The grumpy thread

[brammy777]

I know youve had more of it haha, its just whenever this hits the south, all the transport to the rural areas just collapses. Oh and also, no ones dug out the bus stops yet, so theyre still covered.....

[whitevanman]

Brammy, we're on day 22 of snow on the ground...

Day 23 for me....

Consider yourself lucky to have public transport in your rural area....our last bus was about 15 years ago

Tacky pieces of shit.

This should happen to all Limo's!.

 

 

I'm well and truly fucked off with the snow and cold weather now, I'm sat here with the heating on full, Wrapped in a fleece and a cardigan and I'm still shivering, and to top it off I'm feeling ill with a cold now and snot running down my face.

 

I had to work last night so had a shit 20 minute drive in dodging lorries everywhere and black ice on the A14 to spend 10 hours sat in a small messroom with 20 other blokes watching crap on tele all night because they had closed the port where i work.

 

It was to dangerous to climb the cranes you see as the stairs and ladders were a sheet of ice and they was worried about all the lorries jack knifing driving of the terminal as well.

 

So at 5.30am they decide to let everyone go home, what was the point of us all coming in then?.

[ChinaTom]

Hey Trigger, Sky News have been blaming you all afternoon for operation stack. They say that the crane drivers can't see the yellow lines on the ground.

[trigger]

Yep! all my fault! You have to follow the yellow lines so you don't gantry into the stack with your rear legs, After only a hours snow the other night we had to abandoned our machines as we couldn't see where we was going, Especailly after one driver did stack his RTG into a stack!.

[outlaw118]

You beat me to it, it's off. No new date as yet.That means I've got to spend the WHOLE weekend with the Mrs.

Work:How about getting three or four people that know absolutely FUCK ALL about the job to organise things?I mean God forbid they'd actually dare to consider that the person who does that job knows enough to be asked, have a decent opinion and could have saved fuck knows how much time, coz that'd be silly, wouldn't it?

[CIH]

I saw a stretched ferrari 360 a couple of months ago...Anyway, bloody work. It's fecking freezing but the manager is "incentivised" to keep costs down so the broken crew-room heater isn't fixed and nothing ever get's replaced (even basic workshop consumeables) so the place is a dirty arse deathtrap and I'm sick of pecking his head for stuff we should have automatically.

[Cavcraft]

'Black Market Britain' and other such shite on the telly. OMG DOWNT BYE OV COWNTRFITERS. Every penny they make funds child kidnapping/terrorists/asylum seekers/prostitution and all copied CDS give you cancer etc.Fucking ROFL at the those geezers they caught with a million quids worth of fake trainers and clothes in a London warehouse who got suspended sentences and community service. I expect that'll be a real deterent to them when they drive off in brand new flash cars back to their big houses won't it? Bollocks, why don't they just admit it's the government SHITN BLUE LITES over lost taxes?Oh and does anyone actually believe a £3.00 'Lois Vintmong' handbag off the market is actually a genuine Louis Vitton £800 job or a £1.00 CD with a clear cover and 'Brinay Spearz' written on them in marker pen is the real deal?

[FredTransit]

Too right Cavette! And why do they have to destroy those goods? Spite?

Ironkey, the maker of secure memory sticks. I made an email enquiry before Xmas, and heard zip until this afternoon, when I got an email bla bla how can we help you.

Don't be daft Billy. What you actually need to do is sit in a meeting, deciding what you're going to meet about, then, when you can't think of anything, hire in a consultant to create a business case and propose a new model using blue-sky thinking and a whole heap of waffle that no-one understands - not that anyone will admit to this, because that would make hiring the consultant look like a mistake, so everyone just nods and goes along with it. Simple!

Why is this so ****** common? Why is no one ever credited with even the tiniest amount of inteligence?

Yup!! Totally identify with this too!! Quite recently, we had literally beg for pens!! Can't do the job without them, but budget limits meant we weren't allowed to order any!! And bringing in your own violates company policy!!!

The Autoglass advert on the radio.Enough. Make it stop.

[outlaw118]

There's a new webuyanycar.com advert on the telly, when some spazzy bloke starts doing all the ravey davey gravey dancing and shit.Go away and die you monstrous fucking nobjockey.Where do all the £50 motahs go anyway?

It's made me hate Brummies. And I am one!!If dat chip cawses a crack, yu'll be devastaaateeed. FUCK OFF! I like the chip!! Autoglass Repair? Autoglass disgrace.

[Richard]

Is that the one where the woman says "he wasn't going anywhere". I'm thinking of complaining to the ASA about that one, for all the good it will do.

[RedSparrow]

Well done sky news.Your scaremongering has caused (thick) people to panic buy tons of bread and milk so if the snow continues there will be none in the shops.Nice one.

[shite_meister]

leather bound books etc.

I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Sorry.

 

 

 

Work politics is enough to make your life shit, some people are lucky in that they can just switch off and 'not let it get to you' but its the sort of thing that eats away at me, where I am now there is someone who appears to have it in for me and wouldn't think twice in making a mountain out of a molehill just to big themselves up, pathetic really because its only a smallish company so his chances of promotion to manager are nil.

ROFLOLZERZ!Alas it happens differently where I am. There's enough staff there to find plenty of people who 'know better' and don't listen.I recall not being there long, there was a problem and I suggested a few ways of solving it.I swear to God no-one listened and then random people started suggesting what I'd just that minute said and they went off back-slapping each other on their 'ingenius' solutions Now though I just suggest something once, listen to them poo-poo the idea and find their own way and when that goes wrong I just smile to myself or tell them 'told you so'.

WEBAC are owned by one of the big car supermarkets

Think it's Carcraft isn't it?

Ah that happens to me daily! I am ignored because I don't have a degree usually. I suggest stuff, it gets ignored, they fuck things up and then go with my idea.I try not to be smug but it happens constantly!
