The grumpy thread

[purplebargeken]

^^ Can we pull his teeth out with manky rusty pliers first. Bet they are veneered or implants. Moronic fucker. 

[HH-R]

That fuggin advert with the bloke reciting a shite poem about the coast in a really slow, monotone Yaaarkshire accent is telly smashingly annoying.

[Negative Creep]

I think people like him should be hunted as sport

 

 

What I don't get is he released a statement apologising because he didn't realise it was Cecil. So basically if it was any other Lion he wouldn't care!

[dollywobbler]

Though as a friend of mine said - unquestionably horrid, and right that the bloke is made to think about his actions, but there's a lot more evil stuff going on in the world which surely needs more media coverage? Or deserves more than this bloody lion has managed to generate.

[Pillock]

Yeah, you're right. We've not even touched on the fact that some chump walked up to the Norwich Puppet Man (harmless old bloke, sits in the city with a little set of dancing puppets and some music minding his own business) and tipped water all over the CD player.

 

NPM was doing his thing when I lived there back in 1997. Has never harmed a soul.

 

Thankfully, someone recognised the bloke and he owns a clothes shop in Great Yarmouth. A clothes shop that now has about 500 1-star ratings and a tirade of abuse on the Facebook page. That bit is a grin, the fact it happened in the first place is a megagrump.

 

As for the rest of the stuff happening in the world, that can all just do one.

^This. People just seem to sit in front of the telly/internet getting themselves all out of shape over stuff that really shouldn't concern them or give them cause to get depressed/wound up. I use visual entertainment (including t'internet) as a bit of light relief. If shit keeps coming out of it that winds me up I go and do something else.....

My Canadian boss said to me today whilst we were out for lunch in Lisbon:-

 

"Did you hear about the man in London who shot the Lion"??

 

Err yeah I did, bloody lions walking around in London nowadays.  Whatever next..

 

Honestly!!!

[beko1987]

Well its been a pants day zx wise...

 

On the way home from work, on the m40, I go to idly flick a few drops of rain off...

 

 

 

Ah, thats amusing. Wasnt raining, so carried on to the next junction and pulled over. Its snapped half the clip off on one side. Meh, got another one in the shed, I put the blade in the car and carry on. 3 miles down the road, it starts proper raining. Ffs. Almost blind, I pull into a layby, pinch the rear wiper blade and fit it to the front. Its comically small, but I can get home. Rear wiper decided it dod t want to work again the kther day, only now I can hear the motor turning but not the blade.

 

Anyhoo, get a message that a dyson I sold last week is making an odd noise. I get a new clutch and some tools ready, and head on out to fix it. Get in the car, turn it on, bangbangbangbangbang wtf...

 

The exhaust t has been getting blowier recently, I pop me head under...

 

 

Cunt, its finally failed. Must have gone when I parked up, thank fuck it didnt go on the way home... Shitz what do I do now. I messaged the person saying I may be delayed or not there at all, and raid the shed. Some garden wire and dyson cable later...

 

 

Reinforced up the centre section to take the weight off the end

 

 

Still blows, but it didnt catch fire on the 36 mile round trip ive just done. Tbh, I checked it several times and the cable hasnt even started to melt so it must not get thst hot.

 

Ruffgeezer, please tell me how you want paying, the backbox has a tad more urgency now... Will get a centre section ordered tomorrow...

 

The rear beam is a structual part of the exhaust for the time being. Wont cause any issues will it? Not going to cane it anywhere until its fixed...

[EssDeeWon]

That exhaust looks fixed to me. Absolutely no need for a new middle and rear section IMHO

[beko1987]

The mlst annoying thing is im paying for all the bits tomorrow anyway, it was the next job on the list. If it had just bloody waited...

[EssDeeWon]

^The backbox on my 75 is held up with some rope and an old cambelt.

 

I need to get a close up photo, you shiters would love it!!

I'm not defending hunting (I couldn't care either way, to be honest) but the faux-outrage shown by people who didn't even know that lion existed irks me.

 

Not a dig at anyone on here, more at the massive media storm that's doing the rounds. As others have indicated, shame that rape, murder, theft, child abuse etc etc don't generate such an outcry.

[Taff]

on a personal grump, I've just dropped Taff Jr off at his mums, that always makes me sad. The fact that he goes away on holiday tomorrow means I won't see him this weekend and that makes me even more grumpy

[The Moog]

Turbo seller is saying that there is a 15% restock fee. Fuck that, checked all the laws and under UK law and eBay rules they can't do it.

