Absolutely unforgivable ignorant post about the RNLI seen on Facebook


 
I have just read a disturbing and rather ignorant post with people saying they would not support the RNLI because they pick up immigrants from the sea.

Sorry all. It's not the RNLI's fault at all, and those comments are shameful. The RNLI is competely unfunded by the government, yet their volunteers go out in all weathers to rescue thick, implanted-teethed, tattooed, TikTok plonkers, brains enlarged by steroids, who think its alright to go off sailboarding in a force 7 gale off the coast of Scotland.
 
Have they ever been out in a RNLI lifeboat to rescue British plonkers such as above who are just braindead, thoughtless asshole themselves?
 
I have! And it's not a night out in the pub shouting obscenities at 22 spitters with ridiculous hair on a giant TV screen while you wear a gambling company-emblazoned team shirt, made by a half-blind child in Bangladesh for $4 that you paid £85 for!
 
Will you be sitting at home in Tenby, settling down to watch King Charles on TV prior to Christmas dinner with your family when the phone rings calling you out in the pouring rain to save some overweight, drunk jackass who has fallen into the sea while out walking his hangover and who now needs rescuing? I doubt it? 
 
That overweight, drunk jackass could be you! 
 
And if there was no RNLI, well, enjoy the rest of your life as shark food.
 
You detractors all seem to be totally unaware that the average RNLI rescuer is a baker, or hairdresser, or butcher, or care worker, all unpaid volunteers, called out from their work and giving up their own time to save these types of idiots' lives. The RNLI's charter is to save lives at sea, not to make a decision as to who they should or should not save.
 
I presume when you are 2 miles off the coast, pissed out of your minds on Prosecco and fighting for your lives after your motor boat sinks, you'll allow the RNLI to rescue you, because despite you being a totally thoughtless and selfish plonker, they will do!
 
However, that WOULD otherwise be a very good time for you to make your stance and not support the RNLI! Wouldn't it? 
 
Yes, why not insult the RNLI rescuers, tell them you aren't interested and then make your own way back to shore. The wind, rain, sea troughs and peaks and the two-mile swim back to shore shouldn't prove too difficult for you.
 
Bang out of order there posters!
 
(The salary received from the RNLI by the average volunteer is £0 pa - Mick Grinch of the train driver's union is on £84,000 a year and doesn't drive trains, check tickets, keep drunken louts away from single women on the last train from Halifax or clean the toilets in train stations)

Pirate Bay threatened with closure - doesn't affect me

Swedish file sharing website The Pirate Bay is now under threat following legal action by the British Phonographic Industry last December. They alleged that the website "infringes copyright on a massive scale” regarding the sharing of computer games, software, films and music. Point taken, and one can't for one minute deny that copyright is being infringed on quite a massive scale, not just on Pirate Bay, but all around the internet. However, with due respect to the originators of the shared files, I have never used Pirate Bay myself, except perhaps on very odd occasions for software, films and music. I never use Pirate Bay for software, because I prefer to pay an outlandish price for another seemingly pointless update to Microsoft Office that neither improves my speed nor productivity. And I am quite happy to part with hard earned cash to a company that has already earned a fortune from me - and others - with their updates over the years. And as for the recent update of Pho...

Airport amusement

There is no doubt that airports can be quite amusing places. That is apart from being told by a burly security supervisor at the x-ray gate that thanks to the only contribution Yasser Arafat ever made to society, I had to remove my belt, shoes, watch and place my AK-47 in the tray provided. Watching people going around their travel ‘business’ in airports and on board the aircraft is hilarious. There are those who are plainly not very good at it, continually checking all manner of minutiae with the other members of the party. “Do we go to the gate?”, “Have we time for a beer?”, “I MUST get a pizza”. There are those who have plainly not done it much before and like their fellow travellers to be made fully aware of the exact opposite, as they point and gesture to the monitor shouting out their destination and boarding gate at every passing opportunity to one and all around them. There are those who think they are something special – despite the fact they are travelling via bu...

Are Camelot dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy?

There can be no denying that UK lottery operators Camelot are on to a good thing. Especially the overpaid management. They have been reaping the benefits of the franchise for years now - a franchise that in essence, has been licenced by the government to print money. However, I can't quite make up my mind whether the management of the Lotto are dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy, although the cynic in me answers the question when I consider the chief Executive of Camelot was complaining last year that the annual bonus on her not inconsiderable 7-figure salary had been reduced (conveniently forgetting her 18 year sojourn to date at Camelot has produced a pension we mere mortals can only dream about. How about the poor soldiers, CEO Dianne Thompson, who come back from the far-east minus a leg and have to legally fight for compensation that doesn't even touch what you earn less than a month? And they don't receive CBE's for their troubles either !). Irres...
