Little things that irk you 2

[Pikate]

All of these things are failures next to the glory of the Barbie Ferrari my sister had when we were kids.

[Mayhem]

Things like that remind me we missed having you around here

Current irk: snow. Not snow per se, but the thought that work bosses still expect you to try to get in, when there's no flipping point in even bothering...

[BaronSqwelch]

Yeah...I walked/skated the 2 miles in today and was 2 mins late clocking in and got moaned at!

Last laugh for me though as I only have to stay 4 hours and not the 8 they wanted the robots running for....so breakfast in the pub 4 hours later it was. I think to be a manager you just have to be a ****.

[kryss]

Lol, we're back to -17 today.

[fishbowlhead]

Tail gaters again. Yes I know you've got a 4wd in the snow, that's great, good for you, now would you f##k off my bumper. I truly hope they have accidents, then people might learn.

People uploading "60fps video samples" to places and getting it wrong somewhere along the line and it coming out at 30fps and those same people not even noticing that it happened.

I'm trying to buy a new camera and I want to see 60fps samples because that's what I want to record. I know what 60fps looks like and it's certainly not any of this **** I've been viewing for the last half hour.

So the country that started the industrial revolution, invented TV and built and empire and what happens a little bit of snow and it's absolute chaos and misery, do we learn nothing , don't see scandinavians complaining or struggling, we absolute amateurs and showed be ashamed.

[Brad]

No complaints from me. This is awesome!

GET OVER YOURSELF! 30FPS DOESN'T BOTHER ME! MOST PEOPLE CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE!

Isn't it really just that in this country it is not economically viable to be fully prepared for snow every year given that it occurs so infrequently and for fairly short periods at a time?

In parts of Germany for example I know most people have winter tyres because snow is guaranteed throughout the winter, hence they are as likely to be needed as an umbrella in the UK in autumn and therefore represent a good investment.

[MisterBubbles]

But its not like nobody knew it was coming, 5 days in advance and still can't do nothing about it, where a mickey mouse backward country most of the time.

[MisterBubbles]

wasn't oops

On the surface, the Parasite expects the doctor to heal them for free, the farmer to feed them out of charity. How little they differ from the pervert who prowls the streets, looking for a victim he can ravish for his grotesque amusement.

You of all people should be clearing you own paths Mr. Bubbles

Whilst this might be true, what would you have suggested they do in that time period with the limited funds and resources available?
