The grumpy thread

Wondered where you'd been, Lou...

Had a filling drop out last night. Great, tooth ache just in time for Christmas.

I sorted my last one with a drop of superglue, I read it in a book about field medicine in Vietnam. Worked perfectly but the dentist did give me weird looks when I told him what I had done.

Cool, autoshite for bodies eh? How to bodge a tooth repair/repairing a broken leg with some bark/off cuts of old fences. Bodyshite.

Chatting to a Dr once and he had refixed his wife's tooth veneer with superglue when it fell off on holiday. Years later it's the only one that hasn't needed refixing...

Am I the only one seeing potential problems with pouring superglue into your mouth!?

[Tamworthbay]

Not pouring, just a blob to seal it. One drop in a specific place, not swigging it like brandy Nothing in it is anything like as toxic as the mercury infused amalgams used professionally for many years.

Into your own mouth possibly, there are several people I would be quite happy to try it on though

I was thinking more along the lines of gluing your lips closed when it all goes wrong. Or even gluing your arse hole shut when it passes through!

could be beneficial for some but not a risk with a bit of care, and ring glue would need it inserting at the other end

Good as new.

Looking after 2 year old niece tonight as brother and his mrs are at a do in arundel.

 

What the fuck is In the night garden all about?

 

At least niece likes quality kids’ tv like Button Moon and Trap Door as well

Decision time.

 

I like my job (mostly - see yesterday's grump) but I earn sweet FA. I work with two lovely women that are very different to each other but compliment each other perfectly, and I'm the grumpy bloke. I like it. There are a lot of reasons not to leave - the pay is the main reason to leave.

 

In a previous job, I was a support worker at a local Mind association - and I was very good at my job. A lot of what I did amounted to social work and I worked alongside a lot of social work students (and sometimes picked up the pieces from them when they fucked up - which some did spectacularly).

 

I've been made aware of a scheme for training specialist mental health social workers. Two years with a guaranteed job, decent pay and a Masters degree at the end of it. I'm fucking torn and have no idea what to do. Mental health work can be hard and very bloody stressful. The sector is really struggling. Yet I'd probably be good at it.

 

Decisions make me grumpy.

Do it.

Selling loads of merchandise.....

You do know you have to decide what is right, or at least acceptable, for yourself.  I know as that's why I was sacked, also management were an arse so I pointed this out to them many times.

 

I had a chat with someone earlier this year when collecting an amp from them and was so impressed with their job I've just applied for this

Hah!  Good for you mate.  Enjoy it. Best of luck.  I've got a big concert tomorrow and running sound and light, as well as performing.  Nothing like it.  Nothing like it.

Christmas conference in Newcassel like yesterday. Couldn’t get a train that would guarantee me safe arrival on time, so opted to drive up rather than travel the night before.

 

Son woke up at 1:45 am and, despite my best efforts, couldn’t get back to sleep. Left just after 4 - Scotch Corner at 6:45 - Vermont Hotel at 8:15.

 

Concierge were absolutely fine with me parking an appallingly dirty Avensis between their two resident Rolls Royce’s - but then started to feel unwell. Coughed and sneezed all the way through the day before it got to 5pm and I just decided to come home.

 

So, no meal or disco dancing for me which I’m disappointed about.

 

But NOT as disappointed as I am I myself for not having oil in the boot of my car and having to pay £16 for one litre of oil at Washington Services.

 

Still, I’ve learnt my lesson. Oil looked a touch low when I checked last week but I guess the lower it gets, the hotter the remaining fluid gets and the quicker it burns.

 

Still. No hangover this am. Every cloud.

Checked my bank on Wednesday. £500.00 ish in PayPal payments gone out. So cue cancel bank card and then stop further payments from PayPal to Sony Playstation. After checking seems I must have put my PayPal details in my lads Playstation when I bought it in August. Can't remember doing it. Anyway my seven year old has has a great time buying loads of Fortnite game stuff over the weekend. Made a few calls but has its my own fault I can just suck it up. So had to go to bank and join a long line of people to get some money out cos no card. So about ten people waiting and four staff asking people if they can help them use a machine instead of waiting. Just banks deliberately getting people to use online. No surprise to see the ten people in front of me were over sixty. I am actually all online and don't need to see a human in normal practice. I am also running foster child , 14 yr old girlie.ariund a lot for good reasons. However my big happy bus eats petrol . £70.00 has lasted me four days . Plus my gas and electric has gone up £50.00 a month on my new deal. Looked at swapping but not worth it. Saving grace is that I won't starve or lose my house. Was talking to a parent of small children last week who has had her benefit sanctioned due to missed appointments cos her daughter was taken into hospital. I understand that there are a lot of bone idle wether spoon tenants who need a kick up the arse but the system is fucked.

The nearest branch of my bank is currently in Wolverhampton.  Once that also shuts in January, the closest will be in central Birmingham...

My brother and his partner (both medicos) were horrified when I told them I had superglued and steri striped the big flap of skin I attempted to detach from my finger whilst chopping veg back in place.

 

Apparently there are two grades of superglue - medical and non medical

 

I haven't died yet

I'm heading out to rescue the Doloshite. It is 80 miles away, it'll probably be dark by the time I get home...

Whatever it’s about, Iggle Piggle is a little shit

Just been to in laws house to put eye drops in father in laws eye. I'm not on the 4 times a day Rota. What amazes me is the parking for the school up the road.

Not one car not on the pavement. Parking on junctions. Double parking. Over people's drives.

[Amishtat]

For truly inconsiderate motoring you'll go a long way to beat school run mummies.. Daddies too I dare say, but you seem to see fewer of them

[Kiltox]

Sitting around waiting for a bank transfer to clear.

 

HSBC and Halifax in Gloucester are metres apart, I could’ve transferred the cash in person faster.

Is there nothing superglue can't sort, I do keep a tube in my patching up drawer for when I get cashed one way or another

[rantingYoof]

Lexus is poorly .

 

Steering pump making all sorts of whining noises (matching the engine speed) and lots of groaning and shuddering from the steering wheel at low speed manoeuvres. Only really bad when very cold...when the car has warmed up it all seems okay, and it's less noticeable when the ambient temperature is higher.

 

Going to investigate power steering fluid first and hope it's just low.

 

I can imagine a pump is expensive to replace by itself but I cannot bring myself to look up the cost of replacing the steering rack...

My ex lived near a primary school.

 

Parents would think nothing to parking across your drive then walking off, while you were literally reversing out. Never seem anything like it.

That sounds like a classic symptom of low fluid and associated air in the pump to me.

 

Top up if necessary (may have to do it with the engine running to help dispel air) and bleed by turning the wheels slowly from almost lock to almost lock.Put the tyres on something slippy, or just drive forward slowly while turning the wheel.
