All sorts now I'm a grumpy owd fucker but recently it's been custom plates on vehicles.

Now I am a serial offender of sorts. I have 6 registered vehicles and 5 of them have custom plates. Some were purchased over a decade ago when it cost fuck all but it's 500 Aussie dollars a time now.

All of mine have meaning and fit the theme (you will have guessed most are Lambretta's and Vespa's).

What I don't get however is why some fucknuckle would pay 500 dollars plus 10% GST to have the brand and model of their car on a custom plate when it's plastered all over the fucking car in the first place? Today I have seen 'FOCUS ST', 'JAZZ VTEC' and 'CERATO GT'.

I don't get it. I just don't get it.

People - especially at airports and train stations. Ambling around as though they have all the time in the world. Get a bit of umph about you and stop just stopping when there's people right behind you.

Bolty strikes me as exactly the sort to have a personalised number plate.

Chuggers (charity muggers) in Victoria Station. 

I'm walking at 100mph to catch a train, why do you think I'm going to stop to talk to you about saving the endangered one fin albino dolphin 

Bolty being the sort of bloke with personalised plates?

Well there’s a fucking shock.

Burnley, Watford, Huddersfield, Fulham, Cardiff, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth receiving £100 million each in TV money on the back of how popular Manchester United are, yet Manchester United themselves not receiving enough TV  money to compete with the world's biggest clubs.

Bolty specified 'things what get on your tits', not 'things that make you laugh your cock off'...

Are you sure you haven't just driven past a car dealership?

Wonder what folk paid for the likes of H113WFC and that type of very localised interest.  I'd imagine they'll be very much in negative equity

I remember when X8WFC was £250 and I thought better of it. Someone else bought it, fair does. 

I met a guy in the 'King's Head' in Santa Monica way back & his number plate was 'BOLOX' - the licensing authority in LA had no idea what it was in British slang.

Is CL 1NT available- Mr Grey might like it.

Yes I'm sure.  Shouldn't you be brushing green baize or polishing ping pong tables?

 Fucking hell,  just how far behind UK is Australia? I've been retired 2.5 years.

 

Dickhead dog owners who bag their dog's shite then throw said bag on a tree or fence. Might as well just leave it on the floor in the first place

 

People who park their cars and take the entire path up, leaving folk no room to walk past. If it gets scratched it gets scratched 

Can't argue about your dog shit folk. Spent hours trying to disentangle the bags from branches. Sometimes they've become pressurised and explosive when touched.

Folk who are in the queue at a butty shop or chippy, just in front of you, queue up for 10 minutes or so, and then when they get asked what they want, then decided to look at the board and work out what they want. Cunts them type of folk are.

 

Also, private registration plates for cars, no normal/sane person would fork out extra money for something they don't need surely? - especially when it makes you look like a massive show off bell end

My brother once worked in a motor dealership. A bloke used to change his car every year; and once told our kid " personalised plates are for those who can't afford to change their car every year"

People starting a sentence with the word SO.

Bellends and bellendresses who queue up at self scan waiting for a console, scan their purchases then seem surprised by the tills request for payment - only then do they begin fishing about for cash/cards...
