The grumpy thread

[The Moog]

Women and their illogical thinking. Drives me bonkers sometimes as no rhyme or reason...

[drum]

 

Simon McKinley is dead.

10 - Do a friend a favour and get nothing in return....thats not normal. A guy I know is a roofer and a client of mine want a roofing job done thats too big for me so I got my pal in to do a quote. Has he bothered his arse? no, no he hasnt. Now I am the one left looking like a dick because I talked this guy up to my client.

Done the same - a mate wants 16 windows replaced in his house. "I know someone who is excellent and can do that for a very good price" I tell him.

 

I contact my window fitter mate, adding a few photos of the house so he knows what will need to be done. I know he has seen and read my message, but no courtesy of a reply. Yet.

[Jerzy Woking]

A few things that have boiled my piss over the last few weeks.

 

John Motson. FFS man, retire!

 

Julian Ryder. The worst and truely hopeless Moto GP commentator. As bad as Charlie Cox ever was.

 

Anyone and everyone that says "That's what I'm talking about" when they never have talked about it.

 

Galleys Corner roundabout on the A120 at Braintree. And the shite drivers using it.

 

That is all. For now.

[EssDeeWon]

^ John Motson is just great, he still loves commentating but I do sometimes wonder what someone like him must make of this modern english game, im 32 and ive had enough of seeing some of our once great clubs getting sold down the river as rich foreigners play things, so I wonder what someone in their 70s makes of it all.

 

Nothings won anymore, its bought.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

The bloke who does the ansafone messages for DVLA with that fucking ridiculous 'Welshman from Eton' voice who calls a V5 a 'Certifee - Kate' and high voice inflections. Fuck off.

[hennabm]

Simon McKinley is dead.

I've never heard of him before but from the clip he certainly knew how to handle a "proper" car ie rwd.

 

RIP.

[HillmanImp]

 I found wire from a wee spool did that all the time, but I've not had many problems with the big spools.

 

Okay, might try that as put in the new neck liner tonight and its still doing it. How big a spool? Have only ever seen and used this size from Machine Mart? Know anywhere else in Leeds I can visit for a bigger spool? 

 

This is the first time I have ever had this problem, its annoying as fook as I was making good progress.

[twosmoke300]

Five kg spool is what you need

[chaseracer]

Simon McKinley is dead.

 

 

JAYSUSS AITCH FECKIN KROISTE!!

 

Did the man ever brake?

 

[Cavcraft]

A Gumtree offer of less than third of my asking price for a really nice bike I have with the kind* offer of cash the same day.

 

Facebook offer on the Vectra when it said 'no offers.'

[Stanky]

Are you ever tempted to reply to these mouth-breathers, agree to the pittance they offer and tell them to meet you at a massively bleak location then just not bother to go? Like say you'll meet them up on some grim, desolate windswept moor and then LOL your AO when, at the appointed time, you are drunk and on here?

 

Just wondered if anyone else has had this thought? Surely, as a private sale they have no come-back if you were to do this?

[jakebullet]

Poor dead Orville

 

Wonder if kiddy fiddler accusation club will spring into life now he's dead?

[Cavcraft]

I will do one day, and probably take long range pictures of some tit walking round a motorway services for half an hour. I have asked the person who made the offer what part of 'No offers' he didn't get and he's asked me to message him the mileage (on the advert) and what year the car is, which the clearly visible reg. number pretty much says for itself.

[OwdChina]

Damn shame about Simon McKinley............Hell he was fast. Seen him do a hillclimb in Donegal a couple of years back. I was running for cover before I even saw that MkII, i heard it screaming towards the hairpin flatout at about a zillion miles an hour and I just glanced in time to see it disappear round it. Top driver.

 

RIP Simon.

[Lord Sterling]

Pretty much everything right now is making me grumpy.

 

You know when your in one of those days where everything is just shit. Today is that day for me.

 

Work - shit, noisy, smelly and it bloody dragged today. Not looking forward to tomorrow

 

Cars - Dropped off Micra today to Mahmouds for a CV joint replacement. When I got back, CV joint had been replaced but it needed gear oil and the nit had seized. At this point I had a headache and wanted to go home. Then as the cars were being packed away mine got blocked in as the mechanics thought the Micra was staying. Thankfully Mahmoud saw this and decided that I wasn't going to be without a car. Gear oil got topped up through another inlet and is sorted, he charged me half the price of a CV joint for all the work.

 

Mercedes still doesn't have a new waterpump. I reckon mine must have been the only one ever made. I think I need to let Mahmoud know about Angry Dicky's contact.

 

Family - Ma got on nerves because apparently I am meant to read her mind or summat and then Pa and I had an arguement about how to go about getting Lady_Sterling into my life.

 

Fuck off Tuesday 28th April 2015 and take your shit aura with you.

[Partridge]

^^Is your Mrs still in Syria?

[dugong]

'Collection only' means 'I'll post it just for you', or something.

[cms206]

Nothings won anymore, its bought.

This is clearly bollocks, coming from the voice of experience.

[vulgalour]

Everyone is selling shite at £nearlynothing and now Dugong has gone and put his shrunkinwash V6 up for grabs too!  It's probably just as well I have to save up for a new PC right now otherwise I'd own an automatic Punto, a Buick Sable, a Volvo 440 and an MX-3.

 

 

 

Okay, maybe I lied about the Punto.

[Partridge]

Had to go through the torture of the BT helpline for my sisters internet troubles....

 

Having been there before I was not looking forward to it. Abridged version, as the full one would break the forum

 

Got no signal to PC -Where is your router? - next to PC - wheres your phone plug in socket situated - In the next room, PC is in her bedroom,- Ahh, perhaps your cable is too long and signal cant reach - WTF?

 

The fucking signal is whipped around the world bounced of satellites, travels fuck knows miles through cables, exchange boxes and it cant make the last 10 fucking feet! 

 

Cock fucking wombles the lot of em....Sending engineer out sometime in the next millennia , useless spunk trumpets

Class ! I will write those down !

[sheffcortinacentre]

they know the person they ask for doesn't exist, think its a case of ask for someone else & then you don't hang up on them, so then they've got you in conversation & then the spiel starts

 

ie hello can I speak to joe blogs?

sorry theres no joe blogs here?

well we were told to ring  joe blogs back about this great offer but if hes not there? ooooh would you be interested in it................

 

so you butt in & say yes it was his number but you can now get him on this one .............

[Asimo]

Anything and everything held together with plastic clips.

 

Rubbish "pattern" parts. Nearly is not good enough however cheap.

Imagine how useless a car made entirely of Brazilian / Chinese / Bulgarian knock-off parts would be.

[The Moog]

screw in the tyre of the pug... bugger.

re-torque the screw with a dab of silcunt sealant

[xtriple]

I are a twat!

 

It would appear that I am too dim to even fill an e-cig properly... been filling it through the wrong (tiny) hole so no wonder I wasn't getting much in it but it does explain why it was lasting sooooooo long!

 

Also, my beloved, bombproof, perfectly behaved little Phoebe (still hobbling around with her elbows out...) ran across a main road today! She saw another dog and flew across the road... thank God and all the Angels that there was nothing coming! Couldn't believe it, she never goes on a lead because she is so good and never, NEVER does things like that.

 

Also, typing this for the second time as doing so with the fat head of a Chester (basset) on your forearm results in hitting wrong keys and deleting everything!
