    People referring to "Poop" (Dog or otherwise) when everyone knows it is "Poo"!









    Bloody Americanisation of the English language!

    PS Oh the irony. Spellcheck wants me to spell it with a "Z"...Zee?


    Are you sure? :wink:

    Oi! Don't you go getting all "Factual" with me. I saw the chance to have a bitch about the Americans and I took it!
    Facts, logic, grammar, common sense? These play no part in my thinking.




    And my moan about the spelling of "Poo" still stands. So there!

    Same here, I cut the top off crisp packets for the same reason. You can cut the sodding bag in half. I'm not reaching all that way into a bag, no way no how.
    What do you do when you get half way through the contents of the bag you've cut in half, cut it in half again? Do you spend more time cutting the bags than eating crisps?
    Have you ever eaten Pringles?

    Why should we have to cut a pack of crisps in half to reach the bottom of the bag?
    why isn't the bag filled to the top? sounds silly some may say but it really gets on my nerves.
    you pay money for a BAG of crisps, it's called a bag for a reason. it's not called half a bag is it, but that's what you get more often than not.
    the same goes for bars of chocolate that have got smaller, but the price has stayed the same or increased.

    Jeezuz.......only just found this thread......where the hell do I start ????

    Poop - Dog Poop to be precise. As a Dog owner, I carry the obligatory black bags to clean up, its perhaps the least attractive part of dog ownership I conced, but a neccessary must.
    But, what I really cant get my admittedly small brain around, is why would anyone go to the trouble of bagging their dog's deposits, and then rather than carrying that and depositing it in next available bin, they decide to throw the bag to the side of the path/bridleway, or even into the bushes/trees, - hell I've even seen one tree with about 5 hanging there like some form of trophy's.
    WTF !??? If you cant really be @rsed to carry it away and dispose of it, then leave the stuff to decompose natrally, if you REALLY must, rather than leaving it in a bag which will take countless years to decompose, if ever at all.

    *and breathe.........*

    I love you.
    However, I hate your dog because I selfishly and unfathomably group it in with all the other dogs that sh** on the pavement/playing field/park for someone to stand in.

    Thanks for bagging and correctly disposing of your dog's poop/poo by the way. Really. :D

    Semi serious question, in that it's the internet and I'm not really bothered, but...

    Why am I not allowed to say "B i t c h"? :shock:

    I thought they played that "Jerusalem" one for the Rugby?

    That is the one a lot of people say the national anthem should be and I agree.

    The KLF "It's grim up North" turned it into an even better tune. :mrgreen:

    Maybe we should adopt the theme tune from the Archers 'cos we can't sing anyway and it fits.

    I was being stalked by this buxom blonde thing that just wanted me for sex. Then I woke up, which is the annoying thing.

    Cricket, I think. Bloody good tune and you can't really get a better lyricist than Blake.

    The problem with God Save the Queen is you lot (or us lot, when it's the UK) don't sing the best verse:

    O Lord our God arise,
    Scatter her enemies,
    And make them fall:
    Confound their politics,
    Frustrate their knavish tricks,
    On Thee our hopes we fix:
    God save us all.

    No problem at all with the food, it's the packaging.
    The "tear from here" openers are at the top of the picture, but notice that the slices are stacked so that they can only taken out from the opposite end.

    Very trivial, but for me, very annoying.

    Even Jerusalem is tongue and cheek. Very clever man Blake. So that means that the Archers tune should officially be our national anthem. Then we don't have to put up with poor singing and watching sports ple... sorry people, half heartedly mouth the words to that spine rubbing God save the Queen tune.

    The Kenyan National Anthem is more melodic:

    People misunderstanding the Amazon Review system. You're looking at something and you note a one star review. "Hang on", you think. "Is this film actually sh*te. Hmm. Lets see what this here Johnny One-Star has to say."

    So you look a bit closer only to find some complete top-hat has commented "TOOK TWO WEEKS TO DELIVER AND BLURAY DOSENT WORK IN DVD. WILL NOT BUY FROM SELLER AGAIN!!!!111!!!"

    Well post a review of the seller then, you helmet.

    When you ride over a little pebble and your back wheel flicks the pebble pretty fast at a perfect 90 degree angle to the bike - usually at a parked car, or worse - one thats just overtaking, making him think you threw something at his car as he overtook.

    Dude, seriously thats the security services trying to remove you from society by leaving remote control pebbles in your way as they can't afford the spotlight of truth and enlightenment you shine on their activities or woz it Ed milliband trying to silence you. :wink:

    The pebbles aren't remote controlled... they're Teflon coated and yes planted there. :lol: Why would a pebble just flick from under your wheel, think about it, has to be a setup.
