Room 101

[Guest David]

And I've been to Wales before on holiday and not once have I heard anybody call their loved ones "pet". That's exclusively North East and Scottish dialect.

Rubbish. You've obviously not spent anywhere near enough time in Wales to know what you're talking about.

I used to have a pet. It was lovely. It used to rub the lotion on its skin just like it was supposed to.

It's dead now though.

Do you want to come to Wales to have another holiday, David?

I promise you'll like it, pet.

 

No thanks. I usually prefer Spain - I've spent several holidays in Barcelona and Madrid - but I like Corfu now. And yes, Patrick Moore's wife is indeed a nurse - although now retired. But she didn't work at the Freeman.

[Octopus of Odstock 1,861]

The ad that my lovely girlfriend features in is the one they showed last Christmas. It's the Lemsip Max All in One ad where we first see the girl in her bed -(no, it wasn't shot in our flat.) After she takes her pill, we see her drop off to sleep and at the end, she's back at work as a driving instructor, she rips the L plate off the car and smiles. So next time you're on YouTube, have a look at that ad and you'll see my lovely girlfriend. We've known each other since we were kids. She's gorgeous, funny, talented and I love her.

 

Although one is hardly surprised, you don't know your girlfriend that well, mate, do you?

 

For her crowning moment of glory, the one thing you should remember off by heart... you've got totally wrong.

 

Here, brethren, is the advert - What a load of shitbags. Lemsip is crapadoodle anyway.

 

My point here is, she is not a driving instructor in the advert. She is taking her driving test. There is a difference you know. That is all I have to say on this matter.

Is Jilly a short form of Orla then? (See OoOs link re Actor in ad)

 

And SIR Patrick Moore never married. He didn't want second best after his fiancee (yes, a nurse) was killed by a bomb.

That's why I included THAT particular link.

 

Ah.. there's nothing like good dectective work to completely disbunk a load of horseshit.

 

And this Orla seems to like swearing, shagging & certainly not hanging out in a flat with a bloke called David!

That doesn't matter. She's my girl Jilly and I'm proud of her. Actually, she has just recently passed her driving test - on her first attempt - I had three. Well done, gorgeous. I'm proud my girlfriend's on TV. That lovely girl in the Lemsip max Strength Day and Night Capsules ad is my girlfriend and I'm proud of her.

Even if she doesn't know it yet? And is not called Jill or Jilly or pet?

 

Were you by any chance in the vicinity of Gowan Avenue, Fulham on 26th April 1999? You may just well be the type.

You really can't read can you?

 

Unless you are going out with Orla (who IS the Lemsip girl) and Jilly. But you can't be as Orla is listed as "in a relationship" and his name is not David (or Scot or Angus or any other brother's name).

 

So... either Jilly is lying to you or you are just plain stupid. I know which one it is most likely to be.

 

Nowt wrong with being proud of your girlfriend but plenty wrong being proud of your girlfriend for doing something she has never done or being proud of an imaginary girlfriend.

[Windsor 2,143]

Ill people who brave out their illness to show up for meetings, lectures etc etc.

 

There was a girl in my history tutorial today, and she coughed all the way through it. What was the point in her being there? She didn't learn anything or contribute. Just coughed everywhere which was fairly annoying. I won't be too chuffed if I end up ill.

 

Also, people on buses who play their annoying ringtones and phone tunes quite loud. Inconsiderate bastards. There was a particularly loud lady this morning who played all her crappy tunes for our 'amusement'. Before that she spent about 10 minutes saying 'goodbye' to her kid on the phone - very loudly.

Its not all bad though. That same lady also got the same bus home as me. As we were leaving Aberdeen the bus braked quickly, and her shopping fell all over the floor. I thought it was funny...

[Boudicca 702]

Bus drivers who make you wake your sleeping toddler to collapse, fold and lift your pushchair onto the rack, "'cos of 'elf and safedy" when there are no disabled people on board using the wheelchair spaces.

 

Then, before you've even done that let alone found a safe place to sit they pull off sharply, pushchair narrowly missing frail OAP and toddler crashing off several metal seat edges and landing in filthy dust on floor.

 

And they have the cheek to display signs telling people not to leave their seats or talk to the driver while the bus is still moving. How is a fit single person leaving the bus more at risk than someone who boards the helltrain with a baby and bulky pushchair, who might also be heavily pregnant?

 

If Windsor took my bus route the bastards would all be sacked!

[Madame Defarge 21]

I take 2 buses to get to my job, but mercifully they are short rides. However, today bofe elf n safedy were at risk on bus ride #1, because when several of us attempted to exit through the rear doors we couldn't get out. There was an enormous green trash receptical sitting right outside, blocking the way. Noice!

Room 101 never fails to remind me of how easily absorbed people are by the common annoyances of everyday life. How can you complain about a ringtone? I think you need to stop acting like an infant and understand that not everybody uses library etiquette outside of the library.

 

Now that Magere Hein is dead, I'll give his advice to you in my own words. (I could have kicked his ass in chess) it's a good thing he isn't around... .. ..

