Whilst nothing could match the excitement of the original Arse Cup, won by Thommo, how about an Arse Professions Cup?

If you're interested, any nominations? I'm looking for 8.
 
Surely it's no contest....it's gotta be the taxman!

Mind you, I'm waiting for my profession to be nominated.... :lol:
 
I'd be inclined to say taxpeople are worse than journalists...then again I haven't had any personal reason to hate journalists!
 
Any dealings I have had with the tax office over here, especially in recent years when there was a drive to make it more client friendly, have been entirely satisfactory. Fair enough, they take your money, but you voted the politicians in to make them do that.

No, my nomination is Policemen. Not just any old ploliceman, mind you, motorbike policemen. I don't mean motorbike police persons, I mean motorbike policemen.

Generally speaking, the selection process is such that extremely personable, outgoing, intelligent young men get the positions. Put them through a few weeks training and stick them in a uniform and they take on an air of confidence and authority which is quite unbecoming. Stick them on a motorcycle and they become sour, arrogant, cynical bastards so full of their own self importance that they ignore the entire essesence of the reason for their existance, with every action they take designed to fulfill their lust for recognition of their power to create misery.
 
Right!

Accountants
Lawyers
'The Taxman'
Journalists
Police

I'll add politicians.

Two more please!!!
 
You could remove accountants.

I don't really think they are that bad and will not progress past the first round no matter who they are drawn against.

Replace with taxi drivers.
 
Are we to nominate only one Terry, as I have a few! B)

You cannot generalise of course, but I do find some Estate Agents extremely irritating.

Double Glazing Salesmen

Any telephone salespeople that work for any company who cold calls my office and tries every way they can to tell the reception that I am expecting their call :angy:

Some garage salespeople that work for larger garages. How do they know I cannot actually afford a brand new Lexus 4x4? "Is the car for your husband madam?" :angy:
(I wasn't really buying one, I just wanted to be nosey!) :D

Dustmen who seem hell bent on causing as much disruption as possble in the morning. I am sure they park their cart in the most awkward position ever just to wind up the motorists.

Some policemen. Having been witness to a crime in the last 6 months I was actually amazed at how inept and amateur some of the police force are.

Politicians, especially most of the Labour ones and especially the current Prime Minister? :angy:
 
I am not sure how to define arse here.

To me if something is 'Arse' then it is just pretty shite.

That means it isn't much use at what it does. So Thommo was arse because he isn't very good whereas Big Mac may be very annoying but isn't necessarily all that arse.

When it comes to professions then I suppose it is about professions which don't really do what they are supposed to do or do it very badly.
 
Could you define "arse" please. I had felt arse and arsehole could be used interchangeably. This may help my understanding as to how Willie Carson did not win the Arse Cup. He surely would have won the Arsehole cup.
 
:D

Well this is a key issue here. What is arse???

Carson is definitely Arse but not as Arse as Thommo.
 
1. Aer Lingus air hostesses.
2. Shop helpers who put your change on the counter when you extend your hand.
3. Taxi Drivers (SC+)
4. Bouncers
 
Melendez, to state that "you felt arse" could lead people to get the wrong impression of you and they may want you to name names. Naturally, not me of course.... :D
 
Now some of those rip-off plumbers can be an arse too? I had one turn up who quoted me £320.00 to do a basic plumbing job and so I pretended he was being filmed for that Builders from Hell TV programme. My boyfriend was hiding in the cellar and nearly wet himself laughing when he heard what was going on. It was a horrible experience and will now not just take any number out of the yellow pages! :blink: The plumber moved like grease lightning when he thought he was being filmed and then had to rush back in again as he remembered he had turned the stop cock off.
:D
PS I evenutally got the job done for £45 plus vat! It was only to connect a hot pipe for my washing machine. h:)
 
I think that builders and plumbers will have to come under 'Builders and related trades' as there's a lot of shite out there.

I'm not sure what lawyers are supposed to do. Are they supposed to defend people who they know are guilty? If they aren't then they are surely Arse?
 
I have nothing against Lawyers (apart from their fee's) Terry, I think personally there are worse trades to be involved in and let's face it, it's the industries that most people think are an arse as a whole that should be included, rather than the occassional "bum"!

I have had cause to use solicitors recently and although they charge £150 plus vat for a letter or two, those letters have saved me a fortune. It was certainly money well spent. I would not have them in my arse category so to speak.
 
What about being a Royal Footman. Paul Burrell said when he was The Queen's footman, he spent alot of time picking up corgi shit from the carpet! Now surely a pooper scooping footman, must be ranked as an arse proffession. :blink:
