KopTalk.com Forums Growler's rant moan rumble 'n' grumble thread.

Well it's back to the road trips to University again tomorrow after a whole two weeks off.
Tomorrows destination is LANCASTER!

At least it's easy to find, but I'd really really appreciate it if Miss G actually knew or even had a modicum of an idea even, as to what she was thinking of doing as a career when she finally gets her degree/s.

Could be the most expensive 3 year party of all time. Approx £60k payable over a maximum of 30 years IF she ever gets a job at the end of this bloody nonsense.
Glad I'm not piggin' payin'

Oh hang on. I already am. £40-50 of fuel for every trip so far, and it's Chester this weekend...nice and local, then piggin' LEEDS next week.

Got stopped by the rozzers in an unmarked car on me way home from the gym tonight.
I was totally goosed after walking the treadmill for 93 minutes whilst watching the match, and took me eye off the speedo.
Stopped me for doing 45 in a 40 limit, (ffs) but truth be known, he really wanted to sniff me breath.
He was sorely disappointed 'cus I don't drink during the week, and only at home at weekends.

Let me off with a warning.

You'd think so with the penny lecture I got.

Really p1ssed off with meself for not being suspicious and more caitious, as I've seen this grey Mondeo sniffing around with rozzers in it a few times over the last few months.
What made ot werse, was the fact that the road was absolutely dead. Didn't see any other vehicle whilst he was following me.
Still did a check on me and the van on his ANPR and kept me waiting whilst he did it.
Only 50 yds from Growler Towers too.

I was SSSSSO SO tempted to say summat along those lines but decided it was better to play the nice apologetic ar5e licker than 3 points and a 60 snotter fine.

Meanwhile, the tw@ts that came absolutely scorching down our road, as mentioned the other night, get clean away with it all day and night long.
Makes me want to puke....violently.

I'd probably have been arrested IF he'd actually nicked me tbh.

Yesterday was a very important day for the Growler household.
Miss G had her entry interview for and at Lancaster Uni.

First thoough, the intro speech, guided tour and then a questions and answers forum for the parents whilst the offspring get grilled individually.

So please pray, do tell us all then Mrs Gormless Selfish Munter, as to why you deemed it neccessary to bring your 18 month old sproglet with you to 'entertain' everyone with the usual sproggy noises whilst the rest of us were TRYING to concentrate and listen to the lecturers?
Final straw for me was when said sprog crawled up alongside me, chortling loudly.
A Growler style huff puff and severe shaking of head with outstretched arms, Luis Suarez style, did the trick however, as the creature was quickly gathered up by its mother, and swiftly exited the arena...40 minutes too late imo.

Although I may have a coconut taken off me for posting in the wrong thread it has to be said that your post just made me happy.

Well I piggin' wasn't.
Bloody serious day and this dork was obviously treating the place as a bloody creche.
I was absolutely staggered that she was there fannying about with grot sprog whilst she should have been listeneing to the important info that was being given out, I mean, what was actually the point for her?

Mrs G was getting twitchy as she could hear me muttering with increasing anger at not being able to listen properly and concentrate.

I was sorely tempted to say something, but the place was mainly full of mums that were turning around and sweetly smiling at the mother and grockle.

Unbloodybelievable.

Oh. Mrs G actually totally agreed with my rant AFTER we came out, but she just didn't want me to cause a scene in the hall apparently.

No, not at all. I'm lovely!

Any normal person that's taking their offsprings education and future seriously should hopefully have felt the same frustration abd increasing anger like me.
I do believe I was actually smouldering when it all finished.

Oh I know it well. Luvlee...when it's not jammed up, as well as the variable speed cams (specs) Truvelos's and bass turd wagons taking 30 minutes to crawl past one another.
Is that experimental ban on wagons overtaking between certain times still in operation, is it obeyed amd does it actually help?
