What Grinds your Gears?

Bar staff serving me cider with ice in it.

Its wintertime. Why would I want a cold drink that is even colder with the addition of ice in it?

I know where you're coming from there.

And to cap it off, there's a restaurant near where I live where the owner pronounces Magners 'man-yers' as if it was 🤬 French!

PS: You're also just 1 post away from being in the current Miserable Bastards of GTP Hall of Fame! 👍

I'm in the top ten... is it only the top 9?

I'd just like to add that I have 100 posts in this thread. That means lots of things grind my gears. Sadly im still way behind VANDENAL, the most gear grinded person ever.

Being the Thread's creator I suppose I should score fairly high!

I like the feel of New Hope, though the bass doesn't work at 2:05, then it changes and it sounds good again. When you fit the keyboard with the bass what you're playing sounds quite good. The end could be smoother. For the last song I was trying to fit vocal lines in it in my head.

Yeah All of those are the first songs (Well, musical pieces) I ever wrote, Not my best work, for example the name is awful

My favourites are Robots and Darkly Dreaming, the rest are ok but mainly just experimental...


Gear Grinder:
The cold! I clean windows for a living and thus spend all day outside, it's brutal knowing I have to endure it if I want to eat this week

And it's only getting colder!

My latest gear grinder is my bath. The cold water tap is basically a trickle, and that means I nearly scald myself whenever I try to dip a foot into it, unless I wait c.20 minutes for the bath to cool down.

My gear grinder today.

My sock has a hole in it.

Lemonade. I can't find anything else to drink so I drank some lemonade. That ended badly with a terrible case of stomach pains. It still hurts from lunch. Stupid lemonade.

Are you sure it was lemonade? Not "lemon scented bleach"? Would explain the stomach pains.

What's the difference?

Anything from severe internal scarring to death.

How else are you supposed to fit it in?

My ass hurts from sitting on the computer all night, except when I've gone to grab more Coke. Feels like I got absolutely nothing to do.

I'm pretty sure Capri Sun doesn't mix bleach in their drinks.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

It'd explain the bad taste.

Wasn't aware that Capri sun made lemonade.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Apparently they do. It's a completely different lemonade taste then what I've experienced. It's.. pretty disgusting.

Noted. Will avoid like the plague.

What grinds my gears? That I can't get Vanilla coke here without paying extortionate amounts. Or using regular coke with vanilla syrup.

Vanilla Coke is gross

 

[Crumpet]

Vanilla Coke? Why can't we get things that extreme..

I've seen vanilla coke in Tesco's (British supermarket for those who don't know) it is/was next to the cherry coke.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

My cat's on the pillow next toe just staring at me..... It's creeping me out.

 

[Crumpet]

My solution : Put it outside.. Then shoot it..

 

[ilikewaffles11]

It's an indoor cat though...

I remember vanilla coke being a special edition sale in the UK. I loved the stuff.
Why is it that the US and A have all of the best beverages? I remember going there in holiday and trying Sierra Mist. I almost died it was so good...
All we have over here is iced tea and 🤬. Even getting a Dr Pepper is often a fruitless task.

 

[Beeblebrox237]

Root beer FTW.

 

[TankAss95]

Root beer FTW.

Lol. Why U So Mean!
I wish manufacturers were not so lazy and put some of their products on sale over here in the UK.

 

[Crumpet]

I want to go to the shop across the street..

It's 1:30AM..

I don't want them to give me a load of bull:censored: for being up at this time.. I shall be up all night..

Waffles are gross.

Really? Need to check my local tescos then.

 

[Krog]

Vanilla coke is pretty good. I have never so grateful to live in the U.S., land of the free and home of the soft drink.

That is unacceptable sir

Out of curiosity can you get Pepsi Throwback in the UK? I can't stand regular Pepsi but the throwback is really good.

 

[Krog]

You know what grinds my gears? Awful rim jobs (on cars, that is).
