JS_FFC Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) The most annoying TV/radio adverts are the ones where they take the tune of a popular song but change the words to suit whatever shite they’re trying to plug. The current compare the market/cafe Nero advert (to the tune of Shania Twain’s “Man, I feel like a woman”) has me wanting to go down Edinburgh Zoo at night and throttle all of the meerkats.

You should be looking out for good, hard-working, proper BRITTISH pensioners who can't get up 'til the bus stops in case they fall over and break a hip and can't get seen at the hospital due to all of the immergants taking all the beds and not staffing our hospitals anymore. Being between 21 and 50 I'm only c**t paying to be on that bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After initially disliking them I am now a fan after getting used to them and mastering the art of taking the top off and putting it back on using one hand. . No danger now of losing the top under your feet when having a drink when driving. @Inanimate Carbon Rod, here's one! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_Linux Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 On those shows about folk looking to move somewhere like Spain they always use the place having an ex-pat population as a selling point.

Excuse me m9 I'm trying to leave normal island to get away from these folk. Tell me about it. One of the beautiful things of rural Thailand is I see no foreigners unless I travel 20 miles into Singburi town and there is only a few there, and just presume they are lost. f**k staying in a tourist hub...not for me. I know folk that stay in these places, cant speak a word of the local lingo, have a full English every morning and they think this is what all of Thailand is like. Arseholes they lot. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun" has taught me anything it's that these ex-pat communities are full of Union Jack shagging, Royal loving fuckwits and IMO the more of these folk who f**k off out of this country to live in sunshine and squalor in Spain, the better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite as bad in the Philippines as it's much more American than British in terms of ex-pats. There is one English guy around the corner from me but I haven't spoken to him in years (mostly because he was stuck in Hong Kong during the pandemic). In the local mall the few ex-pats there are usually give each another a nod of the head but that's as far as it goes. I'll admit that from time-to-time I miss have a few beers while watching the football with a fellow Brit but those are few and far between. It's a kind of solitary life but the pros well outweigh the cons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
