Just a fun thread for Christmas.

Things that make you wonder what's wrong with the world or certain things in it.

1: I have two mongrel dogs, and occasionally I look after my neighbour's dog. They are not fussy creatures, one constantly tries to eat chicken poop! But they will not eat those seafood sticks, which makes you wonder what the hell is in them.

2: I think the film Love actually is one of the worst films ever made, the people in it are narcissistic middle-class tools with the morals of alley cats. It's nothing to do with love or Christmas, it's just awful. There is one character who's only buried his young wife six weeks previously and he's already on the hunt! Don't wallow in grief I agree but six weeks!!! Yet loads of people seem to love this abomination so clearly, I'm the one out of step.

Okay one from me then - living near the Asda we use it like some would a local shop so consequently go in there most days and what really annoys me is when I see items from one part of the store that have been dumped in another part of the store, as we frequently see items of clothing still on their coat-hangers just dumped in say the grocery section or hanging from a shelf...why, because the morons that put them there can't be bothered to walk 30 seconds back to the clothing department and put them back where they came from in the first place. What is wrong with these people ????

Trying to avoid the advert for verisure alarm or any relating to aftershave or perfume which get more abstract every year.
The one thing I do enjoy is Scrooge with Alister Sims which is a classic.

Whilst not wanting to open up a whole mask or no mask debate, I often wonder if the people who wear them round their chin or under their nose ever look at the people wearing them 'properly' and think, "Is it me?"

Dog owners who quite rightly pick their dogs mess in a bag and then leave it hanging on a branch. I'm told it's done so it can be collected later so why do some forget it. Lazy bar stewards !!

Cyclist who :-
1. Ride on the pedestrian paths.
2. Ride anywhere after dark without lights on.
3. Travel at great speed around country walks expecting walkers to hear them coming and then step to one side. Walton Colliery Nature Park, Anglers Country Park and Pugneys being three lovely walks that can regularly be ruined by these lunatics.

I used to work in a supermarket and one job on a night stocking was to right those items that had taken a wander around the store , even frozen good that had stopped being frozen and therefore waste

Hate: Illegal drugs, Frank Sinatra, Leeds RL, Leeds United. Bradford (the city)
Love; Wakefield Trinity. Barnsley FC Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, The Pogues, The Clash, Richard Thompson, Faiport Convention, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, New York and almost any "good" music other than jazz and Easy listening.

True, I never noticed that but I’d probably switched off by then, unlike the alarm that probably goes off 20 times a day.

Drivers who go around roundabouts the wrong way, particularly at motorway junctions.

They do it everyday without fail in Swindon and Hemel Hempstead.

Cyclists.

That is all.

You mean road maggots?

The problem with cycling for me is simple. The majority of roads were built to allow the rapid movement of goods and people using the horseless carriage. That is their purpose. They were not built for spandex clad posers to treat as their personal play things.

I get all the arguments in favour. So pay a separate bike tax that will enable councils to build cycle path. Then stick to those path instead of riding around poorly lit, narrow and winding country lanes where they are a danger to all, themselves included.

I was ok with cyclists until the Wiggins clones appeared with all the gear but none of the talent. What is it about a certain type of man who feels the need to inflict his lifestyle onto others?

The WERR/Neil Fox Way is a particular bug bear of mine, there is a cycle path for the whole length yet many still insist on riding on the road.

Parents sitting their children in supermarket trolleys, with all the that's on the bottom of their shoes.

Well I've just started biking again after a while out of it, but this annoys me also, Asdale Road is another that caters for cyclists but is frequently not used - BUT - worse than conventional cyclist IMO is the growing number of electric scooters and bikes the latter of which have obviously been modified and I would imagine are totally illegal. I saw one on Denby Dale Road, Durkar this morning with wheels on it like a Honda Goldwing! It crossed the central reservation (a good 4" kerb) with no problem and continued on the other side towards town at I would say a good 30MPH! No lights, no helmet no right to be on the road! When are these morons going to get stopped before they kill somebody?!

Basically, as has been alluded to there are plenty of cycle lanes now but are rarely used by said cyclists.
They either use the roads or the pavements, and totally disregard the cycle lanes they desperately wanted.
Such arrogance.

Apologies to any decent cyclists, you are very few and far between!

On a Christmas theme, why do some people think that Die Hard is a Christmas film?

A couple of weeks ago I drove down Westgate and was just going round St Michael's church towards Dewsbury Road and was suddenly faced by a young lass driving towards me in an Audi

God knows.

They must have missed 60 minutes.

Haha apology accepted!

Or read about it in time magazine !

Same here, we always joke that the blokes must get paid less as they don't have speaking parts but just nod wisely.
