The grumpy thread

[dollywobbler]

At least the cat has the decency to crap in private & bury it. Cats have dignity.

Very true. And our old cat used to do this on the next door neighbour's immaculate lawn. What a cat!

[warren t claim]

What makes me grumpy is that this thread is nearly 200 pages and I know I have not been grumpy enough to make the league table!!!

Our cat does his number 2's in our bath, the little f**ker!

As did mine! I was quite happy as the old boy who's lawn it was used to insist on calling the cat 'Fred' even though he knew full well his name is Clarence. He thought he was being funny. I thought the cat was being funnier curling huge stools off in his garden most days.

Nice one.I think the issue of horses may well be more to do with the berks who own and ride the aforementioned beasts, if I may paraphrase slightly on this old favourite: Q-What has four legs and a cunt on its back? A=A horse.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Deffo not keen on the folk who ride horses (generally), but I do also find horses quite scary beasts as well. Cows are nice animals, & most of them have little quiffs. And they taste bloody nice.

Cows are nicer to milk.

Horses - dangerous at both ends, uncomfortable in the middle.The riders who ride on roads - pompous.The riders who then put their precious animals in a slow, clapped out diesel lorry, and then pull away slowly from a Motorway roundabout and wander over both lanes of the roundabout so as not to cause them any undue etc., etc, get the lights and horn from me for driving with undue.Horses are magnificent animals that humans have domesticated to do hard work. Our machines have now made them generally superfluous, but that's no reason to get rid of them. It is also no reason to use them as a status symbol with which to beat others.(As an old farmer (89 last birthday!) once told me, "Do you know why wimmin love ridin' horses? It's that wee bit rub between the thighs...!")

[Mr Lobster]

Three pages of fully justified horse induced grumpiness and nobody has mentioned the best thing about them (other than the hot girls obviously)

Pass the frites and mayo!!!

I heard once that the" car saved the horse" because the growth of car etc use eased the heavy burden off the work horse as they used to have a fairly shite life. Now they are only used for sport/leisure/ enthusiasm.Will new cars "save" the old shiter??

Back pain. Popped my back at work 11 days ago while reaching for the tap at the sink, so off work for a few days - last weekend was a good weekend not to be able to do much anyway.I'm back at work, but swapping the wheels back-to-front to get the tyres with the good tread on the front has made it hurt again, so that's been the extent of work on cars for the last 2 weekends. Grump grump grump. That is all.

[dollywobbler]

Back pain's a good call. Put mine out working on the 2CV yesterday- checking the ignition timing of all things, which is the least strenuous thing you can do on a 2CV.The other night, I was crawling under it adjusting the rear brakes and then swapping all the wheels over - no trouble there at all.

The riders who then put their precious animals in a slow, clapped out diesel lorry, and then pull away slowly from a Motorway roundabout and wander over both lanes of the roundabout so as not to cause them any undue etc., etc, get the lights and horn from me for driving with undue.

Exactly one of these wankers that straightlined a roundabout and ripped the front bumper off my Mondeo 2 years ago.Had absolutely no idea I was even there.

[55bloke]

The riders who then put their precious animals in a slow, clapped out diesel lorry,

I saw one on the M1 a few years ago, painted pink and with NAUGHTY HORSES written down the side, and under that, CAUTION, CHICKS WITH WHIPS. My imagination was running riot, would love to know what that's all about!

[mnde]

Oh yeah, horses and horse boxes.I love horses. Shitting everywhere I have no beef with, although perhaps the bag to catch it should be standard issue! I mean, what do they eat except grass and apples fed to them by rosy cheeked 8 year olds?But yeah, an incident at the weekend didn't do much for my opinion of riders. I was driving with my other half to pick up an ebay purchase on Saturday morning, and we were in danger of being late because there were two horses being ridden "two abreast", with no chance of passing. Eventually they "indicated right" and clip clopped into the riding school. But how inconsiderate! Single file please! Saying that though there's probably a rule somewhere about a "learner" rider being accompanied by an instructor that allows them to ride side by side...Just as bad in my book are cyclists who ride two abreast having a conversation while riding on the road.Horse boxes. Yep. I look out for these on the motorway and try and indicate to overtake as far back as possible. Generally slow moving and get a bit in the way. But there are exceptions. Like a while back when I was driving back from somewhere or other late at night in my BX and I was tailgated at 60+ mph by one of those large horse box lorries. I was like "WTF??!" and wandered where he was off to in such a hurry. I just couldn't lose the fuxxer. Then the road went to dual carriageway and it overtook... and I can't remember rightly, but I think I just let it go, or I got him on the next hill or something. I think there was another one as well that just steamed straight past. Maniacs.Mark.

