You know what really grinds my gears....

[Mr Phlanj]

i dont think smoking helps with my spitting habbit :D

[stin]

You know what really pisses me off? I just had a shittiest week, went home, my wife just told me, at the back of my house where the water mains from underground and it`s burst, water coming out and guess what?, I will be fixing that F****** pipes sorted and had to tell my neighbours to let them know they won`t be using water tomorrow morning for a few hours.

Why, I`m the only neighbour who can do the job and it`s saves money!

Even worse, I`m desperate for a drink! but I`m not, I am really determined to stay sober till March coming for the opening day and I will get rat arsed!, because, I`m on a diet and it`s going well.

stevie:frown:

[Medusa]

Ah, that stinks stevie. :frown: Just stay warm while you're out there fixing it, and stick with your diet! Health FTW :) I hope your neighbours at least cook you a meal for your trouble. To fit your diet of course ;)

[SaturnReturn]

Well either the healthcare on the NHS sucks, or my local hospital does. My dad has gone for a procedure today. His appointment was 10am, but at almost 1pm, he was still waiting. That's ridiculous!:bomb

[Rennfisch]

That's the normal insanity exactly as in Germany. If you have a privat health insurance, you will be treated like a king. You get appointments immediately and don't wait so long for the doctor. But if not..... I had an appointment for a surgery, years ago. I had to wait two days!!

[Oryx Crake]

today my gears are grinded by my tobacco habit -_- and as such by myself I'm complete crap and I need to stop this nicotine abuse.

[Aeroracer]

@oryx..have you ever considered using electronic cigarretes.
they got nicotene and even make smoke but not smoke that is bad for you..they say they eliminate 95% of the harm real ciggerettes do and are legal to smoke inside.perhaps you could buy one to help you give up..

@stevie...my water pipes are broken too.i got a leak but i dont know where it is cos its small and constant but my water bill is very high.

[stin]

Jas!, is it under Tar, Slabs, cement or dirt?, if it`s dirt?, then just dig up and follow the pattern but, is your house private or rent?, if it`s rent?, contact landlord or whatever you deals with.

stevie:)

[mdhay]

... when advanced movers don't work the way they should, for some reason.

[Aeroracer]

its private and i have no idea where the leak is.all i know is the water meter still ticks when all water is turned off with stop cock.it may be under a concrete bit or just plain gardern or even my house..i just dont know where to look as there are no clues like puddles or wet bits..

[blackwiggle]

I managed to give up smoking last year.
I'd tried unsuccessfully to give them away before, then I realized it was every time I had alcohol the craving for a cigarette became too much and I'd cave in, so I gave up the cigs & alcohol on Jan 14th 2010.

I started drinking again 7 months later, but found I no longer had the cigarette craving, so it's been over a year now and I'm sure it's for good :D.

Actually I can't stand the smell of cigarettes now [a sure sign I've given them up for good], and find the smell objectionable if not nauseating when finding myself standing in line next to somebody who smokes, their clothes and breath reek.

Since I quit, the Government in Australia has taxed cigarettes so much in an effort to stop people smoking, they are close to Aus $20 a packet, then you have to find a place to smoke, as most places it is banned now.

[icarasDragon]

Just what I like to here blackwiggle, ridding the world of the scourge that is smoking and one step closer away from climate change
But seriously though, smoking reeks to high heaven, strange to think anybody can start let alone be so difficult to stop.

[Challenger #001]

What's grinding my gears at the moment was the utterly miserable quality of the last Top Gear episode. It's supposed to be a match UK vs Australia top gears, and I thought it'd be quite fun, possibillity of close challenges, a chance to actually be introduced to the Aussie hosts and some amusing moments. But no, of course not. We're going to lark around like this is some kind of sitcom, never allow any proper challenge and treat it like it's an episode of Family Guy. The humour level is low and irritating enough. I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this episode as well. Could have been excellent but instead the only thing we know for sure is that the Stig is a rally driver. :brickwall:mad::-

[Nutcase:259]

is larking around not humour? this is the same format they've used for the past 10 years. why are you surprised :P


Grinds my gears is that there are 2 Lotus-Renault teams in f1, neither actually are 'lotus' and both of them are a joke, :-

[ion harvest]

A few things have gotten my goat lately. And there is nothing I can do about them.

First you should know that I am a window cleaner and in this job I get no respect. Everyone I know frowns at what I do for a living.

Secondly I share my bros PS3 whch is a pain coz I have to beg him to use it. And he likes black ops which I hate.

Thirdly I got some messages from other psn users accusing me of being a second account which has pissed me right off.

And now I just got a phonecall from Andrew who I work with saying he doesn't need me this week. Well that's just lovely eh? Its Valentines in 2 weeks and I'm screwed man. :(

[Oryx Crake]

Ion about the second account thing there are 2 sides to that you could take it as an insult but you could also see it as a compliment, being that people think your too bloody fast not to have played the game before... I suppose if you want to be positive about it what they're really saying is that your a fast pilot and anyway who cares about the haters eh? :P

[ion harvest]

Thank you Oryx. I didn't think of it like that. I be honest and say I didn't feel so fast last night when I got lapped and couldn't complete the race. 20 laps in phantom is too hardcore for me. And for now I think rapier and flash suit me more. I learned a real lesson last night. You guys are very very fast at this game. :) hats off to you all.

