POST COMPLAINTS HERE
I am annoyed that I am spending time reading all the posts and laughing when I could be doing something more productive with my time. I am annoyed that Roger is going to Rome, Jerry is going to China and I am here in London and it is about to start snowing (ok I did just come back from Cape Town but so what). I want another holiday right now!!

I'm trapped at home. Sick. With three sick kids. Just kill me now. *sigh*
Kim wrote: "I'm trapped at home. Sick. With three sick kids. Just kill me now. *sigh*"I'm so annoyed because you've made me feel really sorry for you Kim and I want to say nice things to cheer up but I can't because its not complaining so I'm complaining that I can't do that!
Lucas wrote: "Zack wrote: "You'll just complain IN and ABOUT Rome… ."I got a beef that you know several languages including Italian so that you'll be the only one who will know everything that's going on about..."
I'm annoyed that Lucas pointed out an error in a book therefore making me work and change it. Pain in my a$$!
I'm beyond pissed that I couldn't figure out how to transfer my Calibre library onto my new computer thereby making me grovel to my friend who had to walk me thru it. Now I have to work on improving my oral skillz to pay him back because I got no $$. Annoying, right?

I'm kvetching again because the word is in the the free Merriam-Webster dictionary on line as well as in the online Free Dictionary plus it can be freely googled so there is no need to invest,
Of an age? The first use of kvetch is shown as 1952 although I think it might be older so it's not exactly 21st century urban slang,
Oh, and I'm really sorry you have teenagers who say MILF. If they are into salacious and titillating acronyms at such a young age it's too late to have them learn English now. Maybe they could take ESL courses.

Well yeah like it's a real bother to click on edit and type the correct title. Well at least you didn't mess it up I see it's now fixed as Boys of Fast Lane.
Oh and it's it so hot it's combustible. Gil has to baby sit a Bieberesque teenage star to keep him out of trouble but the trouble the boy star wants to get into is in Gil's pants.

Well you might think that's so annoying but what about poor Aves because he is passenger jet pilot so he has to bring people like you to their vacation spots but as the captain he can't stay and enjoy it. He has to get back into a cockpit and fly people to some other locale. Harumph!

Lucas wrote: "I'm so miffed that you didn't join sooner and if I knew you were coming I'd a baked a cake. Welcome to our bitchin' home sweet home away from home..."I am offended that there's no cake to celebrate our prolific, collective whining. Also, it is a measure of how incredibly messed up things are that I know I'll enjoy the heck out of this group.
Aves wrote: "Lucas, Don't you ever sleep?!I hate it Lucas, Jerry and Roger all have wonderful husbands, or husbands to-be, while I remain the Bridget Jones of the gay world."
It is a grievous offense to my sense of justice that, after hanging out here in GR for as long as you have and being the absolute sweetheart that you are, no hunky, muscular, exactly-as-gorgeous-and-well-hung-as-profiled gay man has fallen head-over-heels in love with you.
Utter injustice, I tell you!
bloody hell now i am totally ticked...why must i be celebrated for no reason...I hate you guys and I hate this group....I only say this in opposite form because it seems more fun as a complaint.

Dear, dearest, Fangtasia. What a doll you are! Thank you.
I'm wondering if it's the bony, barnacled ridge that runs the length of my spine...

Now I'm annoyed because I had to look it up and it is a word. If you don't have a dictionary program there a bunch of free ones online including the Free Dictionary.
I'm also really teed off that you entered the contest for m/m romance group membesr to win Rogers most recent novel because if you win everyone will think it is rigged because I like you which I do but since you won't accept Goodreads messages I can't tell you that!

Just shut up and be glad everybody here likes you. No wait. Don't shut up. Keep complaining.

I hate that I interrupted my reading to come and see what everyone else is complaining about.
I'm mad that I wasn't allowing messages from my "non" friends and didn't even remember setting that limit. I'm also mad that I changed it!!
I am pissed off that I find all of your complaints amusing which made me decide to join the group!
Pftt.., Kvetch, Kvetching!! I hate that you are trying to inflict your Americanisms on us Brits what speak Proper English! I am also gutted that you are correct in your assumption that my very lovely, respectful, charming teenagers need to take ESL courses! Why? you might ask, well... their minds have been corrupted! Yes, and it all started with Blue's Clue's, then we had Barney and I am afraid it has just escalated! I am just distraught by it all! Americanisms are infiltrating our daily lives, it is becoming impossible to escape!Aaaaaand I so draw the line at Awesome and Soccer! Nah, that just ain't happening anytime soon... you can keep them! Well done and Football... so much better!
Oh... and while we are at it, I want cake too!
I just hate, hate, hate it that these totally handsome, hunky-academic, regular guy- guys, "FRIEND" me on goodreads, when it's quite evident that they haven't bothered to read my profile.I read theirs of course, after checking out their pictures. Invariably, they're hot, hot, hot and cool, cool, cool.
"George" lists among his many interests, "NFL, sports, military history, hunting, games, movies, and travel". He also likes to read thrillers, horror, sci-fi, political science, and YA, whatever that is. Total guy stuff! NOTHING, anywhere, about m/m romance, gay fiction, gay-anything.
I kind of dig this of course, but what's a manly guy-guy doing, wanting to "FRIEND" a little sissy gay-boy like me?
Grrrrrrrr....*gnashing of teeth, index finger poised over "IGNORE" button*
I'm bothered that Aves doesn't know that YA stands for Young Adult and I doubt that many guy guys out there will admit to liking YA books. Don't hit "ignore" Aves, there's still hope yet!
Monique's Musings wrote: "Pftt.., Kvetch, Kvetching!! I hate that you are trying to inflict your Americanisms on us Brits what speak Proper English! I am also gutted that you are correct in your assumption that my very love..."I sort of feel for you, Monique. I consider myself a patriotic American, with a good deal of stiff-upper-lip, faux-Oxford. aspirational-English-accent, traditional-English-boarding-school straitlacedness baked in. I sound more American than faux-Oxford these days but I jar myself on occasion by using words such as "fortnight", "brilliant", "had it off with___" and "bollocks". Did that last one slip under the no-profanity wire?
I get really distressed when I visit my friends in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, to find that with each passing year, they're sounding more and more like us! I don't want that! I want Americanisms to stay here with us in America, where they can do no harm, and for the rest of the world to carry on with what's theirs. I went to Australia for a reason, to have hamburgers with beetroot and fried egg, and not run into yet another "Mickey D's" offering the dreaded Big Macs and fries.
Thanks to Paris Hilton, our land is now populated with hip, edgy, and cool young sophisticates who have no idea what the difference is between "your" and "you're".