 

Anyway, If you don't want to use a scissor: stop being my aunt's former boyfriend Bernie and spend some money on either a car or an I-Pod. I've just given you two solutions which could solve this ongoing problem.

Venturing into the public domain without a PMP is inconceivable.

The fact of the matter is that I shouldn't have to listen to their gay tunes. When I say ringtones, I mean full dance music tunes with the highpitched voices. If you want to listen to it, fair enough - THEY should buy an ipod or personal CD player complete with ear phones. Can you imagine if everybody on the bus decided to play the music on their phones at full volume?

 

As for your two solutions, I shouldn't have to take either of them. The fact is that it is just selfish to play your music out loud when you are in a confined space with other people. But then I wouldn't expect you to take that into consideration. As for me being an infant, I think that is rich coming from someone whos entire existance on this plannet seems to revolve around how popularly he is received on an internet forum, the members of which he has never met.

 

As for your comments on Magere Hein. If he is indeed dead, leave it be.

The issue at hand is how inconsiderate some people are of others when they share public transport. If they wish to be loud and self-centred, then they should use private transport, not public.

The issue is not about people being annoyed by normal social behaviour; it is about inconsiderate gits being deliberately antisocial, or just too self-absorbed and stupid that they don't know what social norms are.

If they got a fine, a boot up the arse or thrown off the bus by the bus driver then they'd learn quick smart.

[Banshees Scream 107]

The issue at hand is how inconsiderate some people are of others when they share public transport.

I agree that people who drag themselves to work and ignore the fact that they have "sick days" are an example of selfish behavior. I also agree that playing Justin Timberlink or anyone from Americon Idol inside a public environment is in a way, very uncivilized. (Or at least in my view)

 

It's crucial to keep in mind that inconsiderate people are also usually incognizant. The solution is to ignore them like they ignore you. Buy an I - pod! It's either that or listen to ringtones for the rest of your life. My last thought on this topic is that maybe Windsor is on the wrong bus. It's almost like the Twlight Zone. (It's a special needs bus! Everybody on it is partially deaf!) The final scene would be that even as he isn't aware of this, regular public transportation services are not all so bad.

OK, I think we're into double digits of Banshees' personality shifts on the DL. Good times! And Banshees, dear boy, your solution to noisy iPods on public transport is more noisy iPods on public transport? I would have thought people who are annoyed by other people's iPods are sensitive enough to other passengers not to make the problem worse.

 

I try giving the offenders a dirty look, and have on occasion asked them to spare us their musical backwash and turn their iPods down. Most look amazed that anyone would dare make such a request, but generally comply. One day I'll get stabbed over it, but at least the principle will have been upheld.

I applaud your ability to type with your toes; given the problems with them tharrr strait-jackets.

I have a very expandable sense of humor but to state the obvious, I'm not applauding. Should I feel inclined to direct irrelevant sh*t towards you from now on? From now on, following your posts, I should make a very spontaneous comment. It might be something like "Hey Berk, hows it going!" and it would only be a one liner at your level. (You know, Berk as in the rhyming slang "Berkely Hunt.") Maybe you'll also find that applaudable.

 

I'm not a stepping stone to irrelevant posts which are intended to make me look like the asshole. Let's understand that. I've adjusted my posting style mainly because it had to be done and I'm advising that when relating to me, you do the same. I'm not going to imply that you should go f**k off for another three years and then come wondering back with off-topic one liners which are completely irrelevent. However, the pathetic attempts to insult me or something have reached the limit. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it.

You have gone and done a Wurzel Gummidge and swapped f*****g heads BS.

Its like you have gone from being Robert Mugabe to Desmond Tutu.

Amazing!

[Banshees Scream 107]

Look, it's just a forum. It's a hobby of which is essential for the news junkie. I'll admit that I have been unreasonable before, haven't we all? If everything on this forum were reality, it would be a little different. Others have clearly been misled and you fall in that category. Oh, and by the way, the comment you made was in a thread which was about me.

 

I'll close this post with confessing that when reading your comments, it's as if I'm on a bus where you seem to believe that I'm deaf. The thing is, you are really sold on that belief. In a way, it's like a cultish religion. Terminator is brain washed! Terminator speaks with much irrelevance and has made some habit of telling flat-out lies. Terminator talks mad sh*t! However, it's as if Terminator believes I live in a world of silence where the volume of voice cannot reach the attention span.

 

.. Well, I can hear a pin drop in my sleep, thank you very much. Debunked!

I would like to wall up in Room 101 the clocks going back / daylight savings time.

 

I was up at 4 a.m this morning with my dawn-rising son which made for a two hour wait until CBeebies came on television. I have never in my life been so glad to see The Teletubbies.

 

Now he's knackered and miserable but it's too early for bed, unless I want to get up in the freezing dark with no T.V again tomorrow

Try keeping them up late every night the week before the Autumn time change (the time goes foward one). Gunjawoman and I have used this tatic for a few years, it seems to work with our early risers.

 

That way they're only up at five in the morning.
