The grumpy thread

[dollywobbler]

Fingers crossed Dean. Waiting is never fun at the best of times. Have you still got that Minor van? Wonder if distraction might work. I'm sure she'll be ok. These people are quite good at what they do. You never see a surgeon with gaffer tape.

[Bobthebeard]

My grump. The NHS. Control of it has now been handed over to GP's. who, lets face it, have already got a huge influence on deciding their own salaries and workload. It won't end well.

[Cavcraft]

Good luck, Dean, the best wishes of everyone on Autoshite go with you and your girlfriend. Keep us posted please mate.

[M'coli]

Fingers crossed here for you Dean too.

I should laugh really but I advertised my Astra in the Retro Rides boring for sale section. I layed out the advert properly, added pictures but because it's 2001 rather than 2000 they've removed the advert! Well I'm guessing this is the case as it's just gone. It's not like I was selling an 8 grand 2010 Mondeo or something it's an 850 quid bloody Astra. The section actually says "older than 2000" but there are 2000 cars in there, which means it's a load of shite. I'm a very naughty boy and should go away and think about what I've done.

[Cavcraft]

Oh aye, Vauxhall selling:

 

In the space of just ten short minutes the 'genuine, don't mess about, really want to buy it' buyer for my Corsa has had a 'family emergency'. What are the chances of that, hey? I mean, surely he's not making it up because he's a penniless moron?

[cort16]

Oh, and I can't get the sd1 to run right. It's always been grumpy when cold but now it's unusable and I cant take it in for it's test until it'll actually run. All the auto choke bollocks is disconnected so I might try to reconnect it.

The new Flickr update is fucking shit. Which makes me very grumpy.

 

Indeed. It is many times worse than the new Photobucket. I tried to add a comment to your post but my K key won't work in the comments box.

Plus a third eleventy. I liked using Flickr, I really did but now it's almost incomprehensibly shit and unusable

Also to go back to what others were saying about small cars. When I had one folks would generally either not notice I was there or do something bloody dangerous because I was. This made me drive like an aggressive arsehole in self defense. Neither is really acceptable. We all pay to use the road, why can't we all follow the same rules?

I use Flickr in work a lot, an for example was searching for a Cessna 350. I found a bunch of images, viewed one, saved it, and went back. Although the previous search is randomised and I lost the images.

It used to be so awesome, but not it seems ridiculous, an un-needed update.

[trigger]

I've set up a Ipernity account but going to pay Flickr by ear before I start changing sites due to the 29000 photos I've uploaded over the last 6 years.

[autofive]

just going to have beans on toast for my tea and find there is only 2 pans in the house and they are both dirty

 

wtf? where have all the pans gone

Just to let you know, they removed all of the tumour successfully. However she now has no sight out of her left eye, this might be bruising to the optic nerve as the tumour was under this. But, if she hadn't had the op, she would have lost her sight anyway. She now has an impressive scar in her hairline, various pipes coming out of her, but she's totally with it, and seems the same person I loved before the op. Now transferred into intensive care, and fingers crossed some vision might return in her left eye. Thanks for all your well wishes, Dean.

[trigger]

That's excellent news Dean, thanks for keeping us informed.

[Spiny Norman]

Glad to hear she's come through it OK, we're all rooting for her.

[Cavcraft]

That's excellent news Dean, thanks for keeping us informed.

 

+1, great news.

[Lankytim]

Good stuff Dean. Fingers crossed for you both.

[M'coli]

^^^ Great stuff, glad to hear it.

[warren t claim]

Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

[rml2345]

^WHS! Glad to hear it man and fingers crossed for you both.

[Shep Shepherd]

What everyone else said!

 

The very best of British to the lady

[retrogeezer]

yep, great news and fingers crossed for a swift recovery. We often forget how luck we are when we are healthy.

I left after someone was on there boasting about how he was going to banger an E Type

[SambaS]

I want to leave but the odd car pops up once in a while that interests me..

[autofive]

thats faecebuck for you

 

full of wankers, and 2/3 of them are racist wankers

[Danblez]

The number of people who complain about Facebook but continue to use it.

 

Does not compute!

[Rover414]

Well it's full of wankers but it is a useful took for keeping in touch with some people. Even if you have a wanker-free Facebook you still get to see wanker stories, posts etc by other people commenting on them etc.

[Cavcraft]

Dear Mr Astra,

I'm wellying it down a lane with a bike on my roof and you won't (or can't) keep up with me on the bends. I come across a slow moving car in front of me, it's impossible to overtake (twisty and narrow lanes) so I keep my distance.

I was really impressed* with how you then sat on my rear bumper and sort of kept veering across to the right to show me you wanted to pass. THAT'S why I braked so hard at the junction and you appeared to be shitting yourself as you only just managed to stop in time.

I AM a wanker, but you are a coward, aren't you?
