The grumpy thread

[dave21478]

Some poop sniffer round here has started tagging everything in sight. They write the word "roveri" in purple spray pain on everything...road signs, bins, tree trunks, etc etc.

 

What is the point? no really, what is the point? Spray paint aint cheap and its not exactly an art installation - I just dont get it.

[UmBongo]

You've just reminded me, I need to escalate my old fartness.

 

6 weeks ago some twat 'tagged' 4 lamp posts around a junction near me. It looks mega shit. Filled in the graffiti form on the council website, 4 weeks later they 'fade' 1 lamp out of 4 and that's it. Sent email to the council 2 weeks ago, and nothing. Think next step is ward councillor. Not sure where to go from that.

 

WTF is this even supposed to say?

The work of a complete fucking retard if you arsk me.

[jakebullet]

We've also got some twunt who thinks he's banksy. Stencils such witticisms as "this is not here" & "fuck violence" on phone junction boxes. He prolly comes back every day in the hope to see the box being removed to be auctioned for millions of pounds.

[chaseracer]

Now, this is more like it...

 

 

 

[Negative Creep]

Get one in, you can always drop it later, but starting one later....

 

Even a few mph can make the old dome wobble.

 

 

Have now put a claim in (for damage to the car, not to my neck). Was thinking I'd just leave it but in this day and age wouldn't surprise me if she rang her insurers claiming I drove in to her or something. But after spending all that money on the clutch and radiator I'm going to make damn sure it's done as cheaply as possible so it doesn't get written off!

Some parking companies are actually criminals, tampering with photographs: http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/2015-09-10/car-parking-company-apologise-after-altering-parking-ticket-timestamps/

[chaseracer]

^ What a complete* surprise*......

[HH-R]

Hope they don't clsoe the one near me, I love their tiger bread and doughnuts. Although I still haven't forgiven them for discontinuing their fake Dr Pepper

The comically named Dr Pop? I had some not long ago.

The council by me invested in a big campaign to improve the Camborne , Pool , Redruth area and put this big sign up which had loads of corny Pool can reach new heights type bollocks all over it . It was up one night before someone went round and covered most of the L's .

 

The best bit was that it was on the 6 oclock news about the sign going up and the beginning of changes . But when it was filmed they didn't know it had been done  . The 9 oclock news had an apology .

/\ that's got to be in the wrong thread surely,

its also true as a trailer full contains enough precious metals to make a ring.

Yes, it was almost as good as the real thing and could get 4 litres for 90p

[EssDeeWon]

Just witnessed a white van pull into our small carpark at home, reverse straight through the fence, then drive off....

 

Unlucky for him I got the full registration and the name of the florist he was delivering for. Safe to say his boss aint a happy bunny, but very apologetic!

 

I hate these fuckers that drive off after clearly smashing someone else's property, I hope he gets a proper ticking off!

The 300E is officially fecked.  I can haz a little sad.

I used to live near Dogpool Lane. After a long and uneven battle with the local kids. The council gave up on fixing the road signs.

The Midlands, welcome to the home of the Knackered Merc. Soz to hear of your pain Chaseracer.

[chaseracer]

Cheers.  Prolly the KUTA needed to sort the Dyane properly.

 

Fleabay, or see whether a Merc breaker is interested?  I think I'll have another cup of tea and sit in the garden for a bit.

Yet another completely missing the point email from Parking Appeals. This time they are telling me that I have run out of time to supply the "evidence" that they asked for even though I'm still waiting (since 27/8) for an answer as to how they would like it presented.

 

Time to wait for Notice to Owner and appeal to the council instead.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Whats up with the Merc then chaser??

It's pissing ATF out of some seal around the torque converter, which is a box-out job according to Tame Mechanic.  There is an oil leak at the back of the head, as well as the normal one at the front.  It needs new front coils and strut-top bushes. It could do with a new radiator.  Also, the rot is worse than I thought.  

 

Sometimes, you just have to draw a line...

[Cavcraft]

Waiting. I despite waiting.

[purplebargeken]

Went in to work this afternoon to do a returnb to work meeting. No big deal really.

 

Pretty uneventful journey along the M25, turned off at the St. Albans junction and trundled along the bypass. Lovely day, no hassle. 

 

A414, one lane closed, 'merge in turn' signs in evidence. No problem, merging in turn, happy to do so. Mr. Twat behind me in his new black drug dealer RR decided he didn't like the idea and tried to intimidate me by flashing lights, sounding horn and getting so close I could take a paint sample. I merged and proceeded to give him a prolonged middle finger salute. I know. It was a childish thing to do but fuck it. He pissed me off.

 

I kept to the speed limit, I was driving along side another car and Mr. Twat is tailgating me like a siamese twin. I didn't brake check or do anything silly. He saw an opening and undertook me at speed as we approached the roundabout. I was taking the 4th exit. He stopped at the roundabout and started to play silly bastards, refusing to move and so on. I saw there was no traffic coming, I'd left space and checked that the left lane was clear so I nipped past, whizzed onto the roundabout and by the time Mr. Twat realised this, a rather large and long lorry was on the roundabout and he had to wait. Not sure if this should be a grump or a grin. Grump 'cos he was a twat or grin 'cos he thought he was clever and wasn't. 

[Timewaster]

Waiting. I despite waiting.

I despite autocorrect

[richardmorris]

Idiot this evening in an ex po van who decided to do a u turn straight in front without looking in his mirrors then started swearing at me for being there. Plus people who have no idea what box junctions are.

[Lukas]

I hate it when road-rage spoils my day...  Sometimes, I am too easy to provoke. 

[danthecapriman]

This is really irritating me at the moment.

That stupid advert for Confused.com with those stupid robots dancing to that shit music! I hate it! And it's on all the sodding time!

I might* know of a suitable replacement. Could be French. You like French.

[Noel Tidybeard]

cant wait for the carefonewhorehouse to ring and offer an upgrade so i can tell them to FRO cos of their adverts

 

as you were

[fred]

Insurance companies blame young drivers for hiking up prices - Bollocks - They have to Hike prices for the fucking adverts they do - stop it - stop it now none of us like em, especially now

you have brought back that fucking opera singing twat

[mercrocker]

Yeah...fucking adverts.  I hate fucking fucking adverts.   I no longer watch TV so they can't get to me any more.   Internet ones don't bother me either because I just turn the bloody page off if one starts.  Piss on 'em all.  I stopped buying Kelloggs years ago because of bloody adverts.    And remember that perennial facking Woolworth pish that used to come on at Christmas and lasted about 15 minutes?    Yeah, well fuck'em.   I stopped going there because of that.   And now they're dead.  Serves 'em bloody right.   You want to sell me something?   Just answer the bloody phone when I need something you sell.   Otherwise  -  Fuck Off.
