The grumpy thread

[MikeR]

having had shite brakes on a Fiat , I would go for a decent set any day ,

 

anyway I checked mine today to get rid of a mouse in the offside wheel , freed up the pad on the sliders and a bit of high temp grease and worked under the pad fingers m which now slide ....

 

the mouse has moved out   

 

not after ,

 

when moving the car I reversed the car out of the drive way and towards another car when anal modulation took place as my foot went to the floor ,,,,,,,quickly followed by up and down modulation of the right leg and handbrake hand ..

 

I had forgotten to pump up the brakes ,

Conveyancers need to get in the fucking sea.

 

I received my mortgage offer last Monday and they still claim not to have it plus aparrently can’t chase up searches which are also long overdue.

 

Useless fucking cunts.

 

 

They are pretty fucking useless, by and large aren't they?

 

When we put an offer in on a house we didn't end up buying we did most of the calling between the agents, etc. to work out what was going on.  It was ridiculous given that we were paying somebody else to deal with all that nonsense.  Apparently nothing happens unless you poke everyone constantly...

[Kiltox]

You’d think they weren’t charging THOUSANDS OF BASTARD POUNDS for their “services”

[Tamworthbay]

Train line = cheating bastards. Ticket is refundable, so you would think you can get a refund, yes? Only if you book another ticket of the same or greater value. That’s not refundable that’s transferable, and they charge you there and then for the replacement but you wait 14 days for the refund. I know BR wasn’t perfect, but you turned up, bought a ticket, took a train. It just fucking worked.

[Mr A Lawrence]

If you could get through the picket lines though.

BBC website - twats.

 

That pisses me off big time too. I've been known to choose 'other' and input it manually on forms when possible.

I did that once but managed to not need the brakes until barrelling into a roundabout....

 

It's amazing how quick you can pump brakes up isn't it?

sick of those damm flying things , so with the cheapo fly zapper dying ,

 

I thought I would raid its kill grid , which fitted nicely around a very attractive to flying things bulb  , powered by a 3.5 K volt flux capacitor ...

 

it would send the dam flying things into another place ...not near me ....  evil laughter  " neeeaahaaaa hhhhhhaaaa ha ha "

 

looking good ...

 

 

and the big switch on !!

Yawn, I used the trains regularly for twenty years before privatisation and never had a single cancellation or issue like that. The same old BS about how terrible everything was in the 70s as perpetrated by the likes of the Daily Fail does get very tedious.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

You’d think they weren’t charging THOUSANDS OF BASTARD POUNDS for their “services”

 

 

Honestly, Lady Grumpius and I have both considered a change of career because it would seem that the requirements to work in conveyance seem to be fuck all, given our experiences and they seem to get paid rather well.

 

On the other hand, we like our school holidays...

[busmansholiday]

Why oh fucking why is it apparently easier to buy enough chemicals to wipe out every nun and kitten on this planet than end your broadband contract with Virgin fucking Media.

I commuted regularly on BR from 1978 until around 1990. Fucking useless, one year my daily train was on time twice.

Like many things, different people have different experiences with the same thing

Don’t get me wrong, they weren’t perfect but I never had any major issues, they cost the country a bit, fares were cheap but there was ONE price and they were a bit tired. Now they cost the country a fortune in subsidies, fares range from having a fucking laugh to a kidney and they are still tired. Not hard to decide which I would prefer.

Had an Asda shopping delivery about an hour ago. Waynetta came out to have a go at the driver for parking in the parking area.

 

Then had a go at me for having a delivery man park in the parking area.

 

I finally snapped at her about her general shitty behaviour towards us, the neighbours and that it's ok for HER friends to park in the parking spaces but woe betide any other household having a guest park in them lest they fear her.

 

The rotten old cow has only rung our letting agents and complained. Just had a 20 minute ear bashing from them before I even had a chance to put my side of the story and the absolute misery this woman and her dirty plastic pikey other half has put me, my family and the neighbours since we moved here 3 months ago.

 

I really am considering an anti-social behaviour report about her to the council. Might tell my mates at work to forget to empty her bin or mark as 'not out' on the cab computer for the time being.

