...AND ANOTHER THING 2 E-mail
 

ImageThe first "...AND ANOTHER THING" page has spiraled out of control, so here's another page for all you grumpy old gits out there to fill up with your rants. For the uninitiated, (for you must first register), the general gist is: "...and another thing... those idiots who drive too fast / too slow / uncouth youth / Moffits / closet vigilentes / pissant political correctness / moaning / bitching..." You get the idea, but nothing personal okay. Now git on with it.

The pope is bound to be scary because he is just another in a long line of blokes who have never had their leg over (well not with a woman or a person anyway) telling the rest of the happily or unhappily married people of the world how to live their lives. In trying to work out what will make the oopposite sex happy I think most people would want to ask someone who has had some first hand experience of them. Also the popes have continued to perpetrate the myth about how the bible was put together (in terms of what gospels were chosen for publication and which ones were rejected and ordered destroted) and by whom, the denial of JCs marriage to Mary Magdeline and the resulting bloodline, and the erronious claim of Marys (JCs mum) virginity.

Don't you just hate it when you get a good old bun fight going and some-one has to come along and make it all nice and sensible again. And just a point of order how can it be personal when we dont know who any of the contributers are? or do you mean persoanl like in a slanderous sort of way towards some of the peckerheads out there who deserve a bit of grief? (yes - Ed)

I only called an end to comments on the previous ""bun fight"" so you didn't wear out your little scroll wheel fingers (that's it hold them up and show me) that page was getting on for 50 foot long, and as such would have been classed as a carriageway then I'd have to have it tarmacked...

To escape detection they are changing their skins, I saw one of their kind remove a brown ""dog"" style coat and bin it outside Scummerfields, then put on the ""wolf"" style coat! They are also on the move, two spotted in Scummerfields in Dorch! Perhaps Scummers has some sort of breeding programme going on!

where do I start; people who don't indicate at roundabouts! people who use the ""baskets only""/fast track check-out then pay by cheque! ""A"" boards outside shops blocking the pavement; ""A"" boards with stupid messages like ""Estate Agent open"", NO on a week day in daylight hours! Persian carpet rug sale signs on lamp posts! People who give you a dirty look when you are struggling getting all your alcohol onto the check-out
 

Posted by goccibos, on 23-01-2007 00:24,
good start goccibos, allow me to join in:- People who get violent after consuming alcohol. Shop assistants who look into space when asking ""can I help you?"". Shops that open on bank holidays. Landlords and bar people in public houses who don’t appear to actually like the public. People who believe that the bible and in particular the new testament is actually true. Town criers (What is the point if I want to hear some-one shouting incoherent inanities I will just hang around outside the Oak and west one at about 2am) People who play the music in their cars loud enough for people in the street to hear, no doubt in the hopeless belief that others share their appalling taste. People who compile lists of the things that get on their nerves.

Those Police Community Support Officers look very efficient to me. As to whether they are 'real police', I think you will find that Britain has a two tier policing system now, with one half concentrating on communnity issues and the other half being a para-military reactionary force who go around arresting government ministers :) Anyway, it is quite obvious what is needed along Dorset's coastline, 'preventative measures' (AKA a well place sniper in the sand dunes). One good man could keep the beaches clear using fear tactics alone. The low number of victims required to create the required climate of fear and thereby keep all looters at bay would be minimal, say 50 or 60. The whole thing could be televised to stop people coming down here from the north. We could call it 'Beach Olympics', events could include the 100 yard dash off the beach, The relay race (for those who can't find the way of the beach and just end up running backwards and forwards in a blind panic), and not to forget the swimming events for those poor targets that feel it would be safer in the water. Points could be awarded to the sniper (Ahemmm, ... that would be me that would) for markmanship, e.g 5 points for a maiming, 25 points for a wounding above the waistline, and 50 points for a clean kill. Of course I would have to do 'beach cleaning' on alternative days as I still have my sniper duties in good old Bridders Town. Wouldn't want to let those market trader white vans pile up at the traffic lights which obscure the view of the lights to oncoming motorists therby causing a serious danger to other road users and pedestrians.

