The grumpy thread

My dad gets bogof tickets due to him being disabled or something, makes seeing our gigs easier. Plus he turns up the disability card and sweet talks the manager of the venue by email so we can get in earlier and sat down before the crowds, and we generally run* (i go in front and the old man hangs on for dear life) as soon as the final bow is made...

 

He accidentally got us 2 nights of dream theater this way, bought tickets in Manchester just, but then 2 days later messaged me, he'd asked the Astoria if they had disabled seating and they emailed him back offering bogof... So we have to see them twice on the images and words 25th tour. What a damn shame... I'd drive us to Manchester but his blue badge does come in handy on these occasions

The fucking toilet is leaking again. So here's to another lost weekend spent tearing the Bastard thing out because some swamp dwelling Web footed cunt fitted a faulty bog in the first place.

 

Whoever did the plumbing on this place wants a bathroom suite smacking up his cock hole with a sparkly poundstretcher bog brush. He is a nugget of the purest cunt with a cuntwit coating.

 

I really want to start sorting the garage so I can bring the Datsun home, but instead it languishes whilst I drown in DIYTHEFUCKDOIBOTHER.

 

AÅ•rrrrrrrgh.

All modernz etc

 

How tricky do you think it would be to change the front sidelight bulb on my Disco?
 
1. Remove grill
2. Release sliders and remove entire headlamp
3. Remove 5 set screws retaining plastic bracket 
4. Remove bung and finally get to tiny 4watt bulb
 
5. Put it all back together
6. Discard broken off brittle plastic bits
 
Bastards
 
Actually possibly the biggest surprise was the entire process being detailed in the handbook alongside the procedure for changing the HID burners - which actually takes less time as you don't need to remove the bracket.  I expected it to say "get your dealer/butler to do this". 

 

Sounds about right.

2005 Landcruiser, officially the front sidelights are dealer change, in practice if you remove the batteries, yes same place both sides just behind each headlight, you can just slide you hand down and reach the bulb holders.

I did a side light bulb on one of these on Friday and admittedly I have a ramp but could get to the sidelight holder from underneath. A right pain in the arse really.

This one was an 03 standard landcrusier I think it was a 3.0. I know it was a diesel and not the 4.2 with standard 501 bulbs and it was the n/s one. You have to get your arm up between the inner wing liner and the bumper. A bit of a sod even with a ramp but easier than pulling the batteries out

I know it's question said a thousand times but why are some people wankers?

 

Mother and father in laws 50th wedding anniversary yesterday. Farther in law died a few years ago but Mrs Shrimps mum still wanted to go out so today she arranged for us (2 daughters, husbands and children only 7 in total) to go for tea.

Brother in law decides, in his own words, he's got "important stuff to do in the garden".....

 

What a twat! Mrs Shrimp is proper upset he was a good friend to her dad and now it's like a giant fuck you. His daughter (11) was a twat too, never off her phone even after being told.

Don't brainwash people into worrying about a day of the year or into having a negative outlook before they've even lived through that particular day.

 

I've just been out playing football in the garden with the dog, the weather is 2deg, which is good,bright sunrise etc

That's another 'buyer' who won't be back :-D  He's turned up, pestered the life out of me about a very very rusty 1970's Falcon Banana bicycle and kept telling me how much bits were going to cost (if he could get them at all) and the restoration of this, that and the other that it needed. He tried so many times to pull the wool over my eyes and chip me down I just shut my garage, parked the van across it and drove off in my car. The bike is £35.

 

It's not even much of a grump because it made me laugh, why do people even do that, he must have made a 60 mile round trip for nothing?

Been a busy litle camper the last few days but had a bit of time in actual daylight to have a butchers hook at the dollop and its new vents. Impressed with the work, very good indeed and paint match is identical which bodes well for further wallet rapeage when needed.... But, noticed that there are tiny bits of alloy corrosion starting on the drivers side doors... again! I do mean tiny though,  like a MM size bleb which having noticed the first, I had to inspect with my Sherlock Holmes sized magnifying glass all along the tops of the doors.

 

Only three, all on the drivers side and progressively smaller. So, aided by my trusty sight improver, I removed the rubber seals (Eek! What a job and totally unavailable multi lipped bastards) and there was the answer: when John (the horrible steroid abusing body building painter) did the work on the doors, he scratched the new paint in three places putting these seals back on. Bare alloy corrodes just like steel, who'd have thought it?

 

I forced some Waxoyl in there and the put a load of polish (not polished off) on as well, anyone reckon that will halt it? I shall not be taking those seals off again as getting them back on (without doing it correctly which involves stripping the doors completely and then drilling out the rivets that hold the chrome strip that the seal goes into) was a nightmare of curse word inducing effort. The small child that was passing at an unfortunate stage in the process now knows several new words, not ones on the national curriculum!   Her delightful Mummy was not best pleased!

 

Oh and Specialist Cars were delighted to NOT be lumbered with doing the vents - definitely not a grump as I was worried about that.

I'm trying to sell the 17" alloys I got with Mason the LS400, on gumtree.

 

First message I get is somebody asking if I want to swap for some ghastly 20" council estate drug dealer wheels. NO THX. I just want to sell them, as I don't have a car that they will fit, and won't have one any time soon.

Bastard man, I've just knocked a bottle of hendo's out of the cupboard and it landed on the ceramic hob and smashed the shit out of it halfway through cooking a massive great pan full of corned beef hash. Felt like a right big man about 2 months ago telling the bloke from AO "No thanks mate, I'll take my chances without your insurance, I'm hardly gonna drop a cooker down the bog in the pub"

Bread sandwiches for tea then FFS

Clean all traces of whatever hendos is off and ring up in a panic tomorrow saying it exploded on you whilst cooking corned beef hash...
