The grumpy thread


Recommended Posts

Right where was I.. oh in an interview room that was it.

 

Okay the Police and I kind of got on aright, I did ask if they had spoken to Mr Cyandie they said they had.. I cant really divulge too much here except to say they may have laughed when I asked if I could blog about the whole experience and Autoshite.com got a mention whilst in interview (sorry). I said whatever I was doing I'm sure you could check my Facebook or on here. As it was Monza weldathon week.

 

I also couldn't help but think of Bevis and Butthead... the one where they go on a lie detector and keep going I DIDN'T DO IT.... I think I said that to anyone who would listen actually.

 

At the end of the interview they said they had to take my fingerprints again and I assured them that they hadn't changed since last time, and I smiled politely for my mugshot. Then went back to my cell.

 

(Last time I was 18 and it was a daft driving offence).

 

The people who interviewed me offered me a cup of tea, (which I didn't get).

 

Some time later a new custody sergeant started his shift and came and asked if I was alright, and offered me a cup of tea and some food. I said I was and accepted his offer. Some minutes later I got a plastic cup of tea and a lasagne which was rather nice. Oh and a safety spoon fork thing that I couldn't stab myself to death with. (They had already taken my trousers and my top and my shoes in case I decided I had had enough of life).

 

Luckily for me I hadn't anything else to be doing and I certainly wouldn't have been eating lasagne :D

 

An hour or so, and a couple of pisses later they let me out, I was free to go and I probably cant say anything more than: I DIDN'T DO IT!

 

I did say to the Police man who gave me a lift home that when they catch the people who did do it, and throw the book at them, I wished to be there also to throw a book at them. Apparently it's all computerised now so I would have to throw a computer at them. I suppose that will have to do.

 

He said I should join the Army. I may just do that.

My final word I suppose is that I was warned that "things would happen".

Please tell me you had proper legal advice?

Buggerstix, SambaS, that's some scary stuff to have happen to you. I'm going to assume you didn't do it and there's been some sort of appalling misunderstanding here. Legal Aid should be available to you if you require it, Citizen's Advice Bureau will have plenty of info on that for you. Unfortunately, the police can be a bit heavy handed but as long as you keep a level head as much as possible and help the police you should be okay. Was it you that had the crazy ex-boss?

Yea that's me and I declined a solicitor on the grounds I have nothing to hide. And wanted in and out as quickly as possible. And was brought up to believe the truth will prevail.

There's nothing wrong with admitting that you find the whole arrest scenario confusing and would like some advice from a solicitor.

Some things not to do in life:

 

Get married.

Vote.

Take your car to Kwik-Fit.

Wait in for British Gas.

Book a taxi for a certain time.

Bloody hell- that seems like a ridiculous ordeal. Surely they could limit themselves to asking you a few questions as opposed to throwing you into a cell straight away?

Posted

Bloody hell SambaS that is awful. I hope you told them about the threats from your ex boss. This cant be a coincidence?

The Apprentice. A show that I previously enjoyed appears to have turned into Big Brother.

My thoughts too but they said I was thinking too much into things.

It'll right itself next week when they split the teams up. Imho they need to get rid of Luisa Zissman and Uzma Yakoob, as they bring absolutely bollock all to the party and are hell bent on shit stirring/bitching.

Samba, I'd say you deffo 100% need a legal rep in this case. Don't they offer you one free of charge in interviews?

Yeah someone in the editing suite loves that Luisa. 50% of footage of the girls is her and her weird face. And they've really gone crazy with make-up this year.

None of them really stand out though unlike previous years.

Glad your experience is over Samba, have you read Kafka's 'The Trial'?

I don't know, I think that Scouse lad is pretty sharp and the tall bloke with the grey-ish hair. I reckon there's a bit to come from them as they seem quite level headed and appear to be 'thinkers'.

The posh bloke is too nice, the Welsh lad is a fucking weirdo and Zee is all bluster. He was starting to get found out on last night's episode and seems typical of your average gobshite sales person typem who is full of what they have done and will do, yet usually produce shit results.

That spring thing I found rolling about in the oil filter casing of the Astra IS the oil pressure release valve and the only way to replace it is to replace the filter casing. Mega.

I've ordered a new one from Vauxhall (I mentioned all their cars are shit while I was there) so it should be here on Saturday. I imagine it's going to be a cock of a job as access is limited.

