The grumpy thread

[DeeJay]

Hey, talking of that (and a proper grump) I’m not only taking my missus out, but taking her to watch a play (or musical, whatever these things are) about some bint I cannot abide.

This sounds like it's going to be a night to remember.

[BorniteIdentity]

I'd need a telephoto lens in this weather.

I hear you brother.

Just seen on FB that one of my Cypriot friends has died.  RIP George.

[mercrocker]

Commiserations, Eddy.   Too many folk passing on right now....

[eddyramrod]

Thanks Trevor.  You're not wrong!

[robinmasters]

I’d honestly rather you waved your dick in my face than your politics.

 

Perhaps anyone who gets political on here should be forced to add an unflattering photograph of their own genitalia to the post? It might focus the mind.

 

(!)

We should have a vote. I vote Remain. Genitals remaining in underpants.

 

I agree politics should be kept off here though. The trouble with politics is that other people have such stupid opinions.

Garners pickled onions are like drinking battery acid and destroy your oesophagus every time... yet I keep eating them.

[Jim Bell]

Sir!

Sir now theyre talking about politics and cocks Sir!

 

Oh do put and end to it or move it all to an appropriate thread in another section.

[Parky]

Got to go to the Docs this morning. They won't make me an appointment as they are fully blocked out for the next month so I have to just rock up and take pot luck. Which is annoying as I probably won't see "my" GP and will have to go explain everything from scratch.

 

After which I have to take Parkette to Lakeside to buy a Mother's Day present for Mrs P, a Mother's Day present for Mrs P Senior, a birthday present for my niece, and another for my cousin. All female which means visiting H&M, Lush, Body Shop, and Hamleys.

 

Why the grump? Well, do any of you fancy going to a shopping mall with a teenage girl buying clothes and cosmetics?

[cms206]

I'm just catching up... £350k for a three bed terraced house?!

 

Fuck me sideways.

 

I've just paid £165k for a four bed semi in a quiet cul-de-sac with a four car drive and a garage big enough for a Volvo.

 

Plus it's seven minutes drive to work, the train station is about a four minute walk from the front door, Aldi is a ten minute walk and Morrisons is less than five minutes away.

 

£350k. Shit me.

Yep. And that's a mega-barg for round here. It's a bit out of town, so 20 minutes walk to the station. If it was near the station it would be double that.

 

But like I said, I moved around a lot when I was younger and I don't want to any more. My family and friends are in the south so I'm just stuck with it.

I was held up for many miles by a weaving hapless middle aged tart yesterday who was doing that 'fashionable' holding her phone the way Kirk holds his communicator. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to boast that I've never attacked anyone in my life.

[Cavcraft]

Anyone who holds their phone by their chin whilst they talk to someone else so you hear both of them deserves a fucking good shoeing from someone of the same sex.

Mrs DC has a stated preference for Garners too... apparently Heywards, Baxters or supermarket own-brand pickles are "too sweet".

 

All I'll say is, some of the juice got spilt on the solid wood worktop, and now I have to sand down and re-finish said worktop... worse than bloody bleach.

 

I'm all for robust flavours, but they appear to be crossing a line from foodstuffs into industrial chemicals...

[Des]

Can we not mention pickled onions, I battled an addiction for many years, near turned me into a bleached albino, when I'd hit the chippy I'd have a handful of the big ones with the dayglo yellow spots on top of my chips followed by taking the top off the non brewed condiment bottle and heeling in like I was K-sealing a Rover until the paper was a soggy mush in my hand.

Might be good for cleaning up brightwork.

[Datsuncog]

^^ Cleaning up? It'd jolly well strip the chrome plate right off the brightwork, I'd reckon. Hazmat handling required...

Might be as effective as Mrs. Dollywobbler's homemade vinegar....

What about pickled eggs?

[HillmanImp]

After losing my storage for the Imp the other week, it looks like I have lost the storage for the MR2 now too. Brilliant. My mate who I own it with needs his drive back as his missus is up the spout again and wants a car of her own that she can chuck a couple of kids in and there is only room for two cars. The MR2 does not fit that criteria and has to go.

 

To be completely fair, we've owned it for 18 months and all we have been able to do is take off the brakes and weld a patch on the sill so progress has not been good as he has been doing up a house and then moving house and I have been doing up an old house and having kids. It's not as easy as it was to organise car nights compared to the old days when we used to buy cars together. There always used to be one of us pestering the other to do this or that, but with our lives the way they were for the last couple of years, neither of us has pestered the other at all and as such nothing has happened.

 

Plan was to use it at Harewood for the Hillclimb but my mate quite understandably wants out as he has other priorities. Does anyone local to Bradford want in? You need to be motivated enough to pester me to come and help with the car and be willing to pay for half of the storage or provide storage yourself as there is absolutely no room at mine with the Imp there now too. I might have a space coming up in Bingley depending on whether the new tenant of the flat we have over there has a car but I will assume that we don't have such a luxury until we have someone in there?

 

Not sure how much my mate wants for his share of the car, it won't be much. If I can't get someone else involved I guess we will probably have to sell it as a project.

 

Here is what it failed the MOT on when we got it a couple of years back to give you an idea of what needs doing.

Reason(s) for failure

• Front front brake application uneven (3.7.B.2)
• Offside Headlamp aim too high wont adjust (1.

• Offside Rear fog lamp missing (1.3.2a)
• Rear fog lamp tell tale missing (1.3.1b)
• Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2)
• Offside Rear Trailing arm has excessive play in a pin/bush forward bush (2.4.G.2)
• Offside Rear Suspension component mounting prescribed area is excessively corroded inner sill (2.4.A.3)
• Offside Front front brake binding (3.7.B.1)
• Offside Rear rear brake binding (3.7.B.1)
• Nearside Front front brake binding (3.7.B.1)

Advisory notice item(s)

• Offside Front Brake hose has slight corrosion to ferrules (3.6.B.4e)

The stupid thing is that not only are they breaking the law and putting others at risk, but if you were to be driving an absolute snotter of a car with barely minutes left on the MOT and destined for the bridge, pulled in front of someone doing this, blatantly did an emergency stop for no reason other than to be a cunt, and they pile into the back of you, despite it being clearly your fault, the moment you tell the fuzz that they were on a hand-held phone, they will check mobile records, confirm that this was the case, it will magically no longer be your fault, the phone-holding driver will be held 100% to blame and you would get a nice pay out for them writing your car off.

 

So why would anyone put themselves at that risk? You're essentially taking the blame for others' arsehollery in the event of a crunch.

 

Note.. I'm not suggesting this is a plan. Just highlighting what some twat might do in a crash-for-cash situation.

At the vets with the dog because he's eaten a load of chocolate that our lasses mate posted for her birthday.

Same woman did the same thing last year. Ffs

Put what's left after the chocolate's been through the dog, through her letterbox? Maybe she'll get the message then?

Just found out that my ex gaffer is dying. 42 years old with two young children.

 

I have no words.

Holy fuck, this winds me up like little else....it takes every ounce of self control I have to stop myself slapping it out of their hands....A couple of times in the supermarket I have been bumped into or otherwise fucked about by some piss stain with their phone horizontally in front of their chin and on speakerphone and I have been right in front of them literally winding up to slap the fucking device clear over into the pastry aisle when reality breaks in and I think "best not."
