The grumpy thread

The cat hates you but you weren't listening to it tell you.

 

This is the only way it can get a simple human to grasp the message.

Mine hasn't shit in the bath today, she's had a stinky slash instead.

 

She isn't up to much lately, her thirst is getting worse, think she isn't long for this world

Easy to clean up I suppose.

 

Damn :(

 

Our elderly kitty is still losing weight despite being on the optimum thyroid meds, I fear the same :)

Not fucking impressed. Stored stuff in a friends garage when I split with wife. Been to get a few bits to find the tarpaulin I used to keep things Dr has vanished,storage boxes rooted through and full of Water with power tools in there. My impact gun amd sockets are missing along with numerous sockets,ratchets,spanners etc. What isn't missing is fucking wet from where the roof has leaked. Not happy at all

Fb for sale pages and the mongs they attract .

Need gone 2day ! What sort of language is this ? Grrr

I do agree, but sometimes those adverts are ace because the seller gets pissed about by penniless morons, then ambulance chasers like me step in and get a bargain but with even more money off!

If you need any tools Bub, pay me a visit I'll be ready for another sell out soon.

Yeah he clearly hates me, he pissed on it again earlier.

 

Driving back to Chesham, from my mum's in Maldon, I got off the M25 at Watford and my Transit decided it would much rather be naturally aspirated, so it ate its own turbo in a rather noisy fashion.

Pulled over with epic smoke coming out of the back end, disconnected the boost hose to see a good amount of oil pissing out, left it disconnected and plugged it up to stop it grenading the whole engine and drove home with no boost.

 

Very slowly.

No but really, bub, who's granny did you throw under a bus for all this?  Here's to hoping karma gets its act together and sorts you out with something proper nice to balance all the crap.

I don't know angyl, I mean I try to be a good person and do right. The twats know if use my tools please put away. Now I've lost a he'd load of star bits,torx sockets,ratchets,spanners, impact gun and bits etc. Fuck knows where they gone.

Posted

Good news,found my impact gun an sockets. Bad news sockets been immersed in water. At least can be cleaned

I was gonna go into full blown rant mode, but I'll do it TL:DR style instead.

 

Colleague who does the same thing as me; likes to sleep around; off this week due to operation; I've spent all day sorting out the mess that she has generated thereby not allowing me to do either the shit she has offloaded that she should have done, or my regular stuff; oh and she's being turfed out of my employers by the person who she had an affair with (on the quiet, except that she's a blabbermouth, so everyone knows) to probably get a promotion and effective pay rise even though she's absolute shite at what she's doing now. She'll either get found out or do it all over again, it's apparently all that she knows.

 

And that's the TL:DR version!

Selling an old phone on Gumtree.

 

So far i get texts "u still got nexus", i reply and never hear back. What is the fecking point in texting then.

 

Someone wants not only to get £40 off the cost but wants me to deliver the thing 40 miles or so away! If i didn't need the money i would smash the life out of the fecker with a massive hammer and save myself the hassle.

Please, no more pissing contest or "hilarity ensued" threads! I come on here to cheer myself up reading about crap old cars not my "fuck up/maximum wankerage/terminal velocity by milk float" is better than yours.

 

I'm a bit tetchy at the moment due to excessive family health problems and this is making my one salvation from the real world a bit dull to be honest.

 

Que the "well why don't you start a proper thread" debate for the next ten pages.

 

I don't want to. There were many posters whose writing skills far outweighs my meagre efforts but they've seemed to have pissed off somewhere else and anyway the threads will have been buried by the time I get to read them.

Posted

I'm kind of the same, but I just don't click 'em.

 

I've always got time for photos though.

I thought it had been pretty good on here recently. Perhaps were need a motoring chat forum for stuff that isn't Autoshite but also isn't off topic.

I'm with Andy FBP7 - more so, if anything.  I'm very tired of searching through lots of "let's start a thread for the sake of starting a thread" stuff in search of the few gems about keeping unloved old cars going. For this reason, I'm saying goodbye.

 

Princess Craig's suggestion separate section for Pistonheads stuff sounds good to me, although I'm not sure it's what the majority of people who are on here now would want.

 

If anyone is curious as to what becomes of my fleet, or is interested in occasional spots of pre-92 cars, I'll be on Flickr.  I'll probably drop by here from time to time.

 

It's been fun - see ya.

I'll apologise if my threads since Friday fall into this category skizzer, I know it's not an old car but it's all I have. Be sad to see you go chap b

Timewasters. They seem to be coming out of the woodwork right now. It's starting to get beyond a joke...

Would be a shame to lose your input, hopefully we can improve.

 

I actually thought for late autumn it was better than previous years with bonkers collection threads, roffles and a few good content threads like triggers dolly.

Indeed. Things aren't going to get better if the qualz0rz folk depart. I apologise for getting seduced by one or two of the 'mindless' threads...

Skizzer, don't go all Flickr! For one thing, I hate it since its upheaval a few years back and now I've found out it's deleted my profile and lots of photos. Fuck it.

 

It'll only get better by sticking with it and improving the quality of the threads. The whole problem is that, by attracting all around to us and becoming more popular (my god, Autoshite is slightly popular shock!) we've seemed to have diluted what it was really all about. It does seem to have lost its "few friends up against the bar" feel and turned into "wetherspoons on a busy Friday night".

 

Some people like it. Look at wetherspoons on a Friday night, it's popular but it's filled with, no doubt great people, but just not the sort you'd prop up the bar in your local with.

 

Autoshite is what it is. I'm not as comfortable with it as I once was but times change I suppose.

 

But I 'ain't going nowhere. No ones forcing me out of my seat in my local.

A 'Piston Heads' type sub section would be great, but we have an off topic section and any new section would probably either be hammered at first, then ignored, or just roundly ignored from the off and the 'what's your favourite car beginning with C' threads would reappear on here instead. 

 

Is anyone else saddened that people are excited/upset by an effing fizzy pop lorry coming/not coming to their town?

You can't please everyone. There was obviously a few things annoying skizzer on here as he'd mentioned it a few times. Hopefully he'll come back.

As I've said before the click bait threads generate a lot of content as it's easy to join in the conversation . The build and update threads sometimes look like no one in reading them as it's hard to put more than "that looks great, well done" so they drop down even though it's the gold most of us are looking for.

Your Wetherspoons analogy is exactly right, I think - and by the way, this rather undermines your earlier point about your writing skills :-)  

 

Don't get me wrong, there is still some really excellent stuff on here - it's only a couple of months ago I was thinking we were on a real high.  And I know it would be much more constructive to stay and post more 'good stuff' (other opinions of my posts are available ;-) ), but I'm just finding myself increasingly frustrated and grumpy.  Maybe I just spend too much time on here and need a break for a while.  I'll still come by from time to time though.

No mate, wasn't meaning you at all :-)  Far as I'm concerned, what you do is the heart of Autoshite.  Hope you get it sorted.
