The grumpy thread

[beko1987]

Just in from work. Started yesterday at 12. Just spent hours keeping awake so I can drive the self important drunken little jumped up twats home from their gig in Liverpool, now I can't switch off so I can fall asleep.

No whip either. As one of the self righteous twats said "I don't tip the postman for delivering my letters" and the in the same breath asking me for a favour to go out of my way to take him into town to the club.

Guess my answer.

 

I fuckin hate coach driving.

You should have taken the gig to drive me and my colleagues up to London the other week! I tipped our driver with a bottle of old speckled hen (which he had never heard of wtf!) and when we asked if we could pull into Beaconsfield services for KFC/McDonalds he joined the queue after me.

 

And we bagged up our rubbish and took it with us at the end. I *may* have spilt 3/4 a can of carlsberg on a rear seat though, sorry!

[cobblers]

It is looking increasingly likely that I will have to spend out on a refurbished rear axle for the Ax, £255, which is £70 more than if it were a drum beam.

 

Sugar coated fucksticks.

 

 

The actual axles are the same, but the disk one will have thicker ARB and torsion bars etc etc.

[Pillock]

EBay sellers.

 

Bought a phone charger, the day before expected delivery (with item marked as despatched) I get a message saying it's too poor quality to send. Told them to send it anyway, I only want the innards for a project. They say it's gone back to factory.

 

I left them neutral feedback, since I now have £4.77 locked in PayPal until my bank sends the money. And I have to buy another one. Bit of a pain, but not the end of the world so neutral, not negative.

 

Get message his morning asking me less than politely to upgrade it to positive! For an item I haven't received..... Chancers! Looking at his feedback there's loads of stuff the same, unable to provide item etc.

 

They can't leave me negative can they? I paid instantly and that's as far as my involvement went.

[Mr Lobster]

^ Nope, sellers can't leave negatives.

[RobT]

^Another ebay seller grump. I'm currently sitting at home waiting for the seller of the Corsa to message me his address, plus the V5 new keeper reference so I can tax the thing. I asked him for these details 10 minutes after the auction ended yesterday afternoon. He said fine to collecting at 11am but considering he's in Harpenden somewhere and I'm in South London, that 'aint gonna happen. He's probably another one that thinks it sold too cheap so has gone all quiet.

 

FFS!! I'm also pissed off as I was hoping to fit in a visit to Stondon today but that idea is fucked now, even if I do end up collecting the car later.

 

Edit: Can sellers neg feedback buyers these days? If not I'll tell him to stick the Corsa up his arse and bid on the Clio I've got in my watch list instead.

Report the pricks to ebay.  they frown on feedback manipulation like this.   As always in Ebay jousts, make sure you block the arse so he cant do anything to you in retaliation...

[EssDeeWon]

Insurance quotes!    

 

I was quoted about £259 a few months ago for a Rover 75 V6, since then no details have changed other than im a few months older and im now getting quotes of £372.

 

*Big Sigh.

[Bren]

Fitted battery to fiesta.

 

Fits in box but is too tall for the clamp which fits over it - MOT failure?

 

It went flat because my son left interior light on.

 

You would think somebody would have noticed that it was on all the time.

[Craig the Princess]

No whip either. As one of the self righteous twats said "I don't tip the postman for delivering my letters" and the in the same breath asking me for a favour to go out of my way to take him into town to the club.

Guess my answer.

 

Ask your fucking postman to do it?

[HH-R]

Had no phone or internet for 3 days now, BT have done done bollox all with my fault report.

 

I have to wonder if anyone actually tests their website? To view the fault report I click on help and then enter my phone number. It asks you to sign in OR enter my account no. Enter my login details and it says the reporting tool is having technical difficulties. Try again and it works the 2nd time, but the status never changes, i.e they've done NOWT.

 

Tried to sign up for the BT Wifi thing so I can legally leach off someone else's wifi. Go to sign up and it says sign in with an @btinternet.com email address. Err I don't have one. Click on e-mail on the My BT page and it says there is no BT email associated with my account. Right, so how do you create one? No flippin idea. If there is an option to, then it's impossible to find.

 

Can't wait for my contract to be up, but whoever I go with will still use BT's shite network.

See this week's watchdog for more tales of woe about the wankers at BT openreach

[Ghosty]

Has someone being playing circle of death ?

That's ring of fire to us, but yes it's a house favourite. 

I was also being picked on through some other drinking games and ended up going through quite a lot of Corona - and I only had about half the drinks people were nominating me for. 

My liver is still screaming at me

Liverpool beaten again FFS.

 

Not sure where this leaves the manager.

Yeah but loads of people come across as self important twats when they have had a drink........and they did hire a coach for the trip so not stupid twats.

 

Take a deep breath and buy a Volvo!

 

I have had a drink so these may be the words of a self important twat....

[hairnet]

Fail, but a ratchet strap will be enough to get it through

As a 'non-Liverpool' supporter I'm keeping everything crossed you get Princess Kenny back. No-one can cock up and still be a hero like him.

 

 

 

Todays grump:

44 miles on a 30 odd year old Raleigh was great. Until I fell off in style and I'm now weighing up a trip to A&E who are going to tell me what I already know, that my ribs are bruised.

Any raspy noises when you breathe in?

Do you use 8 as a piss card ?

[Cavcraft]

Thankfully not.

[cort16]

That blue gtv I fancied on eBay just sailed right past my max bid with an hour and a bit to go. Flaps.

[Jon]

Get yourself down to A&E, Billy. I'm guessing it's a service you don't use/abuse too often but it's there for times like these. I dropped the replacement rear beam on my head when fitting it to our 205 last year and although I didn't suffer any ill effects other than a bit of bruising, it was reassurance for me and family that everything was OK. 

 

Plus, you might get treated by a fit nurse.

[Lord Sterling]

Bah, looks like I'm about to lose out on a mint 1986 Sterling. A small deal made between myself, a mate and the owner hasn't gone the way I thought it would.

 

Man, all those years I wanted a nice early D-reg Mk1 Sterling and just when I thought it might be possible, it isn't.

[Ghosty]

Do you use 8 as a piss card ?

Piss card?

Nah, 8 is you and a chosen 'mate', 'cause it rhymes like.

 

A video has surfaced from Friday night of someone else plastered, shouting at the camera a lot - 'you fuckin WHAT' etc when he's drunk, meanwhile there's a lot of coughing out of shot. Not long after I was spewing up I think.

[Pillock]

Just to bring this thread full circle, a mate saw this in Classic Car Weekly!

 

[twosmoke300]

In our local rules if circle of death you can only leave the table for a slash if you have pulled an 8. These can be bought or traded tho

I understand your anger, Racing green????? you couldn't race a milkfloat in one, also selling a car as taxed, when will these idiots learn.

[Noel Tidybeard]

when will they learn- long tax is worth shit these days

[Lankytim]

FUCK you MAERSK!!

Incorrect address, no reference number, waiting hours for a call back and now booted off site.

Thanks for that, you useless bastards.

 

 

edit

 

Found out that it was my mistake. AWKWARD.

[xtriple]

Frosty last night (nothing like you lads up North get) and my car was proper white this morning. However, sat in the sunshine and it soon reverted to re-sale silver, so all good.

 

However, the inside of the screen is soaking wet... wtf! New car so shouldn't have a damp problem, should it? Turned on air-con and heater (heated seats burn your arse when you forget them!) and it still took ages to clear. Pondered this as I was mildly irked, then realised that the back seat is covered in a damp blanket and the boot is full of wet towels.

 

That'll be it then!