Just fill the spaces with unregistered turds, now if only there was a forum where you could find some old shitheap cars people would donate to a good cause........

[bramz7]

So someone won the Oldsmobile.

 

Got a message to say 'im in Norfolk but my friend in Alston will come collect'

 

That's further away. A lot further away.

The woman (if you can call it that) needs a good hard ram up the arse to sort her out. Preferably with a Class 67 locomotive. At full chat.

[Frogchod]

I'm travelling back to the uk tomorrow for yet another funeral, my best mate from school days, moped days, 250cc days, big bike days and long term getting pissed together mate.

Another one where cancer can get in the fucking sea

Grump 2 is that I've just noticed my passport has expired. Brittany Ferries say it shouldn't be a problem if I turn up early and they can clear it with UK immigration.

I bloody hope so, I really need to say good bye to my old mate.

Did I type "old" ? He was 55.      I'll call that grump 3

[fordperv]

As you said play dirty with the refuse collection, can you decline collection by the wrong things being in the bin ie recyclables on top of her general waste?that way she cant take pictures of her bin out and get your pals in trouble, then complain about her rubbish building up and the smell etc

He's got to be taking the piss, surely? Look forward to seeing it relisted tonight...twunts.

Maybe just mis-spelled Alton?

If you've had a letter detailing their price rise, then you have 30 days to get out of there without any penalty. You will have to return the equipment but you just need to call up and say you're giving notice.

 

If you haven't had a price rise, and you're within your contract period, then no - you've got more chance of finding the Higgs-Boson using a Magimix and some glitter paint.

I'll see what the lads can do. Worst they can do is put stickers on it, and the lorries have CCTV on them in the event of a missed bin. She leaves both her bins out all week at the end of her rear access way, as do all the student houses in the area. Shame I don't live in Kent any more as I'd take home a sackful of the rejects from the dildo factory I collected from on the trade round there (search: creative mouldings gravesend) and put them in her recycling bin. I suppose I could always try and find a dildo factory near Chichester.

 

More annoying than this is I went to the bother of cooking something special this evening as guests were due and they didn't show up. No call or anything. Not the first time the airhead sister-in-law hasn't bothered turning up. Probably forgot about dinner and got stoned/drunk with her other half.

[Angrydicky]

Used to get twat neighbours whinging and moaning at me over parking when I drove for ASDA DD, but I have to say that not once did any of my customers stick up for me. So kudos to you for doing that. It was a simple fact that in many places there just wasn't anywhere to park the van, so for five minutes or so, while making a delivery it was left in a communal parking area, across a driveway or basically whichever bit of road was closest to the front door.

 

Reminds me of one of my former colleagues who had worked for the local council driving dustcarts in a previous life. He was a top bloke, but was large and somewhat intimidating if you didn't know him. He told me once about how he was working one day, driving the wagon slowly while the loaders worked behind. It was a busy road with parked cars at the sides, so a queue had built up. Some bloke in a BMW convertible started shouting and leaning on his horn. Colin continued at his normal pace until he was able to pull over. BMW twat pulls alongside and the car has four young lads on board. Trendy haircuts and Hugo Boss shirts, you know the type.

 

"Oi mate, do you want to go any fucking slower? You've made me late! What's your name, I'm gonna report you"

 

"I've got a job to do, so I suggest you fuck off sharpish before I get my guys to chuck one of the rubbish bags into yer car"

 

Unsurprisingly, they did indeed fuck off sharpish. I really admired him, he genuinely didn't give a fuck about people hassling him over parking, threatening to report him etc.

My lot are in Thame, I reckon beko needs to drive a Laguna through their front window

[dozeydustman]

I don't get in a huff if anyone starts blaring their horn or shouts at us. Being a big bloke myself I just turn round to them and say "you chose to follow me up here". It normally puts them in their place.

Urgh I can’t stand people leaving their bins out - everyone does that at my BTL but I made a point of putting mine where they should be in the hope the tenant follows suit

Why use Trainline ? 

 

Work out where and when you want to go :

Check if it's worth a ticket split.

Go to train company's own website and book tickets. 

 

Don't FUCKING Pay a middle man.
