Ha. Can relate.

That's why I fly Jetstar to Bali. You stand a much better chance of your flight home being cancelled.

But yeah, can understand the grumpiness. Where's a bit of that volcanic ash stuff when you need it?

Last year was stuck for a week with volcanic ash... I'm not sure how I coped... gotta love travel insurance and volcanic eruptions!

At what age can you get away with saying just about anything?

Up until say 6 or 7 for kids....but wat about at the Grumpy Old end?

Old mate is in his late 70's and had a 5 minit rant over the weekend meeting a bloke for the first time. Managed to be racist, sexist and homophobic in that time before I intervened with a change of story about the GV draftees.

Bloke took it in his stride...but sheesh...old mate...wtf.

It's OK if you start off by saying, "I'm not racist, but....."

...Or sexist, or homophobic...

...isn't it?

I have come to accept the fact that my TV only has one channel now and is permanently fixed on 22 ABC for Kids.

What I don't want to see is Adam *****n Goodes with Slush the Pig reading a friggin animals book on Play School in one of the most inanimate and monotone performances you'll see.

FFS Adam, you are reading to kids not a loaf of sourdough bread.

Should be booed for poor reading.

Well the cover is up the right way anyway!!

Wait a minute here. What are you doing there Adam? Where is your hand?? Why do you have that look on your face? What is behind that book??!!

Poor Slush the Pig says "What cannot be unseen".

First time the Grumpy Old thread has slipped to Page 2 that I've seen.

Shiny, Happy People obviously.

It's alright, Christmas is coming to change all that!

I see there's a Bad Santa 2 out Nate...Hopefully they've stuck with the same formula !

Change of title.

This has probably been addressed/discussed previously, but I can't be stuffed reading the earlier pages.
Was at the club yesterday buying a new media polo top and a training singlet (**** knows why because I'm a lazy bastard and getting fat as ****).
Who's the rocket surgeon that planted the coffee cart in front of the trophy cabinet? I couldn't bloody believe it!
It might be nice to have a gander at our prized silverware, but you can't get near them because there's some twat brewing up a soy latte or machiatto.
Dropped the ball Euge :stern look

That's my annual Christmas tradition. Watch Bad Santa on DVD instead of some trumped up soapie actress trying to sing carols.
My partner couldn't believe it when I first told her. This year she is suggesting that we go to see Bad Santa 2 on Christmas Eve. Bless her little cotton socks!

I'll say it again. The V8 Holdens (Supercars my arse) category of motor racing makes me sick.

Not to be sexist but I hate how Coles has 1.5 checkouts open until noon every day.

This is as boring as PC v Mac.

But don't give a shit who wins.

Righto.

This is a grumpy thread. I'm going to be grumpy unless the criteria has changed.

And a "competition" where more than 60% of entrants are under the same general name is pretty shit.

That you have to point out that you don't care but deride me for having the opinion sounds like a denial.

Wait ...didn't this start in Random thread...

Confused.

I'm just gonna finish by saying I didnt originally bring up the V8s so there is a petard at play. I got reminded of how crap the category after actively ignoring it for 6 months is so that's not my fault or problem.

Kids (& I'm talking, lucky to be 15 years old) on monkey bikes... on the road... at 9am on a Saturday morning. Another news item waiting to happen.
