Things you hate III

No no. Definitely a big head. The big hair is there to disguise the fact. I thought it at the time when her one and only hit 'Pearl's a singer' was on Top Of The Pops, and I think it now.

 

I shower every day but if I didn’t put any deodorant on I would smell like a Grizzly by 6pm.

 

She had 6 top 20 hits per wiki though they did all sound very much alike ! She released singles for 13 years before breaking the top 50. Big head....maybe.

 

It's anti-perspirant you need, you smelly ape.

 

Oh yes that’s the one I use. If I use deodorant everything just gets soggy I seem to remember from my spotty youth.

 

I'm sorry, but that is hilarious.

 

She used to be a decent blues belter in Vinegar Joe (with Robert Palmer)
This shows what she can do

 

Better than 'Pearl's a singer', although blues rock isn't my thing really. Still got a big head though. With a large pair of bingo wings to boot!

 

They already made a musical about this: The Producers.

 

Today is the day that the 3 penalty points I had on my driving licence expire. I had an SP50 for being clocked doing 89mph on the M40 in Jan 2015. Good news. However when I go to renew my insurance in May, all insurers ask whether I had points in the last 5 years. Well should that be a problem? They've expired, I am clean as a whistle now why should 5 years matter when these type of points expire after 4?

 

Because insurers are scum,

 

What Moog said.

What annoys me is if I'm hit from behind then it's 100% not my fault, yet for 5 years I have to put down "yes" to the question have you made any claims in the last 5 years. Why?

 

I find the whole principle of NCB an issue. On the one hand it looks like an incentive to safe driving, but its not, its a punishment for using your insurance, if you ever need it.

If you're hit in a car park and the culprit has sped off, you're incentivised to pay for the damage out of your own pocket, to avoid an increase in premiums which would end up costing you more than the work to repair.

And NCB seem to have such little bearing anyway. I've got umpteen years' NCB, but if my postcode, demographic, job description or whatever is considered high risk by their algorithm, they'll still whack my premiums up, even though I've proven over more than a decade that I don't crash often or at all.

 

I've never been at fault, (not even a 50% claim), for any accident I've been involved with in 36 years of driving. I currently have no points on my license yet I also suffer from the above.

 

That's a cool photo, presumably taken in the summer ? It's how I always pictured you....

 

Shower of Bastards is a great name for a death metal band.

Or a less good name for a premium item from the Triton range.

 

Why has "multiple" suddenly replaced "many" even though it means something slightly different?

 

He has a sort of Captain Birds Eye look about him.

 

And, how can NCB be ‘earned’ by the driver yet cannot be used by the same driver on another car they own?

I can only drive one car at a time FFS!

 

People saying 'right' after every few sentences. Is that an American thing? Bloody annoying.

 

People saying 'like' every sentence. Is that, like, an American thing? Bloody annoying.

 

People literally using literally, literally all the time. It grinds my gears.

 

People asking "do you know what I mean?" after every sentence. Always northerners. Sometimes from Burnley

 

Or Manchester

 

Manchester


edit:
Apart for A couple of decent pubs and bars I've been to and the Solita restaurant.
Actually I quite like Manchester, maybe it's the Manchunians I don't like.
Nah it's just the Galagher brothers.

 

People’s vote. The first vote was a referendum, so surely calling for a second vote should be a SECOND referendum not a f***ing people’s vote

 

No the first referendum allowed 17 million donkeys to vote.

 

And 16 million asses.

 

There is a politics section for a reason.

 

The politics section.
It's like blowing your nose and looking into the tissue afterwards. You know you shouldn't look at it, you know what's going to be there will be gross, but you still look at it never the less.

 

"It" ?
There are about 25 brexit threads alone. Don't understand why there isn't just one "The brexit thread" where all points are raised. The same points are being made on about 5 threads at any one time.

 

Dropping speed limits because a 97 year old has an accident. Just take this **** off the road.

 

Jeremy 'literally' Clarkson

 

Sounds like it was already up for discussion today. He just ensured the panel or committee or whatever couldn't do anything else but approve the speed limit drop.
