The grumpy thread

[cort16]

That Rover looks great for scrap money.

[Lankytim]

But it says its getting scrapped in 2012?

[Lord Sterling]

Yeah, that advert has been there since around 2011. Someone saw it and phoned up the seller who has amazingly still got it. Its not a bad car by all accounts.

[Partridge]

Oh ffs. Not *that* Rover. It was posted on AROnline two years ago!

To qualify for Trade membership you must be self employed or be an owner/director/manager of a small to medium size business. The cost to become a trade member is £20 +VAT annually and this also includes a complimentary spouse/domestic partner card. As a trade member you are also able to share the benefits of Costco membership with employees by purchasing up to six additional cards, at a cost of £12 +VAT per additional card.

 

Anybody fancy adding me to their account????

[skattrd]

Daveb47 -myself and several other shiters generally stock up on veg at supermarkets.

The last time I was in Tesco they were doing 3l for £3 and 2x 5l for £10, so £1 a litre. I walked out with 40l, which should last me the week

I know there are bigger problems in the world but a new trend in MURICUR is shaving cats so they look like lions. Which probably means people (retards) in the UK will start doing it soon.

3 litres of oil for 3 quid in asda yesterday

 

(no membership fee or proof of company status required)

[Cavcraft]

Dave: B&Q have a business card printing machine, you can knock up a design on Paint and print off some stationery yourself, then simply join Costco. In these modern times it's really not hard to 'bend' these sort of things and I'd wager decent money Costco won't be arsed as they'll want your custom anyhow.

 

 

*Edit: (same old grump at this time of year) what's the difference between drunken louts/gobshites in Matalan bargain bin suits and people who step out of a pub for a moment with a pint in their hand to use their mobile phone, but are NOT in Matalan bargain bin suits?

The former are race goers who bring loads of money into the city and are welcomed with open arms as they piss and fight in the street, the others are not.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Does it need to be a trade membership? It'd be much easier to get a personal membership.

[cobblers]

it's 90p a litre in costco btw

[retrogeezer]

plus VAT?

[cobblers]

no vat on food

Really don't like the sound of that

[Spiny Norman]

That could be quite amusing really, I predict lots of mongs covered in scratches and a huge increase in sales of Elastoplast.

[SambaS]

Well i'm annoyed

Nah, said mongs also have their cats 'de-clawed'. Yeah, really.

 

Edit:

Here is the link if any of you have a reddit account and wish to join me in a futile attempt to show my disapproval by downvoting it and upvoting the comments calling him a dick:

 

Unfortunately it's turned into another argument involving Americans thinking something is cool and acceptable and the rest of the world thinking the opposite. And 75% of reddit is yanks so it's a losing battle.

[Junkman]

What?

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Admittedly that made me LOL a little bit.

That really is quite sad. I went to a Little Chef on my gentle amble northwards for the Northwich meet. First time in years and the food was pretty good I thought.

They should try catering for hgv drivers.

They shut loads of them a few years ago. I want to buy one not far from here and make it into a proper motorists café, I reckon I could make shit loads of money.

[andrew e]

Somehow I have never eaten in a Lite Chef OR a KFC? I'm not a tree hugger or nothing, it's just never happened!

[cobblers]

Man, KFC is alright but near me they seem to only hire actual mongs, fair play to them and all that but it's a logistical nightmare trying to get any sense out of the staff, so I don't bother often cos you always end up with nothing like what you ordered and feel bad complaining cos the bird who took your order has done well to actually dress herself.

 

I had a little chef breakfast about 5 years ago, it was actually alright but a week later they flattened the place and built a carphone warehouse and dominos pizza - I'd rather a little chef tbh.

[Lacquer Peel]

Why did God create Domino's pizza? To punish mankind for his complacency in allowing the Holocaust to happen.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

^^^^^^

 

Last time I went in little chef (must be 10 years ago admittedly) they charged about £12 for a fried breakfast that was not as good as what a burger van towed by a knackered old jeep Cherokee could manage for 1/3 the price.

[Cavcraft]

I'm experiencing WATANABE COURSE WORK MARKS levels of anger at Flickr now. I can't even share pictures on there anymore, the useless fuckers.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Doesn't Little Chef go out of business/almost go out of business every couple of years? I got a refreshing deja vu blast reading that article.

think again

 

the lease/ground rent on those places is astronomical. Thats why the food is so fecking expensive and poor quality, while their minimum wage staff usually share a house nearby, owned by the manager, or area-manager, thus giving the management more power over their helpless slave/employees.
