Pet Peeves

[open face surgery]

I love that Them Crooked Vultures album, fair play to Mr grohl on that one.

Yep. Class as well.

[Eoin McLove]

His drumming in Nirvana was really good. Foos are irrelevant to me but I liked the first album when it came out. I haven't heard it in a couple of decades and more at this point though.

The Probot album was cool.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

A second Them Crooked Vultures album would have gone down a treat.

I'll make it a pet peeve that they didn't make one.

[Squigs]

The best thing about the Probot album was the free CD that came with Metal Hammer witn tracks from artists featured on it. First time I heard Procreation of the Wicked. Game changer.

This fixation with using the word sir. Like...I salute you sir for blah blah.some guy here was recommended somewhere to park and he thanked you sir for the tip,  what a load of bollocks

Think that's a BDSM thing or an American thing. Although I do remember it being used like "you sir, are a complete idiot"

[John Kimble]

The only person who annoys me more is the wonky headed fucker from Slipknot. And Tenacious D of course. Right pair of fucking fannies.

Agreed on those two. Particularly the Slipknot lad, seems to have an opinion on everything and posits himself as some kind of authority on metal...some of the bland, inoffensive shite he has put out over the years, he has absolutely no right to think so highly of himself.
And yes, bland and inoffensive sums up the Foo Fighters completely. But I can't dislike Grohl. Always thought he came across as a nice guy, with a genuine interest in heavy music.

But onto today's Pet Peeve...cars

Doesn't seem that long ago that I was a young fella, learning to drive, thinking that getting a licence and a car would be the absolute pinnacle.

Twenty odd years later and I hate the fucking things. Last week, car due in for NCT and all going swimmingly until a warning pops up on dashboard that right dipped headlight is out. Cue panic as NCT is in a few hours and this will be a guaranteed fail. Brought the car into my usual garage (and yes, normally I would change a lightbulb myself but under pressure here), only to be told that for whatever reason, the old lightbulb had practically welded itself in and they'd have to take out all the casing around it...but not today as they were fully booked out and the job would take a while.

I brought the car to the NCT anyway, as I'd already booked. Predictably it failed but I was allowed to avail of a retest, as per usual. Managed to get the car back into the garage and they sorted out the light. All good.

Driving today, lo and behold new warning pops up. Left dipped headlight is gone. FML.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

People, even on here, used to say stuff like "You sir deserve a pint!" all the fucking time. Pretty sure none of them got it from BDSM... though ya never know!

I work with a lad and he's all "hello sir, no problem sir, what way shall I do that sir" and here's me beside him with the "Well lad what are ya at" getting better results and having a bit of craic with the clientele. Fair enough it's shirt and tie shit but yer man makes me sick listening to him the stiff cunt

[Eoin McLove]

I was at the bank years ago and standing in line I hear the worker calling the man in front of me sir.

Thank you sir, have a nice day. Next please.

I walk up to the counter. Hi.

Hey pal. How's it going today dude. What can I do for you man?

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO SIR, CUNT! 

Also, is sir (ser) not a real Nordie thing?

Aye, ser. Rightly, ser. Heysabaytyee, ser!

Drugs.

The quality has severely dipped in the last few years with the advent of internet shit.

I mean, I can eat within 3 days of a session these days, which is frankly bullshit.

Yokes aren't yokes, speed isn't speed and as for the acid.... can fuckin keep it.

If only I could make my own

Weed is gone too strong, the sativas have ya jumping out of your skin and the indicas would fucking knock ya out.

[Carnage]

Fucking freezing (literally) out and I'm sitting here listening to black metal. Which would be grand but I've no fire on because the chimneys are getting cleaned in the morning, and every time a track from Frost comes on I automatically feel that little bit colder.

[Don Gately]

You sir are cold.

Yep that's a lot of what's about too and I get the same buzz off it. Kinda ruins the enjoyment. There's some wonderful hashes tipping around though