Not wanting to obstain from the tirade... - People who move to the country and complain about the state of the country lanes and donkey's pooing in the street. - People who give the market traders a hard time...Come on!... It's a MAR-KET. This means STALLS, VANS, AND NOISY SALESPEOPLE, which is still better than smack-head zombies at Morrisons. - People who urinate in shop doorways...they should at least have the common decency to run up to mountfields and strain the weasel up there. - People who stop you in the supermarket for a chat when you really don't have the time, or care what they have to say...and the same people who then badly hide their suprise when they spy the contents of you basket being nothing but beer, vodka and bags of Pistachios. - People who blame Bridport for their alcoholism and lack of self belief. - People who live on busy roads and complain about the traffic. - People who drive brand new 4x4s that would rather risk a head on collision than drive through a puddle. - People who live by the sea and don't appreciate it. - Cliques. - People who are over-enthusatic to the point of nausea, who rather than rally support for an idea, actually put people off it. - Weird prozac people who have lost all cynicism, and the ability to question. - People who are so up their own arses that they can't see any other opinion but their own.

I notice that the 'owners of the flotsam and jetsom washed up on the south coast have gone out of their way to insist that people should declare their booty as to use their words 'the items still belong to the owners, and to keep them is theft'. Strange they don't seem to care about all that oil they are losing, in fact they don't care what happens to it at all or what damage it does. You don't see the so called 'owners' of the oil making a big noise about collecting it all from the beach and offering compensation to all the seagull and fish orphans created by their property AKA oil!

Gooseberries; nasty little green hairy things. Seedless Grapes: that’s which-craft, where do they come from, how do they reproduce? Genetically modified crops (including skunk ‘cos that’s what it is psychosis sufferers) People who believe in any sort of religion and then get the hump when you start to question them about it or start picking holes in the doctrine they blindly follow. People not from round these parts who come and steal the booty that the sea has delivered unto us. TV soaps and any-one who watches them or has the temerity to talk to me about them when I am imbibing in a draught of ale thinking that I might care about their hollow dung filled lives. Books. Films. Fun of any sort.

NEW LABOURISM (Alt): You have two cows. The government introduces a tax incentive to encourage conversion to sheep farming. You sell your two cows and buy four sheep. Next year the government says “look at how many new sheep farms have been created under our stewardship”. Next year the government says “you only bought the sheep for the tax break”, and so they introduce a sheep tax and take away one of your sheep. Next year the government brings in a team of management consultants to see if you are farming your sheep efficiently, a team of statisticians to analyse the results, a media consultant to present the results to you and a sheep regulator to fine you if you don’t follow their recommendations. You have to sell a sheep to meet the extra costs and the consultants get a knighthood for their contribution to farming. Next year the government votes itself a pay increase and a better pension and reduces local government funding to pay for it. Your local government then has to introduce a local sheep tax and takes away one of your sheep. Next year the government says “there is a severe shortage of cows in the UK”. They introduce a Private Finance Initiative that gives you the use of two cows. Under the private finance initiative you will be paying interest on the cows for the rest of your life. Next year the government says “when we came to power you only had two cows, now you have two cows and a sheep” – you look into your field and try to work out why you feel poorer. When you die you leave your “herd” to your children. As you kept the field gate closed to stop the herd drifting away, the government take away one of your sheep in tax.

Why do they always have Buy one get one free offers on gallon jars of Picked onions or other items which people only use occasionally.Another thing, the cunning sods always have special offers on certain flavours or varieties of products like crisps, sauces or drinks and then intermingle them with varieties which are not on offer. They also pile extremely similar items close by, so as to fool you into buying a full price product; "" 500g jar of ""cooking sauce for roadkill"" which is on special offer ,is put next to 600g jar of the same product which is at full price. Why, when something is on "" Buy one get one free"" offer, do you always find a solitary pack or jar left on the shelf.

What a load of old twaddle. The how it works bit is not any government proposal but something dreamed up by the BBC as in "" The data was processed according to a road charging model drawn up by transport expert Professor Stephen Glaister of Imperial College, London."" So why not have a bit of scaremongering to wind up the terminally stupid ? Much as when the minimum wage was suggested. Millions would be thrown out of jobs and the economy would collapse. The same baseless whinging was around when the selt belt law was proposed as was when the breathalyser was brought in. Thankfully those charged with the task of sorting out transport in the next couple of decades appear to be putting a bit more thought into what they are doing than was has gone into regugitating this urban myth. And before you bleat out I've no more idea what they come up will work but I will at least wait and see what they are actually proposing rather than wet my knickers over what some second year media student on work experience has cobbled up for the BBC. Remember how there was going to be no gas last winter and we were all going to die of bird flu. "" ere, you from Bridport I've got this moon in a bucket of water, wanna buy it ? ""

I was thouroughly dismayed when building works began on what was once pleasent tranquil fields out of town. Now we have some disgusting ' Disney Castles ' as one passenger said of them on our ways to Dorchester itself, well, thats what they look like, Disney castles. I would have preferred if Bonny Prince Charlie did not come hear to plan a misguided architectural nightmare for us to look at, nevermind the expence, but now it's too late and, we'r stuck with it, and more buildings are springing up gobbling whatever land is left, and we've been had and overulled by this monstrosity making us feel powerless to stop it.
 

