The grumpy thread

[trigger]

I am cross that Farmville isn't loading. Tried everything, any suggestions?I am even more cross with myself for being cross about something so trivial.Massive fail.

Get a life! I do hate those games, Drives me mad that everytime i look on facebook all i see is updates from friends who have got a new chicken or donkey or something on there farm, I've never even played it.

[myglaren]

I seem to recal Kraft shut Frys down not that long after they took over , Its the way of the world now , NO job or company is safe unless its undertakers , nursing homes or plumbers

actually undertaking is in decline, more large companies are buiying out the small independant companies and centralising their resources....sound familiar anyone??

Brilliant - my daughter has just embarked on the training to be an embalmer/funeral director :(And paid £6,000 in advance for it.

You DO know you can turn the game notifications OFF, don't you... just click 'hide' when one appears and you can opt to hide all the friends posts or all the applications posts. Simples.

[RedSparrow]

Yeah I have turned the notifications off cos some people find them annoying, and plus I know some girls.

[CIH]

Asked a girl out at [just after] work.Didn't go well.

Never mind, eh ? When I did the phoney jockey gig I couldn't stand to be around 99% of the females on the department. They were mostly self important, self-obcessed bitches. Fit though. Well, a few.

What? Real Girls? What are they like???Back to Internet - 3 Mobile Broadband (for which I pay £17.50/month - though TBH that was so I could get a new laptop on the tick) anyway 3 Mobile advertise speeds of upto 7.2MBS.Utter Bollox.So far I have had 56 KBS and bugger all faster. Honestly it would be quicker to write a note and tie it to a pigeons leg than use this pile of shite dongle they sent me.

[Pete-M]

Broadband prices? Don't get me started. Virgin Broadband with their magnificent "£15 a month" deal. The one that costs £26 a month if you don't pay by direct debit, don't opt out of paper billing etc.Oh, and my insurance company are still a useless bunch of wankers. The BMW still isn't on the database even after 15 phone calls. I sense a cancellation coming up.

Generally uncooparative.

That has to be some kind of record, even by the pathetically shit standards of Adrian Flux.

A drain on financial resourses.

They don't call 'em 'Wallet Vampires' for nothing.

if I just want to buy a scotch egg (regular occurance)

I have noticed that the Tesco Scotch Egg seems to be the snack of choice for many an Autoshiter.Which is handy because they are pretty damn tasty.Anyway, a bit of grumpyness.Why do employers not get the concept of 'companies get the staff they deserve'? - If you treat your employees like shit, do they not realise that morale becomes ever lower and people get increasingly fed up, less productive and basically lose any motivation to do a good job? Seems not sadly.

+1. Don't see much point in Facebook at all. If you have friends / relatives all over the place then maybe I can but otherwise seems a bit pointless to me.

[dollywobbler]

What makes me grumpy is the fact that every few weeks, we seem to have a grump about Facebook. If you don't like it, don't use it!

I prefer their Pork & Pickle pies myself. They keep for longer.I agree about the job thing. Management buzz when staff stay back late to see to the inevutable wanker customer who shows up asking for 20mins of work, 5 mins before closing, but they don't even pay us to be there, never mind proper overtime rates. Really boils my piss when they come running up, having left their crap to the last minute, then get all self rightious when I tell them I've just done a 9 and 1/2 hour day (without any formal breaks) and am now going home kthxbye etcSo now I give them the big FO, especially as I'm working my notice yar!

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

I've just had to walk down to the charity shop to buy back some of my records. Thanks Dad! Clearout's going well then?

Estate agents.Lying BASTARDS!That is all.No, wait... Thats not all.Solicitors.Incompetent BASTARDS!When this is eventually sorted, I am never moving house again

[Father Ted]

1) - Commercial for bloody Plumbs cotton sofa covers. If I hear that stupid bint say "Im absolutely delighted with that" once more I will put an axe through the radio.2) -Commercial for Autoglass and Gavin with his special brummie resin.Unfortunately I have a chip in my windscreen right in the prescribed area and may well need a trip to see Gavin for an injection of hi special resin.Twat.

Completely agree. Twats, the lot of them.

[Rusty Pelican]

Nout to do at work for ages then three emergency jobs in at once , why the rush , is it life threatening or something , nope its just a electric motor running needless crap.

In one of my more sad moments I was listening to American radio via the interweb and they have the same advert over there but with different voice actors. Even the jingle is the same.

[warren t claim]

Cage Fighting and MMA bollocks. It seems to attract the dregs of society like flies around shit.A couple of years ago Liverpool hosted the "Britain's Hardest Doorman" competition. I can't think of a better way to project the city in a more positive light....

[Cavcraft]

/\WHS.I find the majority of people that like cage fighting/similar crap are the sort of keyboard Conan/two pint fighters of the universe.Yh M8 did u c dat fella frm Lundun? E waz wl rock an e kiked da uvva geezas hed in.

To me it sounds like being trapped in a lift with Purple Aki...

[Cavcraft]

ROFL at Purple Aki, did you ever see all the spoof pictures of him? I've got them on my pc somewhere if you want to see them.Did you get your pm by the way?

He is a living legend!Thanks for the pm. I will be followed up.

[myglaren]

Windows 7.

 

Installing an Advent laptop for a friend and it is going through the install/config operation and playing cheesy music and has a naff American voice-over explaining all the shit they have shovelled into the already shit IE8. Most of it nicked from other browsers.

 

All very crap BUT the volume controls are disabled so I have no alternative but listen to this crap.

 

Tossers.

I'd be plugging a pair of headphones in.

Good idea and there are three pair in front of me. Fortunately it is over now and Firefox installed.