[seth]

/\ They must have been race horse boxes.B'dum tish!

[ChinaTom]

I guess if you've just nicked a few racehorses worth a few hundred thousand, it pays to make a quick getaway.

[whitevanman]

Oh and there was me trying to avoid the subject of ignorant dangerous cyclists...............

[mnde]

Yep, when I was a cyclist @ uni way back in '95-96 I rode like I was driving a car. Made full use of the gears, changing "down" as I came to a halt at a junction/lights so I could make a brisk getaway etc., glancing behind, making arm signals in good time, and obeyed ALL red lights. I think time needs to be called on those cyclists who jump red lights because they think they don't apply to them. Mark.

Sad one this and is going to contain swearing....just been talking to our next door neighbour (who's 83 tomorrow), she's been to town to get her pension and some thieving low life bastard scum has nicked her purse.Undoubtably some horrible, shithouse smackhead bastard. I hope they buy a dodgy batch of smack with the money and die a slow, painful death with fucking Ajax cursing through their veins.I don't 'do' keyboard warrior/hardman posts but I wished to fuck I'd seen them do it as I tie them up and break every bastard bone in the hands, arms and legs with a sledge hammer then kick their teeth out with my steelies.Horrible, horrible scum of the earth fucking wankers

x1 Totally agree, Nasty scum.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Pondlife bastards.Was your neighbour hurt?

[Cavcraft]

Fortunately not, looks they 'dipped' her bag.

[FredTransit]

DON'T THESE PEOPLE HAVE MUMS? Clearly they don't have fathers.....

[whitevanman]

I doubt that having a Father would make any difference..........the Father would probably be as bad................fuckin' bullet between the eyes, cheap and chearfull and bung them in the incinerator......not fit to be called human

Hear hear, absolutely indefensible. Chuck them down a mineshaft!Happened recently to a friend in NZ. She was just recovering from an emergency heart operation and was mugged in the street by a girl, who took her handbag with money, cards, keys and mobile phone.Fortunately the police picked them up smashed out of their heads on drugs bought with the cash, they still had all the other stuff on them and the police found them by tracking the stolen phone.Trouble is that she is now very nervous about having to face them again in court early next year and her health is suffering from that more than the mugging.

[shite_meister]

Is the old dear alright Cavette or do I feel an Autoshite wip-round coming on?Why is it people aren't polite or courteous in e-mails or private messages on forums? Usually if not always its when someone is responding to an ad on a forum or ebay, not a Hello or even a Hi nor a sign off, no regards, no cheers and no name. I've just sold something for £150.00 to someone and at no point has this bloke told me in his half a dozen messages what the fuck his name is.

[Cavcraft]

Thanks SM, she's ok but just aggrieved that someone would do that. Small mercy but at least she's not hurt or worse. We're going to give her some money in her birthday card and get her a cake to cheer her up.Can't get away from images of causing extreme pain to the bastards that did it but alas we'll probably never find out who it was.Know what you mean about bad manners and it's a constant source of annoyance to me.It's nice when you're not in a rush or desperate to sell things as I find ignoring the rude ones completely and waiting for the first person with some manners to come along works a treat.I also honestly believe that the bad mannered/semi agressive toned ones will probably be complete timewasters anyhow.I swear to God I deal with these people on a daily basis and no matter how carefully I word things etc I ALWAYS get one dickhead who's completely ignored what I said and offered something I said I didn't want as a deal or used 'text talk'.Got offered out the other night via the internet, obtained his phone number from someone else and asked what his address was.'Soz M8 fort u was sum1 else' was the text message I got after he wouldn't answer his phone
