I predict this could be leading up to a 'Kerching's biggest ever gripes and moans list in the world, Christmas eve bonanza!'.  So I would advise all members accessing the forum via their mobile phone to top-up their data allowance if you want to appreciate the full context of the whole list, that will undoubtedly increase over the coming days. I do know that our forum tech-support "Deke & his dog" are working 24/7 to increase bandwidth for the anticipated volume of Xmas moans musing by our very own master of the "things that really rub you up the wrong way" post.  You Have Been Warned.

Doc H.

 
The bandwidth has now been increased to cater for the expected additional data input from Kerching's PC  approaching Christmas . 

We are planning a Kerching Special  to be shown on Christmas night in glorious kerchoscope .   All the moans & whinges from previous years will be shown  co- hosted by Alan Carr & Jimmy Carr ....plus.....  Walliams  & Will I  Am  will be doing their very own impressions of Brucie  & Glitter , respectively .  

And as a  luverley  secret surprise  guest  for Kerch  ...none other  THAN ......pause for drum roll ...... Essex  in person  .

Thank you Deke, I knew we could leave this very important technical issue in your safe hands. You may actually get a Christmas card from Sidewinder written in Biro, rather than Crayon this year, to show just how much the forum appreciates your hard work.

There's a couple,of things that are causing me to be intolerant


Have you listed "Gogglebox"...………..??

WTGrape!!!!

sitting watching telly.....

where the program is watching people watching telly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:shakehead     :C    :DeadHorse:

AND...    

all those ITV programs that have an interval every 10 minutes...

AND spend the first 3 minutes after every interval explaining what happened before the interval..!!!!

So a 30min program ends up being 1 hour with 10mins of adverts plus 20mins of recapping what you had just watched!!!!

:( :angry:

 
Ok, in reply to the first post, I'll say this.

1, Tesco,' we're open to everyone', tell that to the young lady who was thrown out of her local store when she went in on the way home from horseriding, apparently her dirty boots were not acceptable!

2 Gogglebox, why is it that my wife sits watching it, laughing like an idiot and almost wetting herself on occasions, "because it's so funny", yet when I react the same way about programmes, I'm a grumpy old sod!

3, The idiots who protested against the Coca-Cola truck visiting towns because, 'it makes you fat', wrong, a lack of self control makes you fat, stuffing your face repeatedly with large quantities of kfc,ordomino's, or maccy's whilst sat on your lazy behind watching Jeremy Kyle. or Gogglebox makes you fat!

4, Parents who spend hundreds and hundreds of pounds on garbage for their little darlings Christmas presents, then moan thet they're skint, or kids don't know the value of money!

5, People who expect me to be nice to people who, at any other time of year, I wouldn't cross the road and pee on them if they were on fire, just because it's Christmas

6, People who either get the hump when you tell them you are not working over the holiday, or moan when you tell them you charge a bit more, do they not expect more money if they work over the holidays?

7, And finally for now, those annoying people at my insurers, who, send me out their 'keenest' renewal quote, then act all surprised when I ring them back and tell them I've found the same quote, from their company on Compare the Meerkat, and it's 200 quid cheaper.

I think you should rethink items 2&3, just incase your wife reads it????
Now you've just reminded me of another one, the wife, who, spends all day at work using a computer, then comes home and asks me to find her something online because "You know I don't understand computers" !
