all the stress in my life comes from women, all of it. that grinds my gears. having to look after my sick girlfriend who is sick once again because of her crappy diet which is entirely her own fault. my sister and her wedding and everything that comes along with that, if something goes wrong i have to deal with it. even my dog, who is old and dying, is a female. one of the least stressful places in my life, where i never have to listen tobitching and whining, is at work where we have an (almost) all male staff.

so basically, hos be whining is what grinds my gears

flic · 8th July 2008, 17:20

or, you're just bad luck for women

Baal · 8th July 2008, 17:21

Didn't we already establish it was time to give her the flick?

leadinjector · 8th July 2008, 17:25

yeah but then how can i make fun of her for being called farah when the prince of persia movie comes out. no, it will have to wait

GMG? - Non linear cross series replay. Why are they showing Season 1 of Torchwood on 2 just after series 4 of Dr Who started on Prime? If the great unwashed need to see these, I admit they can stand alone, but it makes much more sense in order. At the rate they are going, they'll show the final of Dr Who well before the end of Torchwood, and it will make no sense that there are only 3 Torchwood members left to go the Daleks - or that Jack knows, and has worked with Martha.

I've read that twice, and still have no idea what your gear grind is... I need some coffee...

He's a big Dr Who nerd, and considers watching TV to be a significant event in his life. When the episodes are viewed out of order, it fucks with his obsessive compulsive disorder and he twitches. He should have bought the boxed set.

All interviews I've had for contract roles have been over the phone (due to location). Haven't had an issue yet. In fact, I kinda prefer them.

I think I would prefer a phone interview rather than flying to Syndey for 1 hour, and also having to shave my (first) beard

Plus, getting to and from the Auckland airport is expensive.

Hazmat · 9th July 2008, 20:00

The word "conversate". Especially when used by apparently professional broadcasters.
It's "converse" wigger.

CCS · 9th July 2008, 20:15

Haha, that's a good one, I hadn't heard it before. It's as bad as 'dove' as past tense for dive and 'drug' instead of dragged.

Americans: fucking up the Queen's English since aaaaaages ago!

Drug rather than dragged is a laugh, but dove (dived) is legit.

i hate talking on phones, avoid it at all times if possible. the ONLY person i talk on the phone to out of choice is my mum. other than that ill only ring in an emergency. i cant handle not being able to see who im talking to and what they are doing with their body language.

crocos · 9th July 2008, 23:35

WGMG tonight is that I've still got to wait until 11:30 before I can do my implementation, and then need to wait until whenever the testers finish testing to remove their crap data and set things up so that it starts as-normal tomorrow morning. And I'm then expected to be at work at normal time.

Well at least it's dinner & drinks on work's tab tomorrow night!

Doesn't that just mean that if some dumbarse Americans use a wrong word for long enough, it'll get accepted into their dictionary?

Either way, I refuse to accept it!

people coming to ask you if you have something they need in 10 minutes time and then get shitty when you say you haven't got it.

fuck off.

Paul Henry's stand-ins on Breakfast. Of the four so far (Mark Sainsbury, Simon Dallow, Greg something, Martin Devlin), only Sainsbury has been tolerable. Dallow is as boring as a piece of brown cardboard, Greg was meh, and Devlin is a dick. Wonder who's going to be on next week....

flic · 10th July 2008, 10:38

As long as Alison isn't brought back to replace Pippa

God I hate that woman. She's so hard to look at and her interviewing style is just plain awful. She likes to be mean to people she talk to. I think she thinks it makes her a better journalist for asking the 'hard' questions.

SpaceCowboy · 10th July 2008, 11:46

not really a GMG, but the rock last night that did a reverse wind up your wife (ie. wind up your husband) was pretty harsh... telling the aussie dude living here that his $1000 tax debt in aus has caught up with him, hes being deported, going to jail, not going to be able to complete his apprenticeship, never return to nz, and basicly fucked his entire life up. he was literally crying, thinking his whole life was over. yea, quality radio there.

and no, im dont see anything wrong with the idea behind the segment, but they have lately been pushing it too far.

Agreed, there is more of an art to making up then convincing someone something slightly less soul destroying.
