i am aggrieved at louche for taking the piss out of splod way back in january. that was mean and unnecessary.
i am aggrieved at boy racer for not dropping my library book round, and also not giving me back the things of mine that i left at his house.
i am aggrieved at london for telling me that she hates 'islands in the stream' the other day when she knows how much it means to me.
i am very lucky to have so few grievances with the MO family this year. what with the stealth **** thing being cleared up pre-festivus and that.
3. i am not the head of the family. i think ben is head of the family, and i think he should wrestle jonesy. but it is up to ben who he decides he wants to wrestle. it is a shame festivus was not today or we could have witnessed the spectacle of ben trying to convince us that 'being monstrously hungover' counted as 'having something better to do'.
if you dont want to wrestle jonesy, ben, then i think vogon would put up a pretty fight.

last night ben said that when jonesy turned up they were going to fight like men and the lady-mo's did a collective *sigh* at that imagery but then jonesy didn't make it to the meat in the end and then ben said that jonesy was gay.

I am aggrieved at stupid fuckface Delia Smith, whose fault it is that my flapjacks turned into metamorphic rock and my beautiful shortbread stars and christmas trees went distressingly bloated and mutant in the oven. If ever I meet Delia Smith, I will gouge her eyes out with birch twigs.
I now have 24 hours in which to go to work, endure a Christmas night out, return home, and then emergency bake 10 batches of Christmas food parcels so that they might reach their intended recipients in time for actual fricking Christmas. When I fail to do this (and how can I not? how can I expect to return home from a works night out, feat. festive tapas and free sangria, and have sufficient time, and be sufficiently compos, to do home baking?) I will lay the blame squarely at stupid fuckface Delia Smith's door.

i am aggrieved at spending some time trying to be friends with someone here in nashville who basically doesn't get me. he said he thought the musicians on "standing in the shadows of motown" didn't really have a point as they were session musicians and blah fucking blah. i feel like showing him wattstax and if he doesn't like that, then he's fucking through. should i give him a second chance???

I am aggrieved at being told to fuck off or some other similar greeting 300 times a day in response to the question "would you like to buy some broadband?"

I'm aggrieved that I took the boys to see The Incredibles at the Manchester Palace of Money, The Trafford Centre, last evening and when we came out I said I'd see if we could get one of those bags of cookies to share and I couldn't find anywhere that sold them even though I'm sure there's normally about 50 of them within every 10 square metres of The Trafford Centre. So, not wanting to leave my poor orphans hungry for lard and chocolate, I thought I might buy a bit of consolation shortbread which one place was selling. Listen, right, a piece of shortbread...
<------------------------------------------------> <------------------------------------------------> <------------------- THIS SIZE ------------------> <------------------------------------------------> <------------------------------------------------>
...cost... Listen, I know you have to pay more in places like that and you brace yourself for it and try not to compare it with a whole packet of shortbread biscuits from Tescos for 35p, but that piece of shortbread was priced at...
£1.40 (one poun an forty)
The orphans starved. And hopefully the fucking shopkeepers in The Trafford Centre will too, although the five hundred thousand cars all trying to get into the car park as we left would suggest that they might not starve this year. Maybe next year.
The Incredibles was good though and everyone (2-year-old, 4-year-old, 8-year-old, 14-year-old and 39-year-old) sat still through the whole thing and said they really liked it at the end. I was impressed.

I am aggrieved, on my first visit to Wikipedia -- which I had assumed was some dumb semi-accurate substitute for reference books, but which actually seems quite good -- that there is no mention of me and only one line for "Brockley". But quite a lot on Woolwich, including a pronunciation guide! If someone requests that there should really be an entry under my name (and who could argue with that) I will write it for you.
eta I have tested Wikipedia further by looking up the concept I was just writing about and it is clearly not up to scratch when it comes to anything more testing. The entry for "flow" in psychology would satisfy someone unfamiliar with the original work but would also mislead them. So that aggrieves me: the knowledge that people will go for this lazy route and get a slightly fudged idea of something. Note that the second para casually uses the author's first name, which shows you immediately that there is something not quite trustworthy about this entry even if you haven't read the work in question.

I am not especially aggrieved at anything, beyond the base level contempt for the human race.
I am quite bored at work though, if anyone has any suggestions for the next two boss-free days.
Edit: oh, I am aggrieved at the release date for Harry Potter 6; that's when I go to Nottingham to experiment on locusts for a week, and I can't change that because of some annoying wedding.