Posted by Carlito, on 15-02-2007 06:14,
What you are all failing to realise is that any successful town intrinsically has the need to expand in order to accommodate its emergent populace. Keynes, the eminent economist who reached the pinnacle of his accomplishment in the early seventies, pointed out that the immobility of labour is a key aspect of staggering economic growth within a potentially viable community. Therefore, any viable and emergent community has the need to offer long-term incentives to attract the absent operatives into the labour market. The fact that the style of architecture is crap is neither here nor there. What do you expect from a bloke who’s best friends are house plants and has a wife who looks like a bloke?
 

Posted by Carlito, on 15-02-2007 08:41,
Chesilbank if we were separated at birth then that explains the huge unsightly scar down my left side! Re. smoking, there are two kinds of people in this world. People who smoke, and people who complain about it. When the ban comes in to play, indoor areas at bars will become the moral high-ground, dotted with lonely non-smoker/sensible drinker-types; whereas the newly built, plush, outdoor heated, interestingly decorated, custom-made ""smoking gardens"" will be a hive of social activity. Non-smokers will find themselves peerless and have to engage in boring non-smoker conversations about bio-desiel and reusable nappies. July 1st isn't the start of ""the ban"", it's the start of a huge social divide. Let battle commence!!!

Carlito i must have made a mistake, we can't have been seperated at birth as you say the scar is on your left side, i, as usual, am on the right side. I look forward to the start of the smoking ban when you and you stinking friends can sit outside the pub in your little room coughing your guts up and slowly killing yourselves. I am a little confused in your answer to Skelliton when you say, and i quote,your just afraid of fresh air, get out there, fill those lungs! i'm more than happy to fill my lungs with fresh air, not the crap you smokers breath out, you've had it your way too long, it's time for a change, BRING ON THE BAN.

Its now slowly coming to everyones attention that becoming a politicion is all about how quick you can get into a position of power, and then fleece the tax payer of all that is due to them whilst not letting them know what your doing. A little bit of tax here,take a little away there and then retire to a cushty job in Brussels before anyone knows !! There's more crooks in the commons than in our jails today.

Yes, I agree. Horse-bloke is a fair description. Having seen the item on breakfast tv about school cooks meeting said HRH up in that London or some such exotic location I was willing a cheeky chef to take on the cause ""Now then Chaz, what you playing at with this Poundbury lark then"", but no such luck. I saw the pointy tower thing in progress as I drove by, Looks like it's going to be a supermarket, or a pigeon loft maybe. Possible a refuge for abused fruit and house plants or a new home for the sea gulls of Bridport who are in shock from the beauty (ha) of the development at West Bay. On the subject of horses I would have to say not a favourite pony club type horse. More a good solid farm horse???.

Carlito, if you,as a non smoker, want to be a smoker sympathiser, then be prepared to be tarred with the same brush, that includes your lungs ! sorry if the spelling is a little off but i'm not a sensible drinker, cheers. I'm sure that nicotine softens the brain, chief, and also makes the user extremely SELFISH, keep your smoke to yourself, we don't want it. hic hic.
 

Posted by The Bat, on 16-02-2007 23:05,
Yellow nicotine coloured hats sounds good. Maybe bearing the slogan 'I smoke therefore I die horribly of a degenerative lung disease and leave behind a widow and maybe a few children who won’t have a father or mother and as a result will grow up all bitter and socially isolated which may very well make me turn to drugs and shoplift a lot’ Sounds like a catchy slogan to me!

We are all assumed to be ""grumpy ol' gits"", which means we all should have been educated in the good old fashioned values of manners, spelling grammar and all those essential qualities to carry us successsfully through life!(thats something along the lines of what i was told at school at least). Words such asbuses, through,aisles, vehicles,incessantly,vivnity,c ursory, here,halitosis and some terrible grammatical errors in a recent communication on this page prompted thei response from me, so sorry and hello skelliton haha9or is that skellington?

