The grumpy thread

[greengartside]

Doovla fucking around with their car tax website again.

 

Now only gives the month and year of registration of a car - not the day, i.e. my Zafira's first reg date is 28th June 1999, it now just shows 'June 1999'.

 

WHY??????

 

Just little things like this really boil my piss. Same would have been said for ukvehicle.com, doing a search can reveal the past number plates assigned to that car - they got rid of that but thankfully has been reintroduced.

Can't believe I've actually started posting again. How utterly banal must my existence be to make me return to this awful place? Jeez.

[Mr A Lawrence]

Go then.

[MrDuke]

Nah, I like awful things. They make me feel better about myself 

[Mr A Lawrence]

Stay then. It's not too bad.

[Lacquer Peel]

BITTER MAN.

Just calling a place awful is valid criticism?

[Lacquer Peel]

Probably not but I like MrDuke. Please stay, tell us about your current motoring situation, etc.

[tooSavvy]

my << . >> was, in no way, meant as a critique

Don't worry, I'm sure nobody knew what it was meant as.

Fucking timewasting bullshitting penis head

 

Saw an A30 being broken for bits on FB, enquired about a front wing... turns out it's 5 mins from my dad's, so he agrees to collect for me and pay as an Xmas pressie. Super!

 

The kid selling says it's at his work, anytime 9-5 is cool except Sundays. My dad works, so couldn't get there this week, but arranged with the seller to collect Monday. 

 

Get a message this morning. "Sorry mate a car came in and i needed space so got rid of that wing"

 

Ring him up, got the same story... "so you've thrown away a wing you were gonna get 75 quid cash for?" "Yep". I called him a prick. More like he sold the pair or realised he needed them.

 

Glad I hadn't wired him the wonga as planned or stripped the flipping car. 

 

 

[MrDuke]

tell us about your current motoring situation, etc.

 

REALLY AWFUL.

M1 was closed between 26 and 25 yesterday, first both sides then just southbound. Someone has topped his missus in Derby and then chucked himself in front of a lorry. Sounds a pretty flipping awful Christmas for the families involved.

 

Went on the Evening Post website to find this out, as we were caught in some of the chaos yesterday - http://www.nottinghampost.com/day-of-chaos-on-the-m1-how-it-all-unfolded/story-29989593-detail/story.html - and in the comments there's someone who finds it UNACCEPTABLE (their capitals) that the M1 was closed for so long, and they had children in the car for over two hours stuck in traffic.

 

Boo fucking hoo. Some trucker is having the worst Christmas of their lives, two lives lost, and diddums there got stuck in a traffic jam.

[Richard]

That's Christmas for you, brings out the worst in everyone.

[M'coli]

^^I saw that tailback as I was going Northbound.

[Pillock]

Yeah, we passed northbound and fair enough there wasn't a massive load of activity on the closed section but it looked like they were just about done - a few official looking cars were heading towards 25 on the closed section. 

 

For what it's worth, the journey that daft bint was doing is connected by the rather good tram system anyway, so moaning about traffic whilst in a car doing a journey that doesn't need to be done in a car is a double fail.

[bub2006]

Apparently he did his kids as well. Something else happened in Derby and Langley mill Eastwood area

[MarvinsMom]

all i can say is that i'm flippin' glad i wasn't trying to get back north from nottingham yesterday.....

[bub2006]

Took me 2 hours to get from Heanor to Beeston. Hour an half spent in Cossall Lane getting from Awsworth to Trowell

This week I've had a wonderful reminder that HR isn't your friend. Luckily I'm in the union, and I'm now on holiday so get to ignore it for a few weeks. January will be so very fun.

On the plus side I'll soon have a lot more time to be scrabbling around under cars.

[taxi paul]

Christmas really can tip people over the edge sadly. How bad must your life be to end your loved ones and then yours.

[bub2006]

Regardless of how bad your life is kids don't deserve that. Nor his wife most probably.
