The grumpy thread

[xtriple]

Xtriple what car does he drive??

It seems to vary as he kills lots of cars, at the mo' it's a 51 reg MINI Cooper. He did have a lovely Renault Clio sport thing (quite new 58 reg) in dark blue it was nice... then got a rather large dent in the door, that never got repaired and just went downhill from then. Had a BMW something that died and was sold for peauts again, quite new, rather nice until ruined.

[fordperv]

So realistically because he can't keep a car nice he hates the fact that someone else can and is bothered about how their car looks, sounds like a div

23 ghours without a ciggy, and I haven't stabbed anyone. 

 

Probably should be in the grin thread, but I'm grumpy, been hungry all day, and will end up back at 20 stone again if I'm not careful. 

[Parky]

I am doing the vape thing too. It's helping, but it ain't quite the same...

 

Fag breaks are harder to regulate!

[Cheggers]

Fucksticks...I need to be in New York at the same time as Shitefest. Not happy (or, indeed, any of the 6 other dwarves)

[outlaw118]

I'm tending towards the "little and often" thing.... a few puffs to take the craving off, then one or two for "luck".... mmmm And black Cherry flavour too!

 so he could shout at me for letting the dog pee on his wheel.

My one dog pees on my car's wheels, I'd rather he didn't, but it's slightly less worse than him cocking his leg against someone that I'm talking to. Which he has done more than once.

That Iceland advert on the telly: 'We knew we were going to be expecting a delivery but we didn't know who it would be' Who did you expect when you ordered your shopping from the Iceland then, B and fucking Q? Twats.

Ha! Am doing the Cherry too!

 

Actually that sounds a bit rude.....

[UmBongo]

The Swift needs a rear caliper.

 

Buggeration.

 

However, the dude did fix my Silvia windscreen skooshers FOC.

[bub2006]

21 years ago today my mum passed away. She was only 32. Never gets easier really.

[twosmoke300]

Certainly doesn't - mine passed 12 years ago at 56 which was bad enough . 

[Captain Furious]

Sorry to hear that, 32 is no age at all, and neither is 56 for that matter

 

My Dad died in 2010, he was 64. As a kid I've been through the loss of relatives, Grandparents etc but somehow losing a parent is on a whole new level that you never really get over.

[bub2006]

I had just turned 8 an my sister was 6. To top it all off I've just gotbin car to go to cemetery and battery gave up the ghost.

[Negative Creep]

Ambulance behind you? Why not stop dead in front of it, that will help them get to the emergency quicker

 

[gm]

insurance renewal time for the mazda - alongside the misery of wasting half an hour on the phone to these twats (of which at least a third involved being on hold) I was gobsmacked to be asked "can you confirm your address please as I can't find your house on google maps to check you have a garage ?" I think that must be a new low point for the industry as a whole.

 

Annoyingly, their price has been the best so far but they won't be getting any of my hard earned after that

[Captain Furious]

Been proper bellend overload on the roads today, was out of work earlier than usual and thought I'd miss them but no

 

One in particular who crossed 3 lanes to *undertake* me at about 100mph, I know the outside lane was empty because I'd just left it after overtaking a lorry and I was indicating to get back into the slow lane, when he comes stonking down and cuts across the whole motorway between me and the lorry, passes me on the inside then cuts across everything else back to the fast lane

 

I saw him at the last minute, but I'm not going to lie a big part of me wanted to crash into him on purpose

 

If downloading dashcam footage wasn't such a faff I'd post it up...

[twosmoke300]

See I think that's a good idea . Honest people will have nowt to worry about .

There must be thousands of people that lie about garaging their cars to get cheaper insurance .

[Captain Furious]

When I got my insurance I had quotes with and without garaging it and they were identical, so I figured why bother telling them it's garaged, just another get out for them if it happens to be stolen the one night it isn't in there.

[Pillock]

Agreed on the motorway bellendery today. Saw a Megane brake-testing a LWB Sprinter, swerving in front of it at 80+. Not sure who was the biggest twat, the Sprinter had been undertaking and I'm sure there had been a bit of gesturing too, but then they tried to undertake a 307 too who reacted by pulling back in front, slowing down which made the sprinter driver attempt to pass on the hard shoulder.

 

I just want to get home in one piece, so I slowed down to lorrypace for a bit and let them take it further up the road

[dave21478]

There must also be thousands of people whos garage isnt visible on google maps who are treated like liars because insurance companies prefer to rely on Big Brother tactics.

[Captain Furious]

I tend to dawdle along with the lorrys most of the time because I don't have the energy for close quarter combat with fucknuggets on the M6 at 5pm

 

But today I'd sort of been forced into the middle lane to allow traffic to merge from a slip road and then overtaken the lorrys in the middle lane...god knows where this prick came from but I certainly hadn't impeded his progress or lane hogged, because when I left the fast lane he was nowhere near me and I went straight from the fast lane back to the slow lane ready for my exit.

 

Was praying I'd see him upside down on fire further up but no God answered them. Probably won't be long if that's how he drives.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I can't see what the problem is with telling your insurance that your car is garaged if it isn't, as long as you accept that you can't then claim its been robbed off your driveway. No-one is being ripped off?

One of my favourite bits of that kind of carry-on was on the motorway in France - a geezer in 3 series BM on Belgian plates and bashed up old Renner scenic - they were overtaking, undertaking, brake-testing each other etc, then the passenger in the renner emptied an entire two litre bottle of something yellowy all over the BM's lovely shiny paintwork.

I'd just finished volutarily listing all of the modifications I'd done to the car so highly unlikely to tell porkies about where I keep it overnight. my street isn't even on street view so he had to take my word for it anyway.

[Pillock]

The phrasing is usually "Where is it normally kept" - so telling them it's garaged when you don't own a garage will let them wiggle out of a claim, where telling them it's garaged and not using your garage every night will be fine.

[Negative Creep]

Have heard that insurance companies don't like garages because there's more chance the owner will hit something driving in or out, and potential thieves can work undisturbed. Not sure how much truth there is in that.

[HH-R]

There's probably some truth in that - I used to religiously garage mine until I put about a 9 inch scratch down the side from my fat arse getting out when wearing a coat. Total damage when left outside, 0.

[Cheggers]

Apparently their preferred situation is kept on a driveway as that's statistically most secure (like you say, thieves can work undisturbed in a garage).
