The grumpy thread

On a similar note to the above, I also really like scimitars but being told by some grunting oaf that 'Princess Anne had one of those' every time you stop for petrol would begin to become rather wearing after a while.

 

It really did. That and "they never rust."

Fucking Greece again. Spent the last couple of weeks praying to the Flying Spaghetti Monster to see if we can avoid having elections for the THIRD time within 14 months. Luckily, disaster was avoided, although the governing coalition is a bit less stable now. I don't want to talk politics on Faceache, I need more Autoshite in my life.

 

Also this new forum doesn't seem to be very happy with Chrome's javaphobia, so I have to open a Mozilla window in order to post.

 

Rant over, I'm going to look at some shite threads to cheer myself up!

Bolsover Council.  I'm no longer under their jurisdiction, happily, but they really do come across as a shower of under trained unenthusiastic unprofessional unctuous bumbaclots.  Not even Staveley Council manage to cock up accounts, payments, forms and personal details and at least Sheffield had the good grace to be arrogantly condescending so you knew they weren't going to try and help you from the off.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Sheffield Council are EPIC. They've just ticketed me for not feeding the meter while I had been (parked in accordance with the T&Cs and) displaying a permit ISSUED BY THEMSELVES. I am going to fill in the 'challenge' form with no information on the permit, I will just say 'I look forward to embarrassing you at the court'.

EBay and their shitty listing tools.

 

Never in all my years using eBay have they had a listing tool which has consistently worked.

 

I'm not trying to do anything fancy, I just had a couple of Scalextric cars to list so after listing a couple used the 'sell a similar item option' which I have used in the past and has sped up proceedings nicely. All seemed to be going swimmingly until I realised that all the item specifics I changed, in fact did not change at all, and no amount of trying to revise my item is changing that fact. I change the specifics, save, and it goes straight back to saying that this Ford RS200 is a Datsun.

 

BAH, maybe I'll just take a group shot and offer the remaining 50 or so on forums, seems easier, without fees and marginally less imbecilic fucktards when you do make a sale.

I think I've worked out how to make the AS Facebook page approximately 75 times less shit, and it's all because of a question -

 

When's that gobshite MOT tester with the RR Sport getting banned?

 

and the pricks who 'like' everything he says

Fuggin parking attendants. Same nazis, different uniforms.

Hateful unfunny lacq-lustre comments - in an otherwise interesting thread - from someone possibly in a cubicle.  Fuxake, give it a rest...

What I don't get is why he still likes to hang around here an try to disrupt things when he stormed off and made his own forum because this place wasn't to his liking.

I think most people have either learnt to ignore him or blocked him now anyway.

[trigger]

I came off the Autoshite facebook page a month ago, I can't say I've missed it in any way, I've just had a quick look and it's still the same twats mouthing off shite like that Dino with the FSO, what's his beef?

 

Also photos of portaloos and caravans do not interest me...

so yep, the only day of rain for 2 weeks is today when I was booked in for the Weston Park car show. Forecast for the next week is great too....typical.

 

I hope rock-Lobster didn't go to Hoghton Tower as I got an email saying it was cancelled.....at 7.50am!

 

Yep, I did go. Got there about 7.45 

 

Its only about twenty five minutes away in all fairness and the van was loaded and I wass awake so I thought I might as well see what the score was.

 

In all fairness, full credit to the organisers for cancelling though - too many show organisers will push on despite the weather and poor turnout as otherwise they either have to reschedule or refund and they don't like doing either.

 

They've reorganised the Hoghton Tower show for 8th September so hopefully it'll be dry then.

