Gale force wind whipping a piece of the wing mirror off Mrs RFR's car parked at the back of the house. Don't know how that is even possible..

The Rant thread has become a mere shadow of its once mighty self. Like Sonia in her final years or Keane at Celtic, it makes one sad to witness its now impotent limpness. It has become a parody of itself. Please moderators, I implore thee, give it a clean death.

I'll do my best to get us going again, here's the list of things that annoyed me this week:

The wind
Paperwork
Cold houses
Fucking Christmas advertisements
People who won't drive at the speed limit
People who drive Peugeot's, there are usually ancient and have a fondness for 3rd gear
Christmas shopping
Car tax
Estate Agents
Unreasonable deadlines
Visiting the OH's family
Charities
The priest in the college where I work sending me 4 emails a day about Christmas mass, I don't go to Mass any other time of the year, Xmas is no different
Music in Dflat major
Newstalk's new "moved the dial recently" advertisement
ATM's that don't work
People who do 12 pubs of Christmas

I'm sure there's more but that's enough for now (before I get sent for anger management therapy).

Guitar players who rant about D flat major who don't bother picking up the cappog that's sitting on the table in front of them.

Ha, that wasn't aimed at you! Everything I played last night was in G! :pac: No I had to accompany exams during the week on piano and all the sheet music was in Dflat!

ultrapercy · 14-12-2013 01:30PM

All christmas music (except Stop the Cavalry by Jonna Luey) most especially Driving Home For Christmas by Chris (Dia) Rea.

Have to agree with ya on this one. What a load of sh*tehawking. Seems to have come into fashion in the last few years. I enjoy a pint as much as anyone but this is way ott. Talk about confirming our status as a country with serious issues with the gargle! Town was full of gimps all week falling around the place, puking and pissing in doorways. Girls wearing shorts that were tattooed to their backsides (Jesus Christ I was having seizures thinking about when my wee one is at the going out age!) and them wobbling all over the place like new born foals with no-one looking out for them. Where were the big wigs of the vintner's association and the Diageo group who promote responsible drinking??There was massive discussions about Arthurs day but this 12 pubs is definitely messier. Would love to know were many of these groups of lemmings refused drink at any establishments for their own good
or was the chance to make a few rare euro too much of a temptation for the landlords? Judging from what was seen around town it was the latter.

The twelve pubs of Christmas and Arthurs Day are both like the Third Round of the FA Cup: a big day out for the part timers.

The Swiss, I hate the fcuking bastards. Not because of Nazi gold although that would be a valid reason.

No back a few years ago when Ireland where trying to qualify for a major competition the Swiss were in our group and their footballers and fans use to piss me off. Awful shower of dickheads. This was confirmed in 2005 when I started a new job and ended up working beside the biggest $hitebag on the planet who was, you guessed it, Swiss. Then a friend of mine started going out with a Swiss guy who, wait for it, was a knob. Then a couple of years ago I was at a concert in the states. On the way out I was walking behind a group of Swiss lads (I know this as they were wearing t-shirts telling everybody). I was taking the mick out of them behind their back and in unison, the fcukers exhaled the cigarettes they were smoking and engulfed me in a cloud of cigarette smoke that nearly killed me. **** the lot of them!

Rant: 6 of our 12 inter-club meets being at a track completely exposed to winds, and getting completely robbed of a PB on Saturday!!

How do you tell the difference between a sprinter and a distance runner?

This is a quality rant. Irrational, illogical, a little bit racist but also true.Its the kind of thing that could save this thread.

Ha, the amount of whinging I heard from distance runners at the weekend completely nullifies that point. "We had to run into that wind 4 times".

The obvious sexualisation of female characters in childrens cartoons, there's something really wrong with that. No doubt those crafty marketing types are behind it - bastards, the lot of them....

I was stunned to come across 'fan' art of My Little Pony in which odd balls either draw themselves in strange poses with My Little Pony characters, completely sexualise them, or imagine themselves as My Little Ponies. Then I remembered there's a My Little Pony board on this site, I dare not enter.

Yea, one of my bro's in the states made a small stand against that, and would not allow anyone give toys from said char's to his kids as presents, nor allow TV/DVD/Games from said shows in the house...

Needless to say, said items were ALL his daughter wanted and he was not a popular man for a couple of years - but he is right IMHO
