The grumpy thread

[Fumbler]

Why is Facebook absolutely over-run with adverts for PPI and that sort of shit today? Is there a way it can all be hidden, rather than fighting a battle against thousands by picking them off one at a time?

"We don't sell data to advertisers"

You don't or didn't?

abandon all social media and embrace autoshite. tis the only way

[Lacquer Peel]

Autoshite is social media.

[dollywobbler]

Autoshite is social media.

 

Yes, but Autoshite is more like not-very-social media.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Anti-social-git-media, if anything.

 

uBlock Origin might be your solution.  Don't know.  Don't have Facebook but might block the ads.  Other adblockers can be a bit dodgy but uBlock has been doing me sterling service for a long time.

They tried to sell her a something program , but being wise to this sort of shit she said No , i can get it free , as a Happ....or sommat like that

Doesn't surprise me PC World tried to flog her some software for her Chromebook (a device you can't install software on).

 

Anyway, yes they have local storage. Typically though you just work, and it saves it both to Google Drive and your device so you can keep working on whatever the latest version is even if you're offline.

 

There is some jiggery pokery involved in saving "homework" as a file format schools will understand though

Use several ad blocker add ons. I use FF so use the following.

For all our sake, please don't connect it to the internet FFS.  Flatten it with Linux, or flatten it with a large hammer.

My new windscreens cracked already! Fun phone call in a minute...

[beko1987]

Call 1 done, someone from their customer care team will get back to me to 'sort this out'

 

There's no impact mark where the crack is, and I'm sort of hoping they've had this before being glass etc, but I have no proof that no one hasnt thrown a stone at it over the weekend...

 

Joy!

[Kiltox]

Got to be a shit fitter.

 

I think that’s what has caused the Panda screen to crack too - there’s no visible damage.

[Kiltox]

Do you not have a Screwfix card? Has a QR code on which gives them all the bollocks they need with less fucking about at the counter

[DodgeRover]

They've stopped offering them to be as I pointed out I've got enough stuff to keep on me without an extra card as well and they've always just asked the postcode and account name till now which is easy.

 

I'm not in the right frame of mind at the moment so I apologise to all for being a bit ranty.

[Kiltox]

That’s what this thread is for!

 

I’m having an utter prick of a day too.

If alcohol is the answer have a virtual pint or two on me. I'm going to get some logs cut up later so I can smash things with an axe....

[Lord Sterling]

At a party a few years ago, my mate managed to get himself absolutely smashed before 5PM. I found him passed out on his bed. He then got up and pissed into a backpack - which belonged to one of his guests. His fiancée (surprisingly now married) came in and he turned around and pissed on her.

 

I remind him of it every time I see him.

Sigh... Don't get me started....

 

A few years ago when I lived in France, I lived with some workmates as we shared a house. One weekend we invited another colleague over to stay for the weekend.

 

They all got pissed on Friday evening as they usually do. I don't drink so drove them home (hence why I always had the car)

 

That night I was downstairs watching TV when the guest came downstairs. He was still absolutely blottoed.

 

He said something strange (can't remember what it was but basically he thought he was still partying) and proceeded to relieve himself in one of the food cup boards ruining all of our snacks.

 

As it was night and everyone was asleep I had to leave a note explaining what had happened. The next morning matey-boy pisser was quite embarrassed and was made to clean up his piss from the cupboard. He also paid for replacing the ruined food.

 

Apparently it wasn't the first time he'd done this. He once pissed in someones wardrobe after a house party.

Chemtrails discussions. FFS. People really will believe any old shit. "NEVA SAW THESE IN THE 80S." No, we did. You just can't remember. "THEY WERE REALLY BAD THE OTHER DAY." Yes, because of actual variety in the climate. GOOD GRIEF.

[Guest Hooli]

But chemtrails must be real, those behind them have a FB page https://www.facebook.com/InternationalChemtrail/

 

Also those wonderful Russians are busy spraying antichemtrails to protect us from them.

 

[Fumbler]

Oh how wonderful of them. I wish they also exspose Porten Down for holding all the intercepted aliens in the UK.

[beko1987]

Someone's been out to see the car and straight away called it a stress fracture, so booked in on Thursday to try again!

We could be on to something, chaps: apparently, the clues are hidden in the crop circles...

[Fumbler]

Old people (usually part of the rambler's association) shouting all sorts of shit (encluding all types of expletive) at you as you either approach them in your car on a road or when you cycle past them while giving them a wide birth. Always a good "get up and go" initiative.

I'll get onto my friends in northern America and Egypt. Meanwhile I'm going to inspect this cosmic energy hub pyramid in the Aztec lands. The paintings and engravings tell a lot about our ancestoral mastery of free energy...

 

[greengartside]

Just grumpy about work colleagues. Some are okay and some treat me like I’m invisible. I know you can’t please everyone but it’s difficult when you’re not the most confident chap and have a real difficulty starting a conversation, especially when it seems to be one sided. Just been one of those ‘meh’ days.

Another bit of Glasgow's history erased as the Western Infirmary falls, ready to be replaced with some modular plate glass boxes...

 

The frequent complaints of boxy concrete 1960/70s buildings jarring with the older examples being made of local sandstone seems to matter not seems as they've demolished the older buildings as well...

The RA, utter arseholes in red socks. They always look miserable when outdoors & think everyone else should too.

Worcester Bosch customer service. E-mails, website contact form and numerous phone calls advising "I am held in a queue." 

 

I would like to exchange money for a boiler service - clearly they have enough so don't require mine.

I pressed like because there isn't an "agree" button or a "dislike" button.

Agree with Yellowperil. Glasgow is a pretty city, steeped in a rich history and has many beautiful buildings of many eras. The craftsmanship that went into cutting, shaping and carving those old stone blocks is fast becoming a lost art, it's a shame to see buildings like that get torn down, even when structurally sound and could be re-purposed.

 

I hope the sandstone gets recycled.
