The Ranting Room

Languages change. Some people will be crabby about it and sit with arms crossed and say "Hrmph!" Oh well.

Where's the king of rants, Jim Garten?

By the way.  Excuse my ignorance but what the hell does "pwn" mean???

I live in the South, and I'm getting real  -ing tired of having to put up with all the pride associated with Civil War landmarks. How   -ing stupid do you have to be to take pride in a war you didn't win? I doubt if I go to Germany they've converted the gas ovens into   -ing rave clubs where the showers now emit foam. If I go to Hiroshima someone isn't gonna try to sell me a bottle of   -ing "Nuclear Hot Sauce: Megatons of Flavor". You   -ing lost, have some   -ing shame. Another thing: anything that survived the Civil War was unimportant. General Sherman's March to the Sea left Georgia burning. If a building remained unscathed it means that Sherman, the Erik the Red of American history, didn't give enough of a   to burning the   -ing thing down. Shut up and get thee to the nearest Wal-Mart and buy a gun to kill some deer.

That's another thing, why would a store that makes me want to kill myself have the audacity to sell   -ing firearms? That's a smart idea: making guns readily available near my college campus, especially around exam time. Is the clocktower included in my purchase, or does that come separately? And you can never get around the place because everyone trudges through the store with that empty look   -ing Vietnam vets have as their five unwanted, tax-relief children fan out across the aisle behind them.   -ing MOVE!

Hmm...

The DVLA.

I lost my driving license quite some time back and haven't gotten around to getting it replaced with one of those new fangled photo ID ones... anyhow, I looked on the DVLA website and it seems that the form of ID I need to prove I am who I say I am, is a passport.

My passport expired last month and it takes ages to sort a passport out.  I cannot really wait to get that sorted out.

b*****ds!

I need my driving license for something, how am I supposed to get the information?

The evil me almost hopes they say you need a drivers license to get the passport.    (Of course, this won't be the case)

Hey Neil - there's a whole thread dedicated to the new upgrade here:

Try now...

Got a row about this before....so hopefully it's in the right place now. The creepy brown nosing creep, who apparently maquerades as the boss of progrock records, snitching on people....i hate crawlers and point scorers.
