Grumpy old buggers thread

I want to see the word "vibrant" deleted from the lexicon. All too often one sees adverts for places that have a vibrant community, vibrant feel, etc. I've never found such a place.

So we have vibrant & sparked to be deleted. How about outpouring & close-knit? Add them too?

Orbital sander?

Bloody news reporters and announcers who say "GrowEn" instead of grown. :bat:

Drivers who sit on 90, until I overtake them in the truck. then sit up my arse and overtake me then sit on 90.

Cat owners who let their cats roam and crap all over other peoples yards. My fire wood pile stinks like cat urine.[bigsad]:bat:

God I hate people, but I'm not racist as I hate everyone equally [biggrin][biggrin]

I don’t know how you pass those doing 90,because as soon as an overtaking lane appears they usuallybspeed up to 110:bat:

A good dog soon sorts out those cats.
No worries here,she also sorts out those bush turkeys that love to wreck our garden.
Haven’t seen a cat for years,the bush turkeys wander in now and again,but they don’t stay long[biggrin]

I always reverse park, comes from driving a 130, aka The Queen Mary. 130's have the agility of an iceberg.
The work ute isn't much better....

Reversing to park is so much easier on almost everything, and as Larry said, we go straight out.....

Yep, anyone who drives a large vehicle knows it's easier to reverse into a tight spot than reverse out of one.[wink11]

When you're lined up at the smoko truck to buy a paper and the young blokes in front of you think it's some sort of speed dating and want to spend every second of their self appointed 2 to 3 minute window to make an impression on the lunch truck girl.