 

Thing is that I think they are Chinese supplier sending it from German warehouse so think it is going to be bit of a battle

[fred]

Drop in the ocean of bad shit in the world, but I have just seen that big twat with the curly mustache opera singer wankblot back advertising a bloody insurance advert again

FUCK OFF!! Get that fucking twat of a Dentist to shoot him with a bow and arrow and then shoot the fecker, may gain a bit of respect back

[HH-R]

@Beko, is that an ASDA wiper perchance? I had one that looked the same from there and it did the exact same thing. I was tempted to be tight and leave it boomerang shaped but reattached to the wiper arm but noticed the wiper arm was too close to gouging the glass for comfort.

[Station]

The saddest part was he was described as 'never bothered anyone'. Just a lion that did no harm to anyone and then got hunted from the back of a Hilux, slaughtered, skinned, his head removed. And then the rival alpha male will kill his eight Cubs to get a mate.

I'm guessing this is the Malaysian plane? Unless flaps just fall off planes at random.

[purplebargeken]

Sad for the lion but I really have the urge to use rusty pliers on a tooth removal fest at the moment, may as well be him. Until I think of someone more deserving.

 

Nursing - the caring profession.

[purplebargeken]

Why? 

 

Happily cycling along on a main road, keeping a decent speed, not wobbling around or holding anyone up - so why do certain individuals feel the need to hurl verbal abuse at me? I mean WTF? Luckily I can shout louder than them and swear more creatively and quickly too.

creative swearing is an art, we need more of it. I bet they don't even teach it in schools anymore. Teachers, eh? A bunch of lazy zip-sniffing piss garglers

[purplebargeken]

Ben's a teacher.

 

* He teaches the little children and is not allowed to swear at them. Ben is home taught in the valuable and mystical art of very creative swearing. Just helping him get the volume up to a suitable level.

[HH-R]

Dogs a few doors up have barked their lungs out for the past 2 hours +, making sure I've been woken up for the 500th time since their owner moved in. Of course now that I'm well and truly awake they'll probably not make a peep all day.

 

I fucking hate dogs, all my life I've had some selfish fucker with two of them barking their lungs out day and night next door.

[purplebargeken]

Not troubled by dogs here but am hassled by screaming children/ screeching parents which have a similar effect. 

[chaseracer]

Ben's a teacher.

 

I used to be one, but once Creative Swearing was made a BTEC option only I thought

 

BASTARD FUCK IT WITH A SHITTY STICK UP ITS OWN BOLLOCKING ARSE!!!

 

and moved into IT.  Proper creative swearing there...

I have no bother with hunting for food, what does upset me is the people who hunt big game like lions, elephants, leopards etc which are in demise for sick pleasure, with most people i don't think it's the fact of this one lion I think it's more the trophy killing as a whole. Don't get me started on the other crimes you've listed I'll be writing all day

No, not an asda one, a mate got given 2 by a colleague, their from a Meriva apparently. It's possible that their slightly too big for the car, and it's been flexing or straining for a while then finally went. They do have a brand on, I'll have a look later.

 

Have another one in the shed though, so will try and get 3 months out of that, then buy more from ebay!

[Coprolalia]

Trying to get the timing sorted for the Scirocco. Currently using a cheap GSF chinese pattern job that fails to proceed at whim.

 

Bosch ones from VW = £250+. Fuck right off.

I had this the other week with a black cab full of Chester race going wankers. The traffic was rammed going into town and as I cycled gently by one of the gobshites shouted 'get a fucking car'

 

Still on the grumpy but and still on the nags, the race course are clamping down on trouble related incidents by banning people bring their own ale into the grounds. Given that 102.9% of the trouble associated with the place is caused later at night from the usual shiny suited wankers, one can't help drawing the conclusion that it's sod all to do with families in cars with a bottle of wine, but the loss of revenue.

Cecil "never bothered anyone"?  Well I saw an expose on the Zebra channel that claimed he was a bully who had starred in several snuff movies.  But those wildlife parks are absolutely barbaric. Why don't they build fences to keep the species apart and end the bloodshed?  And is it safe to have a dentist in America who likes beheading dumb animals? 

 

(Small print - The guy is a prat but lions aren't on the WWF endangered list. Cecil was 13 so at the end of his life. Trophy hunting can benefit conservation, but probably didn't this time. I'm allergic to cats, so biased.)
