Seasick Steve.

You utter, utter fraud you.

Got that idea when I first saw him. Even if he wasn't there were 100s of better blues artists out there. Made me grumble just by being shit.
Excellent disco pic though 😆

Made for TV films.

You know the sort, pond life actors, 4 lines of story padded out for 75mins, real scenery obliterated by Uni students CGI arthritic right finger, kick ass girl in lead role whose got a bihatch attitude, a car chase on an interstate highway.... a semi romantic entanglement between the lead and an angry low paid surf.

From today's ride:

Walkers who have no awareness of their surroundings whatsoever as they're in the countryside. Riding along a wide fireroad, coming up to three walkers going the same way:

"Excuse me."
...
"EXCUSE me."
...
"EXCUSE ME!"
...
"Oh fregeddit.." (uses bank to pass)

"OH BLOODY HELL! You should have used your bell!!"

😡

Drivers who come down the slip road expecting everyone to jump 10 feet to the right to let them in.

The ex apprentice who borrowed my van today, incorrectly filling in the mileage book and then forgetting to give me my keys back. He will suffer, extensively and painfully the next time he works with me.

There is some appalling spelling on this thread.

Other than that, I have nothing to add.

Around 90-95% of prisoners in the prison I work in. Ranging from your basic **** wit to utter scum. I'd say 5-10% have a chance to either make something of themselves &/or benefit society.

People who say "I'll start.." but don't.

Even worse they then start in a second post.

All in one post, a trick was missed! For shame.

People who start a topic with a question and then never write on it again once people have took time to answer, oh and people that write on threads that they have no interest in whatsoever instead of moving on

Can't shift a man-size poo resulting in much brush wielding, several flushes with the attendant long waits for the cistern to refill.

Not only are they a waste of time, but they must use much more water.

Bloody eco toilets!

Grumble, grumble.....

Had same conversation with a plumber recently saying I wanted to change loo as cistern was useless, people now using much more water as flushing multiple times

Anyway not going to grumble about anything here as I do so much complaining on all the other threads

People who wait to overtake the car in front when you are in the process of overtaking them, because they haven't bothered to until you started.

Knitted garments that look just like what you need until you see it's made from cotton.

What's the point in wearing a garment for warmth that you can't take outside in real weather?

Cotton kills.

Grumble, grumble...

Yeah I kinda do that. Sorry. Never really know what to say in response - it's not that I don't appreciate the answers. It's why I like the Tune Association Thread.

You`ve just done it sirromj, "thanks for all your answers really appreciate them" 🙂
I just think you wouldn`t ask someone a question and just walk off in a normal situation.

Gravity pisses me off. Not all the time, obviously. But , you know when you lean your bike somewhere, step away and gravity goes "It's fine mate it'll stay there". You walk off and when you come back gravity has dumped it on the floor.
Loads of things like that it does - you put a plate on the side. Turn around "Clatter!" gravity's fooled you again! Grr.

I favour greengage with an almond topping. Bit of chilled pouring cream on the side.

eBay sellers who repeatedly falsely list their items.
Then when questioned, change the listing so as to not fall foul of eBay.
Like the one who listed the new plastic snow chains and stated that you need to buy TWO if you want to fit them to both wheels.....
Picture showing 3 of said plastic plates in the listing.
So buy "two", wait for delivery, etc.
Open packet to find two individual plates.
So not even enough for one wheel!
Now I have to wait for eBay to time out the seller before they'll do anything 😯

People who park facing oncoming traffic, so their lights (if on) dazzle you, and the built in rear reflectors are pointing the wrong way to work.
