Glad I wasn't the only one wondering who was making the coffee. No doubt programmed a week in advance off an app, giving him more time to be a colossal bellend.

Meetings...calls...activities... so, no actual work then, giving him time to watch those 24 adult streams. 🙂

I suspect he has 24 screens because he has yet to grasp tabbed browsing.

"A quick kiss to my wife's sleep head" - sick fuck.  I'm guessing he buried the body.

"I procede downstairs to the kitchen, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filling my senses" - well, one sense anyway.  All this proves is despite his magnificient proclamation about getting up so early in the morning, at least one other person in his house is up before him every day to make the coffee.

I'm guessing this was posted on LinkedIn.....

Eyes open.

I feel the energy. The excitement.

The passion.

Tesco doughnuts only coming in packets of five. I want one for this morning and one for this afternoon as an occasional treat, not a diabetic coma.

Two doughnuts in a day you fat bastard!

Gambling adverts pretending they care about punters wellbeing. Token bs ‘hey get support’ whilst we put this thing your addicted to in front of you at every turn and market it as such fun.

Yep. All this "when the fun stops, stop" rather overlooks that a gambling addict can't stop.

I always enjoy the way they give this 'warning'.  It's always done in a way that leaves no doubt that they know they are only giving it because they have to and they know that no one is going to pay any attention to it.

The woman on a video call in the viagra advert, with her husband vacuuming. Don’t know why, she just annoys me.

If she can get away with "Sorry, my computer is playing up", and the person on the other end only asks "What happened there ?", it doesn't say much for her other half's staying power.

Not really a small thing but HMRC. Been doing tax returns via an accountant for 8 years or so even though I’m PAYE. The last two years I’ve been due a refund last year £800 this year £400, both years after the return was submitted HMRC have reassessed my tax and found I owed them money £80 last year, £191 this year. Anyone else had this? This year they say I owe them for 2021 even though last year they said the recalculation was for previous years.

I heard an old guy struggling to get gears outside a shop and asked him if he was alright.

He got out saying he was struggling to find first, I tried it, no problem..

We established that his seat was too far back - he'd also had an MOT and they'd moved it, he couldn't reach the pedals properly.

He'd been driving it around for ten days, only just able to reach the wheel.

ULEZ on the BBC (or any media).  It's not a bad thing, if you have a car more than 18 years old (!!!!), there is a £2k scrappage scheme, get a new fucking car/van.  It will probably cost you less as you'll get an MOT, new tyres and warranty, let alone a FAR better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

FFS.

Actually you can have an eight year old diesel, live just outside London, have to pay it and be eligible for nothing.

People who wear trainers with jackets, shirts and jeans. Not the smart leather trainers but like now some goon about 50 years old on SSN is wearing some Nike basketball boots with slim jeans a white shirt and black jacket. It's not cool sunshine.

The constant moaning from "poor me" Prince Harold about his life after Afghanistan.

Below is a post on the unofficial UK Army website from a real Army combat veteran about his time over there.

It certainly shows that Harold's moans are pathetic and Harold should be ashamed of himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Oh that whinging ginger ****. At no point was in danger during his on the ground tour of Afghan, apart from maybe getting blinded by some flash photography, the posing ****.

This sort of desperate grab for sympathy, this throwing down the next tactic to win sympathy really gets me incredibly ******* angry. At no point has this **** faced the dangers a proper soldier faced on the frontlines of Afghan. Not one ******* second of his tour saw him face any equivalent threat, the pampered little prick. What his statement does is belittle every man who gave his life for his mucker, for his section or troop, and really didn't ******* have to, but went and never came back anyway. He belittles every man who's suffered life changing injuries and have been subsequently cast aside by the military who really don't care about you once you're a perma-biff (as I saw with some very good friends who were basically left to rot in the system, minus sight or arms).

I had a particularly shitty tour, in that I seemed to be a magnet for harm to those around me. One lad got a round through his jaw to the left of me. We dragged him back and I put down suppressing with the gimpy from the shoulder whilst the section fucked off (we had the OC in with us as well) backwards, before realising I was alone, pissing my pants and sprinting the same way. OC said to me afterwards it was the bravest thing he'd ever seen. I spent the rest of the day with a faint aroma of stale pee on me.

