Title: The bloody BBC and their stupid charities
Post by: TheBoy on 03 March 2014, 19:02:57
In the Autumn, we have to tolerate weeks of crap around CIN, now we're bombarded with bloody Sport Relief.

As a national broadcaster, they should be banned from sponsoring charities, as it severely impacts proper charities who cannot get this amount of primetime coverage.

Grrrrr, rant over  >:(

Hmmm.

A few suggestions.

1. Buy a video recorder. These devices allow you to record a programme and then watch it at a later date.

2. Watch a different channel. These are to be found by pressing buttons on the remote control device ( sits on armrest of wife)

3. Speak to the tall one. He will arrange a subscription to 100's of channels of Cr4p

4. Move to Spain. We have had all the popular channels received by satellite "removed" by a tighter beam. You would still have the shopping channels and of course Sky News (which has been dumbed down recently)

I'm being plagued with the fe**ers coming door to door tonight. >:(

Loads of new vinyl to listen to and 2 of the b***ards interrupted one side of a record. "Oh, you've got a cat! <takes out photoshopped picture of neglected moggy> wouldn't it be great if you could stop this? Well, for just £3 a month...

They're damned right, though. It would be nice if I could stop it... ::)

If you did the BBC might not grate so much. Do you have to endure the latest senior management catch phrase. "...looking forward" is the latest one. It means "I'm completely ignoring the complete cock I've made of this, and your going to have do xyz to sort it out"

...oh now look, you've got me started again. :-[

While we're at it:

so
adverb (VERY):

1) very, extremely, or to such a degree
2) (informal) used before a noun or before 'not' to emphasize what is being said
3) used at the end of a sentence to mean to a very great degree
4) used at the start of a sentence, especially one answering a question in an evasive manner, to indicate that you are talking to a retarded middle manager and that you might as well not waste 30 seconds of your life listening to what is about to issue forth  >:(

In defence of our middle managers, they are hamstrung by senior management who in turn.... On never mind.


Its a scene repeated where ever there is hierarchy. Like a oppsing plague. Nobody gets it right >:(

Actually yes, name a company that gets its management structure right...?

I've actually been told, officially, that I have to do less, revenue generating work, in order to be able to do a load of unproductive, pointless wank.

Where is the common sense in that?
