The grumpy thread

[Ghosty]

Fuck and shit, my ps3 is dead it's age related overheating and it's possible that even fixing it won't work.

 

What type of PS3 is it? I've an 80GB 'fat' model and a load of games, just formatted it and was about to stick on eBay...

 

I was meant to have my train driver medical yesterday. Took the train heading down to London. The train in front broke down, ended up over an hour late so missed the slot it is rearranged for Monday week and I wasted 6 hours.

Over an hour late? If that was an hour after the train's intended arrival time you should get a sizeable refund through delay repay for that.

It's the original kind that plays ps2 games. Have taken it to a shop in town. They can't guarantee it can be fixed but it.

 

I'm after another for upstairs though. How much do you want for it?

I'll get 100%, but as it was a free pass from the train co it won't go far

What is it with people that, when I go shopping, get to the checkout and start piling up my stuff on the belt, immediately start piling their stuff up right behind mine, even though I've only just started emptying my cart, thus forcing me to pile it all up in a big heap? Are they really that ignorant?

[dave21478]

I have a new tactic for supermarket shopping - be 101% cunt. Its not in my nature normally, but seeing how other behave in them make me think I am just far too polite.

Nudging into the queue? You get an elbow to the gut.... Oops, didnt see you there.

Blocking the aisle with your trolley? Ramming speed, Scotty.

Standing in front of the display contemplating the existence of unicorns? Im just gonna barge you. No regrets, no apologies.

 

If you cant beat them - join them.

Granted, if everyone does this, supermarkets will eventually resemble Thunderdome, but perhaps thats not a bad thing.

 

Dont get between me and the Supernoodles.

Got a phonecall from my mate lunchtime today "had a bit of vandalism down the field,tried to break into the shed but they've smashed a window on your car"

So went and had a coffee and a chat with my mate then we both went down to the field.Whoever have tried smashing the lock off the roller door with a large stone.The "shed" is a 40ft steel building and having no luck with the roller door they've tried breaking through the steel side door with a wooden fence post.The noise probably alerted the neighbours so they've scarpered down to the bottom of the field.My (late mother's) Escort is on hard standing down there along with my Series Land Rover.The passenger's side window is smashed but there is also a large dent at the top of the door.Great! The rear door is open slightly and the back seats are folded down.Leaving the stereo as the front is in the glovebox they've had a rummage around the boot.The spare wheel is unscrewed from the wheel-well but still there.My mate says they've ransacked an old caravan which had been used to store hay but not touched the Land Rover.

The series didn't look to have been touched but there is a knackered ratchet and a couple of inlet valves on the ground infront of it.We open the bonnet to find no battery.So some scumbag has dented a door,smashed a window,broken a lock and rummaged around just to find something to use to steal a battery.The Escort still has it's battery under the bonnet.In the wheel-brace bag I think there should be a two headed screwdriver and a 10-13mm combination spanner..Some Arsehole has wrecked a door on the only thing I have that was my mothers just for a fucking spanner.

Ah, mine doesn't do PS2 games, but it does do PS1. Not a clue what it's worth tbh. Make me an offer?

[eddyramrod]

Meggers, I feel for you.  I do hope you find these "people" before the authorities do.  Karma can then be applied...

I'm sick of a grade 1 ebay twunt.

 

Sent him a pool ball gear knob. Tracking says delivered. He was probably expecting royal fail, so has to come up with another plan to rob me. His 'cunning' plan is to claim I've sent him an envelope with just an invoice in it. Don't do anything remotely believable like say hermes put a hole in the envelope, stick to your bullshit story that you got a totally sealed undamaged envelope with nothing in it.

 

So I tell twat I'm going to get the courier to investigate. Twat opens a case for item not received with ebay. Bit dumb when I've got tracking that says delivered. Now of course I know this is shitbay, and the customer is always right. So he can wait the week for his case to be escalated to ebay for them to give my money away.

 

Today he opens a case with paypal as well. So not content with stealing from me he's trying to get 2 lots of refund too.

 

I hate this fucking job, and if I wasn't such an unemployable mong I'd be out of there. I can only take solace in that a new argos catalogue has just come out, and argos is 2 minutes walk from the post office.

[Lankytim]

I raided a dispute with ebay after a phone charger arrived broken. They closed the dispute after the seller didn't respond to their message to him. Can't you do that?

[jakebullet]

Nope. I'm the seller, and ebay currently works like seller = automatically wrong lying scum. So what if they buyer has had 50 things in a row not arrive? he's just unlucky and you should refund him.

[brownnova]

Some stupid woman had just called our house at half past midnight And it was a wrong bloody number!! You absolutely crap yourself when someone rings in the middle of the night.

[xtriple]

Not sure if grump or grin....

 

Also, do not read if queezy as serious amounts of disgustingness!

 

Had an eye infection for the last couple of weeks (stress don'cha know!) for which I have been applying copious amounts of medical gunge, which has helped. But, had a huge HUGE yellow lump right on the edge of my eye lashes which hurt like fook! Couple that to the black eye underneath and I looked even more of a mess than usual...

 

Apparently, not a sty and doctor not quite sure what it is... worrying.

 

A few days ago, being the big brave man I am, I gave it a bloody good squeeze as it was agony and a load of clear stuff came out of the inside, which helped with the pain side of things, but not with the aesthetics!

 

Anyway, tonight, thoroughly sick of the thing and dreading yet more doctors/hospital trips to sort the fucker out, I squeezed the living shit out of the thing and.... POP! It actually made a noise and blood and gore flooded out. It looks loads better and doesn't hurt anymore - result!

 

The pain of doing it nearly made me pass out, it sure didn't tickle...

More tractor grief. I live beside a 90 degree bend in the road, and because this is the fens we get lots of rubber tracked caterpillers going passed. When they skid round the corner it sets up massive vibration that shakes the whole house- enough to rattle my beloved Charles and Diana cups in their saucers. I've moaned to all the relevant authorities but they don't seem to care even though the road surface is regularly chewed to buggery. I think that solid tyred commercials got taxed off the road in the thirties because of the damage they caused, so its hard to understand how these things got type approval- they don't appear to have anything in the way of suspension.

I hasten to add that the bloke blocking the road with a combine hasn't been me for some time- I got fed up with only earning 26 quid a week in 1975.

[Ghosty]

Eye spots? New one on me.

[cros]

Custard? No thanks.

Jag still leaking fuel

 

E30 still failing to pump fuel

 

And now the backbox has just fallen off the Polo!

 

Fuckin old cars.

Me and Our lass went on a "romantic" trip to York for our anniversary/her birthday etc.

 

Just before we are about to set off, she bends down to pick up a suitcase and the dog decides to jump up to say hello. cracking her in the face and then smashing her tooth through her lip, blood everywhere.

A+E were quite good and we were only an hour late setting off, but she looks like she's been thumped or has a minor cleft.

 

£230 a night hotel room was tiny and noisy with a view of a wall.

 

York is absolutely full of gobby pissed up geordies on Stag/Hen parties which ruined the night for a start. We struggled to find a restaurant to eat at that didn't have a bouncer on the door. WTF?

 

She was in a fairly foul mood all weekend and I got dragged round the usual shit clothes shops for about 6 hours today. What's the fucking point? We have the exact same shops here. Why drive 70 miles to go the the same shop as we have locally? And why do you want me to follow you round looking bored and moaning that everything is awful.

 

+York Designer outlet is full of cunts as well.

[Cavcraft]

Ah, that old 'shopping' caper. My missus, God bless her, always goes in to the same chain of shops we have in our home city when on holiday. I always question her as to why, she always replies 'well, they might have something different'.

Half an hour or so of me standing outside bored shitless, she comes back out and declares 'everything's the same as the one in Chester'.

 

No shit, Sherlock. No shit.

I would be straight in with a complaint if my room looked at a wall at half that price.

 

As for York it's very nice but has a lot of pubs in a smallish area so it attracts knobheads and students at night

That is just criminal!

My daughter has just come back from working for a month in Rotterdam.

She had a very nice room in one of the best hotels there at only €47 a night, great view included.

She didn't actually pay for anything, the disaster relief agency paid for everything but she was still very happy with the room, service and quality of the hotel.

 

I appreciate that this is apples and oranges but still.  Ã‚£230 for a view of a wall and a chorus of pissed geordies, outrageous!

Is that a view of a wall or a view of "the wall", if the latter it explains the price!

 

YDO is the only shopping I'll do but not been for ages so may have cunted up in that time

complain like fuck in writing

 

bad enough in a travelodge but then its usually under 50 quid

 

200 upwards is posh and should be treated as

 

always stay in a place on the edge of towns - for exactly that reason no matter how much

 

shame about the boss hope its not too bad healing

ATTENTION ALL WIMMIN, "spending time together" doesn't mean dragging your fella round shit clothes outlets.

 

Fancy spending Saturday in a breakers yard in the rain? No, thought not.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

LOL, so true

 

Pisses me off how every town has exactly the same bastard shops in though

She didn't come in though, and just when I thought we were going home she suggested popping into Currys on the way home to look at cookers and the rest of the afternoon disappeared. How do shops manage to eat up so much time?

You guys do realise it was International Women's Day today don't you?

 

If you're waiting for International Men's Day don't hold your breath ("but it's International Men's Day every other day of the year" )

[Richard]

It's the 19th of November I believe.

They've probably misappropriated that one too.
