The grumpy thread

[beko1987]

17? Is he a drinker? Get some fucking strong homebrew that you can handle going and make him drink it all by reverse factioneering. "I heard the other day that if you drink 9 pints you go the other side of drunk"... "nah m8, it's 12 that is". "tell yiu what, ive got some beers, let's try it".

 

He'll be on the floor after 5,you can accidentally kick him and just spend the afternoon drunk, then play some mega death when he wakes up with a headache

[Pillock]

Yeah apparently he sinks 12 pints and is still upright.

Odd then, that he can't match Mrs_Pillock like for like on the rum... Just goes quiet and goes to bed.

[Angrydicky]

Typical bragging kid. Hopefully she'll tire of him before too long.

A friend saw an elderly chap fall over in Llandudno at the weekend. It took 2.5hrs for an ambulance to arrive, despite the fact that this man was pretty badly hurt. Not the first time I've heard of this either.

Llandudno is full of the elderly - the great orme has thousands of memorial benches to those that died on the climb. I'm trying to think where the nearest big hospital is. Probably Glan Clwyd in st Asaph which should only be 30minutes away in a 2cv never mind an ambwlans.

Whole lot is on its arse - in fact it's so bad where I live NHS is paying for taxis to take people to hospital because it's cheaper than an ambulance.

 

Not going to get political but we had an election in June and the same cunts are still in power - you get what you deserve.

[purplebargeken]

Make him your best mate, sing his praises in from of your daughter as often as possible. She will get so bored that he will be gone in a week.

[Cavcraft]

Daughter has a boyfriend. 

He's a proper know-it-all motormouth. Knows everything, has done it all faster/longer/quicker. Spouts rubbish about things he could quite easily just STFU about - like the stuff I do at work, talking crap and knowing nothing. 

For example, I had a load of documents about the iPhone launch, knew just the basic level of info I knew to do my job. He comes in and starts telling me "facts" and "dates". 100% utterly wrong, as it happens, but then it'll be their fault for changing things at the last minute.

 

He's really starting to fuck me off. He's one of those where everything is "classed" too. 

"Oh yes, an Audi is classed as one of the top three cars". "Converse trainers are classed as the best available" CLASSED AS? WTF does that mean? 

 

I've got the Astronaut program on TV and like fucking clockwork, he knows the details of every bit of NASA training.

 

Do you want to borrow a car?

[twosmoke300]

Used to work with a guy like him - ended up calling him cats and he never knew why .

 

If you said you had a black cat then his would be blacker !

[M'coli]

^^^ You live in the Home Counties!

 

The NHS is excellent, but in some areas they are stretched to beyond belief.

[dollywobbler]

In Wales, it's an absolute disgrace.

[Coprolalia]

Chronic underfunding.

Working in Wales, ambulance service seems stretched further than in England, but the in-hospital care is better.

Sadly the drive for efficiency is turning people's lives into faceless numbers.

Today isn't going great so far.  My short-term financial planning has been upset by the fact that my four scrappers are now suddenly (hopefully temporarily) worth fuck all whereas last week they would have netted me £429 between them (plus some decent spare batteries).  Also, the C4 is going in for a test on Wednesday, but before that it needs two tyres swapping over for the good ones off the Mondeo.  Except it turns out the C4 has locking wheelnuts, and the key is nowhere to be found.  I have yet to find an appropriately-sized socket to hammer over it, so I'm probably going to have to take it to the local tyre place with the wheels still on and get arse raped for whatever they charge to remove them.  Bloody motors... 

[myglaren]

The leak on the C5 got worse

 

This morning it was right down at the rear.

 

 

Bought 2L of LDS substitute Comma MVCHF after a three hour walk to get it,  poured it in and no change.

A further 2L and still nothing, and that was all Halfords had in stock.

 

There is a very impressive and expensive puddle under the car now, the neighbours will be over the moon

And blisters on my feet

[DodgeRover]

What 4 scrapers are they?

[Bren]

Yesterday I cleaned various connectors on the vectra with contact cleaner including mass air flow sensor. Drove to work and car drove beautifully.

Came to start car after night shift and no go - fires and runs for a second then dies.

This car wants to die.

[outlaw118]

Childminding my 6 year old great-niece.

 

I'm in the fortunate / unfortunate position of having married a "Cougar" and therefore not brought up my own sprogs.

 

I have 3 step-grandchildren aged 5, 11, 13, who think that I'm "sick" - the older two told me, apparently it's a good thing.

 

Two other great nieces aged 5 & 6, who are amazing.

 

this one....at what point does a child move from being a brat into a cunt? She's been here since 15.45 after Mrs_Outlaw collected it from school, and frankly if she was more on my tits, she be a tattoo.

When they are breathing.

It looks like I am going to be affected by this Ryanair situation as I am due to be flying to Oslo on Friday 29th of September. Though I think I may end up making money with the compensation so it could maybe go in the grin thread but I was looking forward to a nice city break.

[wuvvum]

Mondeo TDCi (ex-Smellypoo / Moog), Golf Mk4 TDI, Renault Trafic and Rover 200 VI.

[danthecapriman]

Pets.

Had to get up stupid early when I heard one of the dogs whining downstairs. Get up and stagger down to see wtf was up to be greeted by two puddles of piss and liquid shit all over the utility room floor. Stank to high hell too!

Poor little sod's had bad guts the last few days and this must have been it coming out.

Cue, a very messy clear up and disinfecting the floor in the early hours instead of being asleep.

 

Here's the guilty party!

Can't get mad at them though!

[Snipes]

That reminds me of going into the kitchen and seeing my housemate's Lab had vomited all over the floor and was happily snacking on a few choice morsels. Eugh..

If one of my two puke the one that did it will sit next to the puke to guard it from the other one. If they don't the other one will eat it.

 

 

I've come down stairs before in a similar situation to the above and stood in the shit. And I don't wear socks to bed either!

Nothing beats the sensation of warm poo between your toes in the morning!

[Bren]

Vectra is mobile again. Loose plug on fuel ecu that was previously secured with a cable tie.

[AlabamaShrimp]

That thing about dogs is why I won't have any pets ever again.

 

Saying that my son has been off school today and on the toilet more times than not. Still better now and being stupid again!

They're alright. It doesn't happen often.

They give me much more pleasure than aggravation anyway. They're great fun to walk and play with and they make good company.

[Guest Hooli]

Dogs are better than kids in every way.

Mrs_Duke has been stressing about her flight to Crete next week - she's finally found out tonight that it 'almost definitely' won't be cancelled. How a company can be successful without even attempting to disguise the apparent contempt it has for its customers, is beyond me.

[chaseracer]

I would rather walk than fly Ruinair.  Or Sleazyjet.

It's pretty crappy for sure. If I actually needed to get to something important like a wedding I would be way more pissed off than I am actually am right now.

Try 50+kg of stupid and a duvet in the same scenario.
