Dealing with any so called agency that is supposedly there to provide a service, like PayPal, they keep sending me Emails asking why I haven't been using them.
Pity I can't send an automated reply saying it's pretty must common knowledge why people avoid using your, Bank, PayPal, Phone company, ISP etc.

What's grinding my gears, and has been since Sept last year, yep 10 months so far :evil:bomb, is the building work that is happening where I live.
They have been re rendering the facade and painting, I had 4 painters decide to stop off on my balcony during their trip up the outside of the building and have a nice old chat for twenty minutes, in Korean.
It felt like I was in that movie Brazil.:dizzy
The council bastards took over a year to mutilate and fuk up the entire road in front of the old place i was living. was shiity living there for that period of time. Couldnt get in or out. still there is a will there is a way.
Any of you guys seen the state the UK's justice system? Now, we aren't allowed to wear England football shirts or hang England Flags in fear of upsetting non - english residents. Of course, being from Scotland, it doesn't effect me [;)], but it's pissed me right off. :bomb Still, what can you expect from the P.C Brigade apart from total BS? :rolleyes:
I don't mean to sound racist, don't get me wrong (People have been racist towards me, and I'd never do anything like that to anyone), and I duly apologoze if it sounds like I am or if I am being so, but why is it that the non - english population can be racist to us and get nothing done to them, whereas if we so much as get offended by a woman wearing a veil in an airport (which is kind of a breach of security, as an Al - Qaeda member tried that once), or by their practices, (Like throwing chicken heads into an alley and infesting the whole street. :blarg), and the english person gets the Book of Political Ignorance thrown at them!
Of course, there are some that deserve it, such as %40 of the white male population of my school, and I understand that those of the non - british population that cause those problems are a minority, but could somebody please explain all this to me? Since when was the perverbial white british man not allowed his nationality? :bomb :bomb
Similar things are happening here in Australia as well mdhay. Some guy got told off by his council for having an Aussie flag hanging on his apartment veranda. for some bullshit reason about offending people who are not Australian, since they might be offended by the flag in some way or manner. Like wtf, that is total stupid.
As i and a good mate would say, if you dont like Australia and its culture, then why are you living here? bugger off out of this country. So many people have moved here in recent times dont appreciate how good they have got it in this country.
It's a similar ideology here, in fact. Here's an example:

Zing! :P
This just isn't true, what are they going to do to you, arrest you for supporting a national football team? The extreme right have high-jacked the Union Jack and St George Cross to the point people are embarrassed to be associated with it. It's rather strange as Great Britain stood up against fascists not too long ago so we have plenty of reason to fly our respective flags with pride.Quote:

Everybody else dose this on Australia day have the flags going everywhere all over there cars.
Crap in the eye! i've had something in my eye for three days now. It stays concealed under my upper eyelid so i don't know what it is and it won't go away by itself. i've rinsed my eye well like 5 times already, but NO it just stings in there.. annoying basturd.
Probably best to pop down to your local pharmacy and get that eye wash thingy. The same stuff medics use on pepper spray victims. That might be able to help you out :)
it could be a small stye, nothing to worry about i had one the other week just some hot water and willpower to not rub it and you'll be fine :P
Begin rant.
I'll tell you what grinds my gears - The Human Rights Act.
I hate how it's constantly used as a scapegoat these days. All I hear about is the typical "oh, I broke the law but you can't arrest me because it's a breach of my human rights."
Seriously, what is going on? Our country used to be the greatest in the world and now we are laughed at and walked all over.
End of rant.
In other news, a boiling hot day with no breeze grinds my gears - I'm a winter lover and don't like excessive heat :bomb
Well Australia will become a Republic soon, so that is one less country on the once Great British Empire.
President Kevin Rudd, now that would be interesting.
DP come to Aus in summer time. Here you die when there is no seabreeze, those heatwaves with the summer heat in the high 40+c is hell on Earth.
Modern gas station equipment! Let me elaborate...
It has been long overdue, but finally could fin time to spend a few hours changing oil, brakefluid and generally clean up my motorcycle and then take a 10km drive to a gasstation with one of those fancy airpump where you punch in the pressure, attach the hose and push a button.
Only this POS thingy doesn't fit properly to the valve on the tyre and instead of putting air in, lets the remainder out. The really great feature of said airpump now kicks in. It has a system that detects pressure, so you can punch in whatever pressure you want and then walk around the car doing all 4 wheels without touching the machine. The really, really great sideeffect of this is that the pump won't start when there is no pressure detected.
Usually you can hold in a button and it'll start pumping anyway, but did that button work at all? No.
So basically it gave me a flat tyre and then promptly refused to correct the error.
I drove the 10km home, with 10-15km/h, with a flat front tyre and the burning humiliation of getting overtaken by a tractor. The tire is destroyed, so the bike as back on the paddock stand and the front wheel is in the back of my car.
That sucks mic, but the tractor comment cracked me up. :lol
Another two things that grind my gears are:
1. Randomness
2. Bullying
Link between the two?
Well,in school I am quite a serious,no-nonsense attitude person.My Co-curricular activity senior said to be "relax" before a concert(I am in my school choir,last concert was 16 may).For some strange reason I cannot seem to smile when in school. So,I cannot take jokes,especially the jokes made about me by my semingly p*rn addicted,corrupted,whacked out,seem like as though they ma*t****te classmates.And I hate their randomness.(wow,am I ranting about my classmates?)
Ah,bullying.It will never stop......
People fight what they fear... these bullies are the real scaredy cats (cowards), they'll do anything for a quick laugh and can never see the big picture.... Pay it no mind buddy, they go home and cry every night :)
My gears are well oiled for now, and aint nobody grinding them this week dammit! I'm in a good mood and am gonna try and spread my positive vibes around... so if you want any, just drop me a visitor message :)
with Love, Ace :)
Yeah the BP ones here have similar setup as well. Some work great, some kills all the air out of your tire then your stuffed driving around on a flat to find another proper one.Quote:

when every fakin dealer runs out of gringo at the same fakin time... pisses me right off, bear with a sore head :bomb
LOL, thats one shredded tyre! (Un)Fortunately a new front wheel is way too expensive for me to treat it like that ;)
