The grumpy thread

[chaseracer]

...it's not worth me getting the council to do anything.  Other than maybe deflating their tyres...

 

The council have a lot of vehicles.  Might take a while...

Grammar.  It's a pain in the arse.

 

To be fair, I'm not sure my council would even notice...

Fucking quad bike wankers two fields over.  They set up a track there a couple of weeks ago and have decided that racing around at maximum speed is fine.

Piano wire.

[robinmasters]

Many errands to run today. That's not the grump.

 

Evidently, my car is fucking invisible.

 

Poor depth perception? Arrogant must be first attitude? Stereotypical behavior of drivers of certain vehicles? All three, I think.

[Guest VicN]

Piano wire.

 

Good idea. Kill people for enjoying themselves.

[rantingYoof]

RantingYoof is your man for this, but as far as I know you can do it for 14 days a year as permitted development, anything beyond that is a change of use and needs planning permission...

If it's a couple of people turning up in 4x4s with trailers for the odd hoon it's not an event and just people mucking about on an agricultural field.

 

If it appears organised and attended by spectators and occurs every couple of weekends it's looking like a change of use to a track. If it has had works done on site such as earth movements to create artificial jumps/hills then they would also be engineering operations to facilitate the change of use.

 

Worth a phone call or email if it happens again just to nip it in the bud and stop it becoming a thing. Depending on your authority they may respond quite rapidly to a noisy change of use in open countryside...

[paulplom]

How do you install that?

You bolt it to the floor in front of the garage door. It stops them from opening it.

[twosmoke300]

Sounds like the type of people that need someone to sneak up and gorilla glue dildos to all their all their doors.

[5speedracer]

Argos catalogue time.

How does this one work? Seen it mentioned but missed the start.

No, kill them for stealing enjoyment from others, Kill them for being selfish scumcunts, kill them for riding faggy quads rather than bikes because they're dickless sissys.

It's a couple of vans and a hoon.  We can see it from the lane, but it's obscured by trees currently from our front door.

 

Irritating the council probably wouldn't care about the noise because we have the M20 250 yards from my front door.  They are different though because the M20 is constant and you can block it out.  The quads, you can't.  I imagine the homeowners here might have more to say about it (if they're not letting out the field).  There are also a lot of public footpaths around here and they might be impinging on those.

 

To be honest, I'll see how it goes.  We're moving in three weeks (shit, got to pack!) and it will no longer be our problem but I like our neighbours and they're nice people.

 

Thanks for the clarification.  I had no idea there were statutes already in place for this sort of thing!

It must be going some if you've got to the point where you're seriously thinking of committing murder and doing a lengthy stretch in prison for it. To say nothing of the potential lifelong feud that you might have ignited as your victims' families then start taking it out against your family (see Traveller culture, etc.)

Windows fucking 10 anyone else having problems with lenovo laptop after the latest brilliant ideas from Microsoft. My mouse has disappeared and the ability to left or right click has gone on my other half Lenovo. What pissed me off even more is mine is less than a week old and I only started using it last night when the fucker updated

[Aston Martin]

Every time I see a Nissan Micra 160 I get excited and then annoyed that it means fuck all.

[clayts450]

Shit auctions that tell you nothing useful, have no photos, but have a stupidly low buy it now price... and no way of contacting the seller other than through eBay's messaging system.

 

I'm hovering over the BIN button poised in anticipation - just need some fucking information that's pretty crucial.

 

(Inner self says just do it, sensible head says hang back)

[captain_70s]

This fucking Civic, I need to take the rear calipers off. To do this I need to un-do the bracket that holds the handbrake cable. This may as well be welded on and is impossible to get to, fuck this car.

 

I'm tempted to cable tie the calipers out of the way of the hubs and drive the thing to the garage and have them fuck with it. Sadly I lack the funds to do this.

Send your lucky* recipient an Argos catalogue in the post sans postage so they go and pay a fortune for it at the post office.

I am literally just upgrading a little lenovo netbook I've just bought to windows 10... Could be fun! Does said laptop have lenovo shite software installed? If you can, sack it off and download Synaptics software, should bring it back

I managed to do a system restore and mine is back up and running ok. God knows what happened with my other half's one as it started working again after an hour or so. No idea why they did it but all seems well again now, bloody computers.

My Lenovo has mysteriously stopped talking to my Miracast dongle on the tv. It finds it, connects to it, but doesnt send an image.

The dongle still works with my phone though and I havent changed anything on the laptop.

I wish this seller would throw me a bone - no photos will be added to the listing until tomorrow morning and that'll show the reg number.

 

Sounds like a nice chap, to be fair (none of your gansta chav txt speak) so I've advised him I'm poised and that I'm ready to buy today and collect tomorrow, having at least confirmed the vehicle is driveable  - I just need to check the car, so I can work out insurance etc...

 

It's like people don't want to sell - why all the hoops....

My keyboard went all American after the last update, the printer disappeared after the one before that. I wish they’d stop mucking about.

I spoke too soon it's gone tits up again. I also have Norton's anti virus so maybe it's that playing up.I hadn't used Norton's in years but decided to give it a chance and now regretting it

[fordperv]

One of the neighbours to where I have moved to is a complete twat. Been in my old place all day every day cleaning etc and finally did the move out inspection with the letting agent.

 

Came back to a hand-written note through the letterbox saying "stop parking your car in my space". There are no marked spaces, 6 houses and room for 10 cars.

 

I have an idea who it is, as they moaned to our letting agents about having a removal pantechnicon on Monday, whilst doing the move in inspection.

 

What sort of an arsehole do you have to be when you start on new residents when they move in?

You could have an autoshite meet in the parking area if any folks on here are local to you

[Kiltox]

DVLA’s wonderful new online private plate system refuses to transfer a reg onto my Porsche need to do it the old fashioned way by post

[dozeydustman]

Now that sounds like a plan! I could name it the "Chichester lacklustre motor vehicle event - guest starring V-reg Corolla". There is a suitable meeting place not far from here which has an occasional ice-cream van visit. Maybe in the summer.

I have just had to have my second shower of the day. Hot and sweaty after exertions on Dollop 2.0 and I HATE being hot and sweaty!

Only if someone sees you.  Can't see them getting a fingerprint off piano wire.

Had the chance to be lead singer in an Animals tribute band. Turned it down as didn't want to be a Burdon.
