The grumpy thread

^ Sorry to hear about ill dog :(

 

 

This afternoon I spent too much time and used ALL THE TOOLS trying to change a loo seat. I got there in the end, but along the way cursed the people who designed the bathroom (the loo being hidden in a corner, with virtually no access and absolutely NO line of sight on one side), and the people who designed the loo seat (crappy plastic wingnuts that deformed with rough handling, and threads and screws that had rusted so badly that they were unusable, despite tons of penetrating fluid left overnight). In the end, brute force and a chisel won through.

Stupid drivers. Stay on your side of the road. Muppet in sone sort of large ish people carrier strayed over the white line tonight and took my wing mirror with him. He didn't stop and as it was a country lane,by time I had spun round he had disappeared. Completely obliterated the mirror. All that's left is a piece of metal and some wires. No glass,cover etc. For some reason I also have a imprint of a mirror outline scratched on the drivers window.

That's better than the imprint of a mirror all through your face. Probably not worth seeing the insurance either.

Valid point,I am surprised the window didnt go through and it was wound Dow about a minute or two before it happened. Not bothering with insurance as I can get a complete unit for 15/20 quid and its not like a silver Vectra c is a rare sight.

Ended up in Bethnal Green last night. I'd forgotten how suicidal London drivers are.

 

Coming back through Leytonstone, I got stuck in traffic. I had the window open, and a group of three chavs started crossing the road behind the Maestro. I heard one of them exclaim loudly "Blimey! The first car I ever nicked was one of them".

I have just returned from a supermarket run. I have never been so close to chinning my fellow man in my whole life. It seemed everytime I went for something, this particular woman was there, diving in front of me and barging into me in order to get some random item, whether it was a pack of cocktail sticks or a box of basmati rice or even an aloe Vera hand soap thingy. After the fifth attack (pack of red label tea) I said calmly "excuse me, there's no need to barge into me for the tea, there's plenty of it!" Which was met by a "fuck you, who do you fucking think you are talking to me like that, I know people"

 

I was so wound up, I had to take several deep breaths. Season of goodwill my arse. I hope she undercooks her turkey and dies of campylobacter

Normally ours is OK, it's just the usual OMG SHOPZ IS SHUT 4 WUN DAY panic. I was just doing a normal shop (well normal shop plus cocktail sticks)

Will people put litter in the bin provided ffs. There are bins everywhere.

I went to Sainsburys (I'm too posh for Lidl, not posh enough for Waitrose) before it opened. Sat in the cafe and had a massive bacon sandwich whilst watching parking chaos unfold - great vantage point on the second floor of ours. They had parking attendants but they were too busy chatting to point out spaces with their light sabers so much gesturing by drivers ensued.

 

We then went down and did a normal Sunday shop, only extras were some cranberries. I get a slight perverse pleasure from moving trolleys that are abandoned in the middle of the aisle and watching people put stuff in the wrong one but on the whole, aside from the meat isle (because people must eat more animals than usual at Christmas, or something) it was fairly restrained.

I worked at tesco when I was a student, one Xmas eve two blokes had an actual fistfight over the last bag of sprouts, we had to call the police. That was the point when I realised mankind as a species was doomed

I also make sure I buy my sprouts early, just in case

The only possible good thing about supermarkets is sitting in your car laughing at all the knobspoodles who can't park. It's also a good 'insurance' against the idiots that park too close, as if you're in your car you can give them that stare that says 'if you open your door on my car, by the time you get out of the shop, yours is going to look like it's been shot several times'

I believe it's legal as long as you say "Inbox this ya bastard" as you do it.

I'm bored. I ache all over like I have been trampled by small horses. I have 8 stainless screws to fit some trim with on the Triumph. I can't be arsed. No-one wants to swap anything for the BMW. It's cold. It's dark and it's nearly poxy christmas.

 

Pass the Baileys and a piece of Stollen..

Quite. You wouldn't say 'letterbox me', or 'ear me''

 

And why (feel free to complain about people who improperly start sentences with the word and), do they do it in the first place? Rather than posting a public comment saying 'pm me', why not simply send the person a private message in the first place?

 

Of course I know the answer; they want the world to see how they're helping the emotional retard who posted the attention seeking comment that they're responding to.

ITV are great at raiding the charity shops of television bygone years. Bringing back shite that was shit years ago, only yesterday I noticed they had a new 'Celebrity Squares' on with C list celeb knobs that most people have never heard of, or seen before.

 

And that other blind date crap where some orange faced bellend stands in front of 20 odd rough* short skirted young birds who all confirm his abit of a prat by turning their lights off after his mum comes on and tells the world he still wets the bed!!

Dogs still refusing to walk. So I'm having to carry her everywhere still. Seriously making me unwell - had to double up on drugs last night (risky!) and took a load of paracetamol as well.  But, we are all sleeping on the floor, I've made us all a big bed with loads of cushions and pillows and thrown quilts on top and we are sleeping lack a pack: all cuddled round each other! It's quite comfortable to be honest and everyone seems to be happy with the new arrangement!

 

Also I seem to have acquired the worlds biggest spot on my cheek - looks like I've got another head growing there, just drawn eyes and mouth on it with a biro!
