The grumpy thread

[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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

^^^^Wrong thread^^^^^^

Well done, don't worry too much, she will be fine.

Facebook's good for only two things; the old car groups and stalking people.

[Lankytim]

Went to go to work this morning to find this,

 

 

Only just got the bastard thing too. Nothing taken but all of the Daughters stuff over the pavement which was upsetting to see. CSI Stoke on Trent will be here in 20 mins to take some prints and hopefully even catch the crims, If I find out who it was the police won't have much left to catch.

[trigger]

Oh FFS. horrible nasty bastards. Someone broke into one of my cars and stole my CD player years ago, the feeling you get when seeing your car like that is sickening.

[Lankytim]

Scenes of crime bod has been (v impressed with the speed of the police on this one) and because it had rained overnight they couldn't get any prints. I hope the perpetrator(s) die of acne.
