Do Africans have unleaded?
« on: August 19, 2008, 03:33:08 PM »
I've just had a minor altercation with an African  Banghead

Pulled into the filling station to find one pump free (unleaded), but situated beyond it were two vacant pumps. The vacant pumps were
i) Out of Order  ::)
ii) Diesel

What happens? This large and loud African pulls up behind me tooting his horn and gesturing for me to move forward. I gesture to the colour of the pump ~ green  cool14:

This communication seems to have little sway with the African whose wife now joins in with the shouting and gesturing  eeek:

I shout back the word UN-LEADED very clearly hoping this would bring resolution; he opens the window and shouts back
FREE POMPS!
 Banghead Banghead

I decide I'm on a hiding to nowhere so ignore him and carry on filling the car. He eventually reverses and steers his tribal wagon to another pump whereupon he gets out of the car. I'm expecting words at this point but no, he leans against his car and instead of fuelling, starts a loud conversation on his mobile in his native tongue  shrugs:

By the time I'd filled, paid and was leaving he was still there shouting into his phone  eeek:

I guess this is the new normal  ::)

If machete, thieving and cheating were Olympic events they'd be way up the medals table...

Surely you mean [insert racist comment of your choice here]  whistle:

We are all praising the young lady for winning a Gold for Team GB but it was only a year ago that they were saying that she could not compete in the Olympics EVER because she had just finished a 12 month ban for failing to take three drugs tests. Presumably coached by Linford "Drugs what drugs?" Christie.

On the coverage yesterday all the comentators/ex athletes saying what a load of cr*p this was.

Apparently the organisers phone up about 4-6 weeks in advance & ask where the athlete is going to be on a particular day. If you are not exactly where you say you are going to be you fail. In one of the instances she had turned up to do her training to find that the facility had been hired out for a schools sports day so she had to go elswhere to train, she left a message letting them know her new whereabouts but this was not deemed acceptable. I know this is only one out of three but it just shows how stupid the people who run the system are/ how stupis the system is.

Agreed but if you want to take the money you gotta play by the rules.

Had she lost then no one would have "taken her side" but that is the way the media works.
