Miserable old gits

    Do you have a special miserable old fart in your family or that you know? You know, the sort of old git who can always see the worst in everything and everyone, and hasn't made a positive statement about anything in years?

    My boss is off to Texas next month for a wedding and is going to fly over to see the Grand Canyon whilst there. He tell's his 82 year old uncle this the other day, to which the reply comes 'there's a deeper canyon on Mars'.

    I quite admire that special brand of curmudgeon that can come out with a sentence like that with a straight face :)

    "There's a deeper canyon between my wife's tits, too, Da, eh? wink wink!"

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    'Git'dom is a goal in my life. Being miserable will just be a bonus.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I've been voted "Miserable Old Git Numero Uno", by my family for as long as I can remember. I've also been given the honorary title of "4 for a Euro", by one of my daughters, because I never buy anything unless it's on special offer. :cool:

    I'm proud of my status, but don't harp on it too much, in case it makes me less of a miserable old git. I don't want anyone else in the family to usurp my position next time the nominations are in.

    While not in the miserable old git age group,I have to admit to a certain sense of satisfaction when I see those pimply faced cnunts with the pinheads and stupid grins who drove those pimped up motors, slowly disappearing from our roads and car parks.

    Goes to show that some good can come from everything.

    happy days.

    If they ever made special trousers with shallow pockets for people with short arms, I might be cured. Then again, I'd probably leave my money at home on purpose (in a safe buried ten feet under the ground).

    Id be inclined to agree with you but Im sure there are few you get a few laughs out of all the same. Everyone knows a Catherine Tate 'Nanna', mad as fúck, but you have to laugh.

    Then theres the aul wan in Superbad 'Good luck with fúcking Jules'.

    Then there was the mad one in Fr Ted that went off one one about racism / Greeks and gays.

    Legends.

    Ye.ye. I know they are fictional examples, but it doesnt matter, because I said so. And thats all that matters. *keys ear*

    Thanks for the welcome, but randomly posting the word "ironing" still makes no sense.
