The grumpy thread

[fred]

Drop in the ocean of bad shit in the world, but I have just seen that big twat with the curly mustache opera singer wankblot back advertising a bloody insurance advert again

FUCK OFF!! Get that fucking twat of a Dentist to shoot him with a bow and arrow and then shoot the fecker, may gain a bit of respect back

[HH-R]

@Beko, is that an ASDA wiper perchance? I had one that looked the same from there and it did the exact same thing. I was tempted to be tight and leave it boomerang shaped but reattached to the wiper arm but noticed the wiper arm was too close to gouging the glass for comfort.

What I don't get is he released a statement apologising because he didn't realise it was Cecil. So basically if it was any other Lion he wouldn't care!

The saddest part was he was described as 'never bothered anyone'. Just a lion that did no harm to anyone and then got hunted from the back of a Hilux, slaughtered, skinned, his head removed. And then the rival alpha male will kill his eight Cubs to get a mate.

I'm guessing this is the Malaysian plane? Unless flaps just fall off planes at random.

[purplebargeken]

Sad for the lion but I really have the urge to use rusty pliers on a tooth removal fest at the moment, may as well be him. Until I think of someone more deserving.

 

Nursing - the caring profession.

Why? 

 

Happily cycling along on a main road, keeping a decent speed, not wobbling around or holding anyone up - so why do certain individuals feel the need to hurl verbal abuse at me? I mean WTF? Luckily I can shout louder than them and swear more creatively and quickly too.

creative swearing is an art, we need more of it. I bet they don't even teach it in schools anymore. Teachers, eh? A bunch of lazy zip-sniffing piss garglers

[purplebargeken]

Ben's a teacher.

 

* He teaches the little children and is not allowed to swear at them. Ben is home taught in the valuable and mystical art of very creative swearing. Just helping him get the volume up to a suitable level.

[HH-R]

Dogs a few doors up have barked their lungs out for the past 2 hours +, making sure I've been woken up for the 500th time since their owner moved in. Of course now that I'm well and truly awake they'll probably not make a peep all day.

 

I fucking hate dogs, all my life I've had some selfish fucker with two of them barking their lungs out day and night next door.

[purplebargeken]

Not troubled by dogs here but am hassled by screaming children/ screeching parents which have a similar effect. 

[chaseracer]

Ben's a teacher.

 

I used to be one, but once Creative Swearing was made a BTEC option only I thought

 

BASTARD FUCK IT WITH A SHITTY STICK UP ITS OWN BOLLOCKING ARSE!!!

 

and moved into IT.  Proper creative swearing there... 

[fordperv]

I'm not defending hunting (I couldn't care either way, to be honest) but the faux-outrage shown by people who didn't even know that lion existed irks me.

 

Not a dig at anyone on here, more at the massive media storm that's doing the rounds. As others have indicated, shame that rape, murder, theft, child abuse etc etc don't generate such an outcry.

I have no bother with hunting for food, what does upset me is the people who hunt big game like lions, elephants, leopards etc which are in demise for sick pleasure, with most people i don't think it's the fact of this one lion I think it's more the trophy killing as a whole. Don't get me started on the other crimes you've listed I'll be writing all day

No, not an asda one, a mate got given 2 by a colleague, their from a Meriva apparently. It's possible that their slightly too big for the car, and it's been flexing or straining for a while then finally went. They do have a brand on, I'll have a look later.

 

Have another one in the shed though, so will try and get 3 months out of that, then buy more from ebay!

[Coprolalia]

Trying to get the timing sorted for the Scirocco. Currently using a cheap GSF chinese pattern job that fails to proceed at whim.

 

Bosch ones from VW = £250+. Fuck right off.

I had this the other week with a black cab full of Chester race going wankers. The traffic was rammed going into town and as I cycled gently by one of the gobshites shouted 'get a fucking car'

 

Still on the grumpy but and still on the nags, the race course are clamping down on trouble related incidents by banning people bring their own ale into the grounds. Given that 102.9% of the trouble associated with the place is caused later at night from the usual shiny suited wankers, one can't help drawing the conclusion that it's sod all to do with families in cars with a bottle of wine, but the loss of revenue.

Cecil "never bothered anyone"?  Well I saw an expose on the Zebra channel that claimed he was a bully who had starred in several snuff movies.  But those wildlife parks are absolutely barbaric. Why don't they build fences to keep the species apart and end the bloodshed?  And is it safe to have a dentist in America who likes beheading dumb animals? 

 

(Small print - The guy is a prat but lions aren't on the WWF endangered list. Cecil was 13 so at the end of his life. Trophy hunting can benefit conservation, but probably didn't this time. I'm allergic to cats, so biased.)

Re: person harrasssing me over Scirocco bumper.

It went for £1.20. He has attempted to ring me 13 times. I swear someone on here is having jokes with me. But if not...