Ah Tuzo, you have missed my point about the pope and his fear filled, guilt ridden, dare not question, bunch of followers, I meant to take a wider swipe and say ""does anyone believe in this god nonsense anymore"" but something or someone (ooo how spooky) must have guided my hand. I saw a bunch of fish off west bay the other day swimming up and down and then jumping and then going round in circles but apparently cod does move in mysterious ways So back to the point in question ""and another thing"", any one who is daft enough to base their entire belief system on a book that was written and heavily edited centuries after any events portrayed in it and that was translated from ancient Greek and Hebrew with all the errors that were bound to occur.

You did miss my point tuzo, I am no more anti catholic than I am anti any particular organised religion that operates under the threat that unless I am part of it then I am doomed to some hideous eternal non-death with fires and demons and all sorts of other fairy tale rubbish. I don't have a problem with the ethos that most religions base themselves on ie love and peace, but considering worldwide the number of people who supposedly ""believe"" in these love and caring orientated religions, I would have to say that the world is a in a bit of a crappy state. And another point, spending eternity with a bunch of christians doesn't sound like heaven to me.
 

Posted by Carlito, on 25-04-2007 13:48,
I can imagine spending eternity surrounded by Christians would be like spending eternity in rehab. Considering the majority of followers of the Christian faith (in this country anyway) have had some kind of crisis/breakdown/emotional battering which broke down their self-belief and self-esteem so low that they turn to bizarre fiction for ""hope"", I would assume that heaven would be full of self-help clinics, non-alcohlic bars, censored pornography (or atleast porn that is only shown when the participants are pro-creating), coffee mornings and free spray-on urine&lavender scent. A place where teenage rebellion is to sing Kumbayja-Me-Lord slightly out of tune, or with a bit of a ""swing"" to the rythmn. A place where nobody has even the slightest incling to not conform to the norm, to not be adverse to any opinion or act. To love unconditionally all of humanity and forgive all... perpetually turning the other cheek. A place where it is impossible to do anything that may directly or indirectory have a negative effect on anyone else. How INHIBITING! How FRUSTRATING! That WOULD be torture! I know this is a HUGE cliche, but it rings true! ""Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.""

Posted by Bentley, on 25-04-2007 20:04,
You have got it right there carlito, the most unsatisfying thing about trying to open up heated debate with people of christian beliefs is that no matter how accurate and even hurtful and offensive your points are, under their own rules they have to forgive you! unlike other religions who would be out in the street burning effigies of you, calling on all their brothers sisters aren't aloud to have any say) to kill you on sight, while at the same time declaring themselves to be open, tolerant, caring and loving. Being an athiest would be more fun if it wasn't so bloody easy.
 

Posted by Carlito, on 26-04-2007 11:33,
Tuzo I don't think Rustic could give a Castle-Maine XXXX as to whether you think he's anti-catholic or not. Besides he's already said he's anti-organised religion, which I believe Catholicism falls under, does it not? Guilt is fine if the outcome of your guilt has some effect on the original cause of the guilt. Example: You have two cows, you tell one cow that the other cow has bigger udders and laugh in her face about it. The cow becomes depressed. You feel GUILT. You then buy the cow a nice bunch of cowslips wrapped up in a yellow bow. The cow feels much better and all is good. Guilt was the trigger in the above example for an act that reversed the cause of the guilt. Christians are walking the earth GUILTY because a man called Jesus apparently died on the cross (or...""gave his life"")so that the sins of humanity would be forgiven. Christians therefore for feel eternally indebted to Jesus for this act and are guilty that ""the son of God"" had to die because of their sins. I have literally seen Christians weeping with guilt. Weeping with meakness, and we-are-not-worthy-ness. It is a VERY SAD state to be in. The point is, no amount of GUILT in this case will have any effect on the cause. Mainly because the cause is based on FICTION, and if not FICTION but at least something partially-notable that happened thousands of years ago and was entirely mis-construde, and has no bearing on you personally, and therefore in this instance the Guilt is a wasted emotion, it is self-destroying and you need to GET OVER IT. LIVE LIFE TUZO! Indulgence instead of abstinence! Wisdom instead of dillusional theories! Take responsibility for your life, every day, every hour, every minute. Remember - it's YOU. You are IT. The buck stops with YOU. And remember, many of the ""sins"" lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification! ""LUKE...."" - ""LOOK AT YOUR PITIFUL REBEL ALLIANCE""...""REACH OUT STRIKE ME DOWN..."" ...""YOU WILL COME TO THE DARK SIDE""... So...how did he get away with murdering his own father anyhow? NURSE!

