Mr Grumble: A 'grumble' a day keeps the doctors away

Vuvuzela – The Horn That Keeps On Tooting!

So that thing on TV that sounds like a million bee’s being trapped in a jar and then shook until they cannot fly straight, well that is what we know as:

Vuvuzela.

They seem to have grabbed the whole of South Africa by storm, so why not let them grab you by storm?

If you are desperate for one, grab it here:


World Cup Begins – Positive – Sexy Football

Grumble fans this is a positive!

The World Cup 2010 has just kicked off and can I for one want to say well done to South Africa for the starting ceremony, it was absolutely stunning!

So whats coming now….a picture of some woman in body paint of the flags of course!

ENJOY!

The First Positive Ever!

Thats right…this is a positive post because I have found a picture of a Ladybird/Ladybug that was so beautiful!

Enjoy grumble heads!

Toast – So Bloody Easy!

What’s gwanning grumble heads?

A little quick grumble about bloody toast…and people’s inability to make a decent piece these days.

When people make a cheeky slice of toast its simple bang a slice of bread into a toaster of choice, turn the dial to 1.30 seconds, that seems to be optimum time for a lightly toasted beauty, then flip it out, butter, strawberry jam and then boom done!

My problem stems when you ask someone to make a second piece of toast, after you have already used the toaster once. It really is simple:

If you have used the toaster once and are using again within a 5 minute time period the elements will still be hot, so the bloody toast needs less time.

So stop putting it on for the same amount of time and then being confused as to why it is fucking burnt…and while I am at it…No i am not going to scrape the “burn” off my toast and eat the bit underneath. How about you cook it better in the first place and dont waste a decent piece of Hovis best of both!

CPA Lead – Adsense or Ad-no-sense!

I’m proud of the title…so what…write me a grumble if you think its shit!

So everyone has seen “CPA Lead” at some point in the lovely life, this bloody image below that pops up when you are trying to access some insanely good content…right?

"Typical CPA Lead"

Wrong…I know people put adverts on their site/blog/vlog/god knows what to gain revenue…I mean I have on here, a cheeky bit of Google Adsense which, you know maybe might interest you…and maybe you will click. My problem comes when I am watching a Series 21 of The Simpsons online, 7 minutes in, past the title credits, past the opening gambit, moving on to see someone do something silly or clumsy and then have to do something to make it up to someone (at this point it may seem like i am bad mouthing The Simpsons, I am not!) and then BAM…before I can see the glint in a well-know characters eye, up pops the above beauty!

I am limited in my options, do i Google. “How to avoid/avade/ignore/piss off CPAlead or do I just give up and find another site with exactly the same content with “real*” adverts and what I want…exactly…I do what we would all do, move along!

So lets just say I will never ever be using CPALead:

1) Because this site has no “Premium Content” its full of my rants and ramblings!

2) It doesn’t generate revenue…people just move along

I am not going to spend my time telling an internet survey my favourite Coffee is:

A) Starbucks   B) Cafe Nero   C) Costa   D) None of the above Coffee is god awful

So just think before you bang CPALead onto your site will you dears.

For you CPAers out there I offer you this…

/end rant!

By the way, my answer would be D

*In my opinion, obviously to all CPALead bummers…”It is great..yadayada!”

Gym – Heart Rates and Weight Loss – G

Alright alright, I am the first to admit I haven’t posted on this site for a while I have been insanely busy, and by that I mean quite busy. For you I offer this:

Sorry

I can only apologise if you are searching everyday looking for a grumble posted by someone you dont know at sometime in the near future! But have no fear the grumbles will be coming back!

If you are pissed off at me, drop me a line, tell me to get my arse in gear, would love to hear from you.

So to today’s grumble, the gym. I have already grumbled about this topic but feel there is more I can, so away I go.

First things first, the gym I attend is not what you would describe as swanky, nothing special, nothing terrible, just your average £22p/m gym. Now for a simple maths lesson, if the gym has 1000 members and it costs £22.00p/m for them to go thats: £22,000p/m for the gym, of course some of this goes on wages and fixing the god awful running machines, but still you would expet the *clever* people at the gym could leave £100, or less, to buy some working bloody scales!

The scales which are present are below par, i don’t expect scales which are digital, just ones that work properly. The big circle of glass is smashed, alright they sorted it by removing the whole bit of glass so no-one knew, clever. But what has now happened is some douche has moved the scales so when nothing is on it they sit at at least half a stone below the line.

These poor people coming to the gym looking to lose weight, after a hard sesh (I know my gym lingo) step onto the boys and find they have lost half a stone! WRONG!

The gym needs to sort this out before one of the bigger people find out and squash them to death!

Mr G.

I’m Oh So Sorry!

