Rant This is why we can't have nice things!

I didn't read the thread but I sincerely doubt that 23 tonnes of rubbish would have been soaked up by the extra 60 bins they installed had they been used.

Fucking morons.

That's what I thought - tbh if you earn a lot of tourist moulah you have to have the facilities - if you have bins full to overflowing dont be suprised if you end up with a lot of rubbish loose.

God forbid you are expected to take your own shit with you. You fucking moron.

They should have just spent the money on clean up staff. People do a better job than an immobile object that costs money and won't be used permanently.

Should I call you a cockbadger now?

 

[caLLous]

It's clearly the fault of the beach goers. They didn't make the slightest effort to use the bins because the rubbish was strewn all over the beach and not piled up around the bins as it would be if they had lifted a finger to clean up after themselves. Adequate bins or not, I always remember taking a bag of rubbish home with us and disposing of it there if we couldn't get rid wherever we were.

more girls have tattoo's than guys now

Fashion victims

 

[Himse]

The exception proves the rule, tattoos are generally for the meat head and fashion victims.

I wouldn't say so, nothing wrong with a good tattoo.

It's when some Nike TN hat wearing dick gets the England badge tattoo'd on his back and walks around Southend at 2pm on a Wednesday with his shirt off drinking cider. Hardly a fashion victim, just a cunt.

The issue with the beaches is the people that use the British sea sides, I'm not going to approach this in and cushy way, so; it's mostly the new 'underclass' that cannot afford to leave the country to go on holiday, and they usually have lesser standards, so litter away, whereas when I went to France every year, if you even thought about littering, a bunch of french people would be in your face frenching at you.

tbh I don't think thats the case, most people don't respect the things they have, or haven't been brought up to respect things how they should .. its always someone elses problem, and thats down to the culture of things nowadays

Well no, he'd be the meat head, the fashion victim is the trendy with one or both arms done completely, wearing skinnys with the crotch by their knees, false specs and a beany, in ten years time he'll being paying thousands to have them removed.

Its all going to the dogs. Life was a lot simpler 30 years ago. Not easier. Different.

I'd say mroe of equality victims, which is ironic regarding the background of ze tattoo.

This.

I had a chat with a Traffic Copper i know a while ago. In the past few years she said "I can count the number of people accepted the speeding ticket as their fault on one hand over the past year, every other one it was someone elses fault they were late, or had to be there earlier'"

Also people excuses for speeding ranged from "I'm late for work" to "I need to get to the shops before the sales start" or "I'm late for a party" all of which really annoyed me :/

 

[old.Tohtori]

It goes in the same range as people needing to blame something when something horrible happens, because taking blame, or accepting that sh*t happens is beyond the rational mind

Does "it's 2am, the motorway is empty and there's nothing fucking wrong with it, why don't you try catching actual criminals instead" annoy you as well?

 

[Poag]

How is that the same as the above?

Using it as an excuse as to why its not your fault? Yes that'd annoy me.
As the reason why you did it and its your fault...yep you can say that and it wont annoy me.


Its people hiding behind "Its not my fault...." that annoys me...fairly sure I made this obvious above but needs more obviousness evidently..

I was taking the piss Poag.

Like everything in life, tattoos conform to Sturgeon's Law.

 

[Job]

That just doesn't make any sense.
I prefer my own 'everything is bullshit', it's more provable.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Like everything in life, tattoos conform to Sturgeon's Law.

But does he mean that 90% of everything is crap, or that IF we apply taste into one aspect then we should apply same principle of taste to all things and as such no one thing is 100% crap, but only crap to the person judging it?

No, its very simple, 90% of everything is crap. People, places, things. Its a truism that I've come to realised works pretty accurately as a barometer of the world. And I'd definitely say 90% of tattoos are crap.

As per anywhere else you visit, the woods, countryside the beach. You carry out what you carried in or fuck off.

I can just about bear patterned bands around arms, but if you bought a nice new silver BMW and it came with a Blue Tweety Pie randomnly painted on the bonnet, not even central, just sort of stuck slightly to the left, you'd be like WTF! , but some people seem to think that'd be just great on their thigh.

 

[Yrendan]

There'd be plenty of jobs if they paid their tax in the first place

Stop reading bild.

Well, we have to disagree on the meaning then.

 

[Poag]

Re tattoos. I wasn't aware how prevalent they were until recently.

I was in the Natural history museum (Seeing the Scott Expedition exhibit, was really good go if you can this weekend!) last weekend when it was scorching, thus lots of exposed flesh. Not every other woman, but almost had some sort of tat. From small circles around wrists...to giant tiger faces on the inside of a thigh.

I kid you knot this woman had a tiger on the right thigh, in colour and covering down to the top of her knee. Nothing anywhere else, not even earrings.


Comically, my ex has decided she wants a few tattoos to show her "individuality", seems more individual to not have one these days...

 

[DaGaffer]

[Raven]

My sister thought it would be a good idea to have Winnie the pooh tattoos done in her youth, they look like Picasso designed them now, since she has had kids.
