The grumpy thread

[chaseracer]

Simon McKinley is dead.

 

 

JAYSUSS AITCH FECKIN KROISTE!!

 

Did the man ever brake?

 

[Cavcraft]

A Gumtree offer of less than third of my asking price for a really nice bike I have with the kind* offer of cash the same day.

 

Facebook offer on the Vectra when it said 'no offers.'

[Stanky]

Are you ever tempted to reply to these mouth-breathers, agree to the pittance they offer and tell them to meet you at a massively bleak location then just not bother to go? Like say you'll meet them up on some grim, desolate windswept moor and then LOL your AO when, at the appointed time, you are drunk and on here?

 

Just wondered if anyone else has had this thought? Surely, as a private sale they have no come-back if you were to do this?

[jakebullet]

Poor dead Orville

 

Wonder if kiddy fiddler accusation club will spring into life now he's dead?

[Cavcraft]

I will do one day, and probably take long range pictures of some tit walking round a motorway services for half an hour. I have asked the person who made the offer what part of 'No offers' he didn't get and he's asked me to message him the mileage (on the advert) and what year the car is, which the clearly visible reg. number pretty much says for itself.

Damn shame about Simon McKinley............Hell he was fast. Seen him do a hillclimb in Donegal a couple of years back. I was running for cover before I even saw that MkII, i heard it screaming towards the hairpin flatout at about a zillion miles an hour and I just glanced in time to see it disappear round it. Top driver.

 

RIP Simon.

[Lord Sterling]

Pretty much everything right now is making me grumpy.

 

You know when your in one of those days where everything is just shit. Today is that day for me.

 

Work - shit, noisy, smelly and it bloody dragged today. Not looking forward to tomorrow

 

Cars - Dropped off Micra today to Mahmouds for a CV joint replacement. When I got back, CV joint had been replaced but it needed gear oil and the nit had seized. At this point I had a headache and wanted to go home. Then as the cars were being packed away mine got blocked in as the mechanics thought the Micra was staying. Thankfully Mahmoud saw this and decided that I wasn't going to be without a car. Gear oil got topped up through another inlet and is sorted, he charged me half the price of a CV joint for all the work.

 

Mercedes still doesn't have a new waterpump. I reckon mine must have been the only one ever made. I think I need to let Mahmoud know about Angry Dicky's contact.

 

Family - Ma got on nerves because apparently I am meant to read her mind or summat and then Pa and I had an arguement about how to go about getting Lady_Sterling into my life.

 

Fuck off Tuesday 28th April 2015 and take your shit aura with you.

^^Is your Mrs still in Syria?

'Collection only' means 'I'll post it just for you', or something.

[cms206]

Nothings won anymore, its bought.

This is clearly bollocks, coming from the voice of experience.

[vulgalour]

Everyone is selling shite at £nearlynothing and now Dugong has gone and put his shrunkinwash V6 up for grabs too!  It's probably just as well I have to save up for a new PC right now otherwise I'd own an automatic Punto, a Buick Sable, a Volvo 440 and an MX-3.

 

 

 

Okay, maybe I lied about the Punto.

Had to go through the torture of the BT helpline for my sisters internet troubles....

 

Having been there before I was not looking forward to it. Abridged version, as the full one would break the forum

 

Got no signal to PC -Where is your router? - next to PC - wheres your phone plug in socket situated - In the next room, PC is in her bedroom,- Ahh, perhaps your cable is too long and signal cant reach - WTF?

 

The fucking signal is whipped around the world bounced of satellites, travels fuck knows miles through cables, exchange boxes and it cant make the last 10 fucking feet! 

 

Cock fucking wombles the lot of em....Sending engineer out sometime in the next millennia , useless spunk trumpets

Now if they called you...

 

Why would you need to give them your phone number?

[sheffcortinacentre]

they know the person they ask for doesn't exist, think its a case of ask for someone else & then you don't hang up on them, so then they've got you in conversation & then the spiel starts

 

ie hello can I speak to joe blogs?

sorry theres no joe blogs here?

well we were told to ring  joe blogs back about this great offer but if hes not there? ooooh would you be interested in it................

 

so you butt in & say yes it was his number but you can now get him on this one .............

Anything and everything held together with plastic clips.

 

Rubbish "pattern" parts. Nearly is not good enough however cheap.

Imagine how useless a car made entirely of Brazilian / Chinese / Bulgarian knock-off parts would be.

[The Moog]

screw in the tyre of the pug... bugger.

re-torque the screw with a dab of silcunt sealant

[xtriple]

I are a twat!

 

It would appear that I am too dim to even fill an e-cig properly... been filling it through the wrong (tiny) hole so no wonder I wasn't getting much in it but it does explain why it was lasting sooooooo long!

 

Also, my beloved, bombproof, perfectly behaved little Phoebe (still hobbling around with her elbows out...) ran across a main road today! She saw another dog and flew across the road... thank God and all the Angels that there was nothing coming! Couldn't believe it, she never goes on a lead because she is so good and never, NEVER does things like that.

 

Also, typing this for the second time as doing so with the fat head of a Chester (basset) on your forearm results in hitting wrong keys and deleting everything!

Watching a car on a forum that you really want(lada niva) while you don't have the money and then it sells. Who would have thought that a little old car from Russia could bring happiness into a mans life...but even I'm denied the pleasure.

[michael1703]

Julian Ryder. The worst and truely hopeless Moto GP commentator. As bad as Charlie Cox ever was.

I can't stand him saying jewez for Jerez and his pronunciation of espargaro and a few other things but he used to making boring racing more interesting

 

In the days of stoner clearing off and winning by ten seconds and a dull precession of 11 finishers he could fill 45minutes with interesting info, in the new Marquez area with exciting races he isn't quite fast enough to keep up with all the action

I must admit I have never been a fan of Lada's but I do know a bloke who has got a few. I will ask him next time I see him if he wants to sell any. One of them was running a twin cam if I remember correctly.

Nearly got knocked off my bike on the way home tonight by some twunt in a minivan.   He came past 200 yards from a crossroads, breaking the limit, forcing an oncoming car to move over and nearly took my elbow off.   Then he pulled in to the swimming pool car park 100 yards further on, clearly his children needed to get to their lesson a few seconds earlier.   We had a few words and amazingly didn't get in to swearing but he just could not see that I had a right to be on the road and did not have to pull over to let him past.   Apparently that would be 'common courtesy'.  

 

Now I would agree with this if we were on a twisting narrow country road and in fact I do pull over to let cars past in such circumstances.   But we weren't, we were in a suburban 30 zone and the longest he could have been slightly delayed (I ride fast) was the 4-500 yards since the last stop sign.      I suggested that common courtesy might be not risking killing me so that he could get to where he was going a tiny bit faster and that actually he should safely go around me.

 

He was just of the firm opinion that he had more right to be on the road in a car than someone on a bike.  I have had a few close calls over the years but never actually spoken with anyone who genuinely felt that way, normally it's just swearing and resentment that you're beating the traffic.   The highlight was when he called me a 'damn liberal' (a big insult in Texas) but i couldn't argue with that one as it's true.

 

Anyway I reported it but doubt anything will happen.   Good to be able to vent on here.
