twosmoke300 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 My dad has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. Lives alone at the moment ( Mum died at 56 , 13 years ago) so I think big changes are afoot .This , and me and the wife splitting up mean that 2017/18 can fuck right off .

LabRat Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Warning, Boring modern content (also Vauxhall Insignia content) This morning's warning light bingo brought to you by Vauxhall... Bastard thing is idling @ around 2500rpm, engine fan is running flat out and the temp gauge isnt moving past the 1/4 mark. Spluttering like a good one and dropping into limp mode too. Oh yeah and the fucking esp has faulted out, again. Despite spending £££ diagnosing and supposedly fixing it. Anyone would think it actually wants to become a Chinese fridge.

rantingYoof Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 On train to Birmingham. MP3 player died at Rugby. Man nearby sleeping the sleep of the recently executed. Literally head back, both arms by side palms outwards. Making noises normally associated with large African creatures frolicking in watering holes. I was up at 5:20am and normal low tolerance levels are at record trough. It's gonna be a long trip made worse by the unusually base spec train with no arm rests or tables. *twitch* purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They All Do That Sir" is another equally appropriate phrase too. You'll all be shocked* to learn that even Vauxhall haven't got much clue what's up with the bloody thing,other than its fucked. Time to chalk it up to experience and get rid methinks, whilst it's still got something resembling a trade in value.

motorpunk Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 No accidents in 27 years of driving, loads of driving abroad, loads of winging it in shonky crap, and plenty of amateur motorsport shenanigans without so much as a stone chip. Then, twice in one bastard week, I reverse my shiny new(ish) car into a fucking bollard. Twice. And the car has parking sensors. A trip to the bodyshop awaits.

Well now, Morrissey released 'Viva Hate', 'Vauxhall And I' and 'Years Of Refusal', so I'm guessing he still hasn't got over his HC's tendency to blow oil up the air box breather and clog the filter, leading to poor starting.

stephen01 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Grumpy because SCS want to deliver our new chairs tomorrow, they were not best pleased when I said no. Grumpy because it means I've got to start paying for them. £3500 for fucking chairs, Chairs I didn't want. Grumpy because SCS are an absolute wanky company to deal with, grumpy because SCS are the only supplier of this model of GPlan the wife wanted so we had to buy direct from SCS. Our local SCS branch were so bad in terms of pushing sales we left and went to a different branch 15 miles away, who were less pushy but still tell you one thing in store and then another on the phone.

We bought some sofas from Harveys. Paid £1k for a 3 seat and a 2 seat sofa. Really crap quality. Even the seat cushions only have fabric on one side with the other having some thin mesh type stuff, so you can't flip them. I imagine that saved them a couple of quid by doing that. The base cushions don't stay on the seat and keep sliding off when you sit on them. I'll be very surprised if they last more than 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthebeard Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Needs must (skint) so am going for a job* interview tomorrow morning. No biggie, just a part time job doing three evenings a week at the local Spar shop. Mrs Beard decreed that I needed a haircut to look my best*. Normal number two buzz cut on my white/grey swede.Mrs B has been cutting my hair since I went badger grey and gave up with any attempt at a hair style circa 2004.Owing to being distracted by work pressures she wasn't concentrating and forgot to fit the Number 2 clipper attachment and went straight in without. Resulting in a perfect totally shaved stripe front to back! .FFS.Rectification* work now has me with a head looking like a bust of Ross Kemp carved from a turnip. That will help no end then.

Can I interest you in a 1970 G Plan Charlotte 3+1+1, recovered in a pretty bloody hardwearing fabric about 3 or 4 years ago at great cost! when the guy was recovering it, I went by to take a look, the frame is a hardwood and a work of art on its own. Just had some new 'legs' as the wife said it was low, these alone cost nearly £100. should really put it on ebay etc but that will cause a load of more grumps from me. mercrocker, STUNO, andrew e and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave21478 Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Fuck everything about the cost of new furniture. Apparently the mattress industry is also all a massive con with stunningly huge mark-ups by the retailer. It makes me laff as on the televisual device over here there is an advert for some posh brand of Italian sofas and for a few seconds there is a shot of some artisan guy pretending to use a hand plane on a sheet of plywood. stonedagain, tooSavvy and Sigmund Fraud 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooSavvy Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 ^^ we recently bought a metal frame bed, for clear space under, rather than drawer divan.With it we got a new mattress (quite a large slice off list price) which has pre-sown on a contour foam 'topper'. Got to say... Lovely and controlled comfy TS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
