Here's a couple of things that get my goat...

Ear hair and garage resident spiders

It's good to be here and thank you to the providers of this site.

Right then. Get ready.

All those wimmin who park outside the village Junior school at chucking out time with their M5's, monstrous Audis, whopping Volvos, Gawd knows what else bent tin rubbish and do they load their little Darlings in from the pavement side?

Oh no. They do not.

Mirrors are clearly for fixing the hairdo and MUST NOT be used for checking to see if anything is approaching from behind before flinging open the offside door, in a rush to join the 3.35pm fashion parade.
Then what?
Having finally got a grip on Peregrine and Jocasta (both yelling blue murder because they want to go off with Tarquin and Arminta), Yummy Mummy minces out into the road on her 5" heels, just flings open the offside rear door at which point another unrestrained rug rat attempts to bolt out of the vehicle whilst Y M is struggling to load the aforementioned howling brats into it and at the same time yapping with her yuppie mates about the latest handbag or some such twaddle.

Anybody want a rather bent o/s door from some Foreign spam-can?

Hear, hear - well said that man!

We get the same thing at the local International school here but with stinking rich German Frauen (more Cayennes and X5s though)

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

I'd rather buy American if I'm honest than German. German cars just have never done it for me. Japanese yes. American yes. British yes. Italian, German and French no

Are you referring to the Yummy Mummies or the beer, Ze?

Both I suspect. I've spent some time in your Country.

staff.................just spent all day hearing, investigating and dealing with a grievance complaint from an employee who complained about a very serious gross misconduct issue. the accused person has walked away from it on a 'technicality'.

the complainant knows he's guilty, I know he is guilty, he knows he is guilty but I cannot do anything about it. He walks.............

I am so mentally knackered by the days events and feel utterly frustrated. grrrrr

I have about 200 people working for me my Mrs has about 12 I could not agree more with your sentiments it is increadible how people behave at work and what they think is reasonable, it is also massively draining dealing with "staff issues" I miss the days I used to fix trains rather than manage people, however I would probably not have a new landy (well 13months old now) if it want for taking on this hassle, I cant wait until Ive finished paying off the loan will be looking for a change then. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

That bl**dy Stella Artois Cider advert gets my goat and IMHO the stuff tastes cr*p too.

So, on behalf of 'proper' cider producers may I suggest the following amendment to the strap line.....

Ce n'est pas cidre, c'est merde

Have a grumpy day
