Don't get me wrong, significant speeding is out of order but seriously there will be more accidents due to this trend if not sniffed out!!

I just feel sorry for all the Mercedes and BMW owners I see on the motorways. Spend all that money on a car and the speedometer doesn't work. You'd think they'd complain, but perhaps they don't realise. Whistle

Stairs, surely this gripe is bordering on political, the police force sorry police service the word force is to aggressive are no longer independent but are run by politicians, therefore political, also the lack of police action on red light jumpers, suicidal cyclists, dangerous driving, defective and dangerously maintained vehicles etc is due to government cuts, not taking sides I hate all politicians and the PC brigade making every call an emergency because someone used banned language or had a jam jar soft toy in their bedroom preventing normal patrolling and minor offences being dealt with.

Reasons not to be cheerful (Part 1) (with apologies)
Dog sh*t left on my front lawn; people eating Rhino horn
Broken signs never mended; carp cafes recommended
Medals for undeserving; Not tipping those serving
Children drinking dirty water; Doing things I shouldn’t oughta
Losing a tenner and finding a fiver; being all a bl**dy mither
Getting older, getting fatter; knowing it doesn’t really matter
Thinking I’m right when wrong; being weak and never strong
Typing carp on Baggies forum; Having no sense of decorum
Not giving a sucker an even break; chucking my clubs in the lake
Being a Hitman for Jellytots; procrastinating lots and lots
And on and on and Ariston…………

I can't stand the way they say Happy Holidays here instead of Merry Christmas.  I get it that there are multiple faiths with multiple holidays at that time of year but why is anyone offended at me wishing them a Merry Christmas??  That is a greeting that should never cause any offence to anyone and is never said with ny malice, its purely made up PC gone mad

The pink and fluffy left banned Christmas trees they were winter festival trees.

My rant ..... I hate the greed league and all it stands for, the bias in the governing bodies which allow the rich to get richer and dominate all competitions, the bias of the media and most of all I hate the refusal to adopt a video referee because it would prevent the FA's little elite gentlemen's club of 6 to cheat, dive, con the officials to cement their already dominant positions and prevent fair play and a level playing field.

This worked for me  Big Grin

So I’ve checked with my legal adviser and on his advice I wish to say the following to all friends and colleagues.

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practised with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practices of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practise religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2017, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make our country great (not to imply that Great Britain is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.

It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Disclaimer: No trees were harmed in the sending of this message; however, a significant number of electrons were slightly inconvenienced.

OK, here's another one:
Managers ("coaches ") who, when their team scores, don't show any emotion. If I was their chairman I'd sack em!
