The grumpy thread

I was fucking lucky in June.  Wife spotted it as soon as she took one look at me, and the ambulance was with me in 5 mins, GTN tablet under the tongue 5 mins after that. 

Monitor the paramedic didn't show a problem, but blood tests at A@E showed very high enzymes. 

I probably had one a week before, and if I'd ignored that one, I'd have had a massive one a week later. 

So the moral is, if you have chest pains, get it checked out. Might be indigestion, might be a heart problem. 

I went to a slightly alternative doctor 2 years ago with chest pains and slight breathing difficulties. After half an hour of heart trace scans, listening to chest etc... didnt show anything. So he told me to relax my arm, at which point he whipped my arm round behind me and I felt and heard a big crack from my chest muscles. The relief was instant and he said, „thats it, you have been suffering from stress and its tensed you up!“

That was brilliant! Sadly there would have been no chance of that with the 5 minute appointments given by the local NHS practice at the time.

Is this the one where you get a recorded message about your Amazon Prime direct debit asking you to press 1? If so I had that one earlier today, did not press 1 as firstly I don't have Amazon Prime and secondly I had answered on an old fashioned phone with a dial. These days if the landline rings I know it is most likely a sales/scam call or a wrong number. Most of the people who would only call me on a landline are now no longer with us.

I realise that it's just a machine, but this has made me disproportionately grumpy:

A Korean man who travelled 64,000 kilometers around the world arrived in Manchester - and had his bike nicked

Had a mate aepu d today to swap the wanky bmw alloys for steels on his new work van (prima star) only to find the weapons grade wanker who fitted them used the wrong thread of locking wheel nut and just buzzed them in with a gun. 

Now I've to get the correct tap and hopefully salvage his hubs. 

 

What an absolute shitrag, I wish people who haven't a clue would leave the tools to someone else.

Some bastards tried to snap the aerial off the mx-5 last night. Judging by the effort taken to straighten it, it wasn't a kid.

Chipped the paint around it too which is a bonus.

I wonder what motivates people to do this shit, didn't you piss off a neighbour some time go over wheely bins or summat ?

It was only recently that you taunted someone with "i got an mx5" 🤔🤔🤔, maybe you pushed his buttons a little bit too far and he drove through the night to inflict misery upon you by tweeking your aerial or it could just be a cockwomble on his way home from the pub at 10 o'clock 

Ghosty's nearly three hours away. I would have more than tweaked an aerial after a three hour drive.

What an absolute wanker's trick. Unlikely I suppose, but hope he gets it back as well as his belongings and can carry on with his journey.

Trying to get information from this eBay seller I bought a front wing from is like getting blood out of a stone. 

It’s collect in person and I’ve had 2 offers of shitely so far, folks want me to help them with something on Friday, which is 2 thirds of the way there, so I might as well get it myself.

Seller wants to know what day next weekend, I’ve said Saturday morning, and apparently that’s difficult for him. Why can’t he leave the wing in a safe place for me to collect?

Also why has eBay switched to a QR code for the seller to scan as “collection details”? Makes no sense at all.

My grump today is modern fly spray! I left a window open for a few hours 3 days ago and a fly decided to move in. Now this fly hides until I sit down and put my feet up, at which point it practices close fly-by flying on my head. By the time I stand up with suitable newspaper, it is back to hiding, so found the can of fly spray. It used to be a half second blast into a room would see any flying object within 30 miles rapidly turning into a mini vibrator and 45 seconds later, peace was restored. This new fly spray smells the same, but I am sure it is now formulated as after shave for flys. Over the last 3 days I have dosed the room to the extent I am starting to like the smell myself and have started keeping the tin next to my chair. So far, I have made direct contact with the spray mist twice, and the little bastard is still dive bombing me!

Where did I put that petrol?

Did you know that the aerial can be I'm screwed and used to clear out blocked drain tubes for the soft top ?

In Newmarket visiting the folks after I delivered nearby. Had to do my weekly shop in Tesco Extra. Bedlam. Who knew posh people could turn into gannets over nowt. Loo roll aisle decimated. Had to pay four quid for four rolls. One assumes at that price that a luscious nymphette bursts out if the wrapper offering free sexual favours for life.
