The grumpy thread

[MarvinsMom]

i've been told that it is the wood pidgeons that do it, though judgeing by the size of it i think it was a fucking buffalo.

 

been and cleaned it off, why they seem to target my rover i dunno when there is some new bmw toss shit heap thing parked behind.

 

fucking birds (or flying bison....)

Too fucked off with work at the minute,everything than can go wrong has gone wrong lately, so I'm sat at home instead. I'd rather not go to work as that way nothing can go wrong

 

QED

 

The plus side is I'm watching the nw200 on bbcsport

Same with my Kia, all down the back door. Luckly it washed off. Same happened on the Reliant last week and it left etch marks on the roof

Another message about the fiesta - in the ad I have advised that the car would benefit from a cambelt, that there is no tax due to the new rules and I will not accept the starting price to end the auction.

 

Message - is cambelt due now? How much tax? So you will accept £500 ?

 

Little wonder we are a nation of zero hour minimum wage plebs - we are not fit for doing fuck all else.

Just seen this "transcript" on a faceache car selling page...and I quote...

 

Person A: "where about r ya mate"

 

Person B (location)

 

Person A "just c if i can get a lift if not r u nere the train stasion"

 

Person B "no delivery"

 

Person A "i didet ask that mte"

 

Person B "Come, let's see if you like it buy the if no to no"

 

.......What on actual fucking earth was that? It made literally no sense AT ALL. As for the grammar - astonished does not cover it. Have we all really turned into a nation of lazy spellers? Seems like we have. I despair for the future.

Reading that it looks to me like Person A is an iletarit mong and Person B is one of our friends from East of Ipswich and doesn't understand "English".  Would be interesting to be a fly on the wall during the haggling process if a viewing were to take place.

 

On a related note, in the past week or so browsing through eBay(.co.uk) Motors I've so far come across two listings written entirely in Polish and one in Hungarian.  All three were for vehicles I might potentially have been interested in had I been able to understand the adverts.

Corporate induction this morning. Thats 5 hours of my life I will never get back ...  I should be able to sign a form saying "Yes I agree to be happy at all times and to never say the company is shit."

 

Makes me remember why I like working for myself.

No they're not - they turned up and viewed the car. Liked the car but wanted it for £500.

 

I said no - it is never a £500 car. I've just spent over £200 on it. 56k from new. I want more than £500.

[bub2006]

I put new rad,tyres,brakes etc on our 51 plate fiesta and that only went for 250 last year. Had more miles than yours though

[Bren]

If you saw mine you would understand why I want more than £500 - apart from a bit of grot in the rear arches it is mint.

 

Chap who turned up said it was the best one he had seen - however he said he wanted the car for his daughter, and was piut off by the prospect of having to pay for a timing belt.

 

I explained that people generally do not spend ££££ on a car then sell it for not a lot - i have spent on tyres and brakes, but as Duncan Bannatyne says "I'm oot."

[vulgalour]

No, people spend a £loads on a car, get dicked around by everyone and then leave it sat on their drive/call the scrapman in a great big FUCK YOU to the rest of the buying public.

When you are woken up at 6:10AM by someone peeing on your bed, you would think the day could only improve.

 

NOT SO.

 

 

There has been about one hour without arguing, refereeing, preventing violence, wilful damage of property, shouting and being ignored. Matt probably had a better day at work. As a copper.

 

 

Altogether now:

 

KIDS!!!!

[Louise2cv]

Also my left leg/lower back/ass has decided to hate me. Hurts to sit, hurts to stand, hurts to lie down.

 

Not improving my mood.

:sympathy smilie:

[plasticvandan]

I have a big fuckoff abscess in the back lower right of my mouth,like a dick I waited 3 days before going to the doctors,when it got so painful that I couldn't talk or swallow properly. No,I'm not registered,as last time I went to doctors was 1997!

Anyway had 2 days off work,dreading going in tomorrow,and on a large array of tablets and pain killers.never had one before and sure as hell don't want one again!

Bloody time wasters. How much do you want for it?

Will give you 450 for it.

I have been excommunicated by BT see you next week sent by stolen WiFi

[Inspector Morose]

I just want a car that just works. P4 being an incontinent arse that I'm falling out of love with and the BX just isn't "right". No real time to do anything with either and it's right pissing me off.

[MarvinsMom]

oh now he wants everything!! 

 

a car what works, what ever next.

 

this place isn't what it used to be......

[Inspector Morose]

Just for once, I'd like something that doesn't fill me with the "will it won't it" and just gets on with being a car. It'd be as boring a fook though and I couldn't live with that either.

 

I'm probably just ranting at myself, just to get on with it.

[vulgalour]

Do you want to buy my Xantia, mister?

[TimothyClaypole]

I "dug" a new weed that was coming up out of the garden where I'm digging out for a garage, it was a hole maybe the size of a tablespoon - one of the neighbour's cats has managed to shit in it. 

[MarvinsMom]

we all get days where we get all pissed off with our old chod, especially when it is been naughty/pain in the arse/ plain fookin' broken..

 

also when there are a list of jobs what need doing but the weathers crap, there are other things what need doing (work and other distractions) or you just cannot be arsed.

 

and unfortunately the more cars you get, the harder it it!!

I'd break it/get it filthy/not treat it right/get bored with it within a week-been there etc. also lack of cash and coming to the busy season for me. And, and...

 

Any more excuses?

[vulgalour]

I should wash it more often, and at least clean the inside of it.  I just... cba.  Totally not like me, not even the car's fault.

[robinmasters]

According to a sticker I saw in a car window earlier, there is a club for people who own MK5 Astras. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?

[vulgalour]

Sticker, or warning sign?

[cort1977]

Is that the one with the coupe made by bertone? I quite like those.

 

Sorry, I'll get my coat...

That's the Mk4, no? And the coupe is indeed quite nice.
