Giveaways and Contests

I don’t need the prize (thanks anyway) but I need a good whinge. (Another fun gaw)

This #@&¥ing virus just s#!7 all over the place and nobody has any big roll

:neutral_face:

6

I’m trying not to whine at present…. but, I am grumpy about the postponed, maybe canceled F1 events. Everything up to and including Monaco is on hold.

7

First, congrats on your +1000 posts and thanks for the GAW :wink:

:smiling_imp: And… since you’ve asked:

- My butt hurts for being sat so much time in the last days :rage:

- I don’t have enough beer for the quaratine but even if I had it, I wouldn’t have my friends to do a toast and I don’t like to drink alone :beer:

- The people are stupid and leave trash bags in the balcony, so seaguls and pidgeons lift it up, throw it to the streets and start fighting and chirping :expressionless:

- To fend off the seaguls I have to pick my laserpointer, go to the window, point it to them and meanwhile I lose the BLF updates :cry: :smiley:

- I don’t have enough materials (drivers mainly) to mod the lights I want to I am bored as hell, and the series I follow don’t spit episodes everyday… :zipper_mouth_face:

- I don’t like tantric but I only see my girlfriend through video calls nowadays :person_facepalming:

  • I still don’t have enough beer to forget about this last point :weary:

IS THIS ENOUGH RANT?! DID I WIN? :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

[Disclosure: I am also on lone isolation :person_facepalming: ]

EDIT: I’m a whinging POM

Fair dinkum mate, but I think you’ll be ok in Oz -

LOL you’re in the running!
For a minute there I thought you were my next door neighbour when you mentioned seagulls! (long and funny story - lets just say they like to return to his chimney each year - I pray for their return even though they are noisy - completely outweighed by it being so comical to watch.)

10

Eheh, thanks for accepting my ranting entry and for the generous GAW, in these times of contention! :wink:
Here in my city, Porto, which is “close” to the sea, seagulls are a constant, as are pidgeons. During the night they wake me up when flying in bands due to the noise they do! They stay in chimneys, balconies, streets, roofs…wherever they can land. Seek for trash, other food…or pidgeons !

Well, at least they gave me a motive to move and leave my chair :stuck_out_tongue:

Stay well mate :+1:

I’m really not much into whining. It actually infuriates me when people whine. But since you asked so nicely… :wink:

I’m sick of this coronavirus crap. Not to sound callous, because I know people have died and that truly is sad and not to be taken lightly. But if I were any less centered, there might be a few less people in my house by the time this “social distancing” is done. I love my wife and 5 kids. But being cooped up with them inside (it’s cold and rainy and will be that way for quite a while) is getting old fast. Being in Illinois, all schools are shut down. The church where my wife works is shut down. I don’t dare take the youngin’s to daycare. Work (a great company actually) had asked me to work from home. And since the schools are closed, they switched to “e-learning”. Which means the teachers get to assign a bunch of assignments and I get to teach them to my kids and administer homework. So… I’m supposed to be “working”, teaching my kids, running a day care, maintaining the house (dishes, laundry, etc), being the cook, etc, etc. I’m glad I have a stockpile of venison to live on and a couple hundred bottles of homemade wine to help keep me from blowing a head gasket. :rage:

Whew, I’m done now!

I’m a whinging POM because

I bought a new laptop just before a lockdown where I live but had to send it back due to hardware issues :person_facepalming: That said, I know lots of people are affected and there more concerning problems that what happened to me and hope this all blows over soon.

Also, I still hate stock clips that come with flashlights.

13

I hate over sensitive people, I hate narcissistic people , I hate paying good money for stuff that don’t work properly,I hate people who lie ,I hate these morons who’s going round panic buying , I hate China’s generosity for giving us the gift of covid19 ,I hate macaroni cheese , I hate getting up early ,I hate people who think having a big or flashy car makes them think they’re superior to anyone else,I hate being cold , I hate feeling too hot, I hate cheap coffee, I hate tea with no sugar in it,I hate silly rules ,I hate anduril, I hate uncomfortable chairs ,I hate Facebook ,I hate people who whine too much, I hate shoddy workmanship,but what I hate most of all is when there’s a competition the prize money is in dollars instead of pounds.
Apart from that I’ve not really got anything to whine about ,so I’m not sure if I qualify.

14

you do :+1:

15

I’m a whinging POM because I want to be the winner!!! XD XD XD

Thanks for the GAW and congrats!!!

16

Thanks for the giveaway!

Being stuck inside just sucks. I’m down town so I can’t even head out into nature.

17

I have to say this idea is absolutly stupid !
Ranting and grumbling is not something people should make fun of !
You know what ? Some of my colleagues call me Grandpa and these poor idiots don't do it because i'm always providing them with some of the knowledge and wisdom i have accumulated among years but because they feal i am some kind of grumpy rambler ... Stupid folks !
And the worse thing about it is that my old dad, who was a REAL grumbler, got the exact same nickname from is own colleagues more than forty years ago while i can assure you i am nothing like a grumbler or a ranter compared to him !
That "like father like son" thing is just perfect nonsense and i'd have an easy time proving it if only i would ! You just don't deserve my time !
What do you say ? I am not whinging ?
Of course i am not whinging !
I hate whinging people ! So please stop this idiot contest immediatly and give me the prize !

I’m a whinging POM’ Silly

All the stores are out to toilet paper, waaaaa, waaaaaa, boooo hooo, hooo, cry, cry, cry, blaaaah, blaaah, blaaah. I spent two tears in South East Asia mostly in the countryside provinces, where there’s only a hole in the ground and a bucket of water. I don’t need no stinkin’ (literally) TP. I have running water and a shower in every bathroom. So, cry me a river, people that don’t have a years stockpile of TP in their garage. Cry me a river, a big stinkin’ river boooooo hooo hooo!

:smiley: how was that for whining. LOL.

‘I’m a whinging POM’ :stuck_out_tongue:

21

I’m a whinging POM because…

Well this contest irritates the snot outta me, because I have no idea what a whinging POM is. Must be a Brit thing. Couldn’t you have been a little more sensitive to others elsewhere in the world? Whatever.

22

The useless politicians are passing ordinances like crazy to keep the illusion they are important! In town, no groups of more than ten people are allowed. Up here in the mountains you never see ten people in a day, so they’re passing an ordinance that you are not allowed to talk to yourself… groan, that’s the stupidest bit of whining I ever heard.
There I go again, talking to myself.
Oh, and keep your stupid prize, nobody needs to buy yet another flashlight!

23

We have a winner here! :laughing:

24

Ohhh that’s gooood! so good I really can’t tell if you are serious or not, although it doesn’t really matter lol……… specifically the last bit…… it is either top notch sarcasm, which might fly over some peoples heads, or you genuinely are annoyed and the fact that it IS sarcasm that only some would get has passed right over your head whilst typing it and made me chuckle either way lol. :+1: :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:
