The angry thread

[Newportnobby]

Recently there have been a lot of them stating "Salt spreading".
Have I ever seen it being done?

This usually happens to me when I'm eating my lunch while driving. It's not easy to eat a bag of crisps without that happening! Usually all over my new, clean trousers  :'(

To make life a bit easier put the mug of coffeee down 1st 

And the electric shaver from the other hand

We may have extra fingers down here in Wiltshire but we don't have extra hands

You obviously don't do what I do and have the bag of crisps on your lap..........

Just getting to set up for drilling some holes to make my new framework and my only drill apart from a dremel has just decided to expire.
NOT HAPPY AT ALL.

further to the posts on the motorway / A road info signs, on the way to work this evening, coming down the A23 towards Brighton, the sign read :

A27 CLOSED AFTER A284

right 

A23 joins A27 as a T and you can go A27 east or A27 west.

A284 .... of course we all know this crosses the A27 at Arundel north/ south don't we 

Arundel is of course about 25 miles west of Brighton.

Why don't these wombles use a bit of sense, and for instance make the above message read :

A27 WEST CLOSED AT ARUNDEL AFTER A284

plent of space for that on the huge board, and actually gives some usefull info to motorists who are not walking road maps !

I bought a 'walking road map' some years ago.
It has the habbit of saying ''turn left (or right) half  mile back along the road'' or 'Are we going to stop for lunch at that nice bub back there'' 

She then goes into a mood and refuses to speak to me for days  (bliss pure bliss)

  Paying extra for 'next day delivery' only to have the dispatch date knocked back so the next day is a Saturday when the couriers don't deliver

I don't know how much you paid, Jon, but is she still under warranty

Not so much "angry" but more of an exasperated observation:

Top Gear shorty Richard Hammond has yet another programme out with the first 2 words of the title being "Richard Hammond's...". Is the now floppy-haired broadcaster compensating once more in this tiresome semi-eponymous way for his lack of inches, and associated inability to be let on the adult rides at theme parks in a "short man syndrome" kind of way, or is it a takeover bid so that before long no BBC show will actually be allowed to be made which isn't called "Richard Hammond's..." something or other.

Perhaps we could have a "complete the programme title competition" (no prizes).

My starter would be "Richard Hammond's Organ". A music show obviously for those who know about that sort of thing.

I don't overly dislike the chap you understand, but come on, hamster, what is up with you?

As an afterthought, I occasionally used to see him pushing his trolley round Tesco's in Cheltenham when I lived there, and always wanted to ask him if he was a "Driving God" with his trolley, as he once proclaimed when driving a madly overpowered Land Rover or something. And he is very short, if you're interested. My baguette was longer (and that's not an innuendo).

Please help me out of Hammondworld.

Yours hopefully,

Richard Hammond's GroupC.

I think it's more a case of producers thinking they're on to a winner and repeating what they think is a winning formula as often as possible.It's just that he seems to be flavour of the month at the moment.

Is there anyone who hasn't been on Strictly come dancing yet,not that I watch it anyway.
I can't understand why a program that starts off with numerous couples then takes just as much viewing time up when it's down to the last two,plus what seems to be daily updates as to what's happening.

Sue Perkins is another one who seems to be 'flavour of the month'

[Kipper]

Funny how Sue, and her sidekick Mel, disappeared from the air waves for a few years, then suddenly Sue came back, and now Mel has popped up again with her on the baking show. Was Mel "sent down" for a longer time?

Bless them though.
Saw them at Edinburgh festival about 20? yrs ago. Very funny show.

No   In fact I suspect she is now past her 'useby date' even

Why do 11 men have to gather around one layout and block the isles completely when there's nothing running because three of  them are rivet counting the operator
