The grumpy thread

Some awesome person has scuffed my front bumper already. I am not best pleased.

I believe if that is the Bentley you are so legally entitled to hang, draw and quarter them. Bastards.

[Cavcraft]

The best way I've found to avoid really bad hang overs is to drink more vodka than lager.

[Coprolalia]

Grind two ibuprofen, a paracetamol, an aspirin and two fizzy-make-feel-good alkaseltzers in a pestle and mortar. Mix with a pint of flat ginger ale and the blood of your firstborn lamb.

Consume at the break of first light.

Grump based on doing favours for relatives....

As a (retired) electrician am occasionally called out to do electrical jobs for mates/relatives. Old aunt called me out to repair her central heating controller and faulty fire alarm. Went out. Did the job. She then showed me two kitchen lights not working. Needs new transformers and fittings. Will get them I said, so she gave me £20 for parts. Total charge for fixing heating and fire alarm £30 plus the £20 for the lighting stuff.

She gave me £50. Lighting parts came to £18

Silly bugger now claims that she gave me £50 for materials to fix the lights and has totally forgotten the other work!

Now telling all and sundry that I am a rogue that overcharges old ladies.

I give up. You do your best and get shafted by the very people you are trying to help.

 

Edit. She also called me out last November in a panic. Her heating had gone off and would not come on again. A local plumber had been called out, didn't fix it and she paid him £70 call out charge. I did actually fix it and didn't charge her anything as ' old lady in winter' .

 

Now she accuses me of overcharging.... Am proper angry! Grrrrrrrrrr

that has made me all pissed off too, i feel your pain.

 

fookin' bastards

[xtriple]

With regard to helping mates/family with your profession... just don't! It always ends up either costing you money or bad will... or both!

 

Yes, it is the Bentley that got scuffed. Looks like someone tried to park by just pulling in front of the old lass and has kissed the passenger side bumper. It was just fooking resprayed because of that! It's not too bad to be honest, 'T' cut and some polish has most of it out but still a few marks, but worse, it has loosened the corner of the bumper and it is now slightly lower than the rest.

 

Annoying.

[MarvinsMom]

peeps today though just don't respect other folks possessions or cars and that, it just boils my piss cos you can guarantee that if it was you who kissed the front of their shit heap hp-ed car,. they would be the first to whinge and whine and start bleetin' on about their "rights" etc, fuckers..

 

as such i could not "like" a post about the Bentley getting bumped, we so, so need a "dislike" button.

[Craig the Princess]

 

Now she accuses me of overcharging.... Am proper angry! Grrrrrrrrrr

I hope you can repay the favour by laughing down the phone when she next calls in a panic with no heating.

flat Dr Pepper & a big bag of low-quality onion rings. Works a treat, IMO.

 

My grump is the new brake flexi for the Fiat turned up today but Im in tatters today with some sort of lurgy and unable to take advantage of my last day to fit and go for a blat.

 

Even watching endless top gear on Dave is failing to keep me awake

If human nasal mucus was a valuable commodity I would be a fucking billionaire. Fuck off Christmas cold!

Don't mean like the scrape! Is it deep?

 

Have you thought of a dash cam? Some are motion sensitive and will record after a bump. eBay had some at £15 earlier.

Beautiful work girl has been off sick all week with a raging cold. I haz been miserable. Now I have a bloody cold.

 

Arse.

[twosmoke300]

Off for a week with a cold ! I'm guessing it's paid sick at your place 😄

[purplebargeken]

NHS. Of course it is.

 

Mind you it is flying round the office. I am the 4th victim and no sign of it ceasing yet.

Next time, remember no tongues and you probably won't get her germs

[purplebargeken]

I wish.

[purplebargeken]

I'm 51, she's 24. It ain't ever going to happen. Although she is up for coming out for a drink with me which is lovely. 

[BavarianRetro]

24!? Fucksake. I've got jumpers older than that.

[philibusmo]

Visited docs thismorning - viral attack.

It must be bad; I understood that perfectly.

[cort16]

Can it not be windy as fuck during the day when I'm not trying to sleep ?

[Des]

I don't ever catch colds, flu, lurgey since giving gluten the elbow some years ago, but when I notice them doing the rounds plague fashion I do notice very slight symptoms, did believe them emphatic but now realise I'm actually a carrier, I am the bastard that delivers misery and suffering, merry xmas.

Mind and add on the cost of a portikn of chips every day for the authentic smell!

A bottle of vodka at 43 years old is never a good idea. Nor is two bottles of wine and a couple of shots of brandy beforehand. Oh yes, whisky, mustn't forget the whisky.

 

Roll on tomorrow. I'm going to regret this. A lot.

Oi ! No tactical chunders on my watch !

Cheats way out .

[Eddie Honda]

Hangovers? Boattle of Irn-Bru and a couple of roll n sausage. Sorted.

[Clanger]

I am not usually given to acts of self harm, yet for some reason I voluntarily watched the Mini episode of Classic Car Rescue the other night... actually, the truth is that I watched it twice as I was hammered the first time and fell asleep.  I think I derived the most benefit from my first viewing.

 

Are we really so fucking retarded that the producers of these "reality" shows expect us to believe that the caricature baldy norf lahdahn turd burgling felcher hired a couple of knuckle dragging thugs to move the car who then decided to roll it off the truck - and somehow they still managed to restore it in 7 days for £1 5s 6d.

 

Hasn't anyone taken out a contract on Bernie yet?  Or, Mario for that matter?  If there's a whip round to have them iced, count me in.
