The grumpy thread

[daveb47]

Two month waiting list for a half hour phone call to assess my mental health needs, and apparently it's the norm.

NHS, you're twats.

You are lucky,i got knock on door without warning,

Large black woman with unintelligable english to "interview" me,had 3 school leavers on work experience.

After struggle i discovered that she had no qualifications whatsoever.

So they think that i  am going to bare my feelings & problems to someone who has no proffessional  standing whatsoever and stand good chance of being discussed with their friends etc.

Complained to council,only response i got was to be told that i wasnt suited tto be help as i had been uncooperative.

[purplebargeken]

County council services are a whole different ball game. They are mostly twats.

 

The telephone triage doesn't work for all, there is no doubt about that but for a lot of folk it does give a fair impression which is what triage is in essence. Is the person depressed, anxious, psychotic, actively suicidal, who is supporting them, have they had treatemnt previously, that sort of thing. It isn't therapy or a full assessment but a fair few folk do actually benefit from that brief contact as it is a chance to talk about what is going on. You can get a surprising amount of info from a 20 to 30 minute call, and it is just about enabling the prof to direct the person appropriately and to make sure that person is safe. We have to triage adults of working age, children, memory problems, mental illness in older people, learning disability and eating disorders. Just about everything.

 

As I said I can only give details of what we do and the quality and effectiveness of services is really a postcode lottery (without the chance of winning cash money) and I am sad that you seemed to get a crap service. 

 

I do have some twat'ish traits but only to my so called colleagues who don't want to do what they are meant to do :)

 

Take care folks.

Time for a moan.  Our whole building at work has been without heating for the last two days.  I'm currently sitting here in my coat and hat looking look a weirdo apparently.  But my feet are still like ice and I've got a cold coming, so a day off tomorrow is on the cards I think.  If the Chief Exec and other senior managers had to work in this shit hole I'm sure it'd get sorted sooner, BOCs.

Hit the feckers with this, Rob...

So he wants the car for £60?

I'd ignore anyone that wanted it delivering. Or offering shit prices. Or from the South.

[RobT]

^^Love that Picard WTF, I might print it off and leave copies strewn all over the office.  I'm in militant mode today.

Not sure if it's 16 degress, but it's F cold.  I'm off to the pub for a nice hot pie and a pint.

 

Edit:  Just had to edit as my spelling is shite today.

[chaseracer]

If it's ffffffff.... cold, it ain't 16 degrees... 

[Junkman]

Everyone seems to be fucking me around lately, it's so frustrating.

 

Not only you is being fucked around. People nowadays seem to have even less dignity than those hideous newfangled shitpiles they drive.

I'm not sure whether it will be much longer that I can avoid one of them just being at the wrong time in the wrong place, getting the living daylights kicked out of him for all the fuckage around I have experienced hitherto.

The highest offer is still from a banger racer contact. 

 

Sweet Alison Fanelli, this is testing my patience. 

[plasticvandan]

Surely if anyone wanted it for wholesome good intentions it would have long been sold,just get rid,not as if its the only GS left.

[burraston2006]

 

Dugong ,regarding your GS,wasn't there an escapee from the French scrapage scheme on the ebay thread ?

One that can't be registered and has no docs.

Not that I'm suggesting anything dodgy or owt but.....

 

Couldn't hurt to let the seller know about yours.

 Sorry to but in on this but there was a 2CV declared as scrap on ebay. It was used as an advert for a paint supplier. Am I correct in thinking that once a car is declared as scrap there's nothing you can do about it to get it re-registered for the road?

[rml2345]

^You could always tap it with a terminally rotten one and see if it rings...

Not sure if it still works, but you were able to export it to another EU country (provided you have friends there), then import it and register it.

Of course this is only done on paper, the car doesn't move an inch.

[cort16]

Has anyone see ebay's new payment and postage policy changes when you make a listing?

It's absolutely awful. I mean really, they couldn't make it worse if they tried. They've solved a small proplems 1% of users maybe had and cocked up the other 99% in the process.

 

Surely someone with deep pockets could usurp these half wits?

[TimothyClaypole]

That'll be the "Policy" bobbins... I don't need a dam policy for posting, I want to put how much it will cost etc.

 

Ok if you have 40,000 of the same item otherwise it's a pain in the arse.

 

Payment policy, returns policy, get bent.

[Station]

Reading a thread on a Saab forum where someone bought a car and the engine detonated three months later - the amount of dodgy 'legal' advice given out by users is staggering and would probably get you more into trouble that the garage. What is it with forum users and giving advice on subjects they know nothing about?

[Cavcraft]

Soz it's two days late and it's about Steve Wright again:

Anyone who says the BBC is lefty and anyone who thinks Wright is a great DJ should have a listen to his and his Knobhead sidekick's 'interview' with David Cameron on Wednesdays show.

 

I wouldn't be surprised to hear he's still in hospital having his tongue surgically removed from.the PM's far arse.

[MrDuke]

Wright is second only to Vine in being a stupendous waste of oxygen. No-one else outside of Radio1 has the ablilty to make me swear at the radio so much.

[Station]

I listen to him on a Friday afternoon on the way home before the much better Simon Mayo comes on. He used to be good in the 90's, but he just sucks up to every interviewee and comes across as a phony. Considering it's paid for by the tax payer.

BBC Radio gets worse the further up it goes, with the exception of Radio 4 which is either depressing world news or really awful radio 'comedy' (but otherwise bearable).

[r.welfare]

If anybody really does put "love the show" when they write in to Steve Wright, I will eat my hat.

 

It's been shit ever since he stopped "Ask Elvis".

That's the problem, without DAB in the car I'm stuck with either 4 (which is still preferable to Vine) or 2 - on balance, at least Wright occasionally stops talking long enough to play some music. If I'm bumbling about locally I can usually pick up some Irish stations which aren't bad.

Steve Wright is a first class cunt, and has been since he was on Radio 1 in the 80s. I can't stand the sound of his voice, the sight of his face or the thought of all the arse licking that goes on between his flunkies and him, and him and his "guests". 

 

I really don't understand how anyone can listen to him.

[trigger]

He is a prick, smarmy twat who talks about himself all the time and sings over songs he's playing whilst thinking he's funny, I heard a few minutes of the Cameron interview and had to turn it off.

 

There was a photo of Wrighty with Cameron on the BBC2 Facebook page and Wrighty looks as if he's eaten half the labour party.

 

Have you ever seen a more hateful photo?.

 

[Cavcraft]

It's not even all about the politics, he's an absolute and utter turd with his 'funny' remarks, pointless drivel and his talking over people.

[MrDuke]

Wow, he actually makes Cameron look slim.

[sporty-shite]

Wow, he actually makes Jabba the Hut look slim.

 FTFY

[scruff]

I had no idea he was such a porker these days. Agree that Simon Mayo is pretty good. 

[trigger]

Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo, the savours of radio 2

[chaseracer]

Steve Wright fails to comprehend two things: that the 70s are OVER, and that anyone who hears him is seized with a barely controllable urge to SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE...

 

Aaaaaand breathe.

Good as they are, they pale next to 'The Organist' on Thursday evenings.
