  • My Life and Times

    I was born in 1939 BC. That's 'Before Computers'. Luckily I survived the following events in my life, such as World War II, The London Blitz, Rationing, and worst of all... Archbishop Temple's School.

    During the mid 1950s I was enjoying Rock 'n' Roll and being a first generation teenager, when suddenly, just like Elvis, I found myself in uniform during 'The Cold War'...and then

    I became 'a family'. Which meant that I sort of missed the 'swinging sixties', but still managed to look a complete prat in the 70s, just like everyone else.

    During the 'Thatcher Years' I lost my hair and a lot of people lost a good deal more. My career fluctuated to say the least as I was demoted, promoted, fired and hired a number of times, but still I managed to stagger on into a welcome retirement and to celebrate 47 years of happy marriage.

People who need a kick up the arse.

Posted by Big John on July 10, 2007

My top twenty in no particular order are …

  1. Those who seem never to have heard of the words … ‘please’ … or … ’thank you’.
  2. People who talk loudly in public places, as if they want everyone to hear their conversation.
  3. Drivers who hold up the traffic in car parks while they manoeuvre their car into a bay between two other parked vehicles, even when there are dozens of empty spaces just a few yards away.
  4. Mobile ‘phone addicts who cannot walk a few yards without the latest ‘Nokia’ glued to their ear.
  5. Supermarket aisle blockers .
  6. The street eaters, who are never seen without a burger in one hand and a can of something in the other.
  7. The same slobs, when the wrapper and the can end up on the pavement (sidewalk).
  8. Morons who’s every other word begins with the letter ‘F’.
  9. Young women displaying large bare bellies, with or without tattoos.
  10. Strangers who want to kiss or hug me. (Excluding young ’busty’ blondes).
  11. Parents who let their little darlings run wild in restaurants.
  12. Arrogant arseholes who are rude to staff in shops, restaurants, etc.
  13. Staff in shops and pubs who think that I am invisible.
  14. All town hall ‘jobsworths’.
  15. ‘iPod junkies’ who would not notice a kick up the arse because they are on some ‘Rap Crap’ other planet.
  16. Bus drivers who give ‘twirlies’ a hard time. (Old folk who try to use their free passes at the wrong time of day … “Am I too early?”).
  17. Tourists who think that shouting in English makes foreigners understand.
  18. Religious nutters who want to ’save’ me.
  19. Cretins who end every sentence with … “Yer know?” … Yer know what I mean ?
  20. ‘Boom Boys’ who drive around ‘treating’ us all to the joys of ‘Hip Hop’.

The above list represents just some of the ‘pains in the bum’ who you might encounter any day of the week. It excludes politicians, ‘celebs’, sports ‘heroes’, ‘er Maj’s mob and others who need more than just a kick up the arse. Perhaps I’ll get around to them when …

…   I’m in a more venomous mood.   :evil:
