What grinds your gears? - Page 112

It doesn't GMG that the Herald is turning into a sensationalistic opinionated propaganda piece (after all, something needs to balance out the DomPost's ooobvious Labour bias!).

What GMG's is that they continue to put themselves forward as an objective news source. They clearly aren't, or at least almost aren't - the editorial bias is frequently apparent. Which is fine! Just stop pretending you don't have an agenda and embrace your partisanship. partisianess. ...one-sidedness.

Objectivity is a wonderful thing - but it's never going to go hand and hand with selling large numbers of papers/generating large numbers of clicks.

because its not sufficient. all it does is replace his text with a message saying hes being ignored. sure, we could demand that simon rewrite the vbulletin ignore code to actually remove the posts from the thread completely, but then the thread wont make sense, and anyway, doesnt get around people quoting the offender.

its easier and usually better to just not ignore anyone, thats how ive found it anyway.

you do realise its entirely possible for your boss to record everything you do on the work computer, dont you?

...he's also got a hidden cam on the toilet, just so he can watch you masturbate.

i saw you on the net.

He could... but why would he go to those lengths?

*Puts on Denny Crane hate*I eat lots of meat. Light fires to keep my place warm. Buy the plastic bags from pak n' save.

Why don't you fuckers sort something out like the amazon being clearfelled or ban disposable nappies rather than how I should reduce the amount of meat I eat to reduce my carbon footprint.

p.s I hate hippies

Nightcrawler · 17th July 2008, 23:01

What grinds my gears is that Clearasil Deep Pore Wash shit they advertise on TV

Used it for 2 days now (once in morning, once in evening), and my face is in fucking agony.
The cheek bones under my eyes are blood red, my face is literally falling to pieces (dead/dry skin all over), and it fucking hurts like shit when I make any form of facial expression

All I wanted was to clean my face, FUCK

That suff is really really dehydrating, try a mild moisturiser to ease the pain, aloe vera based would be good.

Nightcrawler · 17th July 2008, 23:28

Will grab some tomorrow (with aloe vera), thanks. Uni starts on Monday and I really don't want to have a fucked face

Also, it goes without saying, but stop using the clearasil shit.

It won't get better if you just persevere, as it sounds like you've had a sensitivity reaction to it. It's really drying and many people have a reaction to it. You might want to try the clearasil sensitive skin range?
FWIW - Aveeno is a really fantastic moisturiser. It's available from the supermarket, and is hypoallergenic while being very effective.

2c.

lektronimo · 18th July 2008, 00:06

I've just unground a gear - embedded flash was killing my computer, turns out FF3 and Adblock Plus block the embedded content as well as other shit. Simple button press fixed the whole two week old saga...

Edit: spoke too soon... back to fucked yet again.

Definitely won't be touching it again! Aveeno sounds familiar, will check it out tomorrow - thanks

Reformed_Quint · 18th July 2008, 10:06

HAHAHAHAHA Sensitive skin! HAHAHAHAHA.

ooooooo hahahaha. Fuck thats funny.

I use 400 wet and dry as my face cleaner, it works mean.

chiquelet · 18th July 2008, 10:23

If you want a good cleanser and are willing to pay slightly more than supermarket prices, I recommend Lush. They have fresh cleansers that only last a few weeks (flag that) but they have some bars to suit all types of skin, some especially for men. Plus you can try before you buy (they have a basin in store).

That place smells like Two Dollar Shop aftershaves. Most repulsive shop to walk past only due to the strong smells. Actually, that is a GG. Walking past Lush on Queen Street.

chiquelet · 18th July 2008, 11:00

As a whole the shop reeks, but not all their stuff smells like a cheap hooker.

SpaceCowboy · 18th July 2008, 11:12

GMG: i pull up to an T intersection, turning right. suv approaches around the corner ahead of me, so i wait. and wait. hes going 35. by this time i could have safely turned, but not now, so i continue to wait. i say to myself, "you better put on your indicator if youre intending to turn". i wait. he starts turning without even attempting to give way. i swear loudly.

thank you very much mr "c 186" aka cockbag extreme.

Rince · 18th July 2008, 11:47

^^ people at UNCONTROLLED T-intersections that fail to give way to right turning traffic on their right, that are also turning right... GMG au!

CCS · 18th July 2008, 15:07

This old cunt grinds my gears. I can't believe how lightly he seems to be taking the whole thing and that he actually wants to keep driving! Stupid old bastard didn't manage to turn anyone into a corpse, but he easily could've. I hope he doesn't get his license back - he's dangerous.

flic · 18th July 2008, 15:13

I posted the original story about that in this thread and was just about to update it with what you've posted.

What REALLY GMG this time is the "I've been driving for 80 years and this is my first accident"

and Not knowing that there such a thing as WINDSCREEN WIPERS to get excess water off when a truck sprays water onto your car.

Jesus Christ on a stick. Just stop the car and sort yourself out, don't follow what you think is the right way by looking for a white line on the road.

It's only luck he didn't kill anyone

Mickey · 18th July 2008, 16:07

Having to go back to work on Monday GMG, school holidays should be longer.

I study extra-murally, and frankly, school holidays suck, 2 weeks break to recover? Bullshit, give me 20 mins.

You would think so.

Fucken pay review is still to come

Apparently it just gets decided on by management, we don't actually get to discuss it. So I guess they say what I'll get (if anything) and I like it or lump it. Gee, I hope it's at least more than inflation.

Man, that sucks! We don't get to discuss ours, so when we had our last review I denied the payrise i was offered (was fuck all) and pissed and moaned untill they agreed to how much I wanted!

Doing it again end of this years, Daddy needs new shoes.

I can't believe that show got given a second season. They didn't solve anything in the first one, didn't even come close. Makes me laugh at people at work are obsessed with it.

People who don't keep left on the footpath. Walking to work yesterday on an otherwise empty sidewalk and the two bitches push past me as I'm keeping to the left. Fuck, if it's a good enough rule for the road, it's good enough for the footpath.

Takes about 2 - 3 weeks to get used to it. But there is never enough time to get use to NYC drivers.
