17 Aug 2007

I have a problem redface

I think I am turning into a grumpy old man. surprised

ops: A real miserable git. :oops: :oops: .
Yesterday I went for a swim. In the changing rooms the have bland piped music. As I towelled myself down I heard the brilliant harpiscord intro to 'Golden Brown' by The Stranglers' I couldn't believe my luck that they were going to play such a great track while I got changed. :happy: Then horror of horrors some bland rapper started talking over the music. It was a bloody sample mad

:x .
Later that day, I had to talk to a contractor who in his letter to me had managed to put an apostrophe in my client's name :x William's insteed of Williams. :x :x I tried so hard not to let it effect me but I could feel my blood begin to boil.
What can I do to avoid this terminal condition? dunno

No, you aren't grumpy. Anyone who messes around with the 'stranglers' wants er, strangling!!! Same as anyone who is incompetent and can't do the job right!
We arent grumpy, we were brought up in an age where we respect decent music and do our jobs right, nothing so wrong in that is there??? Or does that make me a grumpy old woman? :giggle:

I must be a founder mamber of this club. lol

My biggest current gripe is that you can't read the credits and listen to the signature tune at the end of any TV programme in peace, you are instead bombarded with trailers for what's coming up next, with the credits being reduced to an almost invisible rectangle in the corner of the screen. What's the bloody point - nobody can read it! mad

Mind you two grumpy old men together are worth at least four!
I can't stand the way DJs talk over music tracks just to foil those who (allegedly) want to record them. I just want to listen to the complete piece of music FGS.
The other one that gets me is the way they fade out 'Another Brick in the Wall' just as the guitar solo - the best bit - starts. It's not a very long solo FGS - just play it!!!

I was merely chiming with the theme of the thread,my friend. I wasn't referring to us, of course (even though I was speaking to the founder member at the time). What on earth gave you that idea?? wink

The grumpiness continues
Does every woman in the land own a green smock top?
I've just been down the local High Street and it seems every other woman is wearing one. Different styles yes, different shades yes but still a green smock top.
Why oh why has this fashion caught on? Unless you are a stick thin 14 year old you just look dumpy.
And while I'm about it what's all this with tiny puff sleeves, they look rediculous

I don't own a green smock top. They look bloody awful, I agree. Puff sleeves are something that are suitable for little girls up to the age of about five years; after that they can look a bit daft.
