Tony Le Mesmer

I forgot to say ... Tony that was a very good rant. ! 
My moan for today is people with "food issues" ... We all have the odd thing we don't like or would prefer to avoid but there are literally thousands of ordinary grown up, reasonably educated people who have lists and lists of things they don't like. 
Garlic, chilli, mince, rare meat, random fruits milk, egg yolk or egg white, shell fish, cheese, onions, mushrooms. I mean fussy kids fair enough.. Things are new and strange that's fair enough but these are adult folk who have travelled the world and watch chef programmes half the time. yet they are the ones consuming all the artificial stuff made heaven knows where and containing additives so weird that no one really knows what they are. 

Sir Thomas Beecham when asked if he had ever conducted any Shostakovich ... Answer "No but I once trod in some"
and to a lady Cellist .. "Madam you have one of gods great instruments between your legs. Please can you do more than just scratch it" 

And those who walk down the street with music blaring out of their 'personal' music thingy. Plus those on public transport or in doctors waiting rooms who also have a 'personal' music thingy with all sorts of bleeps and squeaks blaring out or some rapper on about his bitches or something embarrassing like that. It's YOUR music man which means I don't wanna effin hear it too!! It's never ever decent music either, just gormless techno, inert r and b or the crucifyingly excruciatingly annoying sounds of some wannabe rapper from Worcester trying to sound like he was brought up in the Bronx! Aaaaaggggh!! Although I realise I've just condemned the whole gamut of 3 different musical genres there I make no apologies.
I can deal with a tiny tiny amount of dance music at a push but r and b and rap make me heave.
Calmed down now. Just put on some Shostakovich.
No, not that one. This one are Soviet four piece metallers.

Metaller eh? Your avatar pic brings back memories

I thought it was the guy looking at buying Burton.

******* who have their radio on at their desk in the office.
That's alright fuckface, me and those around me don't need to focus and concentrate on our work, and of course, you're too special to use your in ears aren't you.

I don't mind my dogs licking their faces, it's their old sphincter I don't like them licking. 

I'm a yorkshireman born and bred and they usually fall into two categories. Thick, obnoxious, insular, narrow minded ,arrogant tw*ts that know everything under the sun and have been there and done it already and they lack manners, basic courtesy and still think it's ok to make unsolicited sexist comments to passing women.
Or genuine, really dependable, salt of the earth blokes who are loyal, honest and although they say it how it is they don't ram it down others throats like the first category of yorkshireman. I fall between the two categories.
Saw a  rotund 40 plus bloke walking the harbour at Brid last week wearing a t shirt that said, IF IT'S NOT FROM YORKSHIRE - IT'S *****. Should have known better than to go to Brid I guess.  So glad my kid is born and raised Derbyshire tbh.

Period drama's on telly. TV execs have gone all Alan Partridge it seems. "People like them, let's make some MORE of them"
How many do you bloody need to make?! Bloke in fancy costume, meets girl, they have it off, a few people get murdered, THE END.
They are all so predictable and mundane. So much so that I've heard they are thinking of doing one set around the iPro on matchday.
Have a day off TV producers and make something else yeah?

I can live with the former as often they are great blokes to have around when the chips are down.
Best fun is to wind them up..... try this ...
Interrupt his 2 hour pub discourse on why Yorkshire is the greatest by saying - "Oh yeah, Yorkshire, the place who's job is to keep the wind off the Midlands."

Never did like the way they played football. Eboracum City .. Lower league team stuff, very negative 

Totally agree especially people on mobile phones, where you can hear both sides of the conversation . I don't want to hear about you boring life , keep it to yourself aaarrggghh

When some 'yoof' pulls up beside me at the lights with some repetitive rap ***** blaring out with lyrics about how much they devalue women and stuff accompanied by some other bloke just saying 'yeah, yeah' every 20 seconds and not content with that, they make me have to wind up my windows to avoid the unsolicited aural assault! In 25 degree heat in a car with no aircon!  
Still.....................it's worth it.

Annoys me a bit how it feels time is moving so fast. I still struggle to believe kids born in 2000 have left now left school, to me they're still under12, wtf. I remember those years on the game console constantly avoiding gamer tags with birth dates 2000 or over because they'd be annoying pre pubical children.I also can't believe it's been nearly 10 years the play off season. Seems like yesterday that Pearson got that winner

Read through lots of this thread and some of you guys are really inspirational and it's been a privilege and a revelation that you have been proud to and able to share all this. Without going into great detail (which is a first for me ) I also know what it's like to live with both physical and mental difficulties so I can empathise with a lot of you. I really wanted to comment on the quality of care I received both now and in the past. My GP, without wanting to sound harsh to the bloke, is ******* useless and whenever I get to see a locum or another GP they take me seriously and take direct action to try and address the problem. Also i'd like to praise Chesterfield Royal Hospital. From the birth of my kid to going in for eye problems and even an emergency A&E job they have always been immense and I can't fault the place or the staff.
Just read Paul71's post and just want to say hope you are well and that things improve buddy.

Cheers Duracell. I'll have to pay the place a visit for games I go to on the train. Looks really decent and friendly according to their website.

To be honest Duracell i'm more of a slow drinking obscure craft ale man served alongside some decent food in comforting surroudings rather than a chuck as much pisswater lager down your neck plus pre-frozen burger before kick off in a spit and sawdust establishment too sort of a man.
Failing that i'd be happy with a TOBY. Especially ones with a 24 hour carvery.

All excellent

Recycling bin bottle caddy insert thieves. Fourth time. Scum, sub human scum. I get home and the bottle caddy insert thingy has vanished again.

Drivers who pull up next to my car in the car park and park with just enough gap my drivers side for me to have to literally ingest myself in order to get into it. Thanks for that. Occasionally I've had to get in the passenger side and get across to the drivers seat.
