The grumpy thread

Applauding. For ages. WTF is the point!! It's what I hate about going to see classical music as you seem to be expected to applaud at only the correct moments - even though as an uninitiated commoner, you might not know when 'correct' is and then you must clap like a deranged chimp for at least five fugging minutes, getting louder if someone walks about a bit or bows. I mean, I'm very grateful to their skill and I probably enjoyed it, but surely a few loud claps is enough?!I also get thoroughly fucked off by people who leap in with their applause at the end of a really good piece of music. These twats clearly don't enjoy that silence where you sit and go "yeah, that really was good." To me, the silence after a crescendo is just as good as the performance. At least the woman presenting The Proms tonight is like well fit innit. (but there's a singer now, so I may turn it off...)

Great start to the day, went to bed about the 12.30 am, got woken at 3.45 by a car horn going off, look at my curtains to see a orange glow coming through, looking out the window i see my neighbours P reg Punto engulfed in a ball of flames.

After a flappy 999 call i run outside to get the neighbour up and try moving my cars of the drive, got the wifes puma moved, then couldn't start the 02 as i forgot the choke, forgetting that the punto could blow up any second, and a copper tellin to get round the back. Whoops.

All clean up now, they also done a P reg Clio about 10 houses up at the same time.

Now got no phone line or broadband as the burned the wires, neighbours fence and hedge is also gone as well.

And now i've got a 12 hour day shift to do.

Well today i got my phone line and internet back after BT put up a new pole this morning, They have also collected the car today although no-ones been yet to clear all the mess that's been left behind.

 

Still getting over the shock of it all TBH, never experienced anything like that before, The hedge on the other side of my drive even got all burned as well, Amazing my BMW never caught alight, it go really hot.

 

Even made it into the local paper as nothing like that happens here normally as it's a quiet service road, Bet they won't catch the little fuckers that done it neither.

 

Here's the remains of next doors car, The Cilo wasn't quite so bad although the girl is upset as she has a £500 excess and the car isn't worth that.

It's a Punto, it probably self ignited.Today I'm disliking the bloke who hasn't got back to me about a REALLY shit looking old Starlet with a welded on bodykit, some geezer who won't sell his Subaru 4x4 sort of mini mini bus type thing and the fact my missus took MY £85.00 from four numbers on last night's lottery and spunked it on pointless shit like paying the rent when she knew I wanted it to spend on sensible things like lager and vodka on Saturday night.

When I worked in a car spares place I would quite often be called upon to look at / diagnose / repair the awful job some chav had made of fitting a stereo, amp, bass tubes etc.How and why the streets aren't littered with burnt out clios and saxos is beyond me. Power cables as thick as your thumb dangling all over the engine bay, a fuse if you were lucky, usually at the far end away from the battery, no grommets, stripped back 2 inches and badly fixed to an amp which isn't even screwed down.Idiots. Don't miss that job 1 bit!

Mozilla Firefox doesn't seem to work with YouTube at the moment. Pain in the arse, as I have to switch to the (much slower) IE8 if I want to watch some old car ads. Grr.

Hmm, it's fine for me :? (edit: running on Ubuntu Linux)

 

 

Mmm...

 

Oh, by the way that burnt out Punto must smell AWFUL. I walked past a burnt out Citroen BX near Guildford Cathedral once and it stank to high heaven of acrid burnt rubber.

 

Mark.

Funny enough i was just talking about that with my neighbour, Really stinks of burned petrol and rubber, Looking forwards to a downpour to wash it all way!.

I would of agreed if the car at the end of the road hadn't been attacked as well.

If it's a downpour you want, I think it's on its way... (been raining here for HOURS!)

BMW X5 drivers. We already know you are a cunt, your choice of car tells us that much. But is there a bit in the owners manual that tells you that you must at all times drive in a manner that reinforces that impression on everyone else or is it that you do so to compensate for your tiny penis?Evidence - man in X5 at M6 end of M58 at 7am this morning. I'm overtaking a fucking truck. Actually, no a couple of trucks, I'm doing about 80 and still accelerating. Do you really need to sit ONE FUCKING METRE from by back bumper to try and force me out of the way. Where do you think I'm going to go, under the truck? I'll move and let you pass me as soon as I get past the trucks so fuck off. Trying to intimidate me into moving over just because you have a overly large knob subsitute for a car to show how important you are to everyone else won't change matters. Go and choke on your dads cock you idiot.Hope you die of bad aids.See also: Audi Q7.

I find a tap of the brake lights usually works wonders under such circumstances, or merely slow down. This works especially well if you're in a 'really shit car' like a 2CV, which clearly should not be allowed in the fast lane of a motorway under any circumstances according to most people...

+1BMW X5, Audi Q7 and Range Rover Sport (H)SE drivers are all cock jockeys of the highest order. And women drive these monsters as well!I used to be really "intimidated" when I drove my K10 Micra on the motorway. The GSA and BX seem to attract cocks as well. Or anything small really, e.g. my girlfriend's Honda Jazz. Mark.

I delight in the slightly suicidal approach, so you can stuff 'might is right' up your arse Mr X5. Recently, I forced a Range Rover to swerve up a verge because he was trying to get me to do same in my little car. Piss off. You're in the off-roader, get off the road!Amazingly, I haven't died yet...

From time to time I get the pleasure of driving a 7.5t truck. X5 / Q7 etc drivers still try and cut you up, barge their way in and all that, it gets far more amusing when they realise that you won't give in to their bullying tactics. :twisted:

That must be really enjoyable! After all you're bigger than them, so according to their rules, you can treat them like shit with impunity. :)

Small car and air horns FTW! The look on their faces is priceless.

Strangely enough, I don't get pressured at all when I drive the Galant on the motorway. I think it's the slightly stoved-in back.

Driving what a lot of people would call a "shit car" seems to make a lot of people think they need to drive like retards. Much like the woman who obviously didn't want to be overtaken by me in my girlfriends Panda on the M62 yesterday, we get alongside the bitch and she accelerates to keep in front, stupid tart.

This is really really annoying - going down a narrow lane and the twat in the 4WD doesn't want to get his alloys dirty. Definitely make them move over - he can get out of the mud/through the pothole, I might not be able to :x

Don't try it with mine then, mine runs in 2WD on the road, with the front hubs disengaged.......I get in the gloop and you're helping me push it out pal!Here's one for you. Typical suburban roads, someone decides that instead of using their drive, they park on the road, forcing cars to go onto the other side to get past.....Cue something coming in the other direction, and the car with the obstruction on their side is coming over, regardless of the fact it's on their side, so the right of way is not theirs....still they come....It's amazing just how close they let things get before they realise two cars aint squeezing into a gap like that. I mean, if you can't get past before the other vehicles reaches your hazard, are you not supposed to wait until the road ahead is clear before pulling out? Maybe it's just me....

Reasons like the above are why I wish I had a Slicer:

Just flip them over! Easy.

Happened to me this morning, tosser in a Volvo just drove straight at me on my side of the road. had i not had my daughter in the car I would have let him hit me.

Don't worry - I always give Series Landies plenty of room. I'm never sure they're able to stop... :P To be honest, older stuff isn't the issue. It's Range Rover sports, X5s and the like. Sometimes I force 'em over, sometimes I just stick two wheels on the verge myself and don't bother slowing down. 2CVs are ace.

^^^Yeah series Landies are ok, also they don't tend to be as wide as fashion 4x4s, so they don't need as much room too.

Just returned from a wee shopping trip (no, I was not purchasing urine) and used a well known "rat-run" in Doncaster. I know it is possible for 2 buses to pass on this road, but coming the other direction, was a line of possibly three or four cars, with a builder's truck behind. I drive with my lights on during the day, just in case of a claim...............the last car in the line, was an Audi A4, blacked out windows, stereo on loud, and driver on the phone, rummaging for something aswell......I kept my course, and kept my cool also.....this road has cars parked both sides, owners diligently folding mirrors as they leave their cars parked. Well this Audi driver still hadn't seen me with only about 20 feet to go....and I was about to cover the brakes (and my ears) then he saw me. The look on his face was a picture as he stamped on his brakes and wrenched his wheel to the left and squoze over into a "gap" that wasn't there before, As I approached the point where the truck was waiting, I slowed, and waved.....truck driver shouts "That woke the wanker up!" as I drove off..................tidy result!
