The grumpy thread

[greengartside]

I can't stop eating lately and I'm still losing weight

 

Breakfast was a mahoosive bowl of corn flakes and two rounds of toast, I was hungry again by half eleven so went and got saveloy and chips, then had two apples and two bananas, came home ate some sandwiches and defrosted a risotto that was portioned for two people, my wife just rang to say she was going to get fish n chips on her way home, had I eaten? I said no, so there's more food on the way

 

I weigh 9st ffs

 

I get like this sometimes, I've not eaten as healthily as I should recently but I still weigh the same. Seriously though, if you're that worried then I'd go and get medical advice/opinions on it - at least with that you'll know there's something causing it. Good luck.

[greengartside]

Or he's been clever and realised he can make money by playing up being thick as shit

 

He actually has a degree, believe it or not. I'm pretty confident it's all a big act. I mean, who the hell can't wipe their fucking nose? You must have been either deprived as a child or locked in a cage 24/7.

 

EDIT*** Grumpy now because Plasticvandan's changed his Alastair Stewart/Kermit gif on his signature. I loved that!

Depends on how active you are I guess. IIRC an adult male needs something like 2000 calories per day. What you ate looks to be around that. If you walk/run/fidget/are of nervous disposition etc, then the calorie intake needs to be higher to maintain weight. Energy in versus energy out really....

[Timewaster]

Eating because you are hungry is fine. Eating because you are bored or lonely or whatever is a problem.

[fred]

I don't know if it's too late but I had issues with BT and I lost my rag and sent an e-mail so filled with swear words it would have made my old Sarnt-Major blush. They rang back 5 minutes later and got an engineer out the following morning.

 

It appears that my mother was wrong, and swearing is both big & clever

I will try that sir, swearing I have a degree at !

True..... How you know the difference though is tricky. IMHO.

If you need to buy bigger trousers chances are you're eating too much.  Put down the pie.  Step away from the delicious cake.  Go for a walk.

[Inspector Morose]

Fuck. I need to go on a long long walk.

[Honey Badger]

A rare thing happened today and I took myself to see the GP on an emergency appointment because I was fast losing the ability to walk properly thanks to my back relapsing on me.  Have had to stop with the artwork as well today so I'm going to be behind schedule on that and it's likely I'll not get anything done car-wise this weekend either.  Not at all happy, but health comes first.  Been prescribed two weeks of stronger painkillers and rest with occasional exercise to see if it fixes itself.  Also been told not to worry, it appears it's a minor muscle injury rather than something serious.  No improvement in two weeks and I get booked in for physio to investigate further because of family history.

 

Hello boredom for the next few days.

You have my sympathies, get plenty of heat into it before exercising or even just sitting or lying down, heat really loosens the muscles up, I've got a belt with a pocket for a microwaveable heat pack, use it all the time while working on the house or car.

 

Bad backs are shit, it's the only time I'd like to be a short arse

Today's grump is arsehole drivers. Knobheads that insist on doing exactly 30 when there's sod all reason and keeping that speed when you go in a 40 or 50.

 

Or that prick who must have been o the phone as he was alone in the car but his left hand was moving about link a fucker as if talking to someone. Not only was his speed and steering all over the place he looked a cock too

30 mph is a luxury. Round here there's always hold ups at random non peak times, then at the front of the 6/7 car hold up there's some arsehole doing 15 mph for absolutely no reason, doing emergency stops at every junction to flash people out and that. Learners too, I know they have to learn, but fug me I was stuck behind one doing 18 MPH for MILES the other day, the instructor should be telling them to hurry up. Yesterday there was someone in a Micra who joined a dual carriageway at 28 MPH in front of me on a slip road, forcing me to too. I hope they get banned, fuggin dangerous.

Had an interview earlier. Got to the place, met the guys who immediately said "sorry but we dont think you're experience is what we need"

 

You had my CV a month ago, could see what my experience was, and you called me in at the expense of half a days money to tell me that? Why not just call me and tell me?

 

Verdict - Cockmunchers

 

I feel your pain. I was on the rock'n'roll all over Christmas and dishing out CVs left right and centre. Agencies would ring to tell me of the BEST JOB EVER, and when I got there the position bore little resemblance to what I had been told. I think agency recruiters have their very own place in hell.

I raise you Toby Moody. Thank god I don't have to listen to his crap anymore.

 

My grump is the spring change I am currently performing on the A4. First of all, I struggled to compress the new spring enough to get the top of the strut on. Having to clamp and grab an extra coil with the spring compressors a couple of times with the shaft of the damper trying to retract. I must have wound those spring clamps on and off half a dozen times.

I then discovered the top of the strut moves independently of the bottom and their position relative to each other is crucial. Of course it can't be turned unless the spring is compressed. I gave up for the night at 11pm to watch Breaking Bad and fell asleep after 5 minutes.

They don't get any better at any level. They just call themselves executive or head hunters and dole out the same shit, same spiv different day

Vodafone- if you must dodge paying tax can you at least spend some of the money you save on making the network work?

Been called to a special meeting at work this morning at 9 45. I think it is going to be redundancies. 

 

Not that bothered myself, but I am not looking forward to people whinging and moaning for the next 30 days. 

[Cavcraft]

I drive at 15-20mph for miles and let everyone out in front of me, but only if there was some self important wanker behind me right on my bumper when I was doing 30mph.

An Asda delivery van pulled into our small residential carpark this afternoon, I heard the reversing beeps so I looked up to see this van reverse right through the bordering fence, take the panel completely out then drive off.......Boy did I move, with no shoes on I run out and caught him trying to do the off...

 

Before I even said anything the bloke was apologising and said he thought he heard something under his wheel!!....Utter Bollox, it made an almighty bang and he had both cab windows open. Made him get out and help me slot the panel in again.

 

These fuckers make my blood boil, either learn to drive or own up when you smash into someone else's property.

A mate has just had Tesco admit responsibility for knocking his wall down onto his wife's Avensis after 6 months even though it was on his neighbours's cctv and another neighbour had pictures on her phone of the driver.

These big home delivery people must have whole departments dedicated to sorting ( trying to wriggle out of) these things out.

Just  thinking about money.

After the recent turbo-bumming by the tax man, my (admittedly meagre) life savings are wiped out.

So where am I?

37 years old, no savings, no investments, no property assets, no pension, living in a rented house furnished with cheap Ikea furniture, three worthless cars and a garage full of tools and equipment which would cost a fair fortune to replace, but are not really worth much to sell.

Now what?

Keep working until the day I die......thats.....thats not really much to look forward to is it?

 

fuck it.

Aside from the pension bit, I'm exactly like you are only 14 years further on.

PM sent, I'm curious to know who it was (I'm also a driver at the store that driver would have come from)

[Cavcraft]

It seems it's almost unthinkable that a bloke doesn't like boxing. I have no idea who's fighting, I care even less who wins, but some people I know can't get their heads round that.

[MarvinsMom]

another gr9 success for redcar council and that fuckin' mess they have made at the a19/a174 interchange. i come off the a19 and notice a sign saying that the a174 east is shut, follow diversion. 

 

ok, go 2 miles up the road, and the diversion goes left, right and back the friggin' way i've just come from. after hitting the parkway BACK into the roadworks for the second time i had a sense of humour failure, and headed over to the a66 and through town.

 

so for all those in boro i appologise for the clouds of clagg i left as i got my wake cos i wanted to get friggin' home and all the roads were taking me back to the bloody a19!!

 

in other news came past the BOS plant at british steel SSI and the column of funny colored flame (green and purples in pinks, god knows what they were burning) coming out of one of the flair stacks means that they must be casting. cool,
