The grumpy thread

Space hopper might be a decent option - Ivan Dobsky liked his and he never done it....

[beko1987]

Fucking hell Bub, You've made it this far and deserve a bloody medal - Wish I had the monetary over flow to sort you out with car etc....

 

WE NEED A FUCKING HELP BUB FUND!

We sort of do. Need a Vectra C 1.8 Sump, 2 wheels with tyres and ABS Sensors/a scrap veccy C to pillage said parts from! 

[bub2006]

Even just one tyre, sump and abs sensor will suffice!

[fred]

More than happy to donate a bit of bunce to the cause

[bub2006]

Thanks fred,greatly appreciated, don't want to part with the vectra after spending 350 on it then a tyre and buying rad pack but it upsets me every time I see it here why I toyed with selling it but no way would it fetch what is spent let alone purchase cost

[fred]

Well if you find a bit you need - post it up and I will throw some much deserved pennies at ya

[bub2006]

Thank you I appreciate that

Kinky girl + PMT = not the best day out of my life.

 

Starts out she's been crying 'cos been to see mental people n they upset her.

Went to cinema which was ok apart from other people's bastard kids.

Came out and she has mega mardy on that she's paid 10 quid for hair cut and they've fucked it up the fuckers, and she's going to burn their fucking shop down.

Then morrisons must die because their bread doesn't defrost properly to make fish finger sarnies.

Go to bed. No sexy time. Wake up. No sexy time n knee to plums to make sure I get message.

 

Usual Ma face on on return home.

 

TL:DR

wimmin.

what do you tell a kinky girl with two black eyes?

@bub2006....Man, I don't know you from Adam...just on here and have been following the threads with your various mishaps. Shit DOES happen, I had a month where I wrote off 3 cars, 2 motorbikes and put my girlfriend in hospital with a smashed leg that she still limps with fucking 35 years later. All the accidents were of various fault, various causes and literally happened within 5 weeks of each other. I got all sorts of shit from people, especially one of the motorbike ones were I wasn't even insured and the fall-out from that went on for six and a half fucking years. Just dust yourself down as best you can, chalk it up to experience and try as hard as you can to put it behind you. Shit really, really does happen and then stops for the same apparent lack of reason that causes it. I wanted to lay down and die that Christmas (all happened at the end of one year - 1980.) and couldn't see ever been happy again. Just don't give up.....

Do ebay sellers really think we are all stupid? I have been watching a car for 3 days which ends early tomorrow it has had no bids on the starting price until 10 minutes ago when a bidder with feedback of under ten and who has only bid on baby dolls before suddenly bids.....grrrrr why just why.

[Lord Sterling]

I've deactivated my Facebook account and blocked a shit ton of sites in my browser in an attempt to be a better, more productive person. Autoshite is not on the block list, consider yourself privileged shite lords...

 

I have found that as a largely miserable person having to endure "normal" people really grates with me, online in particular. Add to that the fact I'm generally known as an abject failure with a lack of talent, horrible taste in everything, who is a disgrace both as a person and a "car enthusiast" and is blessed with natural incompetence * and internet communication simply becomes a recipe for disaster.

 

I'm also compulsive, despite hating this online conflict stuff I frequent these sites constantly, at the expense of things I'd be better off doing. Things I'd rather be doing. It's unhealthy and is causing issues in my life that I'd rather not have. Since I just read something, instantly lost my temper, started a fight with a hard wood door and yelled obscenities at the top of my lungs for a quite some time I've decided to make some effort to tidy up my life somewhat before I do myself more damage than bruising or my neighbours have the police come around to make sure I haven't murdered a hooker or something.

 

Well, time to clean my house I guess...

A bit belated, a little long-winded but I hope this might help...

 

Your certainly going the right way and have the right goals. Deactivating Facebook is no bad thing. I don't have it and seem to live a fairly normal life without it. Yeah, some people can be a bit taken aback by how your not on Facebook like it's some sort of online limb or summat but I just take with good grace. Usually an answer of shrugging your shoulders and saying "Can't be arsed" suffices in my experience.

 

You needn't "endure" so called "normal" people. "Normal" people aren't normal, they are pieces of existing mutations that are usually programmed to not think for themselves because it takes too much effort and time. Personally I find people watching a great pastime, quietly chuckling to myself watching them trying to figure out simple stuff and creating opinions on general stuff in life without any sort of real evidence or using "internet evidence" (some of that happens here). Trust me, it works, you'll forever be wondering how these perceived "normals" actually get through life with injuring themselves mentally/physically plus providing yourself with free entertainment.

 

You are yourself chap, your tastes are your own and are suited for your own self, not to please people like most other "normals" try so hard to do. Getting themselves into debt/losing self respect just get 1 positive comment from some unimportant person. I find it genuinely fascinating how these "normals" form thier own tastes simply to please others.

 

I know this is an old adage; but you might find others disparaging attitudes to you or your tastes a wierd form of jealousy, you have your own mind yet they have no confidence to be themselves. Odd, but it does happen. This I do know.

 

Lastly, getting angry. I used to do this, particularly when it came to online stuff. So much so that I even offered out a couple of people before. People can have very wierd opinions of the world. Sometimes they can say hurtful things because of this perceived "freedom/just sayin" bollocks. Very few people think about others anymore and will say things just for click-bait or reaction. Again, I'm very well aware of this, you may have seen stuff I've posted in the past. Back in the day, I'd get very angry, but a wise old member on here said something simple; it's only the bloody internet, internet opinions aren't real - this is partly correct, but opinions are opinions, internet or not. Whilst it can grate on you, sometimes the best thing is to stay away from certain sites/threads and let those site/thread users tangle themselves into yet even more shit opinions.

