The grumpy thread

[willswitchengage]

Watching this week's Question Time and they're talking about the UK's future energy mix in possibly the least technocratic manner possible akin to Newt Gingrich and his moon colonies. Can't wait for blackouts in the next decade, I'll be buying 1,000 solar trickle chargers for the house from Maplin soon. As usual, the non-politician guest seems to attract the biggest applauses [/cynical]. Eugh the NIMBYs irritate me though, I think they forget that it doesn't get built in their's, it will in somebody else's, who probably can't afford as good a lawyer.

Nuclear power FTW. This solar and wind power stuff is utter pish.

I think Autoshite is remarkably chilled out compared to some forums I go on... 99.99999999999% of any piss-taking is good-natured from what I can see.

 

 

AS turned me into a newt

 

 

 

 

...... i got better though

[Albert Ross]

It's amazing what you miss on AS when you have a job............................. Bollocks. I didn't even get a PM. That kind of thing makes me grumpy.

I'm going to buy a sloar panel and wire it up to a lightbulb positioned over it = INFINITE ENERGY

It's amazing the number of uploaders on Youtube who have solved the mysteries of perpetual motion and free energy.

Friggin' PhotoBucket.

 

Adverts and 'customise your album' boxes all down the right side of the screen obscuring some of the pictures. Just fuck off will you.

Three women I know who've had IVF have had twins or triplets. Start saving for a people-carrier.

 

Yeah, Triplets are very common on IVF, I'll have to save up for a Nissan Prairie.

 

Taking of muppets over on RR, there's a new one on there tonight bragging how his Nissan Sunny ZX Coupe can do 151 mph because that's what his Tom Tom said, What a helmet cheese.

Guy's I have been brought up into a family of motorsport, And mechanic's..

More than welcome to comment on my thread, But when I say I have had 151MPH I have had 151MPH, Don't mean to come across "Narky" But I don't need telling what my own car can and can't do when I have done it for myself........

Kids, don't support your car with a scissor jack when working underneath. At least buy some Aldi axle stands...

 

And don't use your mum's favourite rug to lie on either.

That's utter class. 151 from a Sunny ZX Cowpat.

 

Of course, once he changes his fifth gear who knows what's possible. I reckon when he gets his JDMYO spec alloys there'll be claims of 17,500 mph and trips to the Gregg's on the moon during his lunch break.

 

200 RPM, probably. If RPM is 'rogue apostrophes per minute'.

If it is a real imported RZ-1, it won't have a CA18DE (and it's very unlikely to have been swapped there as the compliance paperwork for an engine swap costs a fortune). Best engine in Japan was the CA16DE.

But is it a Jap import or is the fool just talking bo11ox? To be fair it hasn't got the spoliers like the UK spec ones had (which were 1.8's for a while). Either way it still wouldn't do 151 mph, even if it was pushed of a cliff.

Matalan sales rail suits, perma-tanned giffer-ettes, sunglasses, pin-on passes, sirens going ten to the dozen and coppers everywhere. Deep joy, the races are in town again

I take your races and raise you the fucking pony club taking over the racecourse, near where we walk the dog. Rude, arrogant, horribly self-centred ignoramouses abound, and that's just the adults...

Ah, but do they turn in in their thousands, fight everyone in sight, drink/vomit/piss on the streets (literally) and shove their way through to the bar because they're wearing a cheap suit and have spent £11.00 (or whatever) getting through to the 'posh but not the poshest' bit of the course?

It's ok though, the council just laugh it off because of the revenue it brings in.