Another lad took a ricochet in the chin and was KIA as he covered me whilst I ran past him. I went back out to him on the prone and put down suppressing before I felt something very hot skim across the base of my back, just below where the Osprey stopped. I yelled, shat my pants, leapt ten foot into the air and into the wadi to my left, where I found myself sitting, legs out in front of me, water up to my chest, and I burst into tears for about five seconds, wondering what the **** I was doing, before pulling myself together, lobbing smoke and climbing back out, getting him into cover with our medic who duly bagged himself an MC.

Yet another lad landed over my head, having been behind me, but stepped to the right onto an IED and got split in half and sent airborne, and I ran over, grabbed his hand and dragged him into cover where I had the joyous occasion of listening to him cry whilst he died there, with me and same medic trying to figure out what to do with half a body and a field dressing, and where the **** where his legs?

Or what about the lads who took the best parts of an HE grenade lobbed over a wall into the lap of one of them, KIA'ing him and ******* up the people around him? Or the lad who kicked open a door on a strike on a compound and took the IED to his face? Or even just the lad who on night patrol at a dry river, didn't see the big ******* cliff to his right and fell, having to be spine boarded out and put on a Pedro?

That little ginger prick can get on his private jet, whizz over here, jump in a cab to my place, I'll get the brews on, and once he's finished explaining to me how he's suffered the trauma of war with a full close protection team and staged events, I'll report back on how I've knocked his ******* teeth out through his japs eye. The ******* little cock gobbler.

Guy's a **** and an embarrassment.

My point being, yes, people are entitled to talk about their experiences of the conflicts they've been involved in, but by god, they'd better be genuine and heartfelt, and not just ******* make believe for public attention.

ITV's coverage of the Tour of Britain; waiting to see our daughter and grandson stood at the side of the road with a flag and a sign - the camera bike following the leading 3 riders was pointing at the other side of the road and when the main peloton went past they were showing the helicopter shot.

( Last time the race went past the same spot, a few years ago, it was during an advert break ).

 

Have they no consideration ?

Literally the only thing I tuned if for too. Had gathered all my friends around to watch.

As of this rugby World Cup I’m adding…….choirs or singers who ruin a national anthem. Last night France’s wonderful La Marseillaise was absolutely butchered by a choir leading it at the Stade de France. Earlier in St Etienne, Italy’s anthem was reduced to a screeching racket by a similar high pitched choir. Get rid of this nonsense, it just needs a brass band and the crowd.

On the subject of rugby the cliches the Tarquins and birds come out with about rugby

Rugby players don’t roll around on the floor when they get touched

look at the fans all sitting together you don’t get that at football
 

and so on

This has to be the worst example, which still sticks in my mind eight years later. Let’s take a classic rugby WC hymn and get some random bloke to rap over it. Christ knows who signed off on this and why but it was horrendous.

Cricket fans, wait until the end of the fucking over, it's only six balls.

Then you can stagger around spilling your overpriced beer and £15 chips everywhere.

Every ground should have a Fidget Section for people who can't keep fucking still.

Also, if you cannot grasp a simple universal seating system, stay at home rather than wandering around all puzzled, three disinterested kids in tow, up and down the bloody steps, round and round they all shuffle -  it's the fucking alphabet and numbers!

1) Temporary traffic lights at road works that assume all traffic is going to go through at 25mph, so that by the time cyclists or horse riders are half way through the lights at the other end have turned green and you are faced with oncoming traffic wondering why you are riding head-on at them.

2) Why is every impatient bastard car driver that feels thwarted by cyclists passing along stretches of road narrowed by parked cars or other obstructions, and consequently forces their way past at inappropriate points, less than 200 yards from their destination ?

Yeah, Packham's a big softie, fancy taking offence at death threats and petrol bomb attacks on your house while wanting to save the planet and keep shit out of our rivers, the Saints and punk rock-liking weirdo.

Attenborough too, always banging on about animals mating and the fucking ice cap, the old perv.

Yep. Struggling to see the dislike for the bloke.
