my turn for a rant!

[Guest111]

Well guys,Everyone seems to have been having a bit of a rant about different things lately so I figure it's my turn.I'm totally fed up of people with no self control and the nanny state.Have you noticed lately that it seems we've all got to pay the price for other people's lifestyles? These days nothing tastes like it used to because all the food has been messed about with,sugar has been all but eliminated from sweets and soft drinks,nearly all frozen food,such as chips,fishcakes,crispy pancakes etc have to be oven cooked instead of fried and why? Simple because a branch of society cannot help but stuff as much food as it can down it's greedy little throats,become grossly overweight and then run around screaming "it's not my fault I'm fat" well listen fatty yes it is your fault simple as!there's a fat family live over the road from me and they are constantly shoving something down their greedy little throat's.The whole lot are overweight even the young grandchild who is about 2 years old,The grandfather waits for the ice cream van every night'it's usually around at 8 pm and as soon as the bell rings he waddles out of the gate as fast as he can go.my god it's like Pavlov's dog all over again! The other night it was late and he was pacing up and down on the front with a look of panic on his face,omg a night without a large 99,will he survive the night!Now if you're stupid enough to have no self control and go ramming all kinds of stuff down your throat and pile weight on then it's your fault not mine simple as,so why should my food be mucked about with? I and a lot of other people my age are not overweight (I'm 49 tomorrow) and why? because we ate all things in moderation,and got off our backsides and worked for a living instead of being sat on them ramming McDonalds down our throats while playing video games or watching Jeremy Kyle!Same with drink,now I know there are people who have a genuine drink problem and they have my sympathy,however I'm sick to death of alcohol prices going up because of this new generation of people who can't take their ale and end up fighting and causing trouble,clogging up A&E every Friday and Saturday night or rampaging around the town causing mayhem.If you can't take your ale then don't drink it's that simple.I'm totally fed up with the nanny state and everyone's selfish attitudes and this belief that somebody else should take responsibility for YOUR actions.
Tomorrow I will be 49,I will get up as usual open my single birthday card from my wife,note I said single! Because no doubt all my family and the so called friends who ring me everytime they have a problem will be too wrapped up in their own little worlds to even think about sending me a card.Typical of the society we live in. Rant over.

Cheers mate,so it's not just me then.lol

 

[telectrix]

happy b' day for tomorrow , phil.

 

[Guest112]

Happy birthday, pot noodles used to be tasty, until like you said fatties went on a pot noodle rampage and probably blamed the company and not themselves, now they just taste like water...

 

[Fin170]

My favourite nanny state contradictions stories are always from the Daily mail

"Rambling rambling, Health and safety? NANNY STATE NANNY STATE"
"P**n on the internet? GOVERNMENT SHOULD BAN IT Rambling"


But anyway I find the cost of obesity very irritating and the burden it's putting on the NHS is unfair on the rest of us. Unfortunately as it's a government thing and a cost to all of us something has to be done at multiple levels to sort the problem. Extra taxs are inevitable, education be handy and I don't see a problem with parents being charged with neglect for letting their children ending up at horrendous mass

I were a bit fat when I was younger but went with the '1st law of thermodynamics' diet which for some reason always works :stooge_curly:

 

[Guest111]

Another one I heard lately,apparently children shouldn't head a football as it can harm the brain and affect intelligence.Well that's got to be true,look at all the silly beggars on here who go out to work to earn a living while the youngsters stay at home collecting benefits,you can tell we played more football than they did.lol

 

[Kamikaze]

Good morning earthlings!

We know what you mean owt lad. What’s always baffled me is, if it's true that you are what you eat, why am I not all new and improved? :angel_smile: For reasons that I can not explain this thread reminds me of a flight to Düsseldorf were Lufthansa made this big lad pay for two seats on the plane. He was not happy! Never shut up about it for a whole hour….lol. Mind you, had he walked past your TV, you would have missed the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] season of Lost.

 

[dan86]

Couldn't stop laughing when reading that Phil!

 

[bigdavs83]

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Phil, nice rant by the way, couldn't agree more with you

[Chrisuk]

[dingledong]

Hmmmm a bit harsh
The grandson is being brainwashed and when he grows up will be fat and more than likely so will his children more should be done .
The amount of sugar in our diets is shocking any way 7tea spoons in a can of Pease I believe . At the moment if you don't have diverging tea or sweets or anything surgery at all ,just normal food your taking in about 15 teaspoons of sugar a day . This is wrong!
I also thought you did not become a miserable git till your 50, but any way welcome to the old fogeys club sir

 

[dingledong]

Oh and how many birthday cards did you get ?

 

[telectrix]

hmm, 10 c0ffees a day, 3 spoons of sugar in each. that twice your bid. i'mm doomed already without the coke,ice cream, and cakes. bugger.

Yes Chris,you are correct,incidentally I've left instructions that should I ever get to the stage where I start watching that JK crap then my friendly local vet is to be instructed to put me to sleep.lol

Well what do you expect from cheap processed unnatural food in tins and plastic packets?

 

[telectrix]

unnatural foods being... rice, pasta, yoghurt, muesli, mayonaisse ( which i refer to as donkey snot) all forms of milk pudding. all stuff my lady says i'm awkward for not eating. what's wrong with good old steak and chips?

[shanky887614]

i dont have a drinking problem, im a lightweight 5 or 6 pints in a night and ill be on me arse

 

[trev]

While I despise the amount of programmes on TV dedicated to cooking (there's even some weird gameshow now with a cooking theme which is unbelievably complicated) I think some of them have to be there to show idiots what they're doing wrong. It's not that difficult to somewhere, buy reasonably priced FRESH ingredients then take them home and assemble them into a nourishing meal.

Instead, a lot live out of their microwaves and couldn't cook a meal from scratch if their lives depended on it.

 

[brucelee]

What Rant you should be a MP then we would all be better off

Happy Birthday Have a good one

 

[Guest111]

how about this?:

I hope you've wrapped her properly,bloody postmen would nick that round here.lol

Me to mate,only problem is these days I can't afford 4 or 5 pints of bourbon!A couple of years back the brother in law came up to visit and we had a session,a litre of malt and 3/4 litre of vodka,I felt bad about getting him p155ed until he admitted that I'd drunk most of it

 

[trev]

Cheers mate.

You're very welcome mate, I'm raising a glass (well a can really) to many more of them for you.

 

[Guest111]

Cheers Trev,just had a nice surprise,the eldest has been around with the grandkids and actually dropped a card and present off,200 smokes, had to laugh because he's just come back from holiday and I paid him to bring me a box of rolling baccy back,so I'll probably smoke myself to death.

[edexlab]

Agree competely
I remember going to the job centre pre internet days, after being laid off from work years ago because I broke my leg and couldn't believe people in there moaning about the suggestion that they should walk a mile to a local factory for work! I'm standing there with severe pain and an obvious bad limp having not quite recovered yet

I told the bloke working there that I didn't need help from him to find a job but it looked like he needed some to deal with these idiots!
Also an interesting comment from a local farmer in his eighties
He said regarding the obesity problem which he said was down to the bleeding heart society we live in.

"Isn't it funny .....most countries you go to its the rich who are fat and the poorer people who are skinny......
How is it that this country is the other way round! ."