 

What was the show at Weston Park? I'm there in ten days for CamperJam, I hoping it will be better than last year which was no fun at all -

A few pages back I mentioned how my cat did a 4am kamikaze dive out the window.  End result was having the flesh around the lower jaw stitched back to his body, a lot of anguish on my part and a horrendous vet bill. He seemed ok at first but suddenly refused to eat or drink and began pulling clumps of fur out. Just gone right back to the vets and the stitching in his jaw had all come loose, which explains why he would have been in pain. Vets think they can do it again but I'd be facing a similar bill (not entirely sure why as they're basically refitting their last attempt, but it's not as if it will get better on its own.) So he's back in for another night but I have just found out I'm eligible for PDSA. Seeing him in pain is utterly destroying me and I nearly broke down completely when explaining to the boss why I would be late into work (and will have to do the same tomorrow). Whilst I feel a bit guilty for using them, the cost is getting dangerously close to money I simply don't have, and since I don't want him to suffer that would only leave one alternative.............

Poorly cat...

  

 

Nasty stuff, I know exactly how you feel. Had my favourite cat put to sleep last year and I was gutted and really, really upset by it.  

Vets bills can be ridiculous though but even so you know that if there is something can do you'd spend the money. 

 

Good luck with it, hope the furry chap gets better.

[retrogeezer]

It was with Transtar Promotions Lobster, we didn't bother going as it is an hours drive each way so not worth wasting the fuel. Not sure if it was cancelled or rescheduled (again) - I didn't get an email so I guess not.

Hope your cat pulls through NC, I remember being in bits when one of my cats had an eye infection and it looked like he had lost his eye. Both mine are now sadly gone..  

[Lacquer Peel]

If it annoys you so much, I'm going to keep on posting. Soz!

No skin off my nose. Just seems mental that you spend time posting on a forum you openly despise. You contribute fuck-all to AS other than cluttering up threads you don't like with pointless comments - oh, the irony!

 

Why do you bother?

 

[P.S. I'd like something more than a single line sarcastic rejoinder, if you don't mind.]

I think it's just his "Saddowitzian Scottish Humour".

 

Don't let it bother you Jon, When Scotland gets its chance to fuck the UK off he'll have to produce his passport before he can post.

I'm so sorry to read this and honestly hope your chamber lion will get well.

It was, in the most part. But Len was involved in its creation too.

 

Nick had his reasons for leaving and you know, left. Len stuck around. Why? Why bother with a forum he hates? Madness.

 

No explanation forthcoming, I see. Speaks volumes.

I think you should join Moto Neurone Scat and become a troll yourself. That'll teach him!

[Cavcraft]

Aye, good luck with the cat, hope the little blighter pulls through. You have SFA to feel guilty about using the PDSA, if it makes him better then that's all that matters.

 

As regards any problems on here folks then use the 'report' button under whichever post has annoyed you enough. It's nothing to do with playing Bedroom Nazi Moderator (or whatever) but the report function is there for a reason. Can't please all of the people, all of the time, but it's daft not to use the function if it's there.

[Lacquer Peel]

I don't know why I stick around, it's irrational. I'd like to browse without 'contributing' but I can't help myself.

 

Other people joined in on the misinformation on that thread, why aren't they getting a hammering?

[dollywobbler]

I must concede to having had a useful chat with LP regarding Disco stuff, and I did actually chuckle out loud at "Harold Shipman designed the Renault Espace." Can't say I agree with everything he posts, but I'm sure we can all say that about quite a lot of posts. The world goes on.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I like LP and hope he sticks around

[warren t claim]

The new forum's only just run in and already we're suffering from members bickering. Can't the pair of you sort this out by Queensbury rules or something?

Dunno Sherlock, because they're not an itinerant pain in the arse?

 

I just find it deeply hypocritical that you derail threads you take a dislike to.....................and that was your whole reason for tearing the arse out of new members a couple of years ago. Do you not see the problem?

 

If I don't like a thread or having nothing to bring to it. I don't post in it. Ever thought of doing the same?

 

No, my self-discipline is poor.

Car dealers.

Why in the name of all that is Godly would you want to describe a car as "lady owner".

Im a nurse, I work with shit loads of women, most of whom have fuck all idea about cars.
Dinner time today and Im on the car park looking over a "lady owner" Zafira whose OIL warning sign is on, with fuck all oil (and what there was was smelly thick treacle) and bugger all coolant.

It badly needs a service says I, when did you last have it done?
Ummm, never, says she.

 

Lady owners - fucking liability owners
