The grumpy thread

[hairnet]

Been working on the 760 since 3.30pm with as yet no progress. As I am a ham fisted idiot this is rarely a bad thing, but it's now not registering any fuel on the gauge due to my fucking about trying to make it run properly.

 

"Asda is less than half a mile away, I'll go get pez."

 

No bank card, no cash and I live at the other side of the next major town.

 

Walking home...

 

and you work for a bus co wheres the travel fae free card

Paul Hollywood's Bread?

 

If the programme was titled Paul Hollywood's Dead I would be much happier.

Wummin . I've had a day out in Edinburgh planned today for weeks. Made arrangements to meet up with old friends . My mrs has the cold and is a bit under the weather . As I was leaving she said 'I can't believe you're abandoning me with cort jr'.

 

This is my 2nd day or night out in a year. I don't even get a night out for my 40th. So can either cancel and feel guilty for the cancelled plans or go out and feel guilty. Cheers

[D Spares & Tyres]

Just go out

 

Mine is like that.

 

You will never win so may as just please yourself a little

option 2 defo, after a couple of drinks the guilt will evaporate (specially if you switch your mobile off for a bit)

[Parky]

Had that back In 1996. Won VIP pit pass tickets to the British Grand Prix with the Daily Mail. As you can imagine I was very excited to be a guest of the Williams GP team.

 

GF at the time got a migraine that day, her parents were away for the weekend and no-one could look after her and I ended up getting guilted into missing a brilliant day out to look after her. Amazingly she recovered enough by 3pm to tell me "oh you probably could have gone after all".

 

Fucksticks. Things we do for love eh? She fucked off with a mate of mine and most of my money and possessions two years later. Probably for the best......

Or keep your mobile on, take loads of selfies to send her, showing you having a lovely time; you'll go home to the silent treatment get a good night's sleep and then in the morning you can wake up with a "cold" so you can then say "You've given me your cold now, you miserable bitch" she'll be so upset to think she has made you ill that you'll have no problems at all.

Got 2x Bini wheels back from the refurb place Old Man chose and took them to.

 

They've ground back the kerbed bits, then skimmed them over with filler, and smoothed it off, without actually matching it to the lip of the wheel, there's just a flat spot on the lip and a fucking gouge that's been painted over.

The paint is generic silver that doesn't match, is flat, and hasn't been lacquered, and isn't even smooth, as if they didn't bother cleaning the wheel first or something.

 

It's a shit job and we're all seriously pissed about it, but what can you do?

[sporty-shite]

Mrs S has got a Parking E*e notice this morning, because she parked on Aldi whilst she went out with her mates. Amazingly, she's got the arse with me, because I'm not happy about it.

 

I know it can be appealed and POPLA'd and the like, but guess who'll end up doing that.

 

Fucking stupid bint.

[chaseracer]

Ghosty: a good start would be to take them back, complain loudly and invite them to do it again - properly.

[Ghosty]

I agree, personally. Unfortunately Old Man doesn't agree, I asked him his opinion, and his reply was that 'there's five of them and one of me', followed by a racist remark, seems he has no faith in them doing a good job and that them being 'Pakis' has something to do with this.

The recent CoA ruling has put a major spanner in the works of appealing these so good luck!

Burn the place down. Find the owners home address, tie him up, bum his kids to death in front of him then kill him so his last vision on earth is his kids being defiled.

 

 

Thats what the internet usually suggests.

 

Your option is to either forget about it and get them done elsewhere or go back and have a word with them and see what they say.

[fordperv]

I'd also say pop back with the wheels and explain that your not happy with the work they have done, the worst they can do is tell you to bugger off

Just take them back, I've found, ahem, 'Pakis' to be more reasonable than knuckle dragging white garage folk, there's loads of garages in Leamington Spa owned by Pakistanis/Indians/Sikhs or whatever and they're all sound.

Dead easy. 

 

"Dear Dad, 

 

Fucking well sort it out yourself. I can't be arsed. 

 

Sincerely,

[jakebullet]

My lug hole is going wheee! and it's very annoying. Could be slightly* related to having drilled 500 dice valve caps today.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

^^^^ Too true!!! Tell your old man to stop moaning/being a racist dick and just take 'em back if its that shit a job.

[cort16]

I'm wankered. time to go and get my head stuck in the counci fence.

[Bren]

Got £500 for the fiesta. Forty odd watchers and 1 bid.

 

I fucking hate ebay.

Why did he go there in the first place if he doesn't like 'pakis'?

 

The only way to get your alloys properly refurbished is the 'full immersion' method, anyway.

Some ones blatant disregard for other peoples property

I have spent part of the morning repairing the damage to my X-trails rear bumper that some cunt has hit then fucked off.

The bumper has been hit on the corner causing a large scuff and lots of little cracks.Due to the height of the damage i think it has been another 4x4,a van or a mpv.

I think by the height and angle of the damage someone has been parked next to it,reversed out of the parking bay,turned right hit my car and just drove off.

So to who ever thanks and fuck you..

[fordperv]

^ this boils my pee, i usually find it happens more on supermarket carparks, where has human decency gone, I'm sure it's only in a handful of people now and most of them are probably on here, i once bumped into a car on a carpark, I hit the front bumper of a mk3 astra as I was pulling into a parking space, it was very slow speed as my foot slipped off the brake when I was edging forward, the grill popped off but caused no damage, i hung around for the owner to come out so I could put the grill back on and explain I'd bumped into it, the owner who was an older fella was well chuffed at the honesty

[Ghosty]

I told Old Man to take the wheels back if he's that annoyed, he just replied with some sighing, what's the point etc. 

Mother Ghosty backed him up, saying he probably felt intimidated or something, besides we'd paid and taken them so it was too late.

I just don't get some people.

 

I'd go down there myself but I don't have a car.

[MrDuke]

Drains have backed up for the second time in 6 months. I've just been making an utterly futile attempt to clear them with rods, but only succeeded in dumping several pounds of sludge over the garden, and nearly falling into the septic tank twice (which was quite funny, in fairness). I'll have to phone the landlord tomorrow, and I know his first response will be to accuse us of blocking it, presumably by flushing plasticine and chip-fat down the bog

 

Am I right in thinking that main waste pipes should have access points above junctions, and that you should be able to get rods into every piece of drain? I cannot get into the main house-to-tank pipe for some reason, and neither could the chap from Dynorod who came out last time. I'm sorely tempted to get someone from Environmental Health round and ask for their advice.
