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)

A Season for all men

Well, we’re used to hearing about the Camping Season , which for Scouts runs from approximately 31st March to 31st October each year, although Graham Norton’s camping season lasts all year. Then there’s the Caravan Season , where Jeremy Clarkson spends six months with extremely high blood pressure as he tries to overtake them on the A38 in an excruciatingly expensive and completely unnecessary car. The Japanese have their Scientific Season, which was a series of sporadic weeks where they slaughtered endangered whales for scientific research, the results of which seem to be a closely guarded world-secret. This season now looks set, thanks to a group of spineless, land-locked countries threatened by the Land of the Rising Scientific Research with paying more for their Nintendos and PlayStations, to last until the final whale is wiped off the face of the oceans. I have written to the Japanese Embassy four times now seeking details of this research (email address info@l...

"Q". My name is Bond. Oh. not THAT Q.

I was sent a story today by a friend who knows my feelings on the subject - that is, about one of the consummately greatest of all British activities, namely, queuing. It seems some Danish Professor or other has come up with the theory that those who queue the longest should actually be served the last. He claims it makes purchasing something altogether more efficient and smooth through the idea of 'contra-queuing' (whatever the devil that may mean). 'Serve the people at the back of the queue first', he says, with profound wisdom. Altogether very professorial, albeit demonstrating a somewhat keen lack of understanding of the purchasing psyche. The Nobel Prize-chasing Prof suggests that if, for example, a popular entertainment act was to announce a tour, with tickets going on sale at 11am one morning, using the theory of 'contra-queuing', no one will want to be first to buy said tickets. So no one will turn up 14 months in advance and venues will...

"Pre-" . . . . . good grief!!!!!!!!!

I was looking through the Guardian this morning and noticed a position being advertised that I thought I'd take a closer look at. The first sentence, when clicking the link to apply was: "If you are registered, please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you." What is the current fixation with the prefix "pre" . It is everywhere, turning perfectly reasonable statements into total and utter gibberish! I would have thought that for one of our major quality newspapers, instead of "please log in and we will pre-fill this form for you" it would have been much more sensible to have something along the lines of "please log in and your details will be automatically filled in for you". It is the rip-off Britain merchants who have embraced this particular prefix with a vengeance. They have nonsensically slapped it in front of the word " order " so that the moment an overpriced games console, war game for that console, phone,...
