A hardtail frame with rigid forks. The ones that don't bounce up and down.0 -

Oh and the term train station, it's a railway station
Are you Littlejohn in disguise? Although it would be a big disguise..... Should we say "Bus route stop" and "sea terminal" rather than "bus stop" and "ferry terminal"?
Yes you should, "simples".0 -

Anyone older than 12 who ride bikes on pavements (usually MTBs) - Are they scared of traffic? :evil: :evil: :evil:
Highly polished shoes on men :evil:
People saying "should of " instead of "should have" - it's complete nonsense. :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:0 -

We are all NIMBYs - every single one of us.Gazlar wrote:Nimbyism
Would excessive nimbyism help then? such as the residents of executive apartments in Birmingham that complained about the noise of a nearby bar, that had been in existence and playing live music before the flats were built?
Or people that complain about extensions to airports/railways when they bought a house right next to the damn thing in the first place
I have no problem with people who complain about things being built on top of their little country cottage though0 -
You mean like people living on flood plains, who complain the government don't do anything about the annual flooding?0

Yeah that kind of thing, you pays your money and you take your choice. If its something severe then fair enough such as you live in a quiet little hamlet in the middle of nowhere then suddenly someone wants to drop an airport on ya, thats fine0 -
Just a few things:
People who blame Thatcher and the Tory party for the last lot spending 13 years messing the country up.
Daily Mail readers: racists
Guardian readers liberal fascists (and the whole Apple fanboy crap is a bit much)
junkies
US Republican/tea party members/suppoters (scary nut jobs that have a chance of running a country with a $700bn military budget)
Scottish "Irish" republicans...if you hate Britain so much then move to Ireland
Glasgow students: because, like, they have to, like, talk like fannies, like, all the time, like
Glaswegians who live in places like Strathblane and Milngavnie who butcher the pronunciation of the words "seven", "heaven" and "eleven" (nb it's not "sehvehn"...arsepieces)
People who can't pronounce "Milngavnie"
Neds
The Main Street in Coatbridge: they could easily do location shots for Resident Evil movies there with the depressing nature of it and sheer number of heroin junkies (read: Zombies)
The fact we live in a country that gives people the tools so they never end up homeless and yet we have homeless. Dole scroungers... move all these people to a country where social security is almost non-existent. Would be a major reality check
The fact people watch utter pish like X Factor and Britain's Got Talent and treat them like they're the most important things in life to them (I've written about this before: http://bigrussrants.blogspot.com/2010/1 ... actor.html )
The obsession for putting people with little (or no) talent on pedestals. Kerry Katona is a crap mother, Lady Gaga is not a role model for anyone and Piers Morgan is a kunt.
I have a lot more but already sounding like one of those ranting mentals you see wandering the streets of large cities scaring women who are walking alone.Formally known as Coatbridgeguy0 -
I take it you won't be objecting to the combined nuclear reprocessing plant and paedophile outreach centre the council are planning at the bottom of your street?whyamihere wrote:You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
Not an obvious couple, all the same I'd object.0

Why would I? It's gotta go somewhere.Daz555 wrote:

I live on a main road near the middle of Birmingham. The new QE hospital is literally over the road from my house, so we get ambulances and helicopters going past all the time. The new HS2 line is going to go fairly near my parents' house, and pretty much straight through one of my usual training routes. Will I protest? Nope, I think it's great.
A nuclear reprocessing plant would imply greater investment in nuclear power, which is excellent, exactly what the country needs.
A paedophile outreach centre implies that they would be receiving support, probably counselling, which would hopefully prevent paedophiles (law abiding people who happen to like children) turning into paederasts (people who act upon those urges). Or would you prefer them to be forced underground and given no help?0 -
Stupid people breeding. Why is there no IQ test before procreation is allowed?
The 'where there's blame there's a claim' culture.
Non-disabled people parking in disabled parking bays.
Queue jumping.
People bending lipped paper clips the wrong ay when attaching them to something.
Sdps breaking my leg.0 -

considering im 19 im doing a good job of being a grumpy old man;
stupid people,
sarah palin (who does fall into the previous category, but is on her own special level of stupidity that requires its own point)
david "shiny shiny head" cameron
bad drivers - lane hogs, people who drive to slow, people who drive to fast, people who use their phones, people who drink and drive
having no money to spend on anything except the bare essentials
bad tv - glee, 90210 etc
chavs
chavvy music
people who call rotors discs0 -
Here's another one from me. People who say...
"The internet is changing everything"0 -
whyamihere wrote:People in general.
I'm starting to agree on this one, I'm coming to the conclusion that the majority of people are heartless and self-centred and there's only a few worth bothering about. When someone act hurtful these days the response is "Get over it, they're a dick" as if that makes it ok, and it's acceptable that they're just a mean person.
That's my mini rant.
Another one is people correcting my grammar when I do try hard despite my dyslexia.0 -
You mis-spelt dyslexia.
Only kidding

A hardtail frame with rigid forks. The ones that don't bounce up and down.
So A RIGID bike then :?: :roll:
Surely a 'hardtail' implies the other end (the forks) has 'soft' ie bouncy/suspension forks?MTB's, SC Blur LTc & Cotic Soul (26" definitely aint dead!).
Other, Genesis Croix De Fer0 -
Some very good points, at this moment i hate myself for reading this thread first in the morning and winding myself up?0

True, but seeing as they're relatively rare now out there on't trails, it's probably evolved as a means to differentiate between the hardtails with front suspension and without. 'Rigid' bikes, given the common use of hardtail to mean only a rigid frame, could be easily misconstrued. I suppose 'fully rigid' would be a slightly better way of getting round that.0 -
pretty much anyoen every thing.
Most people on the road as they think the middle lane is the inner one
what the hell is that, and no you don't need to swap lane 4 miles in advance of your turning ona duel carriage way grhh!
But mostly I get annoyed by the Uk and type of welll fare lay about supporting state we seem to love.0 -
People who are offended by the most mundane circumstances and those who feel that being offended affords them some sort of rights.You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.

i hate people who put their indicator on regardless of which lane they're in and where they want to go automatically think they have the right to force their way accross lanes, roundabouts etc :evil:0
