My GAHHHH!!! today is not so much of a GAHHH!!! but serves perfectly well to illustrate exactly why I am so keen that no friendsof mine come near my hometown. I was walking to the railway station this morning at a little after 7 to catch a train to go to work when ambling toward me I see two youths (probably no older then 17), staggering towards me. With a big bottle of former Amaretto (of the 15'' of bottle only the last 1.5'' actually still contained Amaretto).
Actually when I say staggering toward me what I mean is that they were leaning up against each other for mutual support and charting a course that was absolutely not straight at all, not even a little. They were not merely drunk, but absolutely soused. Had I held a cigarette lighter to their mouths I would have had a flame thrower. At 7 in the morning.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is sadly all too typical a scene I have to deal with when around Cannock. GAHHH!!!

One could presume they'd had a very good evening. I've been known from time to time to stumble back home at what would almost be considered a reasonable hour of the morning for people to wake, having spent the entire evening drinking, talking and pouring my heart and soul out.

Overprotective "best friends" who get jealous and go into all-out attack mode whenever someone even mentions their "protected" ones. Seriously, if you like her that much, propose to her! Your behaviour already suggests that you're Lesbian, so go for it instead of harassing gentlemen interested in your "best friend". GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

not a lot makes me go GAH!, but one of the few things that does is negativity. We're all capable of a positive outlook, but it's too easy to cast things in a negative light. I see myself as realistic, I look on things as they are as often as possible, but even I fall foul to this demon occasionally
in short, it makes me go GAH! when people see things negatively when there's just no need.

You know, I had "The Talk" with this new housemate shortly after I moved in. You know the one, about doing your own washing up, cleaning up after yourself, covering up food in the fridge etc? He hasn't listened to a damned word. My beautifully clean cooker top is covered in baked on spilt food, the fridge is full of dripping, foil wrapped left over take away and the work tops are no longer faux marble but look like some kind of wordless menu. He never EVER takes the trash downstairs, but has no problem removing the bag from the bin (without replacing it) and leaving it outside my door! I had a little tidy round yesterday, nothing major just a little hoover round, did my own washing up, cleared away more stuff for the move, I bet when I go in today it will be disgusting again. It speaks volumes that I have never gotten food poisoning until he moved in......

Idiots who throw empty beer bottles over a high fence, not caring that a car is the other side. AAaaahhhh. What a way to finish my holiday, one smashed window.
And the auto glazing company who can't get their act together and, nearly a week on, tell me if they have got the right glass for my car!!!

The fact than is dangerously easy to accidentally stumble on spoilers for a serie you come out late. You would say that what spoiler funtion are for, but they are this things they always assumed you know by now BUT YOU DON'T WAN'T TO KNOW YET !!! And then, they are also this goosip mag who think is smart to give the scoop of a plot twist before the episode actually air. CAN I SAVOURATE MY TV SERIE PLEASE  ? |

I have to say my current GAAAA!, for the last couple of weeks at least, has been the number of rude, impolite, disparaging or eletist comments popping up within this other wise extremely polite forum. Might I suggest that certain people read the Forum rules before posting. If you don't like the rules there's nothing forcing you to use this Forum. There is also the option of PM if you wish to take issue privately. And if you want to post something that may offend, why not count to ten and consider whether it is wise. I'm not a Mod but sometimes I wish I had a delete button. If someone with a reputation for being as blunt and 'forthright' as I am can learn to be more polite ANYONE can.  I'm with ya, Rockula... I'm kind of agog, actually...it seems it happened so suddenly...what happened? What went wrong? Any ideas? It used to be so peaceful around here.... >shrugs< |

Makes people do stupid things. Anyway, Today's Gaaaa (sad commentary that they are now daily) is for all those that I count as friends that are in trouble and me, too far, or with out proper resources to help. |

Woke up to a message from ym brothers girlfriend saying he is in hospital! I don't know any other details, and I can't get in touch with him or my mum, so I am guessing they are still there. I am hoping to god it is just his eye playing up again  |

I know what you mean about the heat and glassfibre though, few people realise that sunshine accelerates the process, it was always amusing to see a beginner to the trade take a mould outside in the summer to work on it because it was cooler then in the workshop, and then find it had gone off before they could finish laying up.

Neither a southerner or a poof, but I always mask up before glassing... why not do a quick web search into the dangers involved in fibreglassing? it may persuade you that masks aren't just for southern poofs. |

No need I gave up the glassfibre business after twenty odd years, due to concerns about possible health problems. But you may not want to take all posts too literally.

My daily GAH! today concerns spending two hours this morning wrestling with a lump hammer and crowbar breaking up concrete to move the wooden fencepost entombed in the aformentioned reconstituted rock all of two and a half inches.

Got home from work, and opened all the windows to let some cool air in. It promptly started to rain.  Winter can not get here fast enough. |

Early hours of this morning, I was pleasantly half asleep when a neighbour, a loudmouthed young woman, started whooping and yelling and saying things like 'Come on, you' or 'awww ya bastard' as if she was viewing the South Yorkshire Snail Racing Chmpionships.
I really do not know what she was viewing, but at that time of day she was being a bore. Not a bad person really, we have exchanged pleasantries, but I think she may be one bolt short of a Meccano set.

Apologies for going off topic in this thread.... But could I ask, what paint works on fiber glass? I was thinking of using hammerite. I have a full size fiberglass coffin I need to tart up ready for the Asylum, and am having a coffin painting/barbecue for some of my more artistic friends next weekend so I need to stock up on sausages and painting materials.... Sorry, I know it's not a Gaaaahhhhhhh, but there seems to be a congregation of fibreglass experts on here... Maybe we could see it as Gaaaahhhhh prevention?
