The grumpy thread

[Mr_Bo11ox]

[maxpower]

CYCLISTS.... i come out of  junction he speeds up almost runs into the side of me and asks "What are you doing man"??? to which i replied.. "Oh sorry, i didnt see you there..dressed ALL in black with no fkin lights on your bike"... and these twats wonder how they end up under the wheels of cement trucks

[skattrd]

This morning I've found out what happens when you don't close the lid properly on a fish tank filter .... You end up paddling across the room and spend the first half hour of the day mopping up water.

Took my 5 year old son to see santa last night. Within about 10 minutes of being there he was having good a paddy as he wanted a stupid teddy on a raffle stall. Ended up dragging a screaming kid home and putting him to bed....

Check out the full horror of the modern Fiat range. Obviously taking their model range influence from Mini. That 500 was successful right so lets make hundreds of them. Red ones, blue ones, soft top ones, 4x4 ones, ones that looks like they've had an air line rammed up their arse, ones that look like they've fell in a sewage pit, ones with 7 seats, one with 9 doors.

 

 

 

What do you want from Fiat?  Stop making 500L's!

[quicksilver]

500X Opening Edition and Panda Cross? WTF are they? A 500 with doors that open and a panda crossed with an elephant?

 

What do I want from Fiat? None of those hideous shitheaps, that's for sure. I'd take a nice 130 coupe though.

 

How times have changed. Fiats used to be cool. I bet this is smaller than a 500L too.

[Noel Tidybeard]

i always thought fiat had missed a trick here- the 500L shoulda been a 600 then the xl a 600 multipla, then they would have had the 500L monica for the 500 estate concept that everyone was waiting for!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Came inside after about only 30 minutes working* on the suzuki. I had to I I was going to smash the fucking thing up as I couldn't get the doors wide open or to stop closing on my leg, this meant I could not get the grinder in.

 

I'm going to use it as a lesson in patience, saving money to buy the right tools and not trying to work on the fucking drive!!!!

 

Badly need a cheap shed to work from

Farking Germs!

 

It's now Thursday, I lost my voice last Friday, which then developed into full-on man-flu.

 

Saw a doctor yesterday, and as I suspected, I've developed sinusitis. Unfortunately, antibiotics are not prescribed until you've suffered with a face that feels like Mike Tyson's punchbag for 14 days.

 

So i'm currently snotty, chest wheezing like a 957 Fiesta, face swollen like an ugly balloon, and having hot flushes, the lie of which haven't been experienced since the Tagora thread from pshome. And i've gone down to about 50% hearing ability in both ears.

 

Noice.

[Cavcraft]

face swollen like an ugly balloon,

 

 

At least that hasn't changed, mate

[Ghosty]

500L MPW?

 

500XL would be better. Marketing folk don't have a clue.

 

Heck, why not Multipla

you'll fit in round here just fine still

[jakebullet]

That bastard band aid 30 winds me up more every time I hear it. The original was ok, but this one sounds like they just phoned it in. N of course they won't play the original now there's the new improved nobodies version out.

 

It needs a campaign to get the macc lads "feed your face" to no. 1 to act as an antidote.

[beko1987]

I came home to Amy playing the original version tonight...was a bit of a letdown after listening to Rainbow very loudly on the way home...

First Utility - I got sick of them overcharging me so I switched energy supplier.

6 weeks later I have still to receive a final bill from them and a refund of around £300.

I've just been on hold with them for 35 minutes and then a click and the phone hung up without me speaking (loudly and angrily) to someone ... I shall be calling back later and mention complaints and ombudsman frequently.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Thanks to Cort16 exposing me to the Fiat range,I'm now aware of the 500MPW.

 

Wow! Mulliner Park Ward have really dropped the ball since the 60's

RE: The 500L

 

You'd think a car with a brown steering wheel would have its plus points, but I can't find any.

 

The steering seems vaguely connected to the front wheels.

 

Being the 1.6 / 105bhp diseasal, it has a powerband of around 1500 rpm, either side of which nada happens.

 

As you're constantly caning it to keep up with the rest of the traffic, it's putting in under 40mpg.

 

This isn't just a case of 'all modern carz iz shit' - I'm not sure who the target market is for this vehicle; it seems to generate revulsion from other road users, male / female. Young / old.

 

My first car was a 127 1300GT, and I loved it when it worked. My mate had Uno Turbo's, Strada Abarth's and Tipo Sedicivalvole's which were great; even his sheddy old Croma 2.0 i.e was an amusing steer. 

 

Looking at their current model line up, they've definitely lost their way...

[Chas4545]

I saw the Fiat 500 L described as a "bad first draft".

Gonna be v. cheap quite soon surely

[Chas4545]

Fiat range - will someone who knows how  post a Fiat Qubo pic showing the grace and beauty of its front bumper thing.

V Cheap future shite

Dog farts...... My Labrador is on pills for a dodgy foot, they've given him the arse of satan

[sporty-shite]

Fuck's sake. Another ,let down on a viewing for the 306. Looks like I'm going to have this thing stuck up my arse until well into the new year.

 

Could do without this shit.

Labs are smelly bastards anyway, mine does the kind of of sulphurous, rancid pumps you can actually taste,regardless of what we feed him

He's just messaged me. Has an unexpected bill and can only raise £250. This then increased to £300 when I refused.

 

Apparently he still wants it, but will see what he can do.

 

Verdict: Chancer.

[jakebullet]

Ebay. Fuck the fucking fuckers.

 

A case is open. Aka where is it you thieving seller? Checked the tracking, twat has been carded twice. So a lot easier to shaft the seller than go fetch it from the depot.

 

Neutral feedback from some twat in Italy: "I thought they were normal dices, but they were caps... my fault..".

Item title "Set of Four Red Translucent Dice Dust Caps". There's a photo of them on a valve stem. Hope the mong has somebody to tell him to breathe in and out 'cos he's obviously not got a brain.

 

Hermes has set one of their depots on fire. There will be delays of 5 working days. I've currently got 20 parcels somewhere with them, so that should get me a few more defects from evilbay.

Unexpected my fat arse, he's just copping out. He won't buy it, mate, look for someone else.

I know. I certainly won't be holding onto it for him, or any other fucker*, unless there's a deposit at the very least.

 

 

*maybe a shiter, but then only for a short period

last 2 cars I've bought, the offer of a deposit was refused- almost as if the act of offering one makes you trustworthy?!odd!