[Medusa]

strange to think anybody can start let alone be so difficult to stop
Well if you haven't been there yourself, it's a bit hard to pass judgement isn't it?
Good for you blackwiggle on your accomplishment, and good luck Oryx_Crake. You can do it!
(Been ten or so years and coffee still starts a craving once in awhile. Habit and chemical combined is a very potent memory for neural receptors!!)

[Aeroracer]

@ion

anyone with a brain will see you are not a fake account just by checking your game profile as you will have a normal looking one..

fake id's tend to have like zico challenge done withoing 1 minute of playing the game followed by zone zeus followed by flatland flyer and but failed to earn the 100 barrel roll trophey..if you know what i mean..


if people are giving you a hard time and being rude just block them..dont even get worked up over them..

[stin]

Jas, ach!, that`s a tough one for you:blarg, what about your boyfriend or your family who work in the building trades?. You will need a topey key ( water mains) to turn the water off on the pavement or on the road then fixed the burst pipe or you will need to pay min £300 to fix it for you.

Let me know how you get on?

stevie:)

[MegaGeeza22]

I have only discovered this in the last few days but it drives me up the bloody wall!
Its the word leisure and the way some people pronounce it! this american woman was talking in very fluent english and then said "Lee sure" i was like wtf and it escaped my memory... a few days later i was watching a documentary and another woman said the same thing!! "Lee sure" :mad:

[SaturnReturn]

Well as if my PS3 being busted wasn't bad enough, my old laptop is refusing to start up on me. It just goes to a blue screen as soon as it tries to start up window. Uff! I freakin' hate how technology just arbitrarily decides to stop working.:bomb

EDIT: OK, so I think it's sorted. For some reason it had reset all the BIOS settings and was in SATA mode when needed to be in IDE mode. Weirdness.

[Mr Phlanj]

i bought a ps2 game only to find out my ps3 wont play them so now im PISSED OFF!

[MegaGeeza22]

Chainmail... :bomb
I recieved this today and as im on my ps3 i can copy and paste it here!
*PS3 bday coming up. Hi there im Ken shields and i work at sony PS3 developments, it is coming up to the PS3's 4th Birthday and all psn users to celebrate we offer $40 on psn store for anyone who spreads the news to all their friends (including the person who sent you this message), once you do this an alert message will come up on screen and tell you a unique code that will give you your money on psn store. You had better act fast this offer is only for this week so hurry
I cant believe people fall for this every time... i might start one lol:g

lol phlanj, i no how you feel! i bought a hddvd just after i got my ps3... it didnt work lol. i hope you kept the receipt!

[Nutcase:259]

once you do this an alert message will come up on screen and tell you a unique code that will give you your money on psn store.

:lol
i love chainmail

wonder how many people are gonna be disappointed? probably too many :lol

[Rennfisch]

Yesterday I wanted to load my self painted piranha on my psp. It didn't work and I didn't understand why. I tried it again and again, with no success. Flint tried it also at his PC, with the same result. Finally we had a suspicion and Flint gave me his memory card and tadaa... So there must be something wrong with my own one.

Now I have to buy a new memory card (the same Flint has) and all my records, I had collected on my old one, are for the waste! :(

[MrSmadSmartAlex]

@Rennfisch
Ah, a broken memory stick... had that happen to me before, and I lost a Wipeout Pure save, right after I did 300 laps and set a new record on Odessa Keys, and had to do it all over again. :bomb :lol
But if you want to keep your Pulse records (you were talking about Pulse, right?), can you not just copy your Pulse profile from your old memory stick to your new one?
To get to the Pulse profile, plug your PSP into a PC with a USB cable, then go into the PSP folder, then the SAVEDATA folder, and your Pulse profile should be in there, named UCES00465P0000. Copy this folder onto the PC, then just copy it back to the same location on your new memory stick (/PSP/SAVEDATA).
There's probably some easier method using a PS3, but I don't have one, so I don't know. ;)

[Rennfisch]

@MrSmadSmartAlex:

happy, happy, joy, joy :clap

My records are all on the new menory card! Merci, danke, thank you!! :D

[Nutcase:259]

McAfee internet 'security'!!!

seems more interested in selling your crap than actually doing anything. and unless you install its updates it just stops working without telling you, :blarg

shouldn't complain really as it was thrown in for free but still, trade descriptions act 'n all! :g


also the launch of the new ipad. i dont understand it it cost 500 effing quid?!?!? they say they've created a new market? what the overly large expensive phone market or the overly expensive underpowered laptop market

[MetaKraken]

I don't like how my friends send me messages on that they're saying that they're "giving away free PSN redeem codes". It does NOT work, I've tried it before. That kinda irked me on how they send me any kind of message like this.

[Aeroracer]

delete them off your friend list.sound like douchebags to me..better to have no mates than those type of mates :p

[MetaKraken]

True, except one of the players from my friends list is my cousin (and I can't delete him, even though he made a mistake). D:

[Aeroracer]

ok for your cousin just accidiently spill your coke over his nice white t shirt by accident when you see him..:p

[MetaKraken]

Haha I'll see what I can do. :g

[blackwiggle]

EDIT: OK, so I think it's sorted. For some reason it had reset all the BIOS settings and was in SATA mode when needed to be in IDE mode. Weirdness.

