The grumpy thread

[maxpower]

Fabreeeze air freshener for not doing stronger cans so i could smash the guy's car window who did a hit and run on my car today.... luckily i haz dashcam

 

also as an added rant.... THE MET POLICE.... who couldn't be arsed to attend the scene (wtf is my council tax paying for?) after the lee rigby & "Nice episodes... you would think that they would rush out to scene for someone not only driving on wrong side of the road in his effort to escape but also doing it on the wrong side of the road..against cycle lanes and on the pavement must have been coffee & doughnuts time for plod.

Today someone I've never met and know nothing about other than what cars he drives, made me a bit sad.

There's a bloke lives around here with the number 911 FWD , which has been on various 911s, an RS4 and RS6 Audi and from memory a Jag F Type. In fact some pretty nice cars over the 20 or so years I've noticed .

 

Today I saw that familiar number on a feckin American milk float thing, yes a Tesla Smug Cunt S or whatever, perhaps he's died and his widows sold the plate, yes that would seem a better scenario for all concerned.

I haven't had any success in selling the cabrio so tonight I began changing the front arm bushes... Ho hum.

[M'coli]

Bollocks. I was just reading this shit on here and missed my son taking his first steps on his own downstairs. 

Only 13 or so years to go, then:

[beko1987]

Not a true grump, but a bit sad, just parked the zx at work for the last time! (hopefully)

 

[purplebargeken]

13.6 tonne. Of which 12.5 tonne was him. Cunt.

[chaseracer]

Maybe, but I'm a stubborn twat!

 

JFDI...

 

[chaseracer]

There's a reason why Parcel Force, UPS, TNT etc. are £12 or so per parcel and MyHermes are £4.99.

 

What do you expect?

 

Gosh, I don't know - the service advertised, or something radical* like that?

[purplebargeken]

Fuck off cold, getting pissed off now.

[Captain Furious]

Charity Muggers, particularly in the workplace.

 

Oh hey, do you want to sponsor me for a 2 mile afternoon stroll in the park, you're free to say no but as I've just really loudly announced it in this open plan office, you will look like a cunt if you do.

 

Also, isn't being sponsored for charity supposed to be for doing something arduous, or that you otherwise wouldn't really want to do? Like shaving your head or spending 8 years in a Soviet forced labour camp. Nowadays its all, sponsored white water rafting, parachuting, hang gliding, or in this latest case, a 2.5km 'fun run'  2.5KM?  Even an unfit twat like me could run that.  Hey do you want to sponsor me for having a really awesome day out?  Sure, wanna sponsor me for going out to the pub tonight and getting pissed?  Thought not.

 

Not to even mention the countless cards and collections for birthdays, deaths, marriages, births, retirements...mostly for people I've never heard of.  No word of a lie the other week we had a collection for someone whose wife's step-father had died.  Sorry, sympathy for your loss and all, but WTF!

Is that a euphemism?

[dugong]

Selling stuff.

[M'coli]

You should try selling a house in a recession, that's fun.

COMPLAINT RESCINDED

[garbaldy]

Can't be any worse than trying to sell a sierra,

Can't be any worse than trying to sell a sierra,

Totally agree with all of this.   I would give money to someone who has made a bit of effort like that punter who 'ran' the marathon in a brass diving suit a few years back but doing a 10k or something?   GTF.  

 

You should accept that you look like a cunt already, once you get used to it things get easier and you can just face down these chuggers and sympathy card merchants.

Are we back?

Tapatalk's being a twat ('cos the forum is not a happy item on my phone I persist with it), I've been working like a motherfucker and I have nothing to show for it. I also still don't have fucking paypal back.


Oh yeah, and our schools go back a week on Monday. I will need four coaches and four school buses for the schools going back. I currently have about three and a half coaches and one schoolbus. We have allegedly just bought "two old Volvos" for delivery next week so I fully expect things to be either all good in the hood or a fucking catastrophe. 

[Guest Biggus Dickus]

Its funny* how when you phone up a company to cancel their service that they always offer a lower price or a better deal to keep your business.

IF YOU WANTED TO KEEP MY CUSTOM PERHAPS YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE KEPT SHAFTING ME AT YOUR OLD PRICE.

It doesnt matter how "better" the revised offer is, Im not going to stay purely out of principal. They could have lowered the price I pay years ago but chose to keep milking me. Well, this tit has dried up. NO MORE MILK FOR YOU, MOTHERFUCKERS.

[Tamworthbay]

Not wanting to put others grumps down but sometimes something comes along and metaphorically pisses on your boots and punches you in the face, then rightly tells you to shut the fuck up and be grateful that all you have to moan about is a few minor issues that you will forget by tomorrow. That happened today when I found out a really nice kid we know is in a coma with meningitis and it's not looking good. Life can be really shit sometimes and especially to those who deserve it least it seems.

I'm not sure I see your problem there.

Teslas are awesome and it is not possible to have a bigger knob chariot than an RS6 is it? Maybe a BMW X6 but it's a close run thing.

Electric cars are not real cars, I've only recently accepted diesel cars .

Yes any car that's got 500 BHP fourwheeldrive and can carry a family and their luggage across continents faster than a super car is a terrible, terrible thing. Audi should make all their cars with 2.0 Tdi engines .

I Agee with you on the X6 though( at least until X6M' s are down to a couple of grand)

Wot, his big chopper?

 

No, sorry. Just he lands in the field 100 m from me.

I'm confused by the 'black lives matter' protest reported thus: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36982748

 

Police in America are evil for shooting people for fun (true), so lets go block trams in Nottingham! It's a bit random. I can see sheriff Billy Bob reading about it and thinking he's got to change his ways for the sake of people in Nottingham, Engerlaaand.

perhaps you have not seen enough of the background as the news don't seem to be bothered with reporting the reasons, only the actions, whilst the British police are less likely to shoot people there are still a lot of issues regarding how the black community are policed. The U.K. Version of black lives matter started off protesting against deaths in custody in the UK.

 

The second sentence of the article you quote sums it up pretty well:

 

Organiser Joshua Virasami said black people should come together "to achieve justice and equality in Britain"

[Supernaut]

It's Friday night.

 

I'm at home, not in the pub, and none of the people I usually play computer games with are even online.

 

Fuck's sake.

It's a fucking bandwagon and the usual social justice warriors are fighting with each other to jump on it.

 

These cunts will set race relations back years whilst tacitly ignoring the elephant in the room that is, the main cause of death of young black men, is other young black men.

My bold. There were 3 BAME deaths in custody last year. Not a big number.

[STUNO]

I welcome you all to the beautiful South Pacific islands of New Zealand. And to Hawkes bay, the sunshine capital.

 

 

Not a real grump, but we do have the heat on !

[Tamworthbay]

it is if one of those is your father/ brother/ etc. One is too many. It's easy to say it's a small number, and dismiss it as a bandwagon as others on here have done, when it doesn't affect you, having never been black or in custody the I don't know what the problems are but the post was asking why the movement started, that's why.
