another gripe of mine, regarding banks, is a specific one... Firstdirect. :arrr:

 

Money-grabbing bast*rds - who penalise customers for not being rich enough - if you hold less than £1,500 in your current account per month, they charge you. Despicable - I left Firstdirect when they announced this as a matter of principle, not a matter of being any more or less wealthy than they'd like.

WOW, this is turning out to be a great thread.... :lol:

 

I'm gonna pin this topic....

Virgin Broadband - by far the worst of all the providers...... slow, expensive, keeps cutting off.... and have you ever tried to call Virgin (for 25p a minute) and resolve any issues? It's painfully bad.

 

I CONCUR.

 

The interactive part of my tv where you get Movies On Demand hasn't wokred in an aaaage. And my Dad's been phoning up pretty much since the start of last year, all he gets it's "We'll see if we can sort it out." or such...and it STILL doesn't work. So annoying.

and have you ever tried to call Virgin (for 25p a minute) and resolve any issues? It's painfully bad.

 

..Brings us back to my point about these bloody "pay" numbers for utility providers..... <_< I really find it utterly offensive to be expected to pay 25p a sodding minute to call up my service provider that's charging an arm and a leg for a pretty shoddy service anyway....

 

There seriously needs to be some sort of Parliamentary inquiry into these 0845 numbers and how they are used, it's frankly bloody criminal... And "Ofcom" HA!! Fukkin' USELESS at chasing this up..... <_< I'm seriously starting to think that the phone companies should be re-nationalised to stop this sh!t happening....

I'm gonna pin this topic....

 

good idea... this could run and run :)

mines ok.... :unsure:

don't you find it miserably slow compared to, say, BT, though? Mine's currently running at just over 6mbps..... much slower than BT.

 

It makes downloading hell - especially as the internet connection keeps cutting off, too - up to 15 - 20 times a day sometimes.

no m8... mines not slow nor has it ever cut off... well... maybe a couple of times per year.

Political correctness :rolleyes:

What a crock of $h!t :manson: sure that word is not ideal but ffs it is part of the song how can it suddenly be offensive when the song has been about for decades

Political correctness :rolleyes:

This aint Political Correctness mate, it's pure, old fashioned, unadulterated fukkin' CENSORSH!T!!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: They're chopping the best lines from the song, messing around with one of the country's most beloved Christmas anthems. HOW FUKKING VERY DARE THEY.. Sorry, but this is just bloody silly, it's HARDLY the same thing as some rapper b/s like "Yo b**ch, suck my dick" or some Ragga a-hole singing "Me gunna kill dem batty boys".... This is a song about a couple having a blazing, drunken row at Christmas and both giving as good as they get.... It's funny, it sure as hell aint offensive to men, women or gays... I mean, what else you gonna rhyme with " You scumbag, you maggot"....?????

 

Fukkin' BBC have clearly no idea of CONTEXT...... <_< <_<

I've never really had a problem with the word f***** itself, it depends on HOW it's spoken as to whether it's offensive or not. A song about a woman giving as she gets in an argument doesn't really offend me.

This makes me very sad. As people have said, and as with most words, its the context in which they are used which is offensive not the words themselves. Just because the word 'f*****' is used as a derogatory term for gay people these days does not mean gay people are going to find it offensive in this sense. I really think this sort of correctness so as not to offend minorities will only do more harm in the long run. True equality would be to realise that we don't have to pander to minority groups just because they are different.

I'm not as old as my dad [:lol:] but...

 

1. It's stupid that you have to pay to park anywhere in the uk, my dad moans about it all the times. :lol:

 

2. Asian people who work at helplines, etc. For example, I had to phone up about Wireless Broadband (my mum + dad dont have a clue about it all, so I had to do it), and I the people behind the phones really do not have a clue what they are on about, neither can I understand them. :/

 

3. The fact that we and others cant say anything these days without being branded a racist/or just being offensive (check out the recent news on xmas songs. :rofl: )

don't you find it miserably slow compared to, say, BT, though? Mine's currently running at just over 6mbps..... much slower than BT.