 

I stated on the auction 'Collection Only'. Bidder wins auction. Winner assumes 'collection only' means, collection by a courier. Winner seems to think I'm going to stay in all day, somehow print a courier label out on a printer I don't even have, and package it appropriately. If I wanted to do that, I'd put 'I can courier'. All this for £1.20. I knew I should've chucked it in the fucking River Mersey.

[purplebargeken]

Knowing the Mersey it'd bounce back and kill you.

 

Just tell him to FRO.

[purplebargeken]

Cecil. Was he a relative of Clarence? 

[nebuchenezer]

So,

 

Operation stack is in full force due to the actions of a certain group or groups of people in France. What does this mean? The M20 and all roads around are pretty fucked at the moment. 

 

But I commute by train......except, as a result of this weeks earlier cow train interface my train journey stops at Ashford (on the closed bit of the M20) and continues to Canterbury by bus which, of course is affected by the traffic hence my evening commute has been hellishly long for the last 3 days.

 

All of that I can put up with utilising my British inner stoicism.

 

But last night, on the bus, I had the  the utter pleasure of spending an hour and a half in the company of a bruderhof family - 7 of them, 6 kids and a baby dropper mother sat all around me looking like extras from a 16th century peasant convention and babbling shouting to each other in a completely uninteligable combination of bastardised dutch/german/english/fanagalo etc.

 

I have been awake for 15 hours now please just STFU 

[oldcars]

Well its been a pants day zx wise...

 

On the way home from work, on the m40, I go to idly flick a few drops of rain off...

 

IMAG1793.jpg

 

 

Ah, thats amusing. Wasnt raining, so carried on to the next junction and pulled over. Its snapped half the clip off on one side. Meh, got another one in the shed, I put the blade in the car and carry on. 3 miles down the road, it starts proper raining. Ffs. Almost blind, I pull into a layby, pinch the rear wiper blade and fit it to the front. Its comically small, but I can get home. Rear wiper decided it dod t want to work again the kther day, only now I can hear the motor turning but not the blade.

 

Anyhoo, get a message that a dyson I sold last week is making an odd noise. I get a new clutch and some tools ready, and head on out to fix it. Get in the car, turn it on, bangbangbangbangbang wtf...

 

The exhaust t has been getting blowier recently, I pop me head under...

 

IMAG1794.jpg

 

Cunt, its finally failed. Must have gone when I parked up, thank fuck it didnt go on the way home... Shitz what do I do now. I messaged the person saying I may be delayed or not there at all, and raid the shed. Some garden wire and dyson cable later...

 

IMAG1795.jpg

 

Reinforced up the centre section to take the weight off the end

 

IMAG1796.jpg

 

Still blows, but it didnt catch fire on the 36 mile round trip ive just done. Tbh, I checked it several times and the cable hasnt even started to melt so it must not get thst hot.

 

Ruffgeezer, please tell me how you want paying, the backbox has a tad more urgency now... Will get a centre section ordered tomorrow...

 

The rear beam is a structual part of the exhaust for the time being. Wont cause any issues will it? Not going to cane it anywhere until its fixed...

You can't get better than a Beko fitter. he's the one to trust

[scaryoldcortina]

Two grumps today -

 

First, I hate when customers of mine do stupid random stuff without even bothering to check with me. So you put your 55 plate citroen C3 in PART EXCHANGE (ffs) against a 51 plate 306 with a million dents and a kenked back axle because "someone" said the HG might have failed? WELL FUCKING DONE YOU MORON.

 

Second, TV licencing, the garage doesn't have a TV licence for a bloody good reason. Stop sending pointless threats. My defence in court would be "what television?"

 

OK, the first one annoyed me more. I hate changing pug axles, and I bet there is more wrong with it than just that. Short MoT as well *JOY*

[Alan_Green]

Should be called Operation Stuck.

Had this the other week. Me and my GF were walking along minding our own business when a dirty Toyota Avensis stops dead on a main road and some pikey looking blokes are trying to get our attention (completely not interested in all the traffic lined up behind them) so we just ignored them. Couldn't make out a word they were saying but two stocky workmen looking types, slicked hair and wearing vests.

Fair point, and I'm the first to say that the mainstream media are a shower of irrelevant shits.  

 

But I think rape, murder, theft, child abuse etc would generate plenty of outcry if some cunt repeatedly posted photos of himself on Facebook grinning proudly over his beheaded victims, and got away scot free to carry on being smug, ignorant and rich.

I get them at work, they're always selling nielsen tools out of brand new double cab pickups.

 

This guy had 1mm cutting discs and flap discs.

I pay about 87p for decent discs so I felt a barter session coming on, I got him down to 40p a disc and then got a load of flap discs thrown in and got the lot for £40, I then broke the bombshell I didn't have any cash, so he took a cheque

[richardmorris]

Did he give you a receipt?

[twosmoke300]

Chequerplate, why?

I'm guessing that is aimed at landrovers with half an acre of the tacky , cover up all the shit , Dakar wannabe shit screwed in place with secondhand odd woodscrews !

Why indeed
