The grumpy thread

[richardmorris]

I think it's about to attack the USS Enterprise.

[DeeJay]

Bosh off a copy and sell that "Work of Art".

[LabRat]

Dealing with Scumtree mongs...

 

"U swap 4 3 peese sofa and fridge mate"

 

"Wot is being lowest accept price now thanks?"

 

"You will drive to Liverpool Docks where my colleague, Dr Ngwame, will transfer the money's to your account"

 

All this, despite me saying that I won't accept swaps/white goods/small children or take £50 for it! (Domestic Management has put the Audi of much borkage up for sale)

 

There are days where I despair for the state of humanity.

Ebay twats have been turned up to eleventy.

 

Mostly "send this asap, needed for xmas", paid 2nd class post. well hard fucking luck for waiting too late then.

Smattering of "What's the tracking number for my £1.53 delivered valve caps, 'cos it's been 2 days".

 

I so need to get rich enough to turn the fucker off 1st December.

[UltraWomble]

Document Fee?

Document Fee?

You can FRO with your £50 "Document Fee" on a second-hand bike. £50 for what? To post a V5? FRO you scamming bastards, I'll buy a motorbike from somewhere else.

You utter cuntfuttocks.

Wtf is it with people and front fogs at the moment? Not the slightest sign of fog but every twat in his/ her motr pile of shite has them on. Why? Do thy really think it's makes them look cool? Well it doesn't, it makes you look like a first class knob. Rant over.

Idiots,anyone coming towards me with front fogs on gets my fogs & main beam 

[fordperv]

I'm sick of people in their moderns with headlights that harness the power of a thousand sun's, flashing their lights at me in the dark to tell me My high beam is on, my headlights are correctly adjusted with osram nightbreaker extreme bulbs so it's not as if they are dazzling like they would with xenon conversions, i flash my main beam on which as you guys know on a sierra also illuminates an integrated spot light bulb as well as the h4. Nice and bright then

 

I don't drive with fogs on either

[Pillock]

I used to flash cars with their foglights on, but on some cars they use lights down in the bumper as DRLs so not really fair to hassle them for that.

[MarvinsMom]

I used to flash cars with their foglights on, but some cars are just driven by wankers with loads of twattin' lights on dazzling other less important road users so not really fair to hassle them for that.

 FTFY

[MarvinsMom]

I think I'm done with cars for a while. While trying to fix minor issues on two cars today I've managed to fuck them up worse than before I started.

 

I am fucking inept.

 

i wish that i could manage as well as that cos for me would be a good day down at the garage.

[Pillock]

Erm..... well I suppose they could take a hammer to the DRLs..... 

[MarvinsMom]

or just "read" the fucking instruction book, especially the bit what tells em how to turn the friggin' things off.

[dollywobbler]

Pretty sure you can't use turn them off. Aren't they a legal requirement now?

[MarvinsMom]

i though they are a legal requirement to have fitted on a new car, but that they can be turned off.

[Pillock]

They are legally required to be fitted, if there's a facility to turn them off they don't have to be on.

I can't turn mine off, and I can't see the point in turning off a part of my car that makes it more visible. They're 21W bulbs, hardly going to dazzle.

[Sloth in a bowl]

 

 

so it's a cartoonish looking orange faced munter, wearing a red hat and holding a massive blue/green phallus?

[HH-R]

If you squint a bit, it looks like a horse running towards a train.

[gordonbennet]

The only time my lorry DRL's are on is when its MOT'd or if the geezer servicing it switches the things on...if you can't see a bright yellow lorry coupled to a bright yellow tank you'd better hand your licence in at the nick, hopefully i'll never own a car fitted with the bastard things, if i'm ever stupid enough when i go gaga i'll pull the friggin wires out and reconnect for MOTs.

 

The light wars have got that bad now that the only car i want to drive in darkness is me old Landcruiser, what a fuckin sorry state of affairs.

[Cavcraft]

If you flipped it right, it looks like my dog driving one of those Cozy Coupe kids cars.

[STUNO]

I once used my DRL's, Left the lights on all day. The AA came and started it for me to get back home. Never bothered again.

[Richard]

The same goes for anything bigger than a hedgehog really.

[STUNO]

Not a grump, but the worst thing that could happen to a policeman.

In the paper today. Police called to a major high speed crash in Aus. Policeman arrived to find his 4yo daughter dead and 2yo seriously injured. Other motorists there said he tried to help but was in shock .

[vulgalour]

Difficult to complain about headlights after that, but I'm going to anyway.  Driving back from Amersham to join the M25 and found the combination of modern headlights, lack of street lighting and unfamiliar roads are an excellent nerve-testing combination.  I just love entering a corner with moderate visibility to be faced with THE LIGHT OF A THOUSAND SUNS so even the reference point of curb or reflective paint are obliterated.  Just keep steering and hope you stay on the road!

 

I'm seriously considering only driving during daylight hours which, at this time of year and with my working hours will mean never.

[rml2345]

At least it's possible. No driving in the dark in Scotland would mean using public transport between September and April. Being constantly blinded by every third car it's almost worth considering.

[Parky]

Can't sleep. Want to but can't. Been up since 1.30

 

Going to be as cranky as hell today

That's awful, I just could not even begin to think how he's feeling. I got back from Melbourne on Friday, I couldn't believe how aggressive some people were on the roads. Seemed worse than London, but perhaps that's just because I don't drive in the middle of London so have no reference point....

It looks to me like a V8 powered benefits chariot in the front seat of a Nissan Skyline

[fordperv]

Fixed that

[robinmasters]

Fucking......

I dunno, man. Where did it all go wrong?

 

Just received and unpacked the latest shipment of contemporary art my employer has bought. Canvas about 5 foot square. its literally just smears, with the occasional squiggle. No doubt its a represantation of the futility of love or some flowery pish like that.

 

8 grand.

 

Fuck off.

If he wants buy buy any more, PM me. I'll even undercut his current supplier by £500.