I am not really aggrieved about the above anymore. I know it sounded really fusty for 9am but my annoyance only lasted the duration of the post. I am going to go for a "run" and it's raining

Not being able to "write woman", fighting is, of course, key to my primitive bonding routine. I'm not much of a wrestler, though, more a vicious little bastard with a robust forehead and fast hands. I've often thought a drunk fight would be the best way to properly bond with Ben, ever since he suggested we "break head together."
Raz suggested throwing a milkshake at him but, in this current climate of lactose intolerance, I think that might be racist.
Threadwise, I am aggrieved at myself for not attending the Falling Down Stairs Meat. My social calendar is stretched to melting point this Christmas and it boiled over into oblivion on Monday.

Can't you just change the experiment to "Locust responses to readings from Harry Potter 6". Or is there no funding available for that sort of thing? I bet there is.

I am aggrieved at my colleague with whom I had scheduled a battle of egos, in the board-room no less, and for which I dragged my sizeable hangover out of bed, and the little shit hasn't come in, claiming 'cough and cold'.

Dude, you can add and write your own entry, that's kind of the point of the Wikipedia. I think you should write some hideously self-aggrandising entry for yourself then everyone else can have a go at it.

Is that really the point? But that makes Wikipedia pretty redundant as a reliable tool?
quote:Originally posted by kovacs: Is that really the point?
Sort of. It's like an Open Source encyclopedia, the idea being, I think, that if anyone writes up a load of shit then people can edit it. I'll be honest, I don't entirely understand how that's supposed to work but there it is. There's more about the general philosophy here.

I am aggreived at the United States for providing us with the most dire comedies, ie Seinfeld, which is unfunny beyond all realms of the imagination. I am also aggreived that it has spawned a thread on TMO celebrating a fictional holiday, and finally I am aggreived that I am taking part.

I am righteously aggrieved by an early crimbo prez from me mum. Its one of those ear cleaners from Boots, a liquid swisherthing. My habit of ear-cleaning twice a day with buds was, I quote, 'not only annoying, but an accident waiting to happen' .. see I thought it was just one of the plethera of paranoias that made me endearing. Clearly not. Hmmph. I said 'don't try to change me, bitch', quietly, and she said 'stop mumbling and sit up straight'. Anyway you only have to use it twice a week and it feels quite nice. Might be quite nice and cold squirted anywhere. Mind you, I have thought that about other hygiene products but The Listerine Experiment should be a lesson for us all. Not that I'm saying 'don't wash yer todge in mouthwash' - its just like, if you fancy it, its your business. Is this mike still on ..?

I am aggreived at Louche for continually editing out her posts like some kind of pussy. It's not like she's even got the excuse of being drunk. Probably.

Also - what was wrong with that post? It was decent, nothing personal going on in it, no harsh words at anyone. Just a mid-level amusing anecdote. Why the edit, Louche, you crazy bitch.

Feast of strength No one wants to see me fight Jonesy. As many of you know: I'm a lover, not a fighter. This means I would have to start loving him. And no one wants to see that.
I reckon the forum femmes should have to engage in a knockout tournament of mercy. You may remember mercy - the primary school game where opponents stand face-to-face, clasp each other's hands, fingers interlaced, then try to bend back the other person's fingers until a scream for "Mercy!" is extracted.
As much as the physical aspect there's a psychological grapple that's going on as the participants lock gazes and each intimidates her opponent with a chilly stare and half-smile combo that'd make a bull-elephant's knees buckle.
Sidney vs Herbs would be my fave pairing as I'm pretty sure that the contest would only be concluded with one or other of the antagonists being hospitalised.

I am still drunk and you are all confusing me this morning.
And I am still at home. Taht is how bad I feel. I have to go to work now because I started stuff yesterday that I cant neglect, even though my boss and sub-boss are on holiday. This is because I wanted to have a nice set of data to show my boss in January, because I am a suck-up.

you are so wrong. the problem with seinfeld is that you have properly to watch at least 10 episodes of seinfeld before it starts being funny. which is admittedly a lot of commitment for a very slowly increasing reward. but once it breaks the funny/ not funny barrier, it is very very funny.
and lol, put the pole away. i was a day early. festivus is tomorrow.
we are supposed to be airing our grievances within the family by the way- grievances about each other's behaviour, not just general randomised grievances. i thought it would be a good excuse for a ruck.
