The grumpy thread

Jesus wept!!! Trapped my finger in the car door!!!

 

 

That's blood coming out of my finger nail! Agony!

[Negative Creep]

Ouch!

Lets be honest, we're in a minority of a minority. What we want and expect from mainstream TV as far as our hobby goes is pie in the sky.

There simple isn't the market for it... anyway, there is plenty of that kind of thing on youtube though it you know where to look.

Or we get shiteTV off the ground properly...

[jakebullet]

Ow, bet that smarts a bit!

[Timewaster]

WD is just a silly light entertainment TV show not an instructional video.

For real, proper sensible advice you should refer to your Haynes manual.

 

 

oh, wait.....

MoT computer was broken again today.

 

Not a problem to me, but the amount of OMG and WTF I've had to endure from every other tester in the area is starting to seriously get on my wick. How hard can it be to fill in test paperwork by hand, and keep a record of tests done to input onto the system when it does wake up again? FFS that's how it worked before the computer, I swear they've all forgotten how to write as well.

[xtriple]

I can't watch WD as I absolutely cannot stand Mike Brewer. He is so fake he makes my arse itch.

When you have got 10+ shitters booked in a day plus retests I would imagine it gets a bit stressful .

All takes extra time plus putting it all back on the system when it comes back online means late evenings .

[scaryoldcortina]

Yeah, or a bunch of lazy buggers refuse to test at all and blame "the system".

Im sure I will be one of those unlucky bastards who gets alzheimers in their 40`s. Assuming I havent had a heart attack before then.

 

Was a little sleepy and thinking "must be time for bed" but it was still daylight....only 7pm. Turns out I came home for lunch and forgot to go back to work this afternoon.

Jesus.

[Pillock]

That's just the French way, isn't it?

[michael1703]

That's brilliant, you sound like me, I did that when I lived close to work

Horseshit. What is it with the owners of these giant pets that they let them crap in the road and leave it there. Do they think the rest of us dont mind?

 

Well I do.

 

Out on my bicycle at weekend,and after commiting to a tight right downhill turn on one of the back roads round here the bike dissapears from under me and the road duffs me up..because the whole left hand side of the exit to the bend was plastered in shit, and so was I.

 

Horse riders...should we individually trip you up and butter you in shite to make the message sink in?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

get over it

[richardmorris]

Good for the roses!

[HH-R]

I don't mind Wheeler Dealers TBH, it's nice to see old motors being fixed instead of smashed up by troglodytes or hearing LOL BL SHIT HAHA jokes over and over. It has changed a bit over the years. The later ones are better than the earlier series I reckon, where they were more bodgey and had some WTF moments (like the Suzuki that was scened up and then too rusty to use - LOL). I even found the episode like the Audi TT one interesting. Whereas normally I would have abolutely zero interest in them, and wouldn't touch one with a borked gearbox with someone else's, it was nice to see that the risk paid off for them with a failrly easy fix.

[TimothyClaypole]

Woke up Saturday, can't see out 100% of my left eye, ffs.

 

Hospital today, got to go back next week. 

[Bone]

get over it

Bollox.

 

Bruised & cuts with shite in them. Get over it my arse.

 

They should be made to pick it up. Whats wrong with a small rucksack & shovel.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Whats wrong with watching where you're going? Could just have easily been a lump of rock or whatever.

[Station]

I lost control on a corner when I ran through horse poo (in a car obviously).

[cobblers]

I trod a load of dogshit round the spare bedroom earlier, luckily I wasn't riding my bike round there but I did spend half an hour scrubbing the carpet to get it all out.

 

Actually I would probably rather have slipped over on the bike.

[Lankytim]

I think horses should be forced to wear one of those plastic kids garden slides on their arses to any shite is harmlessly directed into the gutter.

The alternative is to have them dismount, scoop it up, dispose of it in some mythical horsepoo bin and then ride on. Don't like the idea of meeting a stationary riderless horse on the road really.

You should always be prepared to stop for a hazard in the road, including a massive pile of dung.

[cobblers]

On the subject of horses on the road. Ignoring the shit.

 

Say I'm riding on the back of a FLIPPING ANIMAL on the road for no reason other than my own pleasure.
I could be 100% safe by just not getting on the back of animal but there's no fun in that, I understand we all have to take risks.

I could be 99.5% safe by just riding the animal around the woods or a field or something, but that's not good enough.

I would rather take this animal out on the roads where there are cars doing 60mph+ and then put my safety in the hands of car drivers who are actually going places for a reason, and then get very upset when they don't slow down to walking pace when they pass me.

I've got a pushbike that I enjoy riding, and a dog I enjoy walking. The dog is terrified of cars, so I walk him in the woods. I don't want to impede car drivers, or get run over, so I ride my pushbike in the woods too.

 

I don't get on my bike, don a "POLITE" hivis and string the dog off the side of my handlebars and go for a trot down the A614 and practically stop rush hour traffic like some tosspots did the other day.

[cort16]

I can't stand horses. They're like big angry dogs but with hidden agendas. Oh I'll eat these sugar lumps but when you're least expecting it I'm going throw you into a ditch or boot you right up the hole.

I supposed I'd be angry if people nailed my trainers to my feet too.

 

I heard a thing on the radio about a guy who had a bull that was soft as shite but huge. He used it for film and TV work (it's a long story) and when it died he had it cloned. The bull was identical to the original bull with the one exception of it was a total arsehole.

It gored him once and he recovered. He said it's okay he;s just young he'll learn. It then gored him again when the radio folk where there and it ripped him right up the arsed, through his ball sack splitting that wide open an up through his groin giving him about 100 stitches in that area. He still didn't put it down. What are you waiting for it to blow up a fucking hospital or something.

Cheeseburgers.

Reminded me of when me and my mate were kids and went everywhere on our bikes.

One day we were out, racing each other down a cycle way on a downhill slope on a bend. I decided to cheat to get ahead of my mate and cut the corner by going across the grass verge...

...oh yes! I got ahead alright but hit a humongous pile of dog shit, at high speed!

 

It was fucking disgusting! I was going so fast I couldn't stop quickly. The shit exploded, peppering me and my bike with shit. It was literally everywhere. When I eventually stopped the smell was utterly vile.

My mate was pissing himself laughing. He saw it happen from behind and apparently the turd just exploded on impact and bits of it were flying off everywhere!

 

I was furious at the time and had to go home and take a wash in bleach to get rid of the stench. Then wash the bike too. It's funny now though! Easily the most revolting thing that's ever happened to me!

[Station]

I love horses, they're pretty 'majestic' I understand why people like them.

Apes and monkeys on the other hand are horrid, I absolutely hate primates.

[purplebargeken]

Talking of Polite hi-viz stuff. I was at North Mid Hospital the other day having blood tests and a chest X ray. I came out of the main reception to be confronted by what I thought was a bicycle copper. 

 

I did a double take and realised it was a bloke with a black and white cycle helmet - just like the local bike cops, he wore a hiviz just like the local bike cops but had POLITE emblazoned on the back.

 

Not sure if he was sensible for making other road users take notice or if he was a sad wannabe cycle cop making other road users take notice. The jury is out on that one. 

 

Never ridden a bike through horse shit. Can't say I really want to. Not much chance in Edmonton as all of the illegals would likely nick it and scoff it like they did to a swan locally.
