The grumpy thread

[Slappy]

Orange Weds finishes on the last week of Feb according to the Beeb.

 

My missus was already planning on getting a "members card" or similar, which offers significant discounts, which might be the way to go if you're regular cinema goer.

 

Bloody annoying though, as there's tonnes of stuff coming out next year which will be tickling my fancy, especially next Christmas.

Been looking for a set of 3 stud Samba Amil wheels since I got the LNA in August - just missed out on a set on eBay tonight... Had stuck in what I thought to be a pretty high bid, but a fellow sniper beat me by a fiver at the last minute...

 

Bah.

[Bren]

Did my 10 k run before.

 

I have forgotten how painful hailstones on bare legs are.

 

You could probably see my thighs from space they are so red.

Swap to O2. They always have a 45% discount at cineworld on the o2 priority. They have discount on sweets and popcorn too sometimes

When's that? I use it a fair bit.

 

March 2015 I believe, got some time yet. Well, you've got 11 Wednesdays.

 

I read that it was being canned mainly because the cinemas couldn't agree on terms - typically, EE don't want to pay much and the cinemas want, MOAR CASH. This sounds just like cinemas have sussed that people are buying a PAYG EE Sim for 99p, luzzing £10 credit on it every three months, and getting 12 free cinema tickets. Because I know loads of people that do that, otherwise the cinema is a massive waste of cash. £50 a family to watch a film in the company of loads of other people who can't be quiet, to drink some ice with a splash of fizzy pop, and eat chocolate at four times the price that the corner shop does it.

 

Cinemas will one day work out why people pirate films, but perhaps only when they've all gone bust. Last time I went to watch a week-old film on an EE Wednesday ticket, the showing had twenty people in it tops - but they still employ a bloke to make sure you don't sit in the posh seats on your scutter ticket, even though there's twice as many posh seats as people.

I emailed the area person for a dog rescue charity offering my services as a 'doggy driver'. Got an email back saying thanks, here's a form to fill in and would I be able to help transport a dog from A to B. Happy to says I. Filled form in and heard nothing back. Sent a couple of emails saying have you got the form and I am still interested in helping with said dog. No response whatsoever. Bollocks to you then. 

[fordperv]

It's the same as going up and offering to walk the dogs and getting told no thanks, a local one did this to me and the mrs.

[UmBongo]

I feel sorry for tesco staff - its those that will suffer.

 

I wish I could go back to 1974 etc....

 

I'd feel sorry for them too if the staff at my local store weren't such a shower of unhelpful, miserable bastards.

[vulgalour]

It's the time of year mostly though, isn't it?  Supermarket and courier staff are all treated like utter shit by their managers and it becomes a destructive cycle of hate and apathy.  People don't take pride in their work because people are, on the whole, treated like worthless numbers.  Pretty depressing.  We're taught to want promotions and strive for greatness and all that, but if you just want a steady, reliable job you can do for a couple of decades for a decent living wage and keep yourself to yourself and live modestly you're considered a failure.

 

I reckon that's why so many go self-employed now, at least you don't have some arsehole breathing down your neck making you feel worthless, instead you just have to put up with faceless online conniving mouth-breathers.

[fairkens]

Dog charities tend to be inundated with offers to walk dogs, they'll probably need more help feeding and cleaning etc

[jakebullet]

Ebay twats that think the world revolves around them.

 

twat #1 moaning his dice STILL haven't arrived. Your in northern ireland, you paid for 2nd class, it's only 3 days later. Ever heard of Christmas?

 

Twat #2 moaning his ball hasn't arrived. #2 doesn't know I now send the balls tracked. Tracking shows delivered yesterday. Nice try son, jog on.

[Caffiend]

Today it would be quicker to list what isn't making me grumpy. I am NOT REASONABLE today, so had better get off the internet ...

We were happy to do everything and told them that, we still take food and stuff up for them though.

[Mr Lobster]

Tesco will be fine even if they did cook the books. Folk like buying shite and tesco sell loads of that infact they'll even deliver it to your door.

Tesco will bounce back. They are still a massive business that makes a lot of money. Longer term they'll be fine.

 

Its just that the Daily Mail etc enjoy giving them a kicking and telling us how bad they are. The same Daily Mail etc would be moaning like fuckers if they gave them such a utter drubbing that the share price goes down to such a point where Carrefour or some other foreign chain start getting interested in a takeoever.

[Cavcraft]

Tesco must be doing ok, I think there's only about 1.2mm of land they haven't got a shop on in Chester now.

[Inspector Morose]

That must be where the new Waitrose is then!

[chaseracer]

1.2mm?  It'll be a very 'little Waitrose'...

[Cavcraft]

I've been in there once, that was enough. I did raise the bar for my kids by walking up the down stairs and down the up stairs, though.

My head fooking hurts...

Took the puppy up to my mams last night. He jumped on the bed I was sleeping in and did a massive piss on it. Then on the way back I pulled up outside my house, and was just about to lift him out of the car when he spewed about 400g of beef heart and trimmings all down the gap between the passenger seat and the center console area. I stuffed him in the house and then set about cleaning it up. 

I can handle turds but sick is just too much - I copped one bad whiff by surprise when I had a warm handful and ended up spewing all my breakfast on the pavement. 

 

Had to find my spline bits to take the seat out to dig all the chunks of meat out of the gap, it was a right shitshow. I've used a full tin of foamy cleaner stuff and stuck one of them black ice air fresheners in (which some passing asbo teenagers said smelled "mint"). Now I need to go macdongalds and replace the breakfast I wasted.

[Inspector Morose]

Just had my speeding notification come through from Warwickshire eciloP from two months ago. Balls. Plus side is that they do a speed awareness course that's cheaper than the fine.

 

Can't complain really, my fault.

[chaseracer]

Were you driving the BX, or a bus?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I've lost my locking wheelnut thingy for the Rover 75, only bought the bastard thing a week or two ago, think I left it in the wheel when i went for a test drive like a TWAT. £20 for a new one.

[Lankytim]

Speeding tickets should come through within 2 weeks, unless it wasn't your car and they been tracking you down.

[dugong]

Bollocks.

 

[dugong]

WOT? No sarky comment from the Citroen fan-boy suspension brigade?

 

This place isn't what it used to be, wave of the future, etc.

[MrDuke]

Springs are shit.

 

[/fanboi]

[dugong]

Springs are shit.

 

[/fanboi]

Yeah, but working brakes.

[meshking]

Wouldn't have happened in a 2cv. [/fanboy-deux]