I don't know what is causing it but my computers are doing the total reverse of yours, mine are going to IDE instead of SATA.
BIOS wont hold settings.
Then when I get them back working one storage drive decides to start beeping [Dying].

I think I must be suffering some serious problems with power surges during the early morning hours when I'm asleep, loads of those long life light bulbs are crapping out on me and I'm having heaps of PC problems like never before.
I can't take a trick ATM.

Last week I went to build a new PC and bought a new i7-2500k chip, 2 X WD 2TB HD's, a veciloraptor HD for the OS, 8gig of 1333 ram, new case, Win 7 pro 64 and then disaster.
I find out Intel had recalled all 1155 MB's because of a controller chip problem that stuffs up the SATA 3g ports.
So I can't build a new PC till the replacements come back on the market in late March/ April.
I might as well wait until May/June when the Z68 chipped boards come out.
Then I can overclock and have the Intel on board graphics without needing a video card, can't do both ATM with the current H67 or P67 chips, it's one or the other.
It might be a blessing in disguise, I've just got to find a way to fix [keep running] the ones I have till then.:frown:

[mdhay]

...When you don't die from chain mail. I was told that I was gonna die if I didn't send it on, why wasn't this promise fulfilled? :bomb

:P

[Aeroracer]

you dont want to die mdhay..well maybe you do..but try not too cos its wrong..you got lots of stuff you gotta do.we all die in the end so we gotta do as much stuff as possible till our unavoidable death arrives..

chainmails are really annoying..especialy the death threat ones..

my cough is annoying me today it just wont go..its noisy and really bugging me now.

[MegaGeeza22]

Infoxicated closing the football thread...
Football is all about disagreeing, if every football fan agreed then there would be no football. but realistically its all give and take and in the end its just friendly banter.
iv been watching the active members list drop and drop, i wonder why.... if you disagree with somebody here you become an outcast and become ignored.
I feel like its me that causes problems here lol and im sorry if iv ever offended somebody.
I think i will leave the forum now, so if im on your psn friends list feel free to remove me lol.
But good luck to the remaining cup participants. Wipeout is ace :+

[OBH]

Oh my god, if you have a problem with the way things are done, there's no need to put it in here and get all melodramatic. Can't you just do what I did and send a friendly message to the man himself??
It's no wonder things get closed with all this bs.

edit:
I've just had a browse through other threads and there's a lot of bickering going on in WZ once more...... that time of the year is it?

[KGB]

I feel like its me that causes problems here lol and im sorry if iv ever offended somebody.


Don't worry about it Geeza, we all contributed to it's downfall. Let it go, it's in the past. It was probably doomed from the start anyway :+.

[SaturnReturn]

One thing I've learned since starting this role is that you really can't please everything. You can have several people fed up with arguments going down and suggesting a thread can be closed, and then others will not like it when it is closed. Either they enjoy the arguments or they feel their voice has been taken away somehow.

Also, far too often people lose track of the discussion. This isn't just going off topic, but also concerns thread which just become a series of isolated posts without any real value. Obviously there'll always be some of that, otherwise we'd be trying to have a 100-way cross-conversation, but these days it seems like even discussion forums become a bit too much like a series of disparate twitter posts, or facebook status updates.

I think banter is fine but it's always a fine line between what is and what isn't. When it comes to football I've always felt that people seem incapable of having a proper discussion about it. Also, the text people write on the internet comes largely without any hint of the writer's demeanour, so we pretty much make it up ourselves, based on how we feel about the subject. Then that leads to misunderstandings and exaggeration.

All the above contribute to threads being locked. However, from the odd forum I've seen elsewhere, I don't think there is a vastly disproportionate amount of locked threads here. People still seem to give largely positive feedback about this place as a community too, and that's pretty much based on the values it was established with from the start. So it's only logical that whatever those values are, that we should try and maintain them. Yes we could explain things a bit more when we make decisions and stuff - I certainly always thought that - but to be frank, I've seen now that justifying every decision would basically make this a 24 hour job some times. This post itself has taken me about half an hour to write, just trying to get my message across properly and constructively. I used to try and do it more often but found it was just consuming my evenings.

I have to be honest, because of all the above, I didn't expect a football thread to stay as good natured as it did, for as long as it did. But it's not as if there's any shortage of places to discuss football now, is it?:?

Welcome to the USA- we say what we say n get it out. N don't give a f.... being outcast or shunned.

Were I been on this board from where I started talking to people on a web forum or message board or whatever they want to call it now a days.

I'm still laughing that the first football topic got closed. But it does not mean you shouldn't make a second one. And let your talk about Soccer ( football for the east side of the world, Canada, Mexico, central and south America ) live on. Cause I'm going to keep cheering for Manchester United, Team USA MEN'S AND Females. And maybe one other team that one of u non Man U fans likes. Who made the first football topic, Mr. Pub aka phlang's brother. Then do another one. Hell monitor it yourself. But remember I'm still going to bring Man U and Team Usa up. When they win and when crap happens.

Nobody is creator of its doom. You wanted fan response. You gonna get it like a gleaming light to a bursting supernova.

Good bad n ugly n cute.

What I got to say on some more grinding

Is people across this country need to go back n support the small business or business man in each state across the country. I work for a guy who's a small business. And still needing more support from towns people and people. And more important the stingy banks for a loan to help grow this business. Again the rating for giving a loan and way they decide to give it or not. i still believe it as discriminated and getting worse.

