Cooker Extractor Hoods!

My head seems to be attracted to them, (keep cutting it open on the corner of the Bloody things)

MX5 owners

they actually believe it is a real sports car

It does forfil certain criteria:
small, usually two seat, two door automobile designed for spirited performance and nimble handling

driven by smugs who think it has street cred but actually is a piece of crap driven by hairdressers, I'd go as far to say the Ford Puma is better

but it's driven by some people who clearly don't give a monkey's about 'street cred' - as you say, everyone calls it a hairdresser's car

Yep it's a sh*t little car.

Even sadder though are the morons that perpetuate any PH catchphrase du jour, e.g. frozen sausages, nuking things from space, M535 (which are also sh*t) and especially, really, really especially, the perennial MX5! answer to any 'what car' thread.

[goldblum]

PH catchphrase sheep.

Read some books. Gain some life experience. Develop an identity of your own.

well I like the MX5, it's a cheap little RWD convertible, a reliable non-rusty MGB (which was also derided as a hairdresser's car in its day)

and M535s aren't st either, are you mad?

maybe you meant 335

Is the saying 'remapped 335'? Maybe I'm not up to speed on my forum idioms.

Still don't like M535s though. But then I don't like the V10 M5s either.

Don't get me started on MGs!

[TREMAiNE]

People that give me car advice when I don't ask for it.

Friend: What car do you want

Me: I'd like a 987 Boxster but my budget only allows me a 986 and I don't want a 986.

Friend: What about this one posts link of a 987

Me: It's 4k over budget and has massive mileage.

Friend You won't get a mileage one in your budget, you have to compromise.

Me: I fkING KNOW I CAN'T YOU . I HAVE JUST SAID TO YOU I CAN'T AFFORD A 987... SO WHY ARE YOU SENDING ME LINKS TO 987'S THAT ARE 40% OVER MY BUDGET. fkING . fk OFF AND DIE.

Macarons

Macaroons?

They're awesome!

I have no problem with macaroons as a foodstuff, I just can't bear it when people call them macarons and elevate them to a trendy "thing of the moment".

I will admit I prefer a coconut macaroon to a colourful shell of fancy stuff.



Ay!

I thought these were macaroons

It does what now? What do you think that 'word' actually means?

I was just watching the repeat of "Gogglebox" and the mum of Scarlett Moffett (brilliant name, bet she gets stick at school) took one look at her pizza and whined like a child because there was pineapple on it, and "I don't like pineapple".... whine, whine....

It made me realise how much I loath it when people won't eat something that's not going to kill them. Just put it on the side of the plate, you pr*t.

I work in a take-away, and about 30% of people ask for no veg, IMO because they've never eaten any, and are frightened to try. Maybe raised as kids on Pot Noodles, chips and sweets. The worst ones are those that order a curry, and then phone up later to whine "there's onions in it, I don't like onions". They didn't say this when ordering. and expect us to magically snap our fingers and the onions will disappear. Halfwit whining twunts. Why should we supply a fresh replacement meal? Is it impossible to actually just place the offending veg on the side of the plate, and eat the rest?

God, it annoys me. They're like whining kids. (BTW I realise that some people have allergies, but these people usually have the sense to tell us in advance.)

Christina Perri, why does she pronounce the word 'human' as 'humen'? Also she can't spell her own name properly.

Went to the cinema Sunday night to watch Captain America The Winter Soldier. There was a large group of teenagers there but when the movie started they quietened down so it wasn't a problem during the movie but before that one of the girls was one of 'those' girls. You all know the type. Describes herself as 'bubbly' when she really means 'loud, annoying and talks incessantly'. I honestly wanted to gag her or move seats before the movie even started. As soon as it finished she was talking away again like it had been a really difficult time to shut up for 90 minutes and she couldn't wait to get started again. UGH.

I always thought bubbly was just a nice way of saying fat.

It is. She was.

It's a lovely warm sunny spring day in my part of Norfolk. So some ahole had decided to light a bonfire. Now virtually the whole village is enshrouded in stinking hazy smoke. What a .
