The grumpy thread

[fairkens]

The Europeans have just about won that round. Called "how to take the piss out of the British"

You know, that thought occurred to me after a couple of glasses of decent vin rouge last night. However given that European management want to 'restructure' the team and I was trying to stop them being 'restructured' it could not have been more poorly timed. Another time another place and it would have been in the grin thread

 

ETA to be fair to be fair

[garethj]

Yeah but you could get a XXXXXXX!

 

Well, that would be cool but we have enough cars!

 

'Starts to look on eBay'.

 

 

I hate internal dialogues, they can be very unreasonable.

I agree.  My current car is economical, reliable, fun to drive and fits well within the current family budget of don't spend any money on cars.  So why am I thinking of getting something else?

My current car is not economical (uses three times as much as the Alto) was reliable until this mornng (when the starter packed in), is fun to drive (I enjoy it anyway), I have no family budget, it's all mine to waste as I choose, which is why I'm now thinking perhaps I do need a spare car, ignoring the fact that I already have one, (but it's 100 miles away and I don't want to drive it in winter if at all).

 

Sensible head, which wasn't on at the time, says I should have kept the Alto, stupid head is telling me it might not be too late after all to buy another low-slung "sports-car" for the winter.

What I meant was....

 

The obeyed bit sounds like your partner is a dragon and life would be shit under the thumb.

 

It may be an "in joke" but neither of you should be in slavery

 

My wife is my best mate, we argue about twice a year, we predict what each other needs, I'm always doing as much as I can to make life easier at home etc

[vulgalour]

yeah, but, right, at the end of the day, like, whatever.  You know?

Lousy thieving rotten scum theiving bastard scum bastards.

 

 

A couple of months back my yard got a visit from some light fingered spanner weilding wronguns. They stripped a MGZR to a bare shell and also had a wander around taking random objects - I knew they had taken the K&N air filter from my capri because they left the bonnet up but I didn't know until this afternoon that they also went underneath and took the back box as well.

 

This is especially annoying because it's a 2" system and a standard box won't go on and it has a load of very specific bends to clear the axle and fuel tank. I bet the bends are cut off and in the bin and the box now hangs below a horrid hatchback of some sort.

[MarvinsMom]

i think it it predates Rumpole of the Bailey,

 

 

 

"She Who Must Be Obeyed, She who is eternal.... "

 

who is of course .... SHE!

 

there is an older, black and white version of this film, but i couldn't find a picture from it, sorry...

[myglaren]

The 1965 SHE with Ursula Andress - was that the one?

 

 

Also:

 

 

[The Moog]

Since being ill last week my hearing is fucked. Loud noises/ high pitched sounds hurt.

 

Not sure if it is worth a trip to Dr as I can't see what they would do. My mum had genetic hearing loss which started with high pitch sounds

[chaseracer]

Alfa Sele-speeds are to be burned, crushed, shredded, powdered and buried, right?

 

HELL YES

To be fair, me and SWMBO are like that.

Rider haggard wrote the book in 1886.

[MarvinsMom]

the exhaust pipe finisher on the drivers side of the XJ6 fell off today, well, it didn't fall off, i pulled it off when i found it drooping at an odd angle this afternoon.

 

better i pull it off than it fell off on the M1 or something.

 

the system on that side is well crusty, i was gong to see if i could bodge the finisher back on, but think that just changing the exhaust on that side at least would be a better and more appropriate solution. 

 

i have a full XJ6 exhaust in the loft so i need to dig it out.

 

i may well leave it until the spring though as i think that there will not be that many more days this year5 when the Jaguar comes out to play.

[michael1703]

To be fair, me and SWMBO are like that.

In your humble opinion?

 

[jakebullet]

I must be the only man who needs a manual on how to use the cock. Without going into too much detail latest attempt with my kinky girl has resulted in damage to said organ.

[Timewaster]

There is plenty of written material on the subject.

 

Perhaps one for Amazon rather than your local library.

[tooSavvy]

Alfa Sele-speeds are to be avoided, right?

Cousin of 'Renault QS5' (as dumped on legion of flip-flop wearers foolish enough to purkase a Savvy Auto).. Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You sound like someone who's learning to drive and has been given the keys to a Sherman tank...

Is she trying to kill you or something?

Slide it in, then out ( of whatever your chosen orifice is, it need not be a human or other mammal)

 

Repeat as necessary

[Lankytim]

Snapped banjo string? 

[Cheggers]

She's supposed to have a coil fitted, not a fuggin mousetrap

[jakebullet]

She fell over and bent him. Lovely bruise this morning.

[Cheggers]

You do know sex is supposed to be enjoyable?

I don't know, I'm finding junkman's efforts pretty amusing.

[Lacquer Peel]

Jesus God.

Was a lot of alcohol involved? I think it's her who needs the manual.

[HH-R]

I had to look up what "SWMBO" meant.

[vulgalour]

Great, I now have the Hokey Cokey song in my head.

Horrible, sorry to hear this, its bad enough making up exhausts the first time. Sounds like you need a camera on the place.

[the judge]

Been there before. Stripey cock. It will heal and be less tender. Be sure your instincts will kick in again once all is well.

 

You will just have to wear your 15 stone earmuffs for a couple of days. Then proceed to hammer from behind so you have more control over mr wiggles.