My states new governor said she would give business a tax cut on things. The b..... hasn't gotten off her flat ass and proved that statement, I mean lie she gave after coming into office.

Support your local small business company. Keep them alive

[mdhay]

you dont want to die mdhay..well maybe you do..but try not too cos its wrong..you got lots of stuff you gotta do.we all die in the end so we gotta do as much stuff as possible till our unavoidable death arrives.

T'was sarcasm, Jasmin. :lol :g

[OBH]

It was probably doomed from the start anyway :+.

Its been open since 2009 with no problems at all.

[KGB]

I was just being nice Haydn, what I should of said was - it was fine until a couple of weeks ago when people started getting aggressive.

[DJ Techno]

Its been open since 2009 with no problems at all.

Then reopen a new like I said.

Cause I'd open it.

Man U n American Football (pig skin) would be all over. Both pro n college teans

[OBH]

Man U & American Football? :) Think youd be on your own on that one my friend! :beer

[SaturnReturn]

Waking up with random scars on your body. Not exactly scars, but as if someone's given you a really big paper cut across your chest, or back, or...erm...lower back area. Weirdness.:blarg

[Nutcase:259]

Waking up

9:52pm? Thats a rockstar lifestyle and a half there :lol

papercuts? that certainly is odd, any pets you own? or particularly coarse duvets?

[blackwiggle]

I'd get those scars checked out Saturn.

I would whether be alone, then let a fun not bad thing. Like fans of soccer die n be said it died cause people really showed themselve. Which they have all right to do.

Hell I'm even surprised all fans never showed pics of yourself showing support for a club, team, or player.


Real fan would have done it. Like I would put on an Oakland raider fan outfit that copies the The Road Warriors from WWF (WWE) it would have me looking like then.

[OBH]

I've read that 3 times now.... and I'm still none the wiser to what it means :) Sorry.

[DJ Techno]

im still sick with virus or bacteria. i'll edit for ya later

[blackwiggle]

What's grinding my gears ATM is being laid off from work [I've been expecting it] and a faulty hard drive that is beeping while I am typing this, it's driving me crazy.
I wish it would just STFU :brickwall
It's like having somebody constantly trying to get your attention while you are trying to do something.

Not a good day.

What!

you want to explain what you mean ATM

like we talking about the right ATM here.

[SaturnReturn]

ATM=at the moment.


I'd get those scars checked out Saturn.
http://www.noufors.com/physical_evidence_in_alien_abduction_cases.html

Yeah, I figured that could be it. Interestingly I have been waking up every morning with a slight bloody nose. But I'm fairly sure I just have actual sinus problems.;) Meh, as long as there's a logical explanation then I'm not fussed, aliens or otherwise. Not as if I'm making use of that sleep time anyway.:)

[Aeroracer]

whats grinding my gears right now is.................

i dont feel well i got flu..

my eyes are streaming and bulbous
my nose is running like a tap
my throat is saw
i got headache
and a nasty cough

i want to get better and go back to work..

[DJ Techno]

welcome to club sick, i still bartender there.

and still having a dry cough problem.

but you sound like a seasonal flu

[Aeroracer]

hope u get better dj..
im feeling a little better today but still a way to go i think..not looking forward to the nasty cough you get as you almost finish the flu with.

[DJ Techno]

yep

i took two different theraflu medicines, dayquil, halls, and something else

back to back with the dayquil and thermaful each day. tried not to go over the doseage danger

unless you dont like the liver.

sucked on a whole package of throat medication. that suppose to maximum numb pain or anything else. well. i took a whole package of 8 cherry flavored pieces in less than the 12 hours n some i worked.

and sucked on 8 halls throat and couch pieces.

like my mom said. me and my brother both have had strep throat. except he got it again this year and i get something close to it. but wasn't it.

i still have the coughing left to kill. might have to do with mucas that is left over. and i still take a gurgle of iodized salt and hot water, chicken broth, and whatever else i make to cook.

[MyNameIsBom]

im dying from the cringe here oh lord....

[Medusa]

That's one of the saddest reasons to bully someone I've ever heard...okay, maybe not quite...but close. At least you have the satisfaction of knowing that whoever bullies you for that is tremendously pathetic. Not that I'd suggest telling them that if they're bigger than you.

Anyway, buck up! You learn way more life skills (hopefully, :lol) when you grow up poor. People who grow up with everything handed to them almost never learn how to survive with less, take care of themselves, or be happy with what they have.


And does that explain why guys have... U know wet their pants at night.
Creepy aliens are taking our DNAs!
ROFL Sure, blame it on the aliens!

Add me to the list of people whose gears are being ground by nasty colds and coughs. *hack hack hack*

[Aeroracer]

I'd get those scars checked out Saturn.
http://www.noufors.com/physical_evidence_in_alien_abduction_cases.html

i checked out that link.

i think sound like crap to me.

the site suggests these aliens are sterile and are stealing our DNA and ovum and sperm for their reserch.

the human race sussed out cloning in the 1940's these aliens can fly to our planet not get seen and abduct us yet cannot sort out their fertility probelms..sounds unlikley.

i reckon 70% of evidence such as scars or strange marks are just things the person didnt ntice and just happened like they fell over forgot about it then next day say i wonder how that mark appeared i must have been abducted.

