The grumpy thread

Bought a Vauxhall Corsa 9 days ago and only used it last sat/sun and today. I have only done 90 miles in it and the oil pressure switch has failed losing all the engine oil while driving. Now it rattles like a cunt!! Buggeration :cry:

Just washed the Granny today, can I find my chammy? So it's had to dry in the sun, which means it's going to be streaky until the next time. Mind that was 4 hours ago, so the cats have probably strolled all over it again by now. :( Maybe they won't do that as much when we move.

Fixed my neighbour's daughters Corsa that had this problem a couple of months back. It's amazing how much oil they throw out when they pack up. About £6.75 all in from ebay iirc and a five minute job to do. Might be worth lobbing some of that STP oil treatment stuff in once done.

MONGS with foglights on when it's not foggy.

 

CRETINS with main beam on in town, dazzling oncoming traffic.

 

IDIOTS with one headlight on main beam, and one sidelight.

 

TARDS with sidelights + foglights, but no headlights.

 

See a pattern emerging here... :x

 

Have you been in Paphos? You should have said! I'd have bought you a drink!

Considering my interests and lifestyle have an absolutely minimal impact on others, why the hell aren't I just left to get on with things? Even the few things I do aren't without incident. Whatever I do, it seems I regularly piss people off to the point of confrontation. I currently have so many scores to settle that I pretty much need a Filofax to keep track. Contrary to popular belief, I'm not particularly short-tempered, but every day is a struggle where I have to constantly remind myself of what the consequences would be for beating someone to death with a wheel brace. Even the most innocuous things seem to incite confrontation with others and I seem to regularly be treated like shit for no real reason, generally by people who have absolutely no valid reason to talk to me in the first place.

 

Perhaps this happens in waves and I've had so many dickheads to deal with that I won't have any for the next 20 years or so.

Haha, not quite. Just goes to show there are fcuking mong drivers everywhere. I think from now on I'll deal with the main beam drivers by giving them some long bursts of VW Crafter main beam...like I did to one last night :twisted:

The 'professional dream pychologist' on Steve Wright in the afternoon...

ast night I dreamt I had to fly from Australia to New Zealand, but the pilot terrified everyone by flying a few feet off the ground

I seem to easily make enemies with some people I meet, it just happens without me trying! You just have to remember that most people don't really matter in the course of life.

Here speaks a truck driver! Actually that's quite a generous assessment of a typical day...

Ahhhhh...... public radio. Hopefully, we will get ours here de-funded by the new Congress. There is no need for public subsidy of this kind of programming, we're in enough debt. Cut out the gangrenous tissue and save the host organism! Public broadcasting slant the news and lead all sort of political rants and campaigns whilst on public pay, being the bearded lentillists of Scooter's excellent post on nukes, for example. It's not the slanting and ranting I complain of per se, mind. But the public funding of it. With the plethora of private broadcasters, net news sources, blogger viewpoints, and much of it opinionated (liberal as well as conservative), who the hell needs tax money going to opinionated public broadcasting?

 

Yo Normski! Dont be offended by this, but FUCK OFF!!!!! And praise the lord for the fuggin BBC, its one of the best things about the UK full stop.

Used the bus today, for a journey of 8 miles. A single was £4.40, the return £4.50. Why do you get shafted for only wanting to go somewhere?

 

Train's the same. Aberystwyth to Birmingham single £21. Return is £23 - though more if you want to stay in Brum and come back the next day. Then you are PUNISHED for having such disloyal feelings.

It is if you're a raving Leftie, it's your natural home! For anyone else, it's just another waste of our taxes. Incidentally, is it actually possible to get a job at the BBC if you're not Scottish? Just wondered....

 

*Well not mine any longer, but you know what I mean...

No, I agree with Bollox - the beeb is the best we've got. As for it being the home of raving lefties, have you seen the look on Nick Robinson's face now the BLue Tories are in power? Lefty my arse.

Commercial radio sucks in the UK, I can't stand the output from it.

RTé1 isn't bad on longwave.

M'c... You want to have a listen to Rock FM. Not the Preston-based ILR, although that's bad enough, but the one we have here in Paphos (rockfm985.com) which is all the English-language radio there is. Something like 6 hours of programming that even approaches being worth a listen, and that's all at weekends. The rest... defies description. Let me just say, the original Ford radio in my Granada wasn't designed to pick up FM, and there's nothing here on AM -- and I'm glad!

+3 on the BBC.

 

If anyone's in any doubt as to whether it's worth watching then just check the incredibly fucking cretinous mongs ITV seem to emply as presenters. I have honestly never believed for one minute the BBC are a bunch of Socialist Party/left wing/New Labia-ites either.

Commercial radio is dog shit too.

Is it possible for any ex-pats to not be received opinion-spouting Middle Englander twats?

Thank you. Finally someone agrees with me about ITV. I hate it, and the huge amount of unecessary emphasism they put on everything negative, it's like the autocue has all the bad words underlined so they can make it seem a whole lot worse.

And they make a dogs dinner out of most Drama series' they do too, the BBC cannot be beaten on that front.
