The CTF forum, trying so hard to be an alternative place to PH but not seeing the irony in replicating popular threads here; Roger Moore joke thread, Massive Wants etc.

Made worse by the obvious fact that most of the members still post on PH under various usernames and rush back to CTF to report anything they think suitable of ridicule.

Worst of all (in my opinion) is the weird anti-emoticon stance. Perhaps someone vocal on CTF declared them unacceptable so the go-to alternative now, should you find something amusing, is to end your post with : laugh : or similar.

Off the scale cringeworthy.

Yep, and tts who call their fking cars a 'tang or a 'rocco or some other shortened name for a fking dull ste piece of crap who no-one gives a fk about, but hey, they need to feel special, 'cos they drive a fking dull piece of ste. They all wear jeans from Asda, and have 2 PCs in their bedroom, and even at 35, still live at 'home' with mother.

They think cruising round Harlow is the end of days.

Only kidding

I'm 44 and live at home, where the the hell else would I live?

Though probably that's one for the 'Things that annoy you beyond reason' thread rather than the Cringe thread. :-D

And a vegetable "patch".

And chickens.

The dick replying that his diesel Jaguar XF is his" latest motorway whip" is just as cringeworthy.

What a fking naff, cringeworthy load of cack name to have on your clothes!

Just like ...

And "Keep calm and <random thing>". What a load of poop.

True but this made me smile when I saw someone wearing it in Edinburgh last year:



I don't know how many people would get it.

What's wrong with growing vegetables and having chickens?!

Vegetables? Nothing at all.

Chickens? Depends really. Out in the countryside, again, nothing. But in a tiny suburban garden bordered by six other gardens, 50 feet from my patio doors? Nothing a decent air rifle won't sort out...

Nothing. It's just that about three out of four couples on Escape To The Country say this.

I've done both myself. The vegetables got eaten by everything from caterpillars to cows, but was interesting. As for chickens - brilliant. Hilarious creatures. Great characters, too, to the extent that mass production of chickens has bothered me ever since.

Nothing. It's just that about three out of four couples on Escape To The Country say this. And they always say "patch". Where does that come from?
