The grumpy thread

[504GL]

Steve Wright: Crazy, unbelievable thought I know, but how about asking a guest a question THEN SHUTTING THE FUCK UP whilst they answer?

He really is an insufferable twat. He makes the Jeremy Vine show interesting.

Steve Wright is an utter prick. On the odd occasion he plays a good song, he sings out of tune over the top of it. Ruins radio 2 for me.

Then he's got the old goat who is on for some reason and the incredibly annoying factoids. I don't like some of the radio 1 DJ's but I can see why they're popular with their target audiences. Steve Wright on the other hand? He must be very cheap or something.....

[pompei]

I can't think I've ever come across anyone who has had anything complimentary to say about Steve Wright.I can't be doing with Chris Evans either.

[dollywobbler]

He's not cheap. He costs us licence payers millions. It's grossly unfair as he is an egotistical twat who considers all his guests as 'friends' because he doesn't have any real ones.Chris Evans on the other hand I really enjoy in the morning. Don't particularly like the chap but he does leave me feeling all happy of a morn.And I listened to Radcliffe and Maconie last night. Brilliant. How radio should be. When Racliffe covers for Wrighty's holidays, it's a true joy.Oh and my Saab's a 5dr.

I don't mind Chris. I quite liked him in his drivetime slot but I have to admit he's no Terry on the morning show. WTF's with the annoying some random twat saying something nobody gives a *** about through a megaphone/traffic cone/cupped hands bit?I don't put the radio on just to listen to some random nitwit......

[504GL]

Does it have the spoiler though? Just doesn't look right to me if it doesn't

[warren t claim]

Is it too late to bump the Celebrities we Want To Slap thread and nominate Stuart Maconie?

[outlaw118]

No, I'll find it and do it for you!!

Phwoar....

 

The problem with this image is that my wife looks just like...

 

 

Which kinda makes kinky clothing a waste of money.

[Gompo]

I dont mind Steve Wright. Used to think he was incredibly annoying but I dont care so much now. He seems to play some reasonable music too. Ken Bruce annoys me more. Chris Evans was just about acceptable at 'Drivetime' but moving the show to replace Wogan, and not really changing anything, isnt to my liking. Great for 40 somethings I suppose.Typical of the BBC nowadays anyway, totally wank.

not all of us you know......

[sporty-shite]

What's boiling my piss today? Government "public service" advertising.Drink less.Put your seatbelt on.Get an ID card. Drive more slowly.Drive less.Insulate your loft.Fucking hell fire, you'll be telling me how to breathe next.Twats, fucking patronising nannying twats.

[Milford Cubicle]

Unfortunately a lot of people are so thick that they need nannying.

[CIH]

Atleast they're not playing that fucking annoying Mercedes E-Class Estate ad anymore

 

"As human beings we have the capacity for blah, and blah, and blah (blah blash blah) and real full on EXCITEMENT!!...."

 

It's an E-CLass. Presumeably the target buyer will be under medical orders to avoid excitement..?

 

oh and 106.1 rock radio, if you're in the greater manchester/lancashire/cheshire area.

[Cavcraft]

The next fucking person who offers me a fucking Ford Mondeo as a part-ex when I clearly stated I don't want one is going to wake up at 3.00am to find a fucking LWB Shogun in their fucking living room. Oh, and the business end of a twelve bore rammed down their twatting throat.

[Tayne]

[Cavcraft]

I'll park it on his poncey, pretentious head if he asks me to drive a Mondeo

[dollywobbler]

Indeed!! Some way off yet thanks. I guess Evans is a bit like Top Gear a few years back. A bit silly, a bit childish, some good music (TG used to have some STUNNING music on those flashy, beautifully filmed sequences) and fairly harmless. Just hope he doesn't also start trashing Marinas...As for Ken Bruce - yes, he is getting annoying. Especially as you go from Chris playing all sorts of cool old stuff to KB playing crappy modern pop shite. Sort it out Radio 2!

[Cavcraft]

I like Bruce, he's fairly inocuous and very easy to listen to, plus Popmaster is unmissable.Jury's out on Evans: couldn't stand the twat at one time but absence may have made the heart grow fonder as I also utterly despised Wogan for a long period of time but grew to really enjoy his show.

Look on the bright side. They didn't offer you a Vectra!

Bastard Merseyside Police.£60 fine for no MOT!The next time a Police officers son is caught threatening myself and a pregnant girlfriend with a firearm I might not be as willing to accept an informal warning in the police station rather than dragging the prick through the courts and ruining his fathers career. Wankers. So much for Karma.

Seems like a good deal as the price of an MOT is £54.00 plus whatever the repairs cost.

Did you not have an MOT then? Surely you cant be too upset about getting busted for no MOT, if you actually had no MOT.

[Cavcraft]

CAR INSHURANS 4 KIDZ.Need to get Cavette junior driving asap (his works want him to be able to drive) so I got some quotes for him and I on shared insurance.Yeah, it's wank and he needs his own to get no claims etc but I thought a few months or a year of driving experience would do him good.He can't go on my current insurance and thus we need a small cheap runabout for him to learn in.So I get a quote on a (year) 2000 Fiesta 1.25 shitter, value a grand and TPFT only.£3,100 with me as named driver No fucking wonder some people don't get insurance, it honestly must be cheaper to risk it for a biscuit and pay the pay/take the points if they get caught.That is NOT an option in our case I hasten to add.

[warren t claim]

Can you still rent a car from Arnold Clark with dual controls? I think it used to be about a tenner an hour.

[Pillock]

Crikey, does your MoT man bring one of his fleet of Bentleys to work or are they for his French Chateau?I pay £40 for a no-appointment, drive-in jobbie and the coffee and magazines are pretty good in the waiting room. £54 sounds steep!

[retrogeezer]

£54.00 is the standard VOSA cost for a car MOT (up to 8 passengers) I think I also paid £40 for my last one, lots of garages discount it a bit.

[Cavcraft]

I didn't know and will look it up, cheers.Plan B is to get shut of the V70 (auto) and get a small (manual) car he can learn to drive in in car parks etc, or better still a scruffy 4x4 so we can go off-roading and I can teach him how to use the gears and clutch.

[Cavcraft]

She doesn't drive unfortunately but thanks for the suggestion.To be fair I've only had one quote (from my insurers) and they admitted they were not the cheapest as they didn't specialise in insurance for youngsters.He wants a (BL) Mini ideally but even the quotes on them were stupidly high.

[myglaren]

Try different cars - one of the lads at work wanted to insure a 1.4 Fiesta and they asked stupid money. He got a 1.6 16v insured for half the cost.A family saloon can be far less than anything remotely like a "Hot Hatch". My youngest paid less on her Saab 900 2.0 16v Turbo-S than for her Mini.Also, get a friend with no claims or convictions added as second driver - NOT a family member, that can drag the premium down considerably.
