UNBELIVEABLE !!!

 

Rooney asking me to donate £5 to sick children

He earns more in a week than I can earn in 10years

Effing cheek !!!

Recording the Scotland v England game. Watching it on catchup, and then the recording ending on 70 minutes.

I never get why people get outraged at celebs supporting charities.   They're famous.. their fans will watch them... they may be moved to support the charity.    Nobody says that they're not donating a stack of their own money, but still people whinge.. and assume.   Now, if he was asking for a fiver for himself - that would be cheeky.

.. and I don't even like Rooney

 

 

I am still (and getting more) irritated by the sheer number of people who are walking at pace engrossed in their mobile device screen and headphones in.

 

I still refuse to step out of their path - most do apologise.

 

 

If I was a multi millionaire, living a life few could even dream of, earning more in a week than most can manage in 10yrs and when the credit crunch has caused untold suffering ... I wouldn't have the nerve to ask anyone to "give what they can".

Its utterly shameless

As I say.. if they were asking for themselves I'd agree.  So... you think it'd be best if nobody promoted the charity?    Or some anonymous person that nobody would bother listening to/watching did - so the charity would get much less money.  I think that's shameful.

The best advert for a charity is the person in need

I don't think you can have too much publicity.     People will watch things like Children in Need, Comic Relief etc - where they might not tune in to purposely watch those horrendous images.    I don't think it helps anyone to vilify the people using their fame to try to help.

 

 

I don;t doubt there's a value

I just wouldn;t have the nerve to ask those with so little already to "give what you can" and then to be whisked off in a limo to my Chelsea mansion block

 

Lazy students who think it is fine to leave tied plastic bags of refuse on the footpath, which eventually split and the contents disperse all over the street. They do it week in week out, I am tempted to post the bag contents back through their letter boxes in the early hours of the morning.

 

 

Work college who has run up an £18,000 student debt and doesn't have to repay a penny unless he gets a job earning over £21,000 ... and has no intention of paying it back

 

I have just seen an advert on TV where French people are describing someone, talking about them in a way that makes you think they are a superman, unique or a rare treasure.

 

It turns out to be Jonny Wilkinson.

 

Ironically the advert is actually for Guinness, an alcoholic drink which is the antithesis of Jonny Wilkinson.

 

Unlike the association Guinness want me to draw, I always associate Guinness with drunkenness, bad skin, alcoholism and sclerosis of the liver.

 

 

Old peeps used to drink Guinness for their health [for iron I think?]. Sometimes prescribed by the doctor! 

Yes, stout's I seem to recall were often used 'medicinally' 

Mackeson

Looks good, tastes good, and by golly it'll do yer good!

 

When I worked in the local hospital they actually dished out stout to the patients. Although it wasn't one of the famous ones. It was "Fed!" Only people born within the sound of Walkaz hoo'ah, will know the brewery to which I refer.

One is starting to feel zero tolerance (sic) of American Hegemony. Mrs Jer was so incensed by R2 fawning to Thanksgiving that she demanded of me how she could complain, but restricted herself to shouting vile abuse at Chris Evans. Black Friday? Facebook coverage of Riots in Missouri? Cosby? Not interested.

I'm now informed that she did complain, mentioning also school proms and Halloween!

Child beauty pageants - terrible things

 

 

I am getting super hacked-off with the use of the words 'High Definition' or 'HD' used and attributed to products where it seems inappropriate or tenuous at best, but more than likely just marketing tosh.

 

The latest is calling the abilities of the latest oven high definition in a TV advert.

 

HD eyebrows!! 

 

 

Yes, that's another excellent example. But to be fair, you can see those from space

We had a rash of people and prams falling off railway platforms

Then we had foxes going into people's houses and terrorising them

 

 . . . and back to prams rolling off railway platforms again, just yesterday on Yahoo

Manscara - ridiculous

 

 . . .and when women put lipstick over the edge of their lips to make them look bigger. Awful

The Christmas Radio Times and TV Times falling apart every year  Its always a state by January  

It's in the window but when you go in the shop . . . .

 

 

There are far too many programmes and adverts pronouncing the item they are flogging or the expert on the programme declares that:

 

"This is the perfect Christmas gift"!

 

They can't all be "the perfect" gift. Pfft!

 

 

That's cos it's a 'Christmas' magazine 

Saint comment reminds me of an humorous story.

This gadjie goes into a Cowgate Only pet shop and sez.
Can ah buy a coupla wasps please?
We don't sell wasps sir.
Well yer hev a couple uv 'em in the winda man.

HaHa! geddit?

*Groans* 

 

 

Hyperbole.

 

Shanter !!

Bus lanes

Seriously ridiculous

 

Would that be Tam O' Shanter?

 

 

Nope - what you just said

Pure shanter LOL

And what on earth is an "Ambient Drop" on Tipping Point??

 

That is when a disc falls before the play switches over to the next contestant. Occurs when you think the play for that disc is over.

EC you're such a sausage

 

I know what it means in the game ... but why is it 'ambient'?

Doesn't seem to make sense
