welcome. Just dont nuke the fucker and we will be at peace.
Apparently parents are now hiring professional photographers to take pictures of their darling baby on its first birthday smashing the shit out a perfectly edible cake.