29% are american housewifes who feel they do not recieve enough media attention so make up fantasy storys

1% is down to other unexplained reasons.

thats my oppinion

as with these implants ..how does anyone know they had an impant planted into them unless they have extracted it and if they did where is it.where evidence or advanced alien technolgy.

any aliens smart enogh to be able to travel to our planet would be smart enough to carry on flying and not bother landing.there is nothing on interest on planet earth for alien lifeforms apart from a 1001 forms of death and self worshipping ego manics and a possible counter invasion to their planet from us once we have stolen their technology.

as a life form we are pretty nasty we have alien and predator and terminator as role model hard ass non human forms but remember humans made them up so there a predatetor living in many of us already.

[Nutcase:259]

the picture below unusual marks is so obviously a henna tattoo :lol

that said i think it was a joke wasnt it? :beer

[Aeroracer]

scary thing is people believe this type of crap

i see this vampire site full of plonkers who were saying vampires are real and were talking about there rules and cultures as if they existed .some of them who posted said they were vampires..real ones not goths..if i was a vampire i wouldnt join a trashy vampire forum to brag about it ill be flying to the caribean as a bat for a free holiday or turning to mist to rob my bank.

makes me laugh all these sites just popped up after all these american vampie shows about schoolkid vampires with special abilities
they have no evidence to support there claims and any evidence they find on the net they use if you double check it you always find it was discredited but the poster pretend not to be aware of this.

im happy to be human i dont need to pretend i have special powers.
humans have the ultimate special power already..

a brain with an idea and a drive to action it.

[Nutcase:259]

its probably just some sort of coping stratergy for people with problems in there lives id guess. they can go play vampires if they want so long as they arnt interferring with my buisness (or stealing my blood ;))

that said i guess they have to kind of face reality at some point. it does annoy me when people with such far fetched beliefs are so incredibly defensive, unreasonably so

[Aeroracer]

i have not got problems with people who wanna play vampire provided they dont go around breaking the law..

its just annoying when the argue with people saying there real and have nothing to back it up and call you the idiot.

i so agree with you it is there way of dealing with the failing and unmet expectations of their life that drive them to do it

[Nutcase:259]

i have not got problems with people who wanna play vampire

good, i can keep the gene simmons costume on then ;) hahahah :bat



edit: grinding my gears is how easily side tracked i can get. i went online to find out different bank accounts and ended up talking about dreams, vampires and conspiracy theorys :lol

Male Cats....
I think its the cat humping season, i have 2 female cats and every night this week after 11pm all i hear is cats calling to my cats :mad: it sounds like crying babies! my cats dont dare leave the house with 5/6 male cats waiting to pounce!
Every 15 minutes its "MeeEeOoOW" at 3am it starts to grate...

i bought a external disc drive for my laptop so i could play shogun total war 2 and now my mate just told me why it wont work.

£85 wasted. man i feel silly.

Well, yesterday I was playing Zombies on CoD: Black Ops, when two players decided to steal my kills for no apparent reason. Can't they realize that this isn't even online multiplayer?! :bomb

And today, I can't sign in to PSN on my PS3 for unknown reasons. My internet connection is fine and yet I'm unable to get in. :|

I've hurt people, but why can't people jsut leave me alone? :( :|
Why are people starting to use this site to get attention? This site is for Wipeout and to have a bit of fun...
Attention seekers / sulkers grind my gears.

[mdhay]

It was rhetorical question, just me saying that it's strange how others my age seem to constantly bring up what I've done before now, I don't get it. That's all.

But whilst we're on the subject, This is a thread about what pisses you off. I posted exactly that. No more, no less. Strange how you've done exactly the same after me, then. Fullfilling the thread name, I mean.

[MegaGeeza22]

It just sounded like something somebody would say when they were crying, it was nothing personal. I just want everyone to be happy lol.
But my message was a bit hypocritical.... i said i hated sulking and then sulked about your message lol.

[mdhay]

You were simply responding to the thread, nothing more. :)

I usually make sure I brush people who don't move, especially on the tube or people on the escalator who take up the whole thing, or indeed people who walk 4 abreast along the pavement and expect me to step into the road around them. I won't push them or barge them, just make sure my shoulder brushes theirs or something. That tiny bit of contact might make them realise they're not the only person in the world.:rolleyes:

Not crediting college courses I've already done because of a "rule"

It's English class... Seriously? T.T It's gonna be such a waste of my time.

Because I think I'm fine with the day to day conversational language, and it's gonna be on that first. Perhaps I could benefit from the second course on scientific language but even right now I can read scientific papers and understand the gist of it (Scientific American and such, even on astrophysics I can follow without having ever studied that.)
Sometimes I may have to look up a word here or there, generally colloquial expressions that I obviously don't hear out loud considering where I live.

I'm disappointed :|

Police Harassment

The most agrivatin thing in the world
On top of police racial profiling and accusing u of doing something and you have nothing to do with it and can prove it and they still want to cuff you, book you, and get your life in there hands. Because they where a badge.

What happens when ur on a moped to the gas station.
Blue lights run behind you. You get off your moped and the cop name major Steven Jonus tells you Techno take your backpack off and put your hands behind your back.

No miranda rights
Me and the pig talk face to face about and he admits to my face
That he didnt need to ask me for my or any kind of moped licenses.
That he himself has been keeping up with my activities, record, driving record, dmv, and criminal activity.

