Thomas The Tank Engine.

Little disrespectful twat drives me up the wall. My son love the show but that little tank engine is anything but "really useful". Example would be something like this:

Fat Controller - Thomas, I have a special special (yeah I know, but it's a thing). I want you to take this heart and lungs straight to Sodor Private Hospital, there's a little 12 year old boy called Jimmy who needs it straight away. This is incredibly important Thomas, go straight to the hospital because the heart and lungs must be in the surgeon's hands in no less than 60 minutes or Jimmy will die!
Thomas - Yes Sir!

Thomas moves off post haste. We next see him overtaking Percy.

Percy - Where are you going Thomas? I'm going to pick up toys and deliver them to Brendham Docks!
Thomas - I'm going to deliver this heart and lungs to Jimmy at the hospital...but I bet he'd love a new toy for when he wakes up. Can I come and get a toy Percy?
Percy - Of course Thomas! They're not mine to give away but stuff it, come to the factory and help yourself.
Thomas - Gosh thanks Percy! I can't wait to see Jimmy's face when he has a new heart, lungs AND toy.

Thomas buggers off with Percy, wasting valuable time. He also bumps into Henry and Emily and ends up with a toy train, puppy and balloons to give to Jimmy when he wakes up. He also stopped to talk to a squirrel and help some children get their kite out of a signal box. His total time wasted has been 5 hours and 47 minutes. Then the reality sets in.

Thomas - Bust my buffers! (Yeah, they're mouthy little so and so's.) I have to head to the hospital. There can be no delay, I must travel without stopping to get this transplant to Jimmy today!

Thomas pulls into the docks.

Fat Controller - THOMAS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!! Little Jimmy was depending on you, he needed that heart over 3 hours ago. He died at 2:57, his last words were "I know Thomas won't let me down Mummy".
Thomas - <whining voice> I'm sorry Sir, I wasted time getting presents for Jimmy. Does he have a brother or sister Sir?
Fat Controller - Yes, he has a 24 year old sister called Mandy.
Thomas - Would she like a toy train, puppy and balloons Sir?
Fat Controller - That's an wonderful idea Thomas, they will really help her get over the completely avoidable death of her brother caused by your total failure to follow a simple and direct instruction. Your a really useful engine!

Then that'll be the end. The railways are a shambles on Sodor and it all starts with that fat, enabling controller. The fish rots from the head. But my son loves it and who am I to deny him truly appaling life lessons from the beautiful island of Sodor.

I remember that episode.
Didn't Thomas, get sidetracked going to Sodor airport, to meet Jamie the jet engine. So he could pick up Jimmy's Peptypes?
 
I don't mind Thomas but I can't stand that little obnoxious sit Peppa Pig.

Would only be enjoyable if she was in a BBQ pit with an apple in her mouth.

Id actually watch that these days if it were like that. I dont let my kids watch anything on repeat - you know those other morons kids who watch say ,...aladdin 50 times a day for a month or 3.... Not when I can download anything and send it through to the media centre next to the tv. But then again, i rarely let them sit there for long watching crap.

I don't really watch the tennis but it is on in the background. I've noticed that midway through the broadcast game, the famed Channel 7 'megawall' is on the screen. The game on one side and a press conference for Novak Whoevervic (the audio feed was from the press conference). Are you ****ing gagging me? People want to hear and see a meaningless press conference above decent coverage of a game? It couldn't wait until after or be broadcast on 7Mate? 'Novak, do you think of yourself as a brand?'. WTF. Rompingwins was on before and I've heard Basil's name mentioned too. Then the numerous reminders that the Russians who are playing are now 'Aussies'. Incredible.
 
something is currently grinding my gears...
I just don't understand how this has happened, for the first time in recent memory the lolnorf hashtag is NOT in the list of top trending tags for the forum.
I know our offseason performance has been dismal, we can't even rack up 1 offseason indiscretion. On top of that it seems like people are just bored about saying the same things about north's list to the point that maybe the same old lines about the aforementioned 'old' are just not delivery the self-satisfaction that they used to? I remember the good old day (literally yesterday) when the most ignorant flog would say why we are gonna fall off the cliff, yet couldn't even name his own ruckman... I guess things will just never be the same.

What really grinds my gears is somebody telling you that they want to punch you when you know very well that they have no intention to do so. If you ain't going to do it then don't say that you have any intention on doing it you flog!
If you want someone to punch you i will. But only if you asked. Also you will have to come to me. Im in WA btw. I aint no welcher
