The grumpy thread

[sierraman]

Ha! House over the way deals drugs. One of her clients is having trouble starting his car! I'm sat here in the garden having a fag and watching!

 

Grumpy because if I knew where my leads were id still go and help...

No fuck him, you don’t want cretins like that living round you.

[myglaren]

Raging wisdom tooth pain.

 

I wouldn't mind but I'm not even wise. (If I was I would probably go to a dentist).

Son has just had a wisdom tooth out in hospital.  Had to have his jaw broken in three places to dig all the bits out.

[scaryoldcortina]

They're crusty but they're not difficult to see. I parked there knowing it was double yellows, intending to move my car shortly, thinking that because everyone else does it every day it would be fine. I'm not gonna even try and contest it.

 

Wasn't it Scary on here who had months of arguing about a genuine case of loading a guitar speaker whilst parked on DYLs? And that's a proper case of should be exempt. Not "Can't be arsed to drive any further I'll just leave it here" like muggins here.

 

No, I was loading in a loading bay...

I got an infection in one of my non-erupted Wisdom teeth 18 years ago. Actually got so bad I saw a dentist. Antibiotics cleared it up. He told me I'd better have them out as they would only get infected again. I've spent 18 years happily proving him wrong.

This is similar. It's actually the gum that's inflamed, the tooth hasn't fully erupted. I read up and saltwater washes or antibiotics should clear it up. The dentist told me last time if it happened more than twice I would have to have it out. I hadn't told him that was about the 7th time and this one probably takes us into double figures.

 

I don't really trust them as they told me about desperately needing a filling in another tooth. This was news to me so I declined. This urgent filling has never been mentioned in the 3 year and 2 x-rays since. I smell a scam.

[Bobthebeard]

Phone calls..... This number has called me at least ten times per day since last November. Just music. PITA.

020 8089 7361.

[myglaren]

That's the reason I chucked my phones away.

[Bobthebeard]

Looks like my Saab 9-3 convertible is back up for sale. Someone on here definitely * wanted it but hasn't been in touch since the 19th of December. Cheers for wasting my time fella!

[Sheefag]

Parking tickets? No problemo...

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Hyperactively angry today.  No idea, either.  Was the same yesterday.  Absolutely off my tree.  Can't see why.

It'll be those cunts fault….. for sure.

 

Hope you're OK dude. Take a breath and enjoy your weekend...…………

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Hah!  Nobody has done anything wrong.  I was a bit like it yesterday, too.

 

At least I've tried to be productive at work but I either want to sleep or run a mile and my brain can't work out which.

[BorniteIdentity]

Beat me to it.

 

If I’m sad, I will always try and get out and walk. If I’m mad, I’ll try to sleep.

 

Nearly always works. All you have to do is convince yourself to actually do it.

[myglaren]

My neighbour who is usually quite smart has just driven off with only her daylight driving lights on and it is pitch black here.

Stupid idea, should have adopted the Volvo/Saab system or at least had automatic lights.

[DVee8]

MrsV8 has a hospital appointment next week,regarding a operation to have one removed.

Which hospital was this? MrsV8 is at Sunderland next week..

You don't see that many Arabic chaps over here driving the sort of stuff we do.

Name and shame, its the only way twats will stop being twats on here.

[beko1987]

No fuck him, you don’t want cretins like that living round you.

No, their not made welcome! They live next door to Lenny, who is the most grumpy twat ever, the one who polices the car park and blocks people in who park in his bit of dirt... He likes me though because I service his car, so he's a handy man to know!

 

So their fairly quiet, and mostly just deal weed. It's great fun arriving home from work, clocking one trying to silently walk away to his car and booming a big, cheery hello how you doing as I walk past

[myglaren]

Which hospital was this? MrsV8 is at Sunderland next week..

 

Would be a London one - probably St. Barts as he is conducting clinical research there.

 

[Parky]

It’s a very sad day gentlemen. And ladies. Stop the clocks, lower the flags to half mast, and cancel all TV programming to be replaced with sombre music.

 

Today, I Parky, have taken the daily for its MOT and it.....has.....failed. I am ashamed. For the first time in my 11 year tenure of said Seat I have faced the humiliation of a failure sheet.

 

Fortunately it was because the sealing ring on the fuel filler cap had a small split in it which might have allowed fuel to leak a bit if the car was upside down. Fair enough. One replacement cap ordered for £6 and I can’t see it being a job to change considering it screws in and out when you fill it up. Other than that it was fine. Even the emissions were all bob on so it’s not all bad at all. Still a bit annoying though, I would rather he had passed it and made me promise to buy a new one ASAP, but instead it means going back later in the week to get it signed off.

 

£6 repair to get another years ticket isn’t so bad

[Saabnut]

Bah! After the dash across europe the rear brake pads are down to metal on the Saab and I am approximately 1000 miles from home! Parts in France are ££££, take ages and the store is the far side of Le Mans. Fortunately Bill at Saabits has come to the rescue and a new set are making their way down here. Of course, this is the first time I have forgotten to chuck a trolley jack in the boot so it will have to be the OE jack FFS!

[Guest Hooli]

You mean you don't check them weekly along with oil & water like the manual suggests?

[purplebargeken]

Reckless Saab owner, who'd have thought it.

[Guest Hooli]

Saab owners forums would berate him for shoddy maintenance....

They would not dare! Besides, I check them every time they start making odd noises.....

What, the forums?

[omegod]

I fucking detest winter, outdoor car jobs that should take an hour end up being 4 hour twatfests 

[Aston Martin]

I have broken every rib in my chest... ok, maybe just bruised something.

 

I was leaning over a brick wall to grab a bucket (too lazy to climb the steps) and bam, chest exploded.

 

I did the same thing before, climbing into a shipping container.

[richardmorris]

Walked out of the post office / smiths in camberley this morning after being ignored by the counter staff for several minutes. Yes it was 5 minutes to nine but they were sitting at their counter talking and I wanted to hand them a parcel with the correct postage on it for their bag.

We don’t open till nine.

I’d just like you to put it in the bag please.

We don’t open till nine.

Can I just hand you the box?

You’ll have to weigh it to pay the postage.

I’ve done that, but ok, and put it on the scales.

Nothing, and start chatting to themselves again.

We can’t do anything, see if my colleague round try corner can help ( pre pay box things).

 

At which point I said I’d try a post office and walked out- it was by then after 9 anyway. Last time I went to camberley they overcharged me too, so won’t be going back.

The one local to work is open 6am to 10pm in a spa - although they too have lost a packet of ours -we had an unpaid post card so put £2 of stamps on ten days ago sent it back, and that’s the last we’ve heard of it.

You could spend hours in casualty but I don’t think they do anything apart from bandage you up even if you manage to get an X-ray ( what my ex radiographer mum says anyway). Take it easy!
