Epic WTF

Like eating carob when you really want chocolate.

Who eats a bar of chocolate while turfing one out

There's always food wrappers and stuff in the bogs at the velodrome. They are fucking stinking and I only piss at work and try to hold my breath while I do, I can't fathom who thinks it's a good place to sit and have a bite to eat!

Brings to mind Lucifer's story of a workmate who sat in the bogs doing a shit, blocked it mid crap, cradled his ham sandwich in his keks and waddled through to the next stall to finish the job

Am in a bit of an angry/upset mood. So may re edit. Have added an edit my original post, even after adding a later post then update with a link.

There were no fishing boats involved, just people outside of an RNLI station.

The sentiment that the RNLI are for one group seems odd to me that the service is just for seafarers. If that is the sentiment, why don't seafarers pay for it? Only go out for seafarers and let the military/coast guard deal the rest. The RNLI is funded by charity, and I was last looking at RNLI they operate in many areas, from life guards on beaches, international help and education about water safety.

There is a logic that the gov should pay for the service, but we live a country that doesn't want to pay tax fairly. The getting out of hand is a direct benefit of brexit. Haven't some of the locals of sussex and essex been using their boats to bring clandestine people to the UK?

I was doing a work presentation in South Wales one time. Coffee time comes and many of us head to the gents only to be hit by this horrendous smell as we walked in with someone doing an epic last-night's curry shit.

Was he embarrassed about it? Nope he was holding a loud conversation on his phone in one of those classic baritone Welsh voices that left no doubt about who it was #noshame

I would be surprised if the 'protestors', for which read racist brexiteer scum have anything to do with the Hastings fishermen. The volunteers who man the RNLI lifeboat are predominantly taken from the commercial beach-launched fishing fleet, many of which I know and like. They will rescue anyone, including a bunch of drunken French yachtsmen I saw 5 miles out who had lost the ability to speak, let alone sail.

Often think Luci recounts are made up, but they are just so out there that it can't be made up.

Micheal Murpurgo does often mention that truth is stranger than fiction.

As I have edited my original post, as the story I read on social media was that a fishing boat was stopping a RNLI life boat helping people, while at sea. Asked if others had read anything similar.

Should I edit my post once more for clarity?

With a little further looking found the london economic article that I linked to and edited my post for clarity.

I agree with the racist brexiteer scum comment.

Nope, you're fine, local reporting was typically sensationalist. I made a couple of calls and what actually happened was that the lifeboat normally launches West of the harbour arm; because of sea conditions it launched on the East which is where the fleet is. There was a fishing boat coming in which was briefly in the way, the twats were just twats, not fishermen.

I am pretty sure that if the RNLI was government funded, Priti bloody Patel would find a way to prevent them saving poor desperate people in unseaworthy boats. Sea conditions are likely to be shite for the next few days, I hope this deters the gangsters who are nearly as culpable as our incumbent fascists.

Seems odd to ever report something as trivial that I though would/could happen at a port.

Wouldn't put anything past Priti.

I wondered what @t4ny4 was up to these days.

People at sea, especially those in smaller, more vulnerable boats, instinctively club together to save each other from a shared danger. If someone else is in the water you drop everything to help them, as if they were your own crew. Obstructing a lifeboat is like murdering your friends. It's unthinkable.

One WTF thing I found when I was working in the charity sector was that the Daily Mail has a couple of journalists who specialise in monitoring the charity sector to write attack articles. This is presumably both to stoke outrage about do-gooders and and make their readers feel better about not contributing to organisations who want to help those in need. The fact that some people get up every morning and work out ways to undermine charities boggles my mind.

They launched a major attack on the RNLI because it does some work abroad in Tanzania and Bangladesh, countries with the highest rates of drowning in the world (which has been in line with the RNLI's mission for 150 yrs). The stories were 'your money is buying burqinis for Muslamic forrins' dog-whistle filth. Happily, as in the current case, the RNLI had a surge in donations as a result.

Beginning to think an evil genius in the RNLI is planting these stories as part of their fundraising strategy.

Comically sad that people think the RNLI is funded by "tax payers". Technically it is, I suppose, just not in the way these cretins think.

There's a logic to this. It's about packing the most into your break. It's the same as reading the paper on the crapper. Relax in your private space and enjoy some me time. It's why we keep comics next to the bog at home. I often relax with Viz and a cup of tea when having a crap. If I have a colourful event, so what? My own stink doesn't bother me.

What about the poo crystals getting in your drink/snack?

You've been watching that advert with all the little poos settling in the curtains.

Relax in your private space and enjoy some me time.

Relaxing in your own, well cleaned, well ventilated, used by you and your’s, crapper is one thing.

Scoffing a prawn cocktail sarny in a windowless, shit stinking cubicle that’s probably been defiled by hundreds of cyclists on high protein diets, predominantly males with poor aim, since it was last given a cursory wipe around with a handful of blue roll is quite another.

Put me right off my lunch now.

Surely this is dependent on where you intended to dine?

Just the usual. Sat in the lav with two cans of strong lager and a grab bag of crisps.
