View Full Version : Grumpy ranting
WARNING: :rant: :offtopic:
As if there wasn't enough to deal with I've just experienced a new peril on the roads of Bristol city centre - chewing gum. Not only does it slowly collect other c**p off the road but it also then takes bloomin' ages to get off tyres once safely locked up in my badly-spelt-poorly-executed-chav-graffiti-ridden garage.
Knowing my luck, the day will come when chewing gum on my front tyre picks up a crushed coke can and flings it at some unsuspecting pedestrian who then persues me through "claims direct" because they (genuinely for the first time in their wasted life) can't work anymore.
The regeneration of Broadmead (why bother, it's only going to be full of chavs and drunks) has turned the area into a scene from "Black Hawk Down" and gridlocks roads to and from the M32 every morning. I communte by car so my 9 mile journey now takes an hour. I can't afford the insurance to commute by bike. Just build one f*** off big Lidl and be done with it I say.
Note to self: Avoid Bristol city centre at all times - it's a sh*thole anyway.
Oh and one more thing; Tw*ts on mopeds! :nomore:
Glad you got that off your chest! :lol:
Never had a problem with chewing gum myself.
Enjoyed the metaphors?
Cheers, this was the censored version.
How do you actually get chewing gum off of your tyres?
Does the old Ice Cube trick work?

Yep its a waste of time and money, but it makes filtering fun!
But hey if you think thats bad come to Swindon, theres no development here and making it look like a scene from Black Hawk Down will be a big improvement.
As for the Gum, surly it should make your tyres more grippy :wink:

Like Squirrel traffic, roadworks and streetfurniture are just all the more fun to play with. I'll admit tho I only go to the centre or through on the bike now. Hopeless in the car.
if you think thats bad come to Swindon
I worked and "resided" in Swindon for 7 years. I was going to say I lived there, but I don't want to exagerate.
I bet you can blast along the great western way though :twisted:

Yes we do have nice countryside with miles and miles of twisty roads with very little traffic upon them.. though a slight over population of sheep causing the odd panic moment mid-corner... :lol: dodgy road surfaces at best on what would be excellent roads otherwise..... and generaly an ice cream van every mile or so.. (not a bad thing!) and a language you lot cant understand! :P :lol:

Rich doesn't need to sit down.
I think the joke may have been a little rude. It may have contained references to using ice cubes to "get off".
Whatever that means. :-dd
Will you lot stop Hijacking my post!!!!
I'm raising a serious issue - as a biker I find chewing gum on my tyres hard to swallow; you may be happy to stick to the middle of the road on this but I'm not :)

Can't say 'much' with a tyre in your trap, it sounds like 'nuch' :lol:
Oh well, maybe a tangent too far :oops:
Oh well, maybe a tangent too far :oops:
Not even close Beenz,
A tangent too far would be me linking this to my memory of being back at Uni, truly ROFLMAO as my mate and I listened to an audio tape of the Muppet Show in which Gonzo played his rendition of "flight of the bumble bee" by repeatedly biting a bicycle inner tube. The fact that we were off our faces at the time may have helped the comedy effect.
Kermit was a Frog, Fozzie was a Bear, Miss Piggy was a Jade Goody lookalike, but what the hell kind of creature was Gonzo anyway?????

Bingo! :wink: :lol:
I always thought that Gonzo was a kind of ugly Rooster, he was always chasing after the chickens, now i think about it I'm not so sure, as cross species romance was ok for the muppets.

And considered acceptable in Wales, or so I understand.

He is infact an alien. Tis true, he didn't find out until Muppets in space 1 or 2.
But as a tip to eveyone if you want to check this fab fact don't do it at work, you never know what Gonzo might return...

See how the tangent twists and turns away from the orginal topic; it's the conversational equivalent of a Curly-Wurly, which we all know is nothing like the orginal topic - that had soft nougat and hazlenuts.
Incidentally, my old Mum is quite fond of Topics, but dislikes chewing gum.
...3, 2, 1 ...and you're back in the room, and we're back to the orginal subject.