Call it harassment and profiling

Then when we talk in the car he drives.
Talk about my middle name. A middle name called Techno. But it is not an official legal middle name. It is the nam known to those around me, myself, and through the rest of the world.
But its not on my social security card, birth record, and guess what the dmv does not state it as Techno. No just T. just T because when I applied for the name change I did not finish the process.

So after that.
Jonus says. And after he knows now I'm returning back to serve for the united states marines.
Cut me a deal... and not take me to jail. Not give me three tickets but two. And I paid to get my moped out of that impound.

Police profiling, harassment, arrest without Miranda rights without just cause.

Pigs like that gotta go. Like the crazy debt Obama is trying to undone that the republicans have done since after 2004.

Preach on brother techno....As a black man in Texas I damn sure feel you... Im originally from Georia but have lived here for the last 3 years. You would not believe the racism and ignorance of the people here.

[MegaGeeza22]

I dont believe it has anything to do with race... im well known to the police where i live and i always get pulled over by the police, im a white skin headed male. If your known to them they will stop you and ask what your doing, there just making sure your not up to no good.
They pull everyone over especially if your known to them... but when they stop a black man its racist?

[Aeroracer]

People who try to defend someone who is a complete douche bag :bomb This happened earlier today when I was talking about how Kanye West needs a swift kick to the rear and how rude he was during the VMA awards. Suddenly, some random freshman jumped in and started ranting on trying to justify his douchey-ness by saying it was his, and I quote, "Superior taste in music..." and his "musical genius" or how he's the "voice of our generation...". As boiled as my blood was, I could do nothing but laugh and politely informed her to go away :rolleyes: This also goes for good female friends who choose the biggest jerks to go out with and yet they try to tell me that he's not that bad and other :turd like that.

While I'm rantin, drama angers me too. It's pointless, it's dumb, and in 3 weeks I won't have to listen to it anymore. Sweet, sweet bliss :beer

[DJ Techno]

So let me get this straight. A man I known since middle school.

I work for him in his video store Twilight Video.

This dumb son of a bitch. Sent me a text message Thursday on my three day off. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Saying I am working today Friday, then Saturday, sunday, Monday.

Excuse me motha ****a, me n him had our words last two Fridays ago. When he text me a bullshit claim that if I come n work a Friday the schedule cam change to Friday, Saturday, monday, Sunday. But the schedule change would effect only if I worked that Friday.

Do I have a label on my forehead that says Jackass and slave?
Hell no!

So after the 3rd Friday n this Friday now. Me and the son of a bitch, so call friend, so call want me to be a partner with him in his business. Charles ( C J ) Spurr. Got in another text arguement. And you know what on going to try n put out the whole text in this spot. From yesterday and before that. To show a man with power has not one damn bit of sense, respect, and keeps to there word and rules of things.

So I'm gonna come to the video store. Friday from 12 to 11.

not to work. No no. It will be as what I do and get the **** out.
Make the money... my percentage of everything each day.

[greenymac]

You know what even worse? People that drive 10 miles under the speed limit in the fast lanes:brickwall...If you're gonna cruise and you're not in a hurry, get in the right lane you idiot.

[Rennfisch]

War on German autobahn. It's like emliminator - weapons off. Cutting and jostling are commonplace. Furthermore are you among those who not dare to drive faster than 100 km/h and them who can not drive slower than 200 km/h.

[Colonel]

I heard somewhere that the German police are really tough on people driving dangerously on the Autobahn. Specifically that you are not allowed closer to the car in front than 1 metre for every Km/h you're driving. Is this true Renn?

[mdhay]

Sounds like the two chevron thing over here.

[Rennfisch]

The prescribed distance is actually half speed (160 km/h / 80 m), but often you cannot see the lights from the car behind you, so close they are.

The problem is that the police must present evidence. It needs a well-motorized car with expensive video equipment. Unfortunately, the police can only afford a few cars of this type, so they catch only a few speeders / tailgaters. But if they catch them....

An example:

At 160 km / h threaten following penalties:

Less than 40 m distance: 100 € and 2 points.
Less than 24 m distance: 240 €, 4 points, 1 month driving ban.
Less than 8 m distance: 400 €, 4 points, 3 months driving ban.

It could be that in other countries you must pay more money, but in Germany you get also points for traffic violations. If you have more than 18 points, you lose your driving license!

[mic-dk]

Funny how ones miles vary (pun semi-intended :D )

Whenever I have used the Autobahn, it has always been a good experience. Granted, most times I have been on my motorcycle and that kinda puts me in the top speed-bracket, so I haven't really had to dance with the lorries and so on.

I do remember one time though. 3 lanes in each direction (somewhere north of Osnabrück I think) and I check my mirror before I start overtaking a row of cars in the middle lane. Nothing there, so I buzz along at about 170 km/h, when I see a flash in the mirror. I look straight into the grille on a big Mercedes, furiously flashing his lights at me :eek So, I throttle up to +200 km/h, overtake the cars and pull back in. The merc silently flies past me at what I'm guessing is 250 km/h. I admit I needed a small break after that :p

Italy on the other hand... :dizzy :D

[DJ Techno]

I have equipment costing less than 5 grand that is suppose to be traveling with me in every bus I ride.


