Grumpy old swingers

19 Jan 2005

This is a thread we all need, somewhere to let loose all those pent up aggressions for the shear stupidity of the world. I for one am the have a ton of things to add to this list, but here I will start the ball rolling with what pissed me off most today.
GNER provides a â€œquiet coachâ€ where no mobile phones are permitted, people are asked to talk with respect for fellow passengers. Noise pollution is a no-no, yet today, I had to suffer a couple of pretentious, stuck-up flucks who could not compete enough with each other, as to who had the most money â€œ...of course when I am entertaining I always keep a reserve of ChÃ¢teau Baron Fillon 58â€ says tosser No.1 â€œGood year, but I tend to use any old wine I have left in the cellarâ€ says stuck up bitch No. 2. The train was delayed due to an accident, and every announcement the guard made, they talked over (louder than they did previously) then said â€œI did not hear what he said, they should annunciate clearlyâ€ One hour of â€œI just bought the most sublime piece of artâ€ and â€œyou can not get me away from an antique auctionâ€ had me coughing â€œhhrrgggBULLSHITâ€

and calm....aaaaahhh

I remember hearing a true story very similar and the bloke having to listen to all the crap had a bit of coin himself so joined in the conversation and let them know how much he had got and compared wealth with them. He then proceeded to take out of his pocket a 10p piece and told the mouthiest one he would toss the coin for everything he had against what he had, of course he declined and he told them you may have alot but you aint got balls. I think what he meant was that money is all they had and a person is made of more than that.

I like that idea of confronting people like that, but although I complain of there egotism, it kept me entertained for a rather long journey, and I can remember almost everything they said. It was purely down to their upperclass accent that "grated my goat".
I felt like a grumpy old man, on that train (purely british) quietly seething away as these "people" flaunted the spirit of the "quiey coach" ethos. Perhaps I should have just farted really loudly, then the entire coach could have sunk into a nice "quiet" embaressed silence.

I hate it when I go to the cinema, we pay over Â£6 each to get in then if we want a drink and other stuff it costs over a tenner evil

There is no indication as to when we will be let in to the actual screen so have to keep checking with the staff.
once in our seats we then have to sit through 20 minutes of adverts and trailers before our film starts, then......I have to put up with somebody constantly whispering mad

:x
Surely a cinema with ten screens could offer numbered seats, I could then get there in time to see the film without the other C**P.

The actual story involves the Australian billionaire, Kerry Packer. Packer is a legendary gambler and whilst in a casino (probably in Vegas) the guy sitting next to him kept on going on and on about how much he was worth. Packer eventually tired of this and asked him exactly how much he was worth. The answer was $50m.. So, Packer takes out a coin and offers the toss of a coin for the lot... Bragging matey leaves somewhat humbled.

well I wont say that the extra coin wouldn't be nice (starts thinking about a real nice club he could open smile

) but at the end of the day, whats money good for....it cant buy you the love of your friends and family, and to my mind, even tho I dont see them as often as I would like to, I am the richest man in the world because I have my kids who love me
