The grumpy thread

[dave21478]

Kill your ma and take over the house for yourself.

The girlfriend will occasionally have to wear your mothers skin to keep up the pretence that she is still alive.

 

Its what everyone else would do.

[Cheggers]

Ma has face on 'cos I've been at kinky girl's for a full 24 hours. It's turning into an impossible battle. Ma is taking it that I've been at home for 42 years, so I owe her 42 years back of looking after her 'cos she's looked after me. (ie washed my pants). Kinky girl meanwhile wants to know when I'm buying a house so she can come and visit me. Could be a while as I'm not conventionally employable, so would have to buy cash.

 

TL:DR Tits or wheels it'll be trouble.

 

Wisdom of the collective welcomed.

Please take this in the friendly and helpful spirit it's intended...

 

Shit Dude, you're only 8 years younger than me. My advice is to get the hell out into the world and live life while you can. It sounds like you're having a great time with kinky girl, and while you may not want to commit your life to her, she represents the life you could be having if you broke away from your old life at home.

 

The danger is that you stay to look after Mum (ask yourself, does she REALLY need looking after yet?) and when she finally passes away you're left with 30+ years of life left and you're starting from scratch with fuck all clue where to begin.

 

You come across as a lot younger than you are, and I mean that in a good way speaking as a "young" 50 year old. We're only here once (*other beliefs are available) and it isn't for long, so don't waste what you've been given. You don't want to be lying on your death bed saying "if only...". My dearly departed Dad had a great motto - "Get on with your short life".

 

Manly platonic hugs and a virtual beer.

 

Thus endeth the lesson

Nah, don't make her do that. Just do what Norman Bates did.

[jakebullet]

Good advice mr. Cheggers. I basically did Uni, then went spacker and 20 years drifted by. So it's all very new, and kinky girl is the first one I've felt "she's the one" about. Or the first one that's actually blind enough to fancy me back.

[Cheggers]

On reflection, I think dave21478 has hit the nail on the head...kill & skin Ma, WCPGW

Jake, Just move in with kinkygirl. Who knows how it will work out but it'll be fun finding out.

[The Moog]

And whatever Ma says she is your mum and will always want what makes you happy.

Although that might not mean she'll give you a basket of lube and a book on full anal as a moving out present.

Seemingly an endless supply of miserable and intolerant (mostly elderly) people walking dogs on the beach lately.. Ok, so Lytham St Annes, well known for retired folk.

Our dog is a three year old bouncy lurcher. Loves to play with other dogs and not a hint of aggression ever. Have been moaned at by a guy with two labradors because my dog played with his dogs. His dogs loved it, but he wouldn't have any of it. Moan moan... Agressive dog etc...Put his dogs on leads after catching them (they didnt want to be caught, as having FUN) then shuffles off whinging. Ten minutes later a spaniel runs over to play with our dog. Dogs have great time, lots of running around and chasing only to have the owner come over and grumble about his dog getting wet and 'your dog is a nuisance' comments.

Never had any complaints anywhere else. Our dog would never harm another dog ever. Too soft.

Grumpy. Spoils a nice walk by the sea.

We're on the other side of this. Jack, our rescue Staffy/Jack Russell cross, doesn't like other dogs. Don't know why, apparently in the rescue centre he did and they put frightened dogs in worth him because he was so good with them. They seen to think now he has his owners he is being protective of us.

 

Because of this we only let him off lead when sure there are no other dogs around. Some times he ignores other dogs, other times he barks and pulls at the lead do we have being taking him to a dog trainer and trying to coach him to look at is when seeing other dogs.

 

It is a massive pain in the arse if a dog runs up to him, especially if the owner is not in site/miles away and the dog won't return to them.

Just because you think/know your dog won't hurt our dog doesn't mean our dog knows this.

[Louise2cv]

Yep. Just because your dog is nice, doesn't mean every dog is. I certainly don't trust mine and get very nervous if other dogs approach.

[vulgalour]

I used to have to walk Blake with a muzzle on.  He wasn't dangerous, but if he took exception to someone for no reason he would nip defensively at hands in a 'keep away from me' type gesture that could be misconstrued.  With training and patience I was lucky enough to get him to a point where I could let him off the lead but I could certainly never trust other people and dogs to be as patient with him as I was so always erred on the side of caution.

 

Sadly, there are enough variables in dog walking to have to make sure you introduce dogs to one another, and to people, in a safe and controlled way.  Two dogs playing becomes two dogs fighting in the blink of an eye, no matter how nice they are normally.

[beko1987]

Talking of dogs, I nearly hit one just now...

 

Took Eva out firework hunting, and was coming back to thame on the main aylesbury road, 50ish, slow potter etc. Saw what looked like a bag in the road. Slowed a bit, incase it was a brick or something, was a little fucking dog running towards me, then it stopped.

 

Anchors on (found out my car brakes very hard nice and straight, so bonus there) but thought id hit it. Didnt feel/hear anything, pulled into the layby I was alongside, shit shit shit etc.

 

As I got out of the car, 2 others pulled in behind me, "theres a dog running in the road", fuck, its still alive, thank fuck. I ecplain to one of them that I have my daughter in the car, so cant go after it, and 3 people go running after it as it legs it the other way, me and another lady flag cars to slow, which they do. Lady goes off with the others.

