That really grinds my gears thread

[Crimey]

First topic message reminder :

Removed the old one because it was full of crap.

Remember that this section is open only under the condition that it isn't used to attack others. Attacks based on religion was a big reason why it was closed the last two times, so cut it out. If you can't play nicely, don't play at all. 

Next time I'm just deleting the section, it's a waste of my time having to wade through all the crap. This thread is supposed to be light-hearted, keep it that way.

Same goes for women

[McLaren]

Football hooligan books in the same section as SAS and boxing biographies. The amount of blood,sweat,tears and sheer hardness to get anywhere in the military or prizefighting is immense, and some fat bloke who has to get steaming to have a girly fight is placed in the same section!!!

What really grinds my gears is boxing and more specifically its fans. And coincidentally for this poster glorification of the military also grinds my gears. Both are vile and unnecessary activities, and are easily the equal of football hooliganism when it comes to assigning idiocy to those that partake in them.

[seanmichaels]

The SAS are well good though. Particular the snipers who can blow people's heads off from 1500m. Vietnam was good as well.

[Derbymanc]

Most things are unnecessary activity though Mclaren, especially when you can't appreciate the skill involved.

Football is just kicking a bag of air
Rugby's throwing a misshapen bag of air
F1 is who's got the better car
etc etc

Ok, so is it only the SAS you like or do you get excited about other sectors of the armed forces?

The navy are cool. I like seaman.

Yeah but they don't (ok f1 does a little bit) involve the unnecessary suffering of people and the promotion of violence. The logic of boxing is just terrible. Get some fun punching someone in your twenties then live as a sniffling stuttering fool for the rest of your life.

I've tried looking for a hooligan section in Waterstones but I couldn't find one..

Like I said, Vietnam. Without it we would have neither napaalm nor cluster bombs at our disposal these days.

The Falklands was good as well but I imagine we would struggle to invade Argentina again. With the rugby world cup coming up shortly I believe it would cause embarrasment to the government having 15 Argies larking around on the hallowed turf of HQ.

Nb plus the Russians would probably seel the Argies the S300 missile system which would make bombing Fray Bentos difficult albeit not impossible.

We didn't invade Argentina. For heavens sake, you know nothing about the army.

Have you got nobrot of some tart?

Not sure the words "about the army" were absolutely necessary there Tina.

Boxing is a pretty tough sport to condone, one of those things I suppose. You get it, or you don't. It's like marmite, which incidentally, doesn't grind my gears. Haven't had any in a while.

Dumbest post on the entire forum....ever. Off to the golf section with you

[TopHat24/7]

[Guest]

The golf section? That place populated by nimrods who think hitting a ball great distances with expensive sticks whilst walking around in garish clothing with the sole aim of being better than some fella who f*cked it all up by nobbing four women at the same time whilst he's equally attractive wife was at home (who incidentally smashed the f*ck out of him rendering him no longer a golfing legend but complete tw*t in the process)?

[TRUSSMAN66]

In fairness to McLaren before I was corrupted by watching Boxing on TV...

I used to spend my time under a tree reciting poetry to my adoring girlfriend......Philosophizing on how we could make the world better a place !!!

But it was porn that corrupted me to the point of no return ......and I love it !!

Tell that to the poor Chinese hostess hosed down by Lewis Hamilton as he took out his post-Nicole break up angst on her by imagining him emptying his load into her face. He barely refrained from screaming "Screw you b!tch, I'm somebody too in this relationship. OK you want kids and I don't want to have sex with you. Cristiano Ronaldo also doesn't want to have sex with his beautiful girlfriend, what are you saying...he's gay? I'm gay? Is that it, Nicole...IS THAT IT????....oops did I say that out loud?"

[TRUSSMAN66]

I can't believe he split up with the egotistical chick of X factor..

Thought they were going to live happily ever after..

It's been nearly a year since Katie price last got married.....

Wonder If she knows ??..

This coming from the person who couldn't even get a posters name correct, and then deleted the evidence.

[hampo17]

You're clearly a moron, a poster had been reinstated to the forum and as such I cleaned the thread up to get rid of the garbage posted about said user, it was also an attempt to get the thread back on track which doesn't seem to have worked and certain posters are like teenage girls who have lost their first boyfriend, easy mistake to make when reading someone's username on the mobile site by the way. Not the biggest text.

Now, shouldn't you be playing in the sand?

Yeah, a good suggestion, Shah.

OK. So the first to successfully bake a lemon meringue pie (and post a picture of it on here) wins the duel. No wives or girlfriends allowed.

You know that isn't a rule here, you can just go meet someone TLD

Stay classy dolphin. No need to negate his excuses so publicly

[Pal Joey]

I have no idea what he was mumbling about, Shah.

My neighbour has started cleaning up after the big storm. He accidentally started doing some of my bit out on the front footpath. That really grinds my gears. Told him to stop, I'd do it properly when there is enough light in the morning.

As an administrator is it appropriate to refer to a forum member as a moron? I would suggest not given that the use of moron is inappropriate at any time.

[seanmichaels]

Jeff calls me a moron all the time...... And questions my sexuality.

The former is a matter of accuracy and the latter is a matter or accuracy as well

Threads about gear grinding, that end up with bickering really grinds my gears, you bunch of morons.

Only because another bunch of morons decided to stray off topic.

There's no shortage of moronic posters who have suddenly immigrated* to this thread and fortunately for us - their coup wasn't successful.

* without duty's express permission

[hampo17]

Fanboy wars really annoy me. Never understand the need to go out of our way to slate something just because you have a different version.

[Derbymanc]

The mini boxer (dog not person) making such a mess when he eats, and eating dead slow. 'Hurry up, I wanna clean the floor'

[Pal Joey]

People who deface monuments or spray graffiti around cemeteries. Also around churches.

We've had a recent spate of some d1ckheads spraying over noticeboards near meeting halls and churches on posters and notices commemorating WW1... and ANZAC events, etc. What a low act.

The cops have narrowed it down to a fan of some psycho-metal band that was playing nearby.
I really would lock that guy up and get him to scrub walls for a few years.

[Derbymanc]

Vandalizing Gravestones is one near me LD, absolutely despicable act.

[Pal Joey]

That IS destruction of those priceless artifacts in the museum in Mosul. Made me feel sick.

If ever caught, I would wrap them all in plaster and then smash them with sledgehammers and drill some holes in them.
See how they like it.

Easiest way to stop that happening? Stop being a moron.

Any chance the mods could confirm whether the house rules permit the use of language which discriminates against those with mental or physical disabilities?  (As I suspect "moron" falls into this category).  Thanks.  :thumbsup:


PS If it turns out that we shouldn't use the term I will also stop using it.

[hampo17]

I can assure you anyone using it in this thread is using it in its slang term.

[Galted]

Or just ban people who are easily offended/enjoy being offended.

Jon Snow from GoT. You mean the handsome, brooding warrior who inspires fear and respect amongst his friends. That Jon Snow?

Yep, I can definitely see the similarities between him and michaels.

Think he is referring to the simmering homo eroticism that is pretty much par for the course on the all male Black Watch.

[seanmichaels]

I'd quite like to be Jon Snow. Would love to have a go on that ginger northerner. She was in my top 5 last year but I stopped watching when the missus told me everyone got killed at a wedding.

[Mind the windows Tino.]

ginger northerner. .