 

For me personally, getting angry now takes up too much energy and time and achieves nothing. Doing something practical or ignoring it does.

 

Basically, this long-winded post is really trying to say is; Be yourself, be proud, do what you wanna do and bollocks to others opinions of you/your lifestyle. Take a laid back approach to crap things/people/opinions and you'll be on the road to recovery. It'll be a bit difficult to stomach at first but first steps always do.

 

If you fancy a chat, please feel free to PM me.

[garbaldy]

Well said /\ that man, I get sick to death of the facearse mentality, why aren't you on fb friends ask, because its full of arseholes bragging about alsorts of shit I reply,

Then I get why have you got so many cars when they see six parked in my garden, I reply that's only half of them the rest are parked at the yard,

People should just be left to do whatever they choose without having to suffer criticism,

Live and let live I say.

[michael1703]

And another reason not to be on Facebook, you get groomed by men who force you into doing things you don't want to do

[philibusmo]

To be fair to Facebook though, I got groomed on Autoshite by men into buying a Hyundai Pony.

[cms206]

Have had to book an MOT at a cost of 30 quid for an MOT'd car which I can't tax to drive home. Grrrr.

[xtriple]

I love facebook!

I love it for the simple reason that I can marvel at what utter mongs 90% of people are, and that amuses me! It's also useful for actually keeping in touch with people that are far away (lots of friends in the USA and Australia) and I like all the clubs on there.

 

You do get a certain amount of dross, but I just laugh and move on. I don't tend to post much on there anyway (just about the dogs usually!)...

[MarvinsMom]

i've never bothered with faceache, i've never felt the need.....

 

but i am a miserable cow though.

[Crusty Sills]

Never been on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media (except Here) and have never felt the need to be,

Work started to investigate staff members after some negatives posts went on and a few lost there jobs!

[Christine]

Spent most of yesterday daylight fitting an ebay  reversing camera and mirror on my T4 , hidden wiring, neat insallation.. bloody freezing fingers... connected it to reversing light wire this morning... and it's shite .

[bub2006]

Bollocks. Exhaust gone and window fone all French.

[brownnova]

You know that thing where you submit a lowball bid on eBay, and you get a notification saying "You've won"

 

Yeah, that.

 

Did not expect that!! Hmmm...

 

Now to break it to the wife! At least its only a very small fee and it does have MOT!!

[HH-R]

I was in Lidl today for some coffee and milk, seemingly every numbnuts in town had come down to buy an entire trolley of Christmas food. Besides the fact that there's weeks yet, how much food exactly are they planning to eat? I reckon even after people have overindulged, most of it will go in the bin. The supermarkets aren't even shut for long, you're not stocking up for a nuclear war. In conclusion, I was delayed for ten minutes and the world is in disarray.

 

Sadly Lidl and Aldi are popular nowadays,it was much better when you were seen as a penniless loser for shopping there - empty car park, no queues, no knackers chatting in the aisles. I keep having to find more down at heel and shabby looking places with shadier looking products to avoid people.

Autoshite and eBay fulfill 99.9% of my internet needs.

you mean porn is only 0.1%?

[Cavcraft]

Yeah, I'm that big fat bastard in a fluorescent coat riding my bike slowly through town. You were the one who's mate tried to hold you back as you crossed the road, but you shrugged her off and walked right in front of me without even looking. That's possibly why I said 'try looking next time' and that's probably why you told me to 'piss off.'  And that's definitely why I shouted 'FUCK OFF YOU FAT COW.'

 

Probably a good job electric cars aren't that poplier at the moment, or there'd be a lot of dead shoppers littering the roads.

[Split_Pin]

Not so much of a grump, but more of a topic that gives me a knitted brow. There was a good short in Practical Classics about how driving a Citroen Ami has made the writer realise how drivers of new cars appear to buy into the notion that their cars take them from a to b faster than ever before. As a result, the authour feels intimidated. I feel exactly like this on my daily commute in my wee old car, but this also makes me angry, fucking fuming in fact. I end up at work with a big spike in my stress level for that day. Its only a matter of time before I get out of my car on one of these occasions and get myself into a situation that will only end badly for me, whatever the outcome. I need to find a way to manage my anger when some cnut in an Audi is on my arse. I have a sticker which says "YOU GET CLOSE-I GO SLOW" but it only diffiuses things to a point.

[Parky]

I have often wanted some sort of LED board in the back so I can send messages to other cars like "Bit too close thank you", or "Don't make me ask you to back off again" followed up by "I am a schizophrenic and have a large knife on the passenger seat. I am now going to follow you home. Thank you"

 

No doubt it would be abused and not used sensibly as suggested above

[plasticvandan]

Try riding a 40 year old Honda C90 to work,complete with giffer screen and topbox!

I just have a sticker saying "paid for and in front of you" tbf,I couldn't give a shit about all the arseoles racing to go to work,I have a nice pootlethru the country lanes,and arrive relaxed knowing the cost of two tyres on their Audi would keep me in fuel for a year.

And another reason not to be on Facebook, you get groomed by men who force you into doing things you don't want to do

Yeah, sore point round here. 15yr old lass that my daughter went to school with met up with her new Facebook boyfriend last week. He was late 20s. And so was his mate, it seems they spent the weekend doing horrible things to her and they found her body in the woods on Tuesday.

 

Grump is that kids don't seem to want to be kids any more. It's all pushing boundaries of what they can do, how long they're allowed out, a thousand mates on Facebook that they have no idea who they are etc. It makes it way too easy for awful shit to happen. I'm pretty sure when I was 15 I was all Hornby and Airfix.
