SPAM random annoying things

[Moriath]

Went to Brighton, parked in Churchill Square where I always park. Stayed maybe 30 minutes!! £4! for up to 2 hours! I think that's bad especially as they usually charge by 'time'. and I've just been to Guildford, much 'better' place and paid £2.40 for up to 2hrs. Brighton car park and shops were empty. No wonder.

I never park in churchill square its a rip as its for the shops and stuff. Can park just in towards hove on the street and walk into town. Or there is an under ground car park right on the sea front around where the west pier remains are and i park there.

There used to be a right weirdo round these parts when I was young, would always be MILF mags, none of them were MILFs.

That's what I did - cheapo greasy spoon bottle thing just like that one. I'd rather buy from a local shop, it seems a waste ordering such a stupid thing over the internet, but nay cant sells tham.

Asking for money for cats

 

[Hawkwind]

Find it odd that you basically rescue an animal but ask strangers to help with medical bills. The cat we have was a rescue, just turned up in the garage as a kitten with some pretty nasty wounds. Lucky for her she picked the right house and we could not turn our backs on her plight.

Disgusting that people would do that to any animal.

I'm not convinced by the video - it was in the basement being fed by the superintendent of the building - doesn't mean it couldn't get out and do it's stuff (shit, etc.) - in fact looking at it it didn't look trapped in there.

Cat fur on the pad it had wasn't great - but it's not 20 years of hair. And the cat was friendly - which suggests that it has been well-treated, not abused.

Cats that are abused act like humans that are abused - they're either scared or violent.

Video is cheapo begging letter for cash for a cat they couldn't afford to take in and care for properly. If they can't raise the cash then I wouldn't be surprised if it got kicked out on it's arse when it starts shitting itself and pissing and puking everywhere as it starts dying...

Because I occasionally do things with computers my family thinks I can solve any technical issue.

My niece mails me: "I bought an iPad for my kids but it doesn't work properly in my house! Help!"

I mail back, because srsly, I'm too nice : "Please define what 'doesnt work properly in my house' means and at the least I can think about what the problem might be."

Her husband than emails me: "it's an apple iPad".

I can't tell if he's being sarcastic

 

[Lakih]

Come on @TdC just fix it, you work with computers right?

 

[Syri]

I definitely feel your pain on that one @TdC

 

[dysfunction]

Same here. Half the problems are due to the fact the pc in question is a pile of shite which worked properly for 5 minutes of its miserable life.

 

[Raven]

Meh, I live next door to my mum and she freeloads my wifi, she is constantly complaining about it, despite the physics of transmitting wifi through half a metre of ironstone.

 

[old.user4556]

My sister is a right cunt about it.

"Hi, will you fix my computer?". The LOL moment was when her husband rang me and said "the family laptop has asked me for credit card details, I can't do anything, it says it's the police".

Wank time.

About 2 years ago my mother in law was complaining her desktop was slow after her neighbour helpfully updated it to windows 7 (from XP)

It was an AMD Athlon from 2002 with 256mb of ram

Bought them a new pc rather than mess around with old one (father in law was upset at lack of floppy disk for his pirated dynablaster game, introduced him to an online version)

 

[DaGaffer]

I used to get random Facebook requests from my ex-wife asking me to fix her computer years after we got divorced and we were both living in different countries. The current Mrs Gaff was unimpressed.

It was always some fucking trojan she'd picked up from some spam email. She fell for it every damn time.

 

[TdC]

As a professional commuter I have a first class travel card. I do this because I spend the equivilent of an entire working day in the train during a work week. I actually use train time to work *boggle*. I'm in a train now actually, but this one is for fun. Bottom line, I spend a lot of time in trains.

Despite the fact it's a Sunday, the 1st class is pretty full. A lot of people are moving through the train. Many of them sit in my coupe, only to suddenly jump up and leave. To a man, they all exclaim "Ooh it's first class!" and then make some comment about how they have to adjust their behaviour to not disturb the people seated and/or how frikking unjust it is that the part of the train they randomly chose to sit down in somehow was a place their ticket doesn't entitle them to sit.

Anyway, I guess my point is that people who are unaware of their surroundings piss me off. How the fuck can you not notice the big bold, 1's everywhere? The fact that the coupe's decorations, chairs and internal layout has changed to the extent that it's completely different to 2nd class? Imo someone fails to notice this because that person chooses to be oblivious. When you make life choices like that, your right to complain when a conductor comes by and tells you to GTFO, or a car comes by and hits you, or a lion comes by and eats you (bliss) is automatically revoked. When I am king I will make it so.

I'm sure she would just as unimpressed if she knew you referred to her as 'the current Mrs Gaff'

And they are getting rid of 1st class..so problem solved.

Not in the netherlands. And only on rush hour trains here

 

[Raven]

I bet the trains dont cost as much as the uk there. Its cheaper to drive. Last time I checked it cost over 4k for a year to commute to london, 45 minutes drive away.

45 mins drive in london lol. Im sure it would take you a lot longer than that to reach where your london terminus is at peak commuter time

 

[CorNokZ]

2 day festival hangovers.. How can I feel this horrible without being dead?

 

[Job]

All the turnstiles are open in Amsterdam..didn't see a single official all week, why do people buy tickets?
Is it a huge fine if you get caught?

Trains are expensive in the NL, but cheaper than driving. TBH in the NL only fools and people with really small penises drive cars voluntarily. While my work would compensate my driving, having a travel card is much more opportune.

Edit: to compare, I have an unlimited 1st class travel card. I can use all forms of public transport, 24x7. For all my complaining, it's rare in the extreme for an NL train to be really late, and they reimburse you for delays over 30 mins iirc. I pay 1800 Euros per annum and my company pays the other half.

Never go to Berlin. They don't even have turnstiles there. It would blow your mind.

Its the process and experience of train travel that sucks the life out of me...the exact same walk, looking at the clock, waitung for people to get off..finding a seat, the constant encroachment on your privacy, the derailing of your individuality.
The fact that its another part of your life you cant control, its all on the rail companies terms.
Fucking hate them.
The way everyone moves togethet as it sways over the bumps...the same scenery rolls by everyday, the squeaking brakes, the cringing politeness as you all try not to touch each other.
The cattle like walk out of the station...Im getting depressed here.

 

[old.user4556]

That's how I feel. When reading your posts.

 

[Job]

No cringing politeness from me.

You should write a novel.

I hear Mein Kampf is also very rambly and weird.

That's why first class....oh, wait, you were just applauding that being taken away for UK trains.

That aside, in a train I can do other things, like work, read or even sleep. I can get into the train after 8 after-work pints and arrive home safely. Trains are great, I'm a fan. I even recommend trains over planes if you have a decent connection and time is not an issue. Much more chilled travel experience.

One of the main NL motorways is adjacent to my commute train route. I usually idly watch the poor slobs stuck in rush-hour gridlock as the train zooms by at 140 KPH. Trains are great.
