Come on
I'm with Monty here, it sounds shite. I glimpsed about 15 seconds of it and that was enough, off it fucking went. Why is it more of a hassle to dislike,opt out of not be consumed by modern day TV/music/film phenomenon. People frown and call you a killjoy, a bore, too fussy, no fun, a cunt etc all because you refuse to put your nose in the communal comedy trough.

I went home last night and the wife asked if i wanted to go and see Frankie 'fucking' Boyle. NO, i retorted, then she said how she knew i wouldn't want to go, and how i never wanted to do anything, etc et fucking cetera. I made my excuses and left the room before the real bile started to flow.

I'm sick to fucking death of having to defend my position and outlook when it comes to swimming against the current, or even just maintaining my position, as opposed to being swept along with the giggling masses. Have a good time at karaoke, go to a fucking ceilidh, enjoy a night at a 'comedy' club, by all means. I don't have to, and neither do I have to defend my reasons for not wanting to. I won't have a serious go at you for wanting to do these things, some gentle ribbing perhaps, but not a serious *hands on hip*, "Why, why, WHY" episode.

I'm away to for some mini fucking cheddars and a valium.

I'm pretty sure Monty can stand up for himself, but thanks for your valuable contribution

I was venting from my own crushing experiences, but thanks for your online validation.

No worries, see my new thread and unleash some hatred in a different way

That I most certainly can.
However my esteemed colleague Cancer here invariably speaks complete sense if you ask me - with the exception of the 'wearing a band's t shirt to their own gig' debate.....

Which side is he on? I would never wear a band t shirt to one of their gigs, I might purchase one there, but wouldn't wear it that night
Just seems a bit wrong

I think I may require clarification on this debate Monty
I did wear a special Faust t-shirt to one of their gigs one time, but that was because there was only about 40 of them made AND it got me into the gig for free.

Other than that I tend to wear obscure Krautrock t-shirts to modern electronic gigs, and modern electronic style t-shirts to obscure krautrock gigs. Cross pollination.


(as far as i can remember)

I get where you are coming from
I hate a lot of stuff, but I quite enjoying unleashing bile-filled diatribes about it.

similarly, if I've enjoyed something then I quite enjoy trying to persuade people that they might as well.

although in this case, I doubt Monty would enjoy glee. doesn't mean I'll stop.

Has it crossed your mind you might just be a miserable cunt?

Fair play.
It just smacks a bit of 'Grumpy Old Men'.