 

I hang around, put the heaters on for eva amd open the window as theres some fireworks in sight so she was happy, and after 10 mins no sign of anyine, the 2 cars still behind me.

 

Fuck this I drove off, no sign of anyone anywhere, but at least I didnt hit it.

 

Not ashamed to say I let out a girly scream as I saw it vanish behind the front wing, was only a small dog too. Hope its been found, wish I could have chased after it myself but not with eva sat in the car on her own at the side of a nsl road

[mat_the_cat]

We lost our first dog in a car accident - the Asda delivery driver didn't close our gate, we didn't check and he ran out on to the road Nobody stopped, although it must have been a big impact to do that to a 30 kg dog 

 

That's not my grump though; it's the postman. When we moved in here we put a US style mailbox on the gate, to save the postman walking up the track to the house (maybe 30 seconds or so). This was partly because it seemed like we only got any post every few days, whenever enough had built up to make it worthwhile. It didn't seem to help that much, but we can live with that.

What has really annoyed me is that I ordered something Thursday for despatch Friday, paid extra to have guaranteed delivery, only to find a 'Sorry you weren't in' card in the mailbox today (when we were in) because he couldn't be bothered to check. And the next time I can get to the sorting office is Friday afternoon!

[M'coli]

Sorting office will probably be bloody miles away: it's the delivery office you'll need to go to.

[STUNO]

he looked in the box and there was no-one there, hence card.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll get me hat.

After yesterdays successful tumble dryer repair, it packed up again .

 

Won't rotate, making a slightly unsettling buzzing sound. I think there is some fundamental internal fault which fried the element initially and has probably knackered the replacement.

 

Off to Currys to buy replacement dryer. It's not the cost, it's the "told you so" that's annoying me the most - Just once I would like to be right!

 

Hotpoint dryers can do one though. I had a cheapy White Knight before which we got shot of as it was getting noisy (probably just a £5 bearing) which lasted nine years. This super duper replacement has managed two years. Used no more than twice a week too so quite frankly that's a poor show I think.

Have you counted your screwdrivers since it went back together?

[fordperv]

Remember I was grumping about the mot work that was done on my mates cortina, i popped down to see what I could do for him regarding the fuel leak, the monkeys have only gone and buggered the pump, the threads for the unions have been stripped in the pump housing due to over tightening. Why can't people do things properly, I've ordered him another pump so gotta wait until it comes so I can sort it now

[Stanky]

Glad puss is ok. Fucking retard fuckers. Hope you find them and hurt them lots.

 

My own grump.

 

Ordered a caliper rewind kit from ebay, clearly marked FORD. Dopey twats have sent me one for Vauxhall/Opel. 

 

It really shouldn't be that difficult should it.

 

Customer pays for return postage. Oh really. It'll get shoved in the post box with a 2nd class stamp stuck on it that I removed from another letter if they don't sort it out properly first..

 

Out of interest PBK, how much did you pay for it? I have just had the back brakes sorted on the Saab, but only with the help of Doobietoo's rewind tool so I now know how good they are.

 

I may be interested in taking it off your hands if the price is right?

[eddyramrod]

Applies to pretty much every minute of my life too, I feel your pain.

[UmBongo]

Out for a good long walk this morning which was great in itself.

 

However, the amount of litter on the road side was horrendous. Also, a lot of the road signs were filthy and lopsided.

 

I feel like a Hyacinth Bucket type, but this kind of thing really gets my goat.

[Cheggers]

What has become of my life...I've just spent £35 on fuggin candles. It would be bad enough if I could blame Ms_Chegg, but I live alone.

[UmBongo]

What happened to Maggie?

[purplebargeken]

The rewind tool was 39 quid and a few pence, but that was for the Ford one. I'd sent the Vaux/Opel; one back about 20 mins after it turned up. If i'd have known, you be in receipt of it. Soz fella

 

Oh fguck, that reminds me. I have a Rover clock to post. Bugger, bugger. My memory is fucked

White Knight are very good ours is ten years old.

 

We had a hotpoint aquarius washing machine that died after 3 years - common fault (capacitor on PCB) I could have repaired it but could'nt have lived with myself if it had done an impression of a vauxhall zafira afterwards.

 

No more hotpoint.

[anonymous user]

I don't really like to mention that it was a White Knight tumble drier that set fire to my sister's garage, and according to the fire service, who attended, they are prone to self-immolation. I felt a bit bad as I had bought it for her

[Parky]

Beko fridges used to do that too.

Family grump..

 

Visited the brother in law and family today, quite enjoyed it. He mentioned he's selling a bike on ebay, and as it happens i'm after a bike to commute on, after taking a look at it we struck a deal on £40... Turns out he was given it by a mate and was only going to take it down the tip anyway.

 

just as I was leaving.. "oh, errm you can't take it now, you have to bid on ebay for it... I can't let down all those biddders by pulling the auction... plus it's collection only so you'll have to come back for it (60 miles odd), maybe you should look on gumtree for a bike or something. I suspect he suddenly wants more money for it. (it is a nice bike)

 

Are you selling it or what? FFS!

 

The number of times I've helped him out, fixing his car (including giving him brand new tyres one time) working on his house e.t.c. . When the favour needs doing the other way it's a different story. Next time he needs his car fixing he can fucking take it to Halfords with the rest of the clueless twats.

 

Fuck him.

 

If anybody fancies bidding his poxy bike up to £10,000000 then here's the auction.