Instead that equipment, the four days of clothing and workout clothing n shoes.
Are on a supposed route and destinations of the Burlington Airport where I end the trip to Al's.


Now how did it come to be.

Jack rabbits from baggy and bus drivers unload all but mine. I'm suppose to be bac on the bus I.had been on when I arrived at charlotte, nc.

No the bus changes, my baggage is still on the bus I got off. The bus is moved and last but not least I spend a whole time getting the baggage. And supervisor Franklin says that the luggage will get there before I do...

Yeah. So with the evils and meanest facial look I have its made to the point that the supe, the cop guarding n controlling, and others. That I am not in the mood to even touch my shoulder. Cause it would it be broke and your elbow. I'm being calm m trying to let it control. But facial look is still unchanged.

The cop coming behind me, sees I'm still pissed. And we start a small talk. Cause he is cop and he has to read and understand body language. Mines is the type that comes with action if provoked. He loosin his gloves and takes them off standing next to me and we talk.

I.crack a small smile.

But still walk out with my chicken salad, a still continuing to calm down Acton, and still the face reads don't f with me.

Yeah its hard to get mad off me.
Especially when it comes to technology that I have had over the years doing good and bad things with.
And somebody else having it. Oh hell no

The totally balls news that the bbc is giving up there fantastic coverage of The F1 to sodding SKY sports. If its like any of there other Motorsport coverage, Indycar and A1gp its gonna be awfull, stupid presenters that dont know what there on about and the prince of dullness Keith Huewen :bomb.

dont understand it, the bbc get around 50% of the viewers in the whole of the uk tuning in to watch the races, the amount of viewers they get is almost more than on every other available channel combined! on a weekly basis!!!!, making it arguebly the most important program on there and there dumping half of the coverage to save money, yet are spending £900million quid relocating from the perfectly decent tv buildings in london to salford.
Quite easily ditch all the b******s programs on in the morning or ditch bbc4 altogether, Just not effing sky sports!!!!!!!!!!!
hopefully there is still time to change the deal :(

Still the producer of topgears come up with some funny comments:

Murdoch's money brings F1 to Sky. "Are Red Bull running team orders? Let's hack into their radio messages to find out..." #F1

Beat Sky at their own game by simply buying a ticket to each F1 race and watching it in person rather than on TV. #F1

Mimic the BBC F1 announcement by paying only half your licence fee and then giving really half arsed details about how they'll get the rest.

Make the next GP feel like it's on Sky by throwing £30 away and then turning your TV off every 10 minutes. :lol

[SaturnReturn]

Bit late here (just catching up with the forum). I was really disappointed at that F1 news as well. BBC coverage is way better than it was on ITV, and I can't imagine it being good on Sky. I don't even have Sky, and I'm definitely not about to get it for this reason alone.

I tried watching a film last night on cable here in Canada. It was on ABC. OMG, there were adverts every ten minutes, and I swear at one point it was more like every 5 minutes. I don't know how people put up with that kind of thing all the time.

London riots. Honestly, people are just setting fire to stuff and looting shops, and what do the police do? Stand in a line at the end of the street where the violence is taking place. I thought they were supposed to do something about it?

[Nutcase:259]

Yeah, wtf, why has everyone in london suddenly gone feral and mental seemingly overnight?

Its not really the polices fault, its the government for cutting funding so deep into so many important services and projects. Also there doesnt seem to be any strong leadership or co-ordination, Literally its like every important stiff is on holiday
They should start using zero tolerance methods teargas and rubber bullets, alot of them seem to be just doing it because they can, (but then again i dont know whats going on, where i live in the rural UK is almost like a seperate country to the cities )


however If it overthrows the tories though thats no bad thing :evil :lol

[MegaGeeza22]

Our police used to protect their local communitys and help people... but now they are just an army who protect the Queen, parliament and the economy.
I think this is all organized anyway... the government have brought in the infamous hooded gang (which is used globally) to kick start riots where locals kids are grieving just so the government can pass a few more laws to control us.

[trackripper]

You know what really tops it off? How the government are saying that "those responsible will be brought to justice" but in reality most people know that the dissidents will all get off scott free.

[mdhay]

My brother.

I'll have to clarify why he grinds my gears, and this may be a lengthy read, so strap in and grab the popcorn if you want, this is a farce enough as it is.

My brother is older than me, yet acts like a child. Don't mistake this for a mental illness, he's just an idiot. He seems to think that everything belongs to him and that he has free reign over when he can and can't do. For example, I have my laptop, and naturally, I will want to play games on it. My brother knows this, so he tries to get me to allow him to use my old steam account to play Left 4 Dead on his computer (something he should not have, simply because he only plays games on it, the laptop he screwed up with too much porn would suffice for everything he had to do for college). Whilst I stood my ground and repeatedly told him to make an easier password on his (his incompetence knows no bounds), I eventually had to, given that my parents seem to enforce such narcissistic behaviour with impunity, at least as far as he is concerned.

He is the kind of person who should not be allowed technology, failing that, allowed outside with any amount of currency and outside of two meters from a responsible adult. Of course, none of these apply. he is the one with a desktop computer (that he punched because he bought a small tower then proceeded to put a GPU in. Yes, really), when I need it more than him. Now that Skyrim has been released, I have gotten no peace for anything, work, trying to think straight, you name it. Those who have Skyrim will empathise for the frame rate drops and crashes that it holds in its innards. Much like Fallout 3/ GoTY, I fear it will break the console. If it does, I lose ~£100 of content, simply because I've accessed my content from friends' houses and have recovered from dead units before now, leaving me on my last activation, which I have claimed back now. This has left me pretty darn pissed, as you can imagine.