As a personal friend of Leslie Walters, I can confirm rumour number 1.

hey, anyone see the pope on the news last night? Bobbing along in his little 'popemobile' and then he's dodging bullets, brilliant! ...(wonder where his 3ft bulletproof plexiglass bubble was) It was all Bill Hicks and JFK and, hey, wait a minute, is theBat still on holiday?? mmmmm

I don't believe in all this pope business. I mean, when the last pope got shot, did they cart him off to Lourde's to be instantly cured?? NOooooooo, it was the best surgeons money could buy wasn't it? And why does he drive around in that little pope buggy thingy when he could just levitate across the crowds waving??

Denzlepop If you read the 'HERO OR PSYCHO?' thread you will read that I have been ousted from the clocktower (temporarily I hope as I left the iron on.

Don't be so small minded Dragon. Most travelling families have more morals and standards than the rest of us, and are a very proud and stigmatised part of society. I welcome them.

Sorry to hear Ms Foote has had bad luck with her husband but the lady did her self no favours by saying that a four bed house wud be no where near big enough.Afraid that if you are up the creek without a paddle you take anything u can get.Three beds wud be plenty even if you have to have a bed settee in sitting room.The only time you can choose the size of house is if you have the dosh to buy.Have been in same position so can empathise.

I declare I find myself agreeing with you again Carlito. However you missed out the ""man saves monkey"" and ""man jumps off cliff"". And I look forward to the traditional headlines in Sept of; ""best ever carnival"" (not) ""West Bay traders takings down"" (lie - can only afford 3 weeks in Australia instead of usual 4) ""traffic chaos, Lib Dems call for car parking at Askers Meadow"" (why not walk) ""park and ride a success say Lib Dems"" (thought there was traffic chaos) ""Make Askers Meadow a Nature Reserve call Lib dems"" (thought you wanted car parks) ""Conservative Cllrs do the most for the town, they are just great"" (policy statement of View from Bridport freebee) any more....

Why, when we all put our glass botles out for recycling, does the concil not provide facilities for the bars in town to put all their bottles out for recycling? They just get thrown in the normal bins and put in landfills.

Residents of West Bay Road that are too bone idle to get up in the morning to put their rubbish out, they put it out the night before and whinge when its strewn everywhere the next morning.
 

Posted by tuzo, on 30-11-2007 12:54,
so you get up at seven to put out your rubbish astra? i would rather be in the arms of Morpheus.

I agree with mrplanet, although some places are so caring they actually pay extra for their bottles to be recycled by some company (presumably not the council). As for no wheely bins - all the residential complexes etc (and there's more than a few of them around here) have no option but to lump all the rubbish into landfill because THEY say that THEY can't accommodate the things. Aren't the bin lorries rented/hired?

The worst offender for not recycling is West Dorset District Council. If they EVER bring in fines for not recycling properly I will be out with my camera and protesting all over the shop! They would do well to adhere to the old bible quote 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'but the motto for DCC seems to be more like 'don't do as I do,do as I say!'

What's the point with all this talk about re-cycling. It is just the same old stuff going round and round, which I suppose is the point.

Am I the last to see this - my missus certainly spotted it afore me. Dr Colin Dawes seems to have a good thing going: 7 quid for a fossil hunt and if you don't find one he will give you one !! It's there in black and white. Ooooh Matron !!

Right. I have a mystery. I would ask Dr. Malicious for his advice but this is actually a real problem and not something I made up for a riproaring response from Dr M.  
 
Some arse is snipping small holes into my chicken run.  
 
They've been escaping for a while now, and I couldn't see how! Then I noticed a small hole in the run. It is a large wire fence rather than classic chicken wire, so it only takes about 4 snips to create a hole big enough. I patched this one up...and a week later ANOTHER hole has appeared. 
 
Unless my chickens have plyers for beaks, then something destinctly fishy is afoot.  
 
I wouldn't have thought it's a neighbour, as that would be a very SILLY thing to do. There are no animal welfare people around where I live as they all have those F**K WESTMINSTER bumper stickers...and besides, they have a 8X12 Foot run which is plenty for 4 small hens and a cock. 
 
So what could be the motivation? Who is it? Is there a pattern to them doing it? DO my chickens have wire-cutting beaks??? Shall I phone the guinness book of records? 
 
Thanks in advance for your help...A very mystified Carlito... 
 
P.S. - A dozen eggs to anyone who catches the swine!
