  1. Sorry you're right. I was listening to it via spotify. My cd does not have beans

    I was trawling amazon last night, and found that on the Japanese version of the album, Beanz and Julie and the Mothman are bonus tracks. So technically, it sort of is on the album, somewhere.

  2. Really enjoying this album, cracking songs all the way through.

     

    Checklist for a good time.

     

    1. Roll down car windows

    2. Put on sunglasses

    3. Put on eez-eh

    4. Crank up volume

    5. Pretend you're this guy:

  3. What the hell. I've never heard of or seen a traffic census before. I thought if they wanted to survey the traffic levels they just put those wires down and the data fed into a computer somewhere.

    They had the wires as well, but they were actually stopping traffic using coppers. Did some googling, looks like it has happened quite a bit around the country, and the normal response is for people to go online and question why the fook they are doing it!

  4. Traffic census around Lutterworth. Took me 25 mins to get from Rugby to Lutterworth, then coming out the other side there was another one! Didn't get home until 7pm. All that gridlock so a bunch of muppets can ask people a survey about how often they drive down the road. If they're collecting data about traffic congestion here's a suggestion - if you didn't stop an entire A-Roads worth of traffic for a questionnaire, then congestion wouldn't be so bloody bad!

     

    With this and the continuing nightmare of those pissing Fosse Park roadworks, it's a wonder I get any free time at all! It's OK though, the Fosse Park roadworks are only going to be there until the Spring. SPRING!!! ARGHHHHH!! :@ :@ :@ :@

  5. To the tune of "Get Lucky"

     

    Try to score in our goal

    You'll get knocked out by our Pole,

    He'll rip you a brand new arsehole,

    You'll never beat Wasilewski

     

    Du Du Du Du Wasilewski

    Du Du Du Du Wasilewski

    Du Du Du Du Wasilewski

  6. Too true BornBlue, the fees when I started renting my new house early this year were ludicrous. They were charging an inventory fee on a per person basis. This is for an inventory of the items in the house belonging to the landlord - why does it have to be per person, there's only one lot of stuff to inventory! What really took the biscuit was the mandatory tenants liability insurance to cover against any damage to the landlord's furniture. This is for an unfurnished property, but according to the letting people, it's company policy. Funnily enough, the estate agents also have a sister company that sells such insurance. Bloody money grabbers!

  7. Was watching an old Only Fools and Horses earlier, so:

    No Income Tax, No VAT

    We Don't Want to have Harry,

    Don't give him the Leicester Job

    Or Pay our money to his dog,

    Piss Off Redknapp,

    Clear off Redknapp,

    Don't Need your crap, Redknapp,

    Cos Nigey P, is all we need.

  8. It wasn't a green car was it? :ph34r: I presume it happened in Syston? :dunno:

    This car looked quite nasty from the back. (In the car park opposite 'Today's Catch' fish bar)

    The culprit makes himself known. Well, it was probably Wymsey's chauffeur anyway. You just can't get the help these days :whistle:

  9. Virgin's fucking call center support. Being bounced between six fucking people is bad enough but when nobody can fucking communicate in the language it just makes my blood boil.

    I'm the most rampantly leftist, open-minded, love-all-the-people tree hugger out there. I take no issue with someone having an accent, someone being from India, Zanzibar, Bristol or the moon. But Jesus Christ, don't employ someone to give telephone customer service if they can't communicate over the sodding phone.

    ****ing cheapskate bastard Richard Branson, stop exploiting foreign markets and bring me someone that knows what I'm fricking asking for.

    Argh. God I hate sounding like such a Daily Mail reader.

    Agree completely with this. Virgin's call centre makes me want to go on a murderous rampage. One time I called up to get ESPN (for the Man City replay) and the guy put me on hold everytime he had to put something in the computer, and it took him 10 minutes each time. It's almost as if the computer was in another fooking building. Also, their internet 'support' staff are the biggest bunch of cockwads around. Always try to claim its a problem at your end, and try and patronise you too. Bah! :frusty:

  10. These days dubs are pretty decent. In the early 90s there were a lot of cheap awful dubs. It can vary depending on the dubbing studio, but for the most part studios use actual actors, as opposed to the bad old days when some dubs sounded like they'd just picked up people off the street.

    Off the top of my head, not only are the Disney Miyazaki dubs good (Liam Neeson in Ponyo is fantastic :D) , but there's shows like Ghost in the Shell SAC, Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist have dubs that are watchable. Nowadays though, with DVDs allowing people to pick and choose as they like, I don't see the point of all the internet Dub vs Sub flamery.

  11. Rehashing this for a cup replay special: To the tune of the Ting Tings 'That's Not My Name'

    I heard Chris Waddle on the TV say

    'Who's the best midfielder on the pitch today?'

    A three letter word isn't hard to say

    so I still can't believe he forgot his name, name, name

    It's not Viera, or David Silva

    Gareth Barry, or Yaya Toure

    It's YUKI ABE, YUKI ABE, YUKI ABE, YUKI ABE

  12. Indeed, it was for clearing. Ironically enough, at one point I was a careers advisor, so I could have given these kids some actual helpful advice.

    It was 9am though, on my day off, so I settled for being gruff, unhelpful and slightly condascending. Do like the idea of stringing the brats along though, evil though it is. :devil:

    To top off the entire debacle, when I phoned DMU to complain they suggested that if anyone else called, to find out eactly where they'd gotten the number from, then to phone some woman back on her direct office number.

    They gave me the wrong number for the direct line, got a computer company instead. :crylaugh:

  13. De Montfort University telling its applicants that my phone number is the number to call for Leicester College. Utter bastards, phone was ringing every 10 seconds this morning, had to disconnect the bloody thing eventually, after dialling the DUM switchboard to have a good old complain at them about what they'd done. :angry:

  14. Staff members standing in the middle of HSBC on Saturday, to 'help' customers, by telling them there's no counter service on Saturday. :frusty:

    If they can employ people to stand around like ****** in the middle of the bank, then get them behind a bloody cashiers desk so they can do something useful FFS.