Fuggin Piggo snapped a fuggin exhaust clamp so the fuggin exhaust pipe fell down and everythig sounded like the fuggin battle of Verdun.

Bloody French tat, the clamp was only 19 years old. This would have never happened with a proper car made in England.

Yeah that Welsh guy is weird. Looks like he's had some cheap plastic surgery.

I quite like that Francesca, but maybe that's because I've been watching too much internet porn lately and she looks like one of those 'actors'.

My grump is many-fold. (if thats a word.)

 

I have been suffering with back problems for a while now, and my GP has been unwilling to do anything about it, as I am "seriously" overweight and as being a fat bastard AND a smoker, as far as the NHS is concerned, I am satan himself.

I have dropped nigh on 10kg (is that about 2 stone?) in the last 9 months and cut done on the tabs a bit, and finally the doc referred me to a specialist in a not very local hospital. After a couple of MRI scans and the discovery of an "unidentified" growth on my spinal column, the decision was taken to operate on the herniated disc at L1 and S2 (?) and take a biopsy of the growth. They're 90% sure it's benign, and the main point of the operation is to relieve the pressure on the sciatic nerve.

The last consulatation was about 4 weeks ago, and the appointment for the pre-operative checks was last Wednesday, and the operation was for yesterday (Thursday 16th). As you can guess, this hasn't happened. Which has made my 2nd issue worse.

Which has been mentioned on here a couple of times, by other people, but i've been diagnosed with severe depression. I've been prescribed tablets, and a counselling session has been booked, and to be honest, i'm scared. I know that i've been bottling everything up for too long, there's stuff that goes back years, which i won't bore you with, but a couple of weekends ago, i had my "goodbye" letters written out, and had planned everything down to the last detail, basically to have an "accident" my life insurance policy and work pension will pay out, and leave my financial affairs in some kind of order. But i wasn't brave enough to do that, which made me even more unhappy.

I'm 43 years old, and i'm up to my neck in debt, got health issues, and feel like an utter failure, as a son, husband, friend, employee.

I know a shite old car forum isn't the place for this, but oddly i feel a bit better for typing some of this out.

Sorry for lowering the tone!

Yo' outlaw your not alone with Essex NHS, though oddly all my spinal stuff is done in Orsett (which is local to you I think). I had an appointment booked in the wrong hospital (same trust) two weeks ago. Then a bollicking for turning up late to the correct hospital...

 

How about a trip to canvey for a wander round the shite for sale in charfleets followed by Fast6 in the canvey flicks might cheer you up a few% fella?

Posted

Outlaw, sorry to hear about all these things, but you are deffo heading in the right direction by getting medication for the depression, the counselling can work wonders too. The hardest part of depression is getting your arse into gear to try and sort it out.

Posted

And having only just started to come out of my latest bout ( long term reoccurring depression. 31 years and counting) ^ is really the only answer. Feel free to pm if you want to bend a impartial ear. Trust me, I know how it feels. It 'ain't nice. It gets better though.

Posted

Hey Outlaw, hope things get better for you pronto, mate.

 

Funnily enough, I came on here today to have a grump, not about, but concerning NHS waiting rooms.

I had an op this week to repair a linguinal (groin) hernia. Prior to operations you're given a multitude of info telling you what's going to happen to you before, during and after the procedure, plus other info. On the leaflets I got, one part said 'please switch mobile phones off, as they can interfere with medical equipment'.

When you go into a waiting room there are signs which say the same.

I had to go to my GP's yesterday evening to get my wound checked and re-dressed. Right there in front of all the seats was the 'switch mobiles off' sign.

There was a woman taking call after call while actually looking at the bloody sign. While I was in the hospital waiting rooms, there were people doing the same. Are people so reliant on their mobiles now that they can't bring themselves to switch them off, even though it could interfere with medical equipment?

Silly I know, but absolutely boils my piss how uncaring people are.

Outlaw, You'd be surprised how many have depression, the worst thing to do is bottle it up. I was where you are about 10 years ago, with the goodbye letter written etc. I ended up taking 3 months off work on heavy meds until i felt well enough to face the world again. the point is there IS light at the end of the tunnel. It's imperative to see your GP for the right medication which will take a few weeks to have an effect, but it will help. I'm now at the point where I'm coming off the meds. stick with it chap and chin up.

Hey, Tetley, I always thought that but someone I know very well says it makes no difference to the equipment in the hospital amd apparently it's not just the patients who have their 'phones on.