Don't hit "ignore" Aves, there's still hope yet!"Well, what am I to do, Shannon? Should I write "George" back and say, "I shall APPROVE your FRIEND requst, with the proviso that you are fully aware that I am a big, ole raging homosexual"? Would that do it?
I must grungingly admit though, you're right about that YA-thing. There's a glimmer of hope.

Geez. Aves - wait, this guy can actually read at the YA level. I thought you wanted a dumb jock?
Don't forget to tell to tell him that you've got a great, big. humongous, long and thick... fuselage and include the profile photo of Captain Aves with his powerful passenger jet with that sweet open jetway almost as nice as yours.

Lucas, Lucas , Lucas. Are those sexual innuendoes you're making. Not happy!!! You are corrupting a straight old ( ish) lady. Shame on you young man!! If I wasn't so annoyed I'd have a big smile on my face.....

And I'm cheesed off that he uses a perfectly innocuous work picture to talk about my junk - front and rear.
Wise guy. Someone sit on Lucas and put him in his place!

And Lucas is bugging me getting all sexual and stuff. *runs to tell hubby to get the hell home*

What me? innuendo? Never. I usually just flat out make a crack about his crack say send him a pic of your luscious, beautiful bubble butt you old nellie."

I'm sad just thinking that people make comments like that! It's appalling....;o) I'm even more annoyed at myself for leaving a winking smiley!

See what I mean. The young men of today! No respect for their elders! Bad boy.... Bad bad boy, somebody needs a good spanking. I'm horrified!!!!!!!!!
Macky wrote: "somebody needs a good spanking."Yeah, but Lucas would enjoy that too much.
And I know it! No respect!

You are lucky the rule against criticizing other members here has an exemption that says nevertheless you may criticize the moderator.In fact I encourage it.

I'm really, really steamed up that I've sat here in my hotel room for the better part of two hours, watching for new posts on this board, when I should have been dragging my sorry ass downstairs to work out! Now it's dinner time!
Well its annoyingly close to bedtime for this old Nellie so I'm hauling my old bubble butt up to bed. I'm not happy at all that I'll have to start complaining again tomorrow. Aves enjoy your dinner and Lucas be good!

I am teed-off that my explanation for everything usually involves saying I live in New York City.
Americanism? It's Yiddish. I live in Manhattan.
Crickey I hate reading a British m/m romance novel and come across a sentence with a load of cack like, "One bog-standard day in front of the chippy and the caff as Nigel opened the boot of his car, the blighter in the lorry yelled "Get your arse out of the street you barmy sod and get up on the bloody pavement' which led to a argy-bargy." and bob's your uncle I'm buggered.

WooHoo we got Aves talking all nasty! Wait that's not a complaint....um.....er.....it pisses me off it took us so long to bring Aves down to our level. There!
Lucas wrote: "Monique's Musings wrote: "Pftt.., Kvetch, Kvetching!! I hate that you are trying to inflict your Americanisms on us Brits what speak Proper English! I am also gutted that you are correct in your as..."So annoyed that in order to translate this sentence I had to go to Google and found that on the first word there are multiple explanations that my American brain went "what?" on. Did you know that "chippy" can be either a British pub that serves fish and chips or slang for a carpenter? Who knew? But I "hate" how a car trunk is a boot. Makes me feel like I need to go shoe shopping :-)
OH, and thanks so much for the visual, I will never be able to fly in an airplane again without thinking of a big, huge phallic symbol. Flying will never be the same.
I'm just miffed that Lucas won't admit that he wants someone to sit on him and give him a good spankin. There's no judgement here Lucas, let it all out! :p

Chippy in Britspeak can also be a prostitute, Thus you may have a "Chippy in a chippy talking to a chippy." which would be "A whore in a shop selling fried fish and fried potato slices taking to a truck driver."
As for your hatred of boot meaning an automobile's trunk consider that that in Great Britain a car hood is called a bonnet. How'd you like like to wear that on your head?

Shannon you rude ignorant slut My dear Shannon later in the evening if Tom, my husband to be, is lucky I'll reward him by sitting on his face. As for spanking we are both muscular jocks who carry on the grand tradition of snapping wet towels at each others tushes after showering which is a long, revered male ritual in locker rooms throughout the country. That's as close to spanking as we get as we are both dominant but versatile proud gay manly athletes.
Lucas wrote: "I'm buggered"What's wrong with getting buggered?! Best thing ever invented...allegedly.
