What is it with the Yorkshire superiority complex?. Constantly banging on about "God's own county". It can't just have come from Geoff Boycott. 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. Alph, WhiteHorseRam and jono 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 When you paint outside steps as forecast says no rain then notice clouds on the horizon, could be shower. Spend time constructing a "rain tent" from bin bags and garden bench, securing bags with bricks to protect steps. Does not rain...bah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 People (particularly some posters on here) who say "disinterested" when they mean "uninterested ". The two don't mean the same thing. Disinterested means impartial or unbiased. Grrr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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."

Tony Le Mesmer Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 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?

Phoenix Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The National Trust's pricing system. I always thought that by Gift-aiding something, you pay's yer money and they get it plus the implied tax you've paid to get that amount. But no. Their prices are higher if you gift aid it. An example would be Non-gift-aided - £18 Gift aided - £20 What's the incentive to gift aid, or am I missing something? Chester40 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester40 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 What's even more annoying is where they say 'that's £15 with gift aid'..So you have to specifically say 'no I don't want to help charity'... This 'shame' technique winds me up.. whether it be people 'helping' to pack my shopping for money for their Uni rugby kit, or coming to your desk at work a d asking if you 'want' to sponsor them for a 3 mile flipping walk for some obscure charity...P!$$ o$$.

Pearl Ram Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Ah, Chester, a man after my own heart. I'm no skinflint, I tip well, I do give to charities that I feel a connection with but sponsoring people at work for stuff that means nothing to me, particularly when these people barely give you the time of day boils my piss. I hereby resolve to inform these people they can whistle, I'm done with stumping up to these people just so I am seen to be a decent bloke. **** 'em.

Chester40 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Oh yeah...and in a similar vein - people who come to your desk and say 'do you want to contribute to a card and flowers for ****'.... who is someone I hardly know's Mum who has got to have an ingrowing toenail removed and is at home milking it for all its worth...!!!

LesterRam Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Let's not be stupid, most charities are formed to create wealth for the creator, you pull £1m per year in wages you should be refused a charity license number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 something that has annoyed the **** out of me for as long as I can remember, it started with Radio Stations, and has extended to Music TV stations, Movies and now Music compilations. Censoring words. In my opinion, if a song has a word in that you don't want to be heard, then do not play the song. That'll learn gangsters to use the N word in their rap songs. But it then started affecting films, even the "Yippee KeyYay .." bit in Die Hard 2! But listening to a Hip Hop Compilation, which has "parental advisory" stickers all over it, faded out the N word.

Pearl Ram Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Radio 1 back in the 60's made The Kinks change a lyric in their song Lola from Coca Cola to Cherry Cola for fear of upsetting their strict advertising rules, yet didn't even know and still play to this day Apeman which includes the line "The air pollution is a effin' up my eye". Except they don't sing effin' they sing the word that would be filtered on here. Mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty, I appreciate sites need advertising but every 30 seconds or so, this redirection <div> tag to some advert which stops the clip altogether and then returns when you have the mandatory 15 second viewing is atrocious. RIP Google my little one has "safe search" on Google and the adverts are clearly not appropriate, providing loans to a 12 year old is not only immoral but illegal.