 

It makes downloading hell - especially as the internet connection keeps cutting off, too - up to 15 - 20 times a day sometimes.

 

 

 

Ours does that and we're on BT Broadband and did it when we were on Orange until March too. :angry: BT say the line is fine.

Radio 1.

 

They are supposed to be the national station for new music, yet time and again the so called fuddy-duddy Radio 2 beats them to the punch with new artists.

 

As an example they do an annual pre Christmas concert with Sound of next year acts who are not promoted by Radio 1. Last year's concert featured Amy Winehouse & Mika who subsequently had huge success and were then belatedly supported by Radio 1.

 

This year's Friday concert features Adele & Duffy, too acts who've had minimal support by Radio 1. Yet are tipped to be huge in 2008.

 

Another thing with Radio 1 is the ridiculous banning of a song Radio 1 happily played in full for 19 years every Christmas. Don't they realize that the word "f*****" in this context referred to the popular meat ball dish served with a gravy sauce and usually served with mashed poptato & peas (which ironically I had today), that was and remains very popular in Ireland, the Midlands, South West England.

 

However, it is very well known that at times of recession, or during the World War, a lot of offal and fat was included in the mix by butchers, hence cheating the consumer of the legitimate said meat dish. Therefore hence the insult was a reference to being a cheater or a fraud (as confirmed by the lyricist Shane MacGowen on the BBC3 Documentary on the making of the same song, and clearly nothing to do with the other more recent meaning of the word (i.e. when famously used in the (bloody awful) Money For Nothing by the aptly named Dire Straits), when consuming the dish as it was less nutritional and tasty than it should be.

 

Even more ironic that Radio 1 censor the song when they have A Listed the utterly repulsive Crank That by Soulja Boy featuring the following lyrics which have not been censored at all:

 

(yuuuuuuh!!!)

 

soulja boy tell em

 

ayy i got this new dance fo yall called tha Soulja Boy

Oh, nice, Radio 1 has no problems playing an entirely offensive song which is mysoginistic AND manages to be racist too (in its reference to Arabs...). LOVELY!!!! <_<

 

Some fukkin' consistency would be nice..... -_-

 

And isn't it just amazing that when Rap music actually meant something and had something to say, the Beeb were too fukkin' sh!t scared to even play any cuts by the likes of Public Enemy, NWA, Ice-T, Ice Cube, etc....? Nah, they were a bit too rebellious weren't they...? Spoke a bit too much of the truth. Sh!t, people might even have revolted had they heard "Fight The Power", "Black Steel" or "Fukk Tha Police" eh....?

 

Well, this track revolts me for altogether different reasons.... <_< Nowt rebellious about this crock of sh!t.. It's sexism as old as the fukkin' Hills.....

 

 

I hate it when i see road signs being put up in Polish, and emergency services too. Ive got nothing against the Polish themselves and if everything was in English then they would learn english but we will end up with a pernament large majoirty of a Polish speaking population soon

The Sun

 

p***ing me off <_<

 

They are urging their readers to buy toys for Madeleine McCann and hundreds have so far bought toys for Maddie

 

How about urging their readers to buy toys for the THOUSANDS of kids that go missing every fukkin year <_< <_< you would think Maddie is the only fukkin missing child out there and the "paper's" behaviour pretty much sends out a message to the families of every missing kid in this country (thousands of families) that their kid ain't important just bloody Maddie

 

 

Hey Tyler if you want, you and the other American posters can do a similar thread for the US.... :lol:

 

but wouldnt the thread just say: "America is wonderful, its the greatest country on earth. FULL STOP" :lol:

well its has been stated that original Hip-Hop was the black punk music, and if the original meaning of punk in like America in the 60s and 70s, was as in "oh you dumb punk" being really slang for "oh you dumb fuck" then its could be said that that label is apt now for the majority of the new generation of hip-hop that co-exists with modern r&b (the black pop music type) :lol:

so thats obv using the tradition slang American definition of the word :lol: and so dont think thats really about this country [apart from radio 1] more about the global imperialism of american culture and how their culture has steamrlled ours so that our culture is in Sophomore* place behind theres :lol:
