The grumpy thread

[Pillock]

That's fine but you have now been thoroughly data harvested by google analytics.

This is my bothered face

 

They already know enough.... They have my email, calendar and reminders. They know where I live and work, and what roads I use to get there. They actually have a record of every time I've left the house in the past three years. They know who all my family members are, and of my friends which I work with and who I meet how often. They let my wife know where I am and when I'll be home. They know what websites I use, my bank details, what books I read and what music I listen to. They know where I shop and where I eat and drink.

 

If that helps me get 25p off car insurance, I'm happy.

I think our cars are feeling grumpy...

 

Zx rear wiper as of 5.33 tonight only wipes up to the middle then stops dead and needs a poke to continue its sweep... Best get the grease out over the weekend.

 

Meriva has apparently shat it's air con... Reports of its blowing warm air and making an awful noise when the ac is turned on... Will investigate that tomorrow too

[UmBongo]

Comin over here, paying for our rooms and buying all our overpriced tat;)

 

Know what you mean though-but I find it applies to everyone-even natives

It's not our tat nowadays, it's Chinese tat.

[fred]

I will be going through the arse poking experience end of the month when my insurance is up, already getting emails off every cock womble and free bryan toy/churchill dog/ fucking meerkat company etc... 

Like being fingered by Gary glitter in readiness for a Good Savilling

Bus number 2... City Centre to Barrhead... £4.35 single, £3.80 day ticket. Thankfully change is given on this service.

 

I thought driving buses was bollocks but jesus christ this is fucking grim.

Is it still McGill's that run buses in barrhead or have they been swallowed up?

[twosmoke300]

Can someone more it savvy than me put the last bit of freds post in the quote thread please 😄

[cms206]

Swallowed up by Arriva, spat out and regurgitated into a new McGill's which covers Largs in the south to Hamilton in the east. McGill's in name only if you like, and no Leyland Nationals.

[skattrd]

Fucking Mercedes fucking o rings fucking air in fuel line bollocks.

I think insurance companies should be made to display the risk formulas they use to calculate premiums.

[chaseracer]

 

...PARANOIA...! *

 

 

Do they know your OKSHUN_DETHBURGA consumption levels?

 

[fairkens]

It would be pointless. You need to be an actuary to properly understand it and it's not a fixed thing, too many variables that change too often.

 

ETA pretty much the definition of a trade secret too

The radio cassette in the MGF has eaten my story of the clash tape

[Pillock]

Well, some Saturdays they pro-actively tell me how long it'll take to get to Cannock Auctions, so yes. Probably.

Looks like the Dolly 1300's oil cap is leaking, irritating but simple fix.

 

I go on eBay (silly me), find advert with a picture of an oil cap identical to the BL OEM one, bit more expensive than the shitty Chinese repo ones but it's worth it. Part arrives in the post, it's a shitty Chinese repo one that doesn't resemble the picture in the advert.

 

Fucks sake...

Haha I just found a great tool. So I had the idea of replying to this saying that you have to pay the postage back to China in something resembling Chinglish. This lead me to find a website that translates a phrase that you give it into another language, it then translates it back to English but it does this multiple times so it comes back with an intentionally terrible translation.

 

I put in "You are responsible for paying the return postage." which after being translated ten times results in "If the defendant to pay the costs associated with the return."

That translator is quite funny,could have some fun with that.

Bought Amy a pair of maternity trousers from ebay that were too long for her. Meant to send them back or at least email the seller.

 

Just spotted the package fallen down the back of the sofa. 18 days have passed... Fuck

 

Anyone's missus need a pair of 22-24 long maternity trousers?

[MrDuke]

Scissors + needle + thread = sorted.

[Richard]

It's a bit late for that, she's already pregnant.

[sporty-shite]

This. Or if you aren't very good withe the needles a fiver or so should get them done.

Left house at 1 to go get lunch for SWMBO and I. Boss phoned. "Can you pop up to Barrhead, I've locked myself out." Pops up and lets boss in, gets back in car and heads home with lunch. I was gone 58 minutes and now SWMBO has thrown the lunch at me and called me a cunt as she thought I'd been killed in a car crash.

 

wtf?

[Pillock]

The amount of politics in various threads - some of which started out as a politics thread, some if which actually had shite content to begin with.

 

We don't all want to have the discussion, and it seems like breathing is an excuse for snide comments about one party or another. I don't even know who currently runs the country ffs, but I do want to see pictures of shite cars.

 

I thought it was accepted that on the main forum, only the grump and grin threads were meant to be non-shite. I feel a cunt reporting the threads (feels a bit like telling tales) but meh.

[Inspector Morose]

I blame the government.

[captain_70s]

Autoshite was a better place before the bloody Tories got in...

[EssDeeWon]

Yes bring back Labour and that genius scrappage scheme of theirs 

[Lacquer Peel]

It's such a Tory idea, the scrappage scheme. Financial incentives aimed at people well off enough to buy a brand new car and supporting a service industry, new car dealers.