But anyway, that's enough from me. Something to lighten the mood, perhaps? (http://www.halolz.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/halolz-dot-com-skyrim-physics-bitchimahorse.jpg)

Currently, it's only letting me view WZ and Google and won't display anything else. Not only can't I browse the other areas of the Interwebz, but I also can't even check Companies House for work related stuff either.

The students who act like fools at my school.:bomb I can't wait to leave.

It makes me go on fits of rage for how stupid they act. And I have a disability, but yet I'm one of the better students. And no, this is more that them not doing work. It's much worse.

I can't say college is much better. Depends where you go and what level your courses are (intro vs major-specific). I can tell you people are a lot nicer (bullying doesn't exist because you're all adults, you don't have to see anyone outside of class, and no one knows anyone else so you don't have to be "cool"), and professors will make you grade your partners after group projects, so kids who don't work get royally effed.

Anyhow, pooping grinds my gears. Wiping, too. It's so gross.

I hate it when you look at the lobby list in Wipeout HD, you choose a race but a millisecond before you join the room the lobby list rearranges itself and you end up joining a room that you didnt intend to lol... its even more annoying if they start the race before you can leave, especially if its an eliminator with a target of 600 lol.

What really Grinds my gears, Where do i start, THe Government, Peoples imcompetence, Everything, So lets pick a single thing.

I really Hate how Sony is thinking of making a Jak and daxter collection when the story isn't even finished, And how the fact that spyro isn't getting a collection when jak and daxter is :|

Spiders in my car!!

I hate them! They're frightening me! Eight eyes and eight legs - they must be aliens! It's very difficult not to fall in panic, when they hang around in front of my nose while driving car. At home, Flint kills them, but he wasn't there, so I hadn't no choice and must did it myself :cold.

Damn creatures, why don't they stay outside, where they belong to?

To change the car doesn't work. They also were in my old car. I nearly had an accident, because a spider was abseiling at the side window and I didn't pay attention to the curve. I rammed the kerb, but I came back on the street before I crashed into a street sign. Thank god I just destroyed a rim, not the whole car.

[Autechom]

Ahhh, a former friend of mine had similar experiences towards cars and spiders. I really hate them but fortunately, my girlfriend puts them away when I scream like a 5 year old girl.

Youtube...
Recently when i go on youtube i can watch a few videos but then i get this message -
"This account has been terminated due to repeated or severe violations of our Community Guidelines."
It says this on every video that i click on? i haven't been banned or nothing and if i wait 30 minutes the videos work fine! It even says this on Wipeout videos lol... does anyone else get this problem? it really grinds my gears lol, maybe google is tired of me watching conspiracy videos... :lol

Ubisoft. Their UPlay service has been down all day meaning I can't play Anno 2070 that I stumped up £20 for. And they haven't even had the decency to at least comment. Disgusting company

[DJ Techno]

When u got two stank hoes putting.slander on you n they know their little scheme of he said, she said.

Does not work on me and when it is played n forked on me.

I rage into the worst man in Columbia. not caring for a soul who gets in my way, gets hurt, and has a broken bone in their body.

Putting slander on me or others is the last thing you want to do.

The Internet.
Some say that its the best source for information... I say its the best source for conflicting information.
My cat became ill not long ago so i browsed the internet for information and half the vet websites i visited said she could die within 24 hours the other half said that it was nothing to worry about.
Im noticing this more and more on nearly every subject and it really grinds my gears lol.
Also if you ever have problems with your health, Never look online... it would probably scare you to death lol, just see a doctor asap.
My cat is fine now if you was wondering... it was just a urinary tract blockage and the vet sorted it out! i just have to take her twin sister in on monday because she also has the same symptoms.
Stay healthy :)

[Inversion]

^ This post, right here.

Internet doctor site drive me nuts. It's like they're TRYING to make everyone a hypochondriac. Best example I have is WebMD: Yellow tinge to tongue? You might be constipated...or you have AIDS.

I'm not even remotely kidding.

[Ragsus Maxima]

I've seen so many cases about this. Definitely, you can not trust the Internet for such things. What's wrong with the healthcare centres?

[Colonel]

On a similar note, I've been trying to get fit over the last few months, and the amount of contradicting information on the net is baffling. Any topic, whether it's weight training, cardio, nutrition, has polar opinions stated as fact in numerous places, often seemingly trustworthy sources. It's very frustrating.

Karma...
I saved a frog earlier from my cats razor sharp claws and i felt proud for saving a life, i turned around feeling smug 8) and i trod on a snail :(
NOOOO

[Sausehuhn]

So you basically saved another frog? ;)

[DJ Techno]

Still the continuation of cops here Columbia, SC still racial profiling and profiling a person period.

Knock folks down. Regardless or not they cleaned up a record.

And are wearing their seat belt, while driving in the intersection, and doing the speed limit.

[MegaGeeza22]

So you basically saved another frog? ;)

I always thought karma meant that if you did something good then something bad would happen to even things out?
But you are right, i looked up the word karma.

So i saved 2 frogs and killed 2 snails lol.
