Add in hairdressers & barbers! Had my hair cut yesterday, I usually have a Morrisey style cut. I said to the bloke, do it like it is but 6 weeks ago. He did the sides short ok, but got to the top & asked how much do I want off? I said the same amount he'd taken off everywhere else (that makes sense doesent it?). He cut the top as short as the sides before I could stop him!

Hairdressers, estate agents... hmm. Include advertising executives, market research and telephone sanitizers and I think we might have a plan. Something about a global disaster and needing to evacuate should do it nicely.

Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy?

[MarvinsMom]

no no no no.....

 

i like getting my hair done so i cannot have them selected for the purge.

 

and yes, its the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy and the goglogfrincham's "B" Ark whose captain liked to luxuriate in the bath. and who's entire civilization wa wiped out by catching something from a dirty telephone.

 

i like doing that too!

[scaryoldcortina]

^ Indeed.

 

For the record, it's "A bunch of mindless jerks who'll be first against the wall when the revolution comes".

[MarvinsMom]

but all estate agents, lawyers etc. should be culled for the good of humanity.

Wasn't that the marketing arm of the sirian cybernetics corp.? Your plastic pall who's fun to be with!

[scaryoldcortina]

Not when debt collection agencies and insurance executives are walking around breathing.

 

Who am I kidding? If I killed everyone who annoyed me there wouldn't be anyone left.

[scaryoldcortina]

Wasn't that the marketing arm of the publishers of the guide?

No, the sirius cybernetics corporation marketing department. "Share and Enjoy!"

 

(edit - MM's "glorious revolution" bit caused the whole HHGTTG sideline. That and being Marvin's Mom.)

The toyota avensis advert ive seen twice an ad break on nick jr for hours.

Youve got your kids in the car, look at the fucking road you bearded cunt! Well done, your car is officially smarter than you... (selling auto brakes when your talking to your wife and dont see a bin lorry stopped infront of you with its fucking hazards on and calling them a good thing...)

As someone who cuts (often his own) hair, that does sound like you got what you asked for to be honest.

 

Usually, I cut a short back 'n' sides for people who usually have a number 1/2 all over and they always seem to like it.

Fucking Estate Agents - about as much use as a marzipan dildo, when I was selling my house - most of the time I had to show folk around myself, as said cockwombles were 'stuck in traffic'' ''held up'' blah blah fucking blah, cunts and wastrels of the highest order. Wankpots

[alf892]

This my own fault but still makes me grumpy with the world.........

 

I was stupid enough to leave my wallet on the roof of the Rover.........so obviously it fell off. I realised with 5 minutes so looped back and spent 20mins just searching.Gone.

 

Card provider rings about 10 mins later. Card registered on Amazon and something bought for a quid. Then they tried to buy something Louis designer for £1995......so they ring me.

 

So grump for own stupidly and the fact it fell in dodgey hands so fuggin quick.

 

Grin to Tesco bank for realising I would never spend that kind of money on something not car related

[gordonbennet]

^^^, the banks do seem to have out of the ordinary purchases in their sights, well done them.

 

The thieving low life scum who tried to use you card should have their testicles removed with a blow torch, i wouldn't have the foggiest idea how to register nor use someone else's card let alone the inclination, if those bastard actually did a creative job and put that cunning to work they'd make £millions legit.

[alf892]

I reckon I had a lucky escape......if they had gone for more normal stuff they could have got away with it.

 

Still......just going to have a few beers now and think of creative and painful ways to repay scum like this for their actions.........I'm sure some applied thought by the police could track some low life like this.

 

I quite understand why the police don't get involved.....after all what are they really going to charge them with.....and what would they get anyway.

 

Far better to chalk it up as another life lesson.........thing is I really like to think the best of people so shit like this is disappointing.

Fecking dremel type thing died today. Fuse swap. No joy. Bastarding thing, it's only about 6 years old. 

[Pillock]

Common trick, Mrs_P found a iTunes payment for £1.20 on her card but doesn't have an iTunes account so queried it. Seems that it's a standard way of working out whether a card is still "live" or not before banging through a big purchase with an actual delivery address - the initial payment will probably have been sent to a false address so it doesn't trace back if it failed.

 

Given the scum will want to collect their two grand booty at some point, it will have an actual delivery address so the police could investigate if they wanted. If.

My van (plus others) broken into in the Croydon Ikea car park on Tues night. Bag taken. Laptop, docs and secondary wallet gone. Cops say they were after power tools and it happens constantly to vans there and in Homebase.

 

3 days later a call from a plant nursery down the road. "We've found your bag in a hedge". Docs present and laptop working fine (after 3 days in the rain)  but backup wallet with driving licence and spare cards gone.

 

Driving licence took 5 minutes to renew online. They'll use the photo from my last passport, apparently. £20 fee. Discovered the paper counterpart in now redundant.

Do you get paid for this?

[beko1987]

Doing a car boot tomorrow, which isnt a grump, but the last one we did we took the xm and had a massive pitch, and loads of room.

 

The meriva is half loaded and you already cant see out the rear view w mirror... Stupid car, looks massive but theres fuck all actual space...

[wuvvum]

My right shoulder is fucked.  I have no idea what's wrong with it - it started playing up a few months back, it's been getting steadily worse and now seems to be semi-seized, with any attempt to make any kind of unusual movement causing me fucking agony.  It's at the stage at the moment that I would struggle to drive a car without PAS (apart from the Innocenti which weighs barely more than I do).  I'm going to have to go against everything I stand for and go and see a quack, as it's starting to get properly debilitating.

[Tetleysmooth]

I'm currently having the night from hell. Was given three stores tonight. Shoreditch, Covent Garden and Waterloo Road. Just spent three effing hours at Shoreditch cause they had no room for the stock. Missed the 22.00 curfew at Covent Garden so it's going back to the depot along with Waterloo. Currently on break in Shoreditch. Oh, and the truck's playing up too. Keep getting 'clutch failed' coming up on my dashboard and the truck drops into neutral. Not good in Central London. Poxy night.

[wuvvum]

Is the truck an Iveco, perchance?

[Lord Sterling]

Do you get paid for this?

No, but I do always get offered money/a drink etc... so I don't not get 'paid'. It's just usually for (a very small number of) mates, I'd be lucky to cut 2 peoples hair a year.

[Tetleysmooth]

Is the truck an Iveco, perchance?

 

Nope. Merc Axxor.

I'm home now, thank the good lord.

Failed a few times during the run back to Thurrock, but managed to coax it back in manual shift mode.

Dumped it over the workshop.

[purplebargeken]

Next door has two wives, he alternates between them.

 

This morning at 06.30hrs he is merrily banging on the front door of wife no2, calling her name, etc. 

 

She obviously has the hump over something and is not letting him in. He has woken myself and Mrs. PBK up. I look out the window and see that her windows are wide open and she can obviously hear dickhead shouting.

 

After 20 minutes of this stupid fucking shite I bang on the wall and shout open the bloody door and let him in you assholes.

 

Silence reigns. Shame we are now wide awake. Cats think that the day has started and are now clamoring for food and to be let out.

 

Hello Sunday fucking morning.

 

I

 

hate

 

London

[HH-R]

I hate living here too, used to like it until bloke upstairs moved in. He woke me up last night (who takes their dogs for a walk after midnight?) and has woken me up this morning doing the same. I don't know how someone can make so much noise walking down some stairs. His kids are incapable of doing it without hitting the metal banister as hard as they can too.
