G0OSES 1K WHINGING POM Giveaway - CANCELLED (for 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.

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.

you do :+1:

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

Thanks for the GAW and congrats!!!

Thanks for the giveaway!

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

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:

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.

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!

We have a winner here! :laughing:

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:

can only follow that, I got not really understand what this GAW wants me to do

Have a bit of a rant about something in a humorous way.
Maybe people who can’t solder properly or such… :smiley:

Ok, I didn’t forsee this problem - I’ll update the first post with info lol!
It’s a bit of fun, sarcastic moaning griping kinda thing, in a humorous way if possible… :wink: Australians (unlike PP he’s Austrian) :wink: call moaning English people ‘whinging poms’ - since my 1000th post was me ‘whinging’ as PP pointed out - that’s what I thought I’d do for a fun giveaway.

I forgot that sarcasm does not properly translate though, my wife’s Russian and my boss is Polish and I am, unfortunately quite very sarcastic - sadly it is entirely lost on them for the most part.
They either think I’m having a ‘dig’ at them and get offended, or just don’t get it at all and wait for further explanation, which of course ruins the humour. :stuck_out_tongue:
I wonder, and I suppose it must - does it work the other way? presumably Russian people for example have a form of sarcasm that an English person wouldn’t get? or maybe it’s uniquely English? who knows!

Well now look what you’ve done…completely nullified my giveaway entry :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

Awwe now you’re pulling out the big gun insults. I thought it was the US that had a hard time telling the difference :arrow_right: I’m Strayan not Austrian :confounded: I suppose you think we’re just a bunch of criminal descendants too :innocent:

Side note - I did a xc mountain bike race the other year and at the end of it the announcer said “Austria is lovely part of the world with a great mtb scene and also happened to be where all our finishers medals were delivered” :person_facepalming: :laughing: :laughing:

Not at all……! it’s one of my faves so far lol!

Priceless! :smiley:
