The grumpy thread

[Station]

I bet Fred Talbot will expect a lot of forceful sexual abuse and violence amirite?

[wuvvum]

Nah.  This isn't America.  That kind of thing doesn't happen much in prisons here, especially as nonces are normally kept separate from the general population.

[chaseracer]

Maybe he'll get to bunk in with Rolf at Stafford...

 

"Might rain, might not."

 

"Can you tell what it is yet?"

[EssDeeWon]

Went over to jump start a mates Focus this morning, 2002 Ghia with genuine 22k from new, his just bought it. Loads of short trips by the previous keeper seems to have killed the battery, plus the positive connection was loose....anyway my grump was spotting the front bumper on said Focus cracked open and scraped, apparently someone did this last week and drove off, ffs its not even my car but these people really pizz me off !!!

[HH-R]

House phone was ringing off the hook this morning, 7:15 AM. I get up and answer it, still half asleep, thinking it must have been bad news or whatever because of the relentless ringing.

 

Fuggin "your computer has a virus" scammer. I was somewhat less polite than I usually am to cold callers.

[Timewaster]

I bet Fred Talbot is predicting some very unpleasant showers ahead.

I blatantly stole this and used it as my Facebook status and someone replied

 

"Talbot Horizon not looking good"

 

Should be in the grin thread really.

[Cavcraft]

I'm trying to buy a Corsa off who's probably the dimmest MUTHAFLIPPA in the world (obvious: stated) and it's like trying to deal with a box of box of blunt pencils. I wouldn't be that arsed but I can smell a big discount/bargain price.

[M'coli]

I'm grumping about another forum (again), the council of rivets are out to complain about a car on its eBay section that looks not too shabby at all for something that's 24 years old, and to critisise an owner for not keeping it to their own high standards.
Here's the car:

Is it a fuckin crime to these people to simply own a car to get you from A-to-B? The more I read of this shit, the more I fancy throwing odd-coloured mk3 doors and tailgate at my mk1 shell and a TUD engine and box out of a Saxo under the bonnet...

1. Valentines Day

2. Single

3. I spent so long faffing about asking a girl (longstanding interest of mine) out for the evening that by the time I did, she had already made plans for the evening with a load of her single friends. She did thank me for the offer though, and said it was "sweet". Hopefully she likes the flowers I got her, anyway.

4. The Maestro is filthy again after I cleaned and polished it on Wednesday. Damp salty roads can FRO.

[Pillock]

I like valentines day. Historically I've not done bad out of it - I got a card once from a lass at work when I was single, which led to a few months of finding out how mucky she was in (and out of) bed. However I do appreciate that it's a bit OTT, my Facebook is full of "oooh look how much i spent / had spent on me" where the wife and I have just been to get some cider and chippy tea. And she paid.

[AlabamaShrimp]

I want to know why it's not called St.Valentines day anymore?

 

Why would someone sulk about that metro it's looks proper nice, too many doors, but still very nice

Foamer link, please.

[320touring]

It was my 10 yr anniversary today-

 

Gawd ah luv dat e30!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

That red metro is ace and a super barg.

[Angrydicky]

The red Metro is almost worth the asking price just for the Vehicle Watch, Stoplock and Autolock stickers. Nice to see a GTA that hasn't been twatted about by boy racer types, to be honest.

[Cavcraft]

 She did thank me for the offer though, and said it was "sweet". Hopefully she likes the flowers I got her, anyway.

 

 

Punch her one, they appreciate* that sort of thing.

[Angrydicky]

Is that supposed to be a joke??

[Pillock]

Nnnnnnnggg that GTA is probably within walking distance of my place.

[steve_earwig]

In my experience when a woman says "sweet" she means "creepy". That might just be me though...

 

I want to know why it's not called St.Valentines day anymore?
 

Isn't it? Just "Valentine's Day" I suppose, I hadn't really noticed. May as well call it "another excuse to sell overpriced tat to a captive audience day" anyway.

 

I bought my wife a cyclamen, in a pot, lots of flowers, she liked it. Well, she said she did anyway. She got me... to drive around Zagreb all afternoon (I'd rather plug myself into the mains) and wait half an hour in the cold while she went around Benettons and didn't buy anything for the nth time.

[Angrydicky]

Possibly. Hope not.

 

Nothing worse than being called "creepy" to dent what little confidence I had to begin with

[greengartside]

Talking of low-mileage motors, went to my local scrapyard and saw an X-reg Corsa (old shape) that had done a mere 14,000 miles from new. Scrapped for an unknown reason but there wasn't anything wrong with it as far as I could see. What a waste.

[Richard]

As a special St Valentine's Day treat I took my wife to a railway tunnel. #incurableromantic

[Mr Lobster]

On the bright side, at least its only a month until Steak & BJ Day.

[Richard]

I did get steak for tea tonight...

[SambaS]

The HT leads I bought the Samba Cabriolet in 2013 have disintegrated.... Can anyone recommend a manufacturer of decent quality leads?

 

You'd have though they were eBay tat but actually I got them from my local trusted Motor Factors (this surprised me looking back through the receipts).

[dave21478]

Its my birthday. Im single. Normally I have no qualms about going out on my own for a few drinks and a meal or something, but asking for a table for one on Valentines day.....might as well write "LOSER" on my forehead with a marker pen.

Mrs Pillock is brill.

[steve_earwig]

I never had much confidence around the ladies, eventually, at the age of 30, I decided it wasn't going to happen and basically gave up even trying. Then one of my mate's exes jumped on me...

[Pillock]

Mrs Pillock says thank you very much. To be fair I did pay for Costco, so technically I bought her a jumbo pack of washing powder.

 

Also, I put this in her card...

[beko1987]

Swmbo was going to cook a nice dinner, but after doing a night shift and then being awake all day fell asleep, so I cooked it (steak for me, chicken for her), woke her up, we ate, had a fag and she's in bed now...

 

Should really give myself a blowjob on her behalf really but if I could do that I wouldn't need to be with her...