Right i know i haven’t been posting much recently, there is a reason for this i have been busy with the family and the like, but of course this is no excuse so what i am going to try and do it Grumble into the 21(:S) C.

For my 18th Birthday, cards and presents welcome, i am hoping to get an Apple Macbook Pro, with this i plan on making comical but oh so ranty videos on my blog so a ‘Vlog’ if you will. Thats right you may well see Mr Grumble in the near future, I hope to keep the ‘Vlogs’ funny and of course will be posted here with a lil bit of writing for you literates to get your buck teeth into! :)

Grumble out,

‘Who knows one day i might make a grumble about ‘Vlogs”

Mr Grumble’s Brush With The Law – G

Howdy Guys,

It has been a busy week for Mr.G and as the title suggests i have had a brush with the authorities, don’t worry though i am safe and it was a small misunderstanding, almost like the Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders is asked by the police,

‘Are you Ed Flanders?

He Replies, ‘No, Ned Flanders’

The Policeman finishes with ‘My Mistake!’

I was walking through a train station and about 8 police where lined up against a wall, all stacked up with stab-proof vest and the like, a drugs dog was also present. After walking past once and smiling at the Police man, i then had to walk past to get to my platform and the dog walked across my path and sniffed at my friend, then walked away, this was apparently enough information for the police to search me for drugs. I have never taken drugs in my life, and never even been drunk (due to not liking alcohol) so this was strange.

I was then searched (all above board, no cavity searches included) and was allowed to go. Through this little incident i now think of policemen in 2 categories:

1. The type who think they are better than the ‘average’ person because they can enforce the law

2. The banter policeman who likes to joke ad treats you like a normal person.

I encountered both of these and just wanted to vent my anger at number one, they are just plain pieces.

That is all!

Pro Evo 2009 vs. Fifa 2009 – Just the negatives – G

Hello Folks,

Like all big arguments one has continued to loom over the gaming world, I’m not talking about the ‘PS3 vs Xbox 360 saga’ or ‘PS3 and Xbox vs. Wii’ I’m talking about the question which has stood as long as time:

‘Which is better Pro Evolution Soccer or Fifa?’

Before i start with my grumbling i will tell you now that i am not going to answer the question, as i know what i prefer so it would be bias for me to say, so if you are only reading to find the answer to the question as Will Young said ‘Leave right now.’ What i will post is what annoys me about each game and why.

Pro Evolution Soccer

The first thing to get on my nerves with Pro Evo is a very small minor thing, when given a corner the player taking the corner looks very small and fat, to test this i made Peter Crouch a corner taker and the Pro Evo engine even managed to make ‘crouchy’ look like a hobbit, this doesn’t happen in real life Giggs doesn’t step up to take a corner and shrink 2 ft and gain 10 pounds, so why should ‘the most realistic football game’ do this?

The second and possibly the most annoying thing with Pro Evo is the ability to flatten any player off the ball and not be reprimanded for it. The first five times you achieve a stunning leg break tackle and can carry on playing, we all know its an amazing moment, but when it starts to happen 20-30 times in a 10 minute game it gets very annoying. Especially when the ball moves closer to the player rolling around the floor like Ronaldo on speed.

My third and final complaint about Pro Evo is the ability to score own goals. Now this is of course is a targeted complaint because in our house if you score an own goal you have to down a can, its the rules and they have stuck for a while. So when you get a free kick within 30m of the goal all you do is hold the down arrow and ‘O’ as it is not classed as a shot (on Pro, square is shoot) if it takes a slight deflection when going under the wall, own goal. Now in real life this would be classed as an own goal so Pro need to sort this out for the sake of people everywhere who play the own goal can rule.

Fifa

My first annoyance with Fifa is the dull and very repetitive commentary, but the main complaint is the fact that it is always about 3 seconds too late. When playing a football game i dont what to have an echo telling me what i have done and that is what it seems like, after taking a shot and missing the goalie can take the goal kick and then the commentator discusses the fact it was a ‘beautiful shot, just brushing the bar.’

The second point of complaint with Fifa is the advantage rule, although it is fantastic that it can be implemented, it is used far far to much on the game. The moment it begins to annoy me is when the little icon flashes up but due to the lack of player control your player runs to the ball even when you are trying to pull him off (easy) away from the ball.

Finally the Offside rule usually gets on everyone’s nerves especially females. Fifa have tried hard to get the game realistic putting in all the rules use in the ‘real game’ but the offside rule is just stupid for 2 reasons:

1. If your player is offside you have to keep running and wait until you touch the ball until it stops the game and calls you up on it.

2.If the other team intercepts the pass and thus gains the advantage the offside is still called and the game is stopped.

Do you agree/disagree/feel i am wrong,
