The grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

Am I the only one disappointed to find out Vanessa's Lunchbox wasn't a metaphor for Ms Paradis' hippo's yawn? 

 

I'm pissed off as it's been a long, hard week at work and more importantly I lost my weekly darts champ mantle. THIS WILL NEVER DO.

'Hippo's Yawn' LOLOLOL

[dugong]

Sadly Vanessa's Lunchbox is not a mewling gash. It's a completely shashed old Tamiya remote control van that has a fuddled MSC and has been in the pond more times than Doctor Who wetting his end. For some reason the stupid POS has 151 watchers all of which keep sending me irritating 'Will you end the auction now \ I don't know what it's worth' PMs. 

 

I name my price. 

'Oh I'm not paying that it needs too much work and the postage is too expensive.'

Etc. Repeat. 

[dugong]

192 watchers. 

So there are sadder people out there than me.

I used to have a lunchbox and gave it away! Gah! I still have a Hornet though.

This is much more pleasant than what 'Vanessa's Lunchbox' made me think of - that hideous fat cow Vanessa Feltz stuffing her gob with a lunchbox full of cake. That really isn't a nice thought just before bedtime

Has any one else 'actually' shit themselves whilst trying to be normal today?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Not yet!!! You never know though

Nearly, yesterday afternoon. But I made it to the works bog in time.

 

Enjoy your breakfast...

Ebay spackers that think they can measure a thread pitch using a ruler. Yeah, I'm sure your eye can accurately do 0.25 mm differences.

Lunchbox is at £14 with a day to go. Told four other people to FOAD asking 'how mutch 2 end aucntin now'. The latest twerp has very generously offered me another £6 to 'end the auction now.'    He'll even pick up tomorrow! 

He......................wasn't very happy with my response. GO BIG SPENDER!

[dugong]

Car buyers.
YES OR NO? DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT? 

Fire up the gas axe. My patience has run out.

Is this the GS?  How much have you got it advertised for (sorry if I've missed something...)?

 

I stuck the Saab on Gumtree a few days ago - not entirely sure why, as I actually quite like the old crate, but I do have too many cars at the moment and the tax is up at the end of the month.  Put it on for £350 - slightly more than I paid for it, but enough to cover the expense of getting it back from Sussex, with room for a (small) drink or a (very small) amount of wiggle room on the price.  Still cheap enough I'd've thought for a fully functional convertible with 5 months' test.  I've lost count of the number of people offering me £150-£200 and acting like they're doing me a favour.  So I've fucked them all off and I'm going to keep it now.  Another week or so and the Daewoo logbook should be here - that can go on Gumtree instead, noisy power steering pump and all.

It's easy done, just count ten threads and measure the distance

Only works if you can count to 10, and aren't a total retard. Why I get geniuses telling me it's M10 mate 0.9 pitch.

[twosmoke300]

You can get 0.9 pitch. Old jap bikes used it.

Mr. Moneybags on eBay is turning into a bit of an arse. Do I block him now or wait for him to show his true colours? I don't want him knowing my address.

It's pretty icy around here. We have a grit box at the end of our street. Being a civic-minded sort, I togged up in my hi-vis and wellies, and went to fire some salt around the place. I'd been out about 5 minutes when I heard the sound of something meaty, accompanied by an autobox that was all over the show, up and down the gears. A Cayenne Turbo slithered into view and then stopped next to me. The fat bastard who was driving it put down the window and said "About time too. And you'd better make sure you do the whole place properly." Red mist descended, and I said "Get out and fucking help, fat bollocks. You could do with the exercise." He just drove off. I can only imagine he thought I was a council worker. What a fartknocker. Still, a good way to impress my new neighbours. Not.

[purplebargeken]

^^ priceless 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

^^^ Nice one

Inconsiderate parking

 

Came home yesterday afternoon to find a visitor to our new neighbours thought it was OK to park, half blocking my drive.

When the silly b***h came out, her excuse was she doesn't like reversing. WTF

A couple of years nearly everyone on my street was out clearing the snow  as it had come down pretty heavily the night before. One prick who lives at number 20 sat there in his 240Z with the engine running watching everyone clear the snow and grit the road. Eventually when he thought it was safe enough just drove past everyone without a word or acknowledgment. 

 

However karma came back and bit the poncy fucker on the arse. 

 

 

HA! Take that you cock.

Over the years i have rebuilt cars,bikes,houses all sorts.But i am trying to change Optimus Prime from transformers back into a wagon for my 8 year old and haven't got a clue.

I've got a another bloody puncture on the Merc. I recon I've had 5 punctures in 18 months and 3 of them have been on the same wheel even though 2 of those punctures ended up with a new tyre being fitted.

I could be the first person ever to get tread on the spare skinny wheel down below legal levels because of the mileage I've done on it.

[tooSavvy]

Skinny? Someone around my way has had a skinny on their Punto so long it is rusty/age weathered

 

 

TS

[cort16]

I tell you what it's lethal with it on. If feels normal in a straight line but around a corner at any more then about 4mph is banzia drifto camberwankel oversteer.
