The little things in life that fuck you off

[Smjffy]

There's a teenage boy having what I presume to be a party in next door's garden (on a Monday night, as you do), and there is some form of music booming out with which I am really not familiar. It sounds somewhat like hip hop but there's nobody rapping on it that I can hear, and all the noises sound like nuclear power plant warning sirens, or just the general sound of an industrial hellscape, but to a defined beat.

What am I having to listen to?

Pretty much any track today. It all sounds the same.

[mugbull]

Some sort of dubstep. Maybe trap. It’s probably really good too

I'd have some money on a variation of Dubstep.

[bruhnaldo]

Is it this? The first 30 seconds sounds just as described lol

[Baz]

Shazam it. I really wanna know.

I'm in Surrey, it'll be shite.

Shreck Wes - Mo Bamba

[Offshore Toon]

Sounds like it'll be some American EDM crap.

[mugbull]

I think thats the most popular song “with kids these days”

Has James moved?

Shreck Wes - Mo Bamba

Sounds more like some cunt has stolen an Ice cream van.

[Baz]

Shreck Wes - Mo Bamba

That song is 99% lyrics.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That one was a bit more mainstream sounding than some of their set list. They were still going at 00.30 and then broke off for a spell of 'We like to drink with knobhead, cos knobhead is our mate', I'm surprised they didn't get firebombed by some of the pensioned off boomers in our road.

[Spoonsky]

Mo Bamba is the #1 frat song in America, or at least it was six months ago. The music video is interesting, it features the main guy pretending to be disabled for no apparent reason.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck Gardens, fuck strimmers, fuck grass, fuck trees, fuck hedges, fuck bushes.

[bruhnaldo]

What in the fuck is a strimmer

[bruhnaldo]

Lmao yo they called a weed-eater a fuckin "strimmer" what's up with this country man lol

[randomlegend]

We don't need to give things the kind of literal names that 3 year olds do in order to cope, since we aren't retarded.

[Bam]

Yeah weed-eater is a much better term than strimmer.

[SincereTheRebel]

Whoever came up with the name for walkie-talkie should have been given the freedom to name everything.

[bruhnaldo]

Yeah weed-eater is a much better term than strimmer.

I'm sensing sarcasm in this post but come on now "weed-eater" sounds a lot more bad ass.

[phonics]

Welsh is good for that as they've had to invent words for anything invented post 1500s. Board Smoothio(Ironing Board) and Poppity-Ping (Microwave) being my favourites.

[bruhnaldo]

Board Smoothio(Ironing Board) and Poppity-Ping (Microwave)

shut the fuck up you're joking

[bruhnaldo]

This Welsh bit kills me:

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch (llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooll-llandus-ilio-gogo-goch), usually shortened to Llanfair-pwll or Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, is a Welsh word that translates roughly as "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the Red Cave"

Man WHAT

[Pepe]

Weed eater? I thought they were called weed whackers.

[bruhnaldo]

The word is so long the stupid script forces a space.

[bruhnaldo]

Weed eater? I thought they were called weed whackers.

A string trimmer, also called a "weed eater", "whipper-snipper", "weed-whacker", a "weed-whip", a "line trimmer" (in Australia and New Zealand) or a "strimmer" (in the UK and Ireland

Weed-whip sounds kinda hot tbh

[phonics]

This Welsh bit kills me:


Man WHAT

It's a stupid language that barely anyone speaks. Here's a road sign that was about 50m from my house there:



I'm sure you understand the English but the Welsh says 'I am not in the office at the moment. Send work for translation and I'll get back to you'.

Cxtch was my favourite which can range from basically a hug to netflix and chill. You could just throw it out there and see how far you got.

[bruhnaldo]

This reminds me of the time ya'll taught me the Koreans refuse to add words to their language so they just use English words randomly to describe things.

[Disco]

How about Germans and their compound words.

[phonics]

This reminds me of the time ya'll taught me the Koreans refuse to add words to their language so they just use English words randomly to describe things.

Most languages do this. The weekend is 'le weekend' in French, all the french you know like deja vu, bon appetit, etc. is a hold off from when French was the dominant language rather than English.

[Disco]

A good bit of post-Norman tongue.

[Shindig]

I need to like, finish learning German. Seems like a damn sight easier than the lad off work who's now spending an extra two months (on top of the six he's already taking) to learn Japanese.

[phonics]

Why? I can't think of a less useful language to learn. If I was going to learn an Asian language I'd choose Korean over Japanese though.

[Spikey M]

It isn't capable of discerning what is and isn't a weed and it doesn't eat anything. Stupid name.

I must have been heading for fluent at one stage because of that show.

[bruhnaldo]

i had a Spanish only patient come in and I said "oh lo siento mi espanol es muy terriblé uno momento" and gestured that I was gonna call someone who spoke Spanish

Ol' girl was giving me these spicy looks like oh I can't believe this like... dude I'm accomodating you to the best of my ability, there's no real issue, you're literally coming in to apply for free public benefits (which you are entitled for but again.. idk, i don't think I'm the one you should be being snotty with when I'm literally trying to help you.)

Like bro give me a break man I'm doing the best I can and everything is fine? The process didn't take any longer than it would've otherwise.

People suck ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Back to shitty school traffic

[Jimmy Floyd]

It turns my commute from 10 to 40 minutes. Especially as there are loads of private schools around here and you won't see precious little Johnny risked on any kind of public transport, you need the Land Rover to take him a mile.

[SincereTheRebel]

It really is a massive inconvenience. Just send them to school via foot patrol.

[Giggles]

In this day and age with all their shite about health they should be forcing kids to walk (if the infrastructure is there) if they're within a certain radius. But of course it's easier, and more lucrative, to tax a can of coke.

[Yevrah]

Was it stranger danger that started it all?

When I was younger and probably a bit before that it seemed commonplace for all kids above about 6 to walk to school. They were all in groups so no issues.

[SincereTheRebel]

From what ive been told, parents used to leave their children outside the shop in a pushchair while they went into the shop. Did their weekly shopping for 30 minutes and come back out to their child still in the same place they left them.

You could never do that today. The world is a scary place.

[igor_balis]

I walked to and from school solo from like 7, but it was only a mile or so.

[Smjffy]

It was probably common place back then too but cameras and media plus the internet means we hear all the worst stuff. It's always been a fucked up crazy world.

[Yevrah]

Yep, there's absolutely no way wrong uns only appeared or grew exponentially in number after 1990.

Yes you could. Well, you couldn't, but not because someone would steal your child, but rather because some do-gooder would call the cops and they would take your child away from you.
