    @dogmeat I disapprove of this kind of thing and disagree completely.

    What does it say?

    I skimmed it, it seems to say "stop eating steak, stop drinking booze, stop lazing around the house watching violent TV and movies - and you might not be such a grumpy old fluffy-bunny".

    I replied... "fuck you".
    Goddamn technocrats trying to take over our spiritual AND physical health now, with their religion-of-science.

    and it's fucking bullshit because i have done all of those things and i am grumpier than ever!

    Scientific Evidence. I'd nominate you for a Nobel Prize

    So the things that help me resist being a grumpy fluffybunny - I give them up, and I am no longer a grumpy fluffybunny. Uh huh.

    I opened it but it pissed me off too much to actually read it.
    Blokes wrote it too. Fucking pussies.

    We have a thread for stupid shit that you see on the internet.

    why do people have to drive so fucking slow? especially at peak time?

    Taking 200-300m to get to the speed limit from the lights is a fucking dick move

    Driving 10-15km below the speed limit doesn't make you a safe driver, it makes you a fuckhead

    Find out where you are going before you leave, don't drive at 30kmph down the road looking for your destination

    use. your. fucking. rearview. mirror. to. see. if. you. are. being. a. fluffybunny.

    what about the way traffic automatically slows to 15kms/hr below the speed limit as soon as there is a bit of rain? Your're not cornering a hairpin in a fucking F1 car at Monaco, it's really not that hard to drive gentle curves and the straights at 60km/hr

    sending one person to do the office coffee order between 8am and 8.30am is a dick move of epic proportions. You rock in to your cafe of choice, you're 2nd in line, and the dude in front of you goes

    ok i need 1 long black, 1 flat white, 1 skinny latte, 1 cappuccino with almond milk, 1 macchiato, and 1 hot chocolate

    Extra fluffybunny points if there now needs to be a breakdown of payment.

    mother. fucker.

    Been a while since I had a decent rant about the ginger retard that is my cat (or the cat brought into my house). Stoopid shit has taken to coming in at about 4:30 in the morning and howling for no apparent reason. Why you stupid prick? We’re still in the same farking place we always are at that hour, i.e. sleeping. Tard couldn’t even catch a mouse the other day despite being in the same room as it. And then the fucker has the nerve to make noise to get let in from a door that is about 4 effing metres away from his cat flap. Oh yeah, he keeps getting stuck in the garage and shat in there yesterday. Stupid ginger cnut.

    Thats not even close to being in a crowded bar and the person in front of you ordering a bunch of cocktails. And then half way through the order having her friend tap her shoulder and ask her to get x, y, z as well.

    Ordering coffee. In a pub. At the bar. When it's busy.

    @voodoo I wish.

    Was a funny episode when we were second in the queue behind this woman ordering a round of frappe, slappecinos or some such. The bloke behind me sounding off loudly about pubs being for beer. When it came to my turn I ordered three cappuccinos just to see the look on his face.

    Swiftly changed the order to beer though to retain my man-card.

    Once behind Jason Leonard and Keith Woods at sports club (Sunday morning) when Woods ordered cappucino and espresso. Hilarious!

    @pakman Well, the blokes obviously a bit of a dick but fuck me I'm getting fed up with the frothing at the mouth we're seeing for someone expressing their pretty harmless views and quite often people losing their jobs over it. When are we going to get over ourselves eh?

    Turns out fella wrote a book called 'The Bluffer's Guide to Public Relations'. Pretty sure it was a hamless piss take.

    Have previously come across Malcolm Walker (Sir), the founder of Iceland. Little man, with serious chip on his shoulder. Would have made a good Aussie.

    @mariner4life See mate, my missus tells me I driving slower. But f*** it I just retired and moved home to godzone, so I figure I got all the time in the world. Mind you I do tend to set cruise control on 100 kph but I kind of figure there is too much to see in this country to rush. I may take off from lights a little slower than I used to, but figure I save the full revs for when I need it. I know when in Aus I tended to drive bit more over speed limit etc, but I practicing being one of thses grumpy old slow bastards and enjoying it so much. To be fair I make sure I leave cruise control on at passing lanes as I get pissed with people whi HAVE to pass car in front and then all are travelling at same speed anyway.

    Just got invited to go do some glamping on the shores of "The Wave" in Bristol. Big safari tents right next to a big wave machine, sounds bloody neat eh.

    Costs 50 squid to go in the water. For an hour.
    UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE

    Absolutely fuck that. I thought it might be 50 a day and I'd wince at that. Who only goes in the water for an hour?

    For the price of a day in the water you could fly to Bali.
