The grumpy thread

[LC Torana]

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. 

Snap.

 

Can't say any more, but she's utterly lovely but only 25.  I can't remember ever being that young.

Glad to see, that in true Autoshite tradition, that this topic is top of the pile on Christmas day...........

If your girlfriend's Irish mother offers you "a small glass of Poteen as it's Christmas Eve", be like the kids from Grange Hill and just say no

No, I'm not pissed, Eva's lego set is missing 2 pieces.

Best wishes to your sis, thank god for the hard working souls across the country who are working on Christmas day to look after everyone who needs help.

Hope you find them

 

I remember the disappointment of the day I got my much wanted Lego pirate ship and found the masts were missing. Mom contacted customer services and they sent the masts plus all kinds of other extra bits.

[beko1987]

It's been cobbled together, seems we had 3 incorrect bits left over.

 

By lego I mean a peppa pig building blocks playground set...

[Pillock]

Hope all goes well for your sis Bub

[Louise2cv]

Glad you sorted it, hope she is enjoying her day

[bub2006]

Fucking XM has decided it doesn't need it's fucking airbag or suspension check lights on the dash. No idea why. MOT is up soon and if it doesn't sort it's shizz soon it's getting pressed.. Fix one thing and something else breaks instantly

Idiot sister had eye operation 12 days ago, 'cos retina detachment risk. They told her be 6 weeks before you're fixed. Due to go back and see vets on Wednesday for checkup. IS has decided it's not worked. Ma is playing ZOMG! what will you do if it's not worked?

 

I'm thinking FFS, wait till Wednesday and get the opinion of man in the know. I am, of course, wrong to 10 decimal places. Heartless for not joining in the general panic. A bastard for sleeping at night. How can I be going playing hide the sausage with kinky girl when I could be staying at home moping and shouting why Why WHY?

 

TL:DR

Relatives.

Driving car down country lane in Wales, suddenly drive through flooded part of road at least 1.5 foot deep in water. Absolutely shat my pants. Was fine, thought I'd got water sucked into engine.

[Barry Cade]

Been on call all day. No drinking, no going for a walk down the beach, and no one has had the decency to break down, or even have a flat battery. This means I have had no gain for the no drinking etc. I got a metric shitload of alcohol for crimbo but not off till Monday, when everyone else is back at work. Same at New Year. Hmmph.

[fairkens]

Flipping floods can fuck right off.

I bought new wipers for my Juke and the wife's a2 off eBay. The A2 has one big wiper the juke has one big one and one little one. 1 out of 3 fitted, which was the big one off the Juke. The small Juke one has a different fitting and the one for the a2 may as well be for the millennium falcon .

It's bad enough having to do nights over the Christmas weekend.

 

I'm having to work with a stinker of a cold - I feel like my head is going to explode. I can't stop sneezing and my eyes are streaming that much the skin on my face in raw from the rubbing with tissues.

 

Commiserations to those caught in the floods - much closer to home now Rochdale has copped for it.

[purplebargeken]

Just getting over the christmas cold. Thank fuck it never affected my sense of taste.

 

Nose glowed like a nuclear reactor.

My daughter wanted to go to the Greyhound Park ('out of town shopping experience') and it's HHS usual madness of sweaty fucking knobweasels desperately trying to buy tellies etc.

Currys was ace fun, she spoke to a nice sales girl, got what she wanted and we waited at the side of the tills as requested.

 

Some stupid bint said loudly 'THE QUEUE IS HERE YOU KNOW' so I TD my daughter to just ignore her. Anyhow, the inevitable happened and we got served first, so the scruffy little old boot started kicking off only to be told she was in the wrong place and we were first as she'd served us on the shop floor.

KERCHING! Take that you stupid sweaty old bat!

Pissing rain outside. Never mind, I'll watch one of the new DVDs I got for Christmas, and maybe dose off for a bit.

 

But no. Windows 10 has buggered up the DVD drive with an update I didn't ask for. Again. The update also changed all the default programmes. Again. It took a full hour to get Wifi working again after the last update, on top of the hour that the update took.

Supposed to be getting together with family at my niece's house today. She's phoned to tell us not to go because the village she lives in has been cut off because the Irwell has burst it's banks. She hasn't been flooded,but there are houses literally around the corner from her with water up to the window Sills.

[beko1987]

The meriva decided to wish me a happy Christmas by making the pipe coming from the back box fall off.

 

It was rusty as fuck, and I only replaced just the centre the pipe for the mot as I couldn't afford a backbox as well. Euro car parts for 8am Monday then I think! Sounds a bit chatty now, luckily there's 2 big mounts on the centre pipe 8 inches from where it's failed so it's not dragging on the floor

Only stopped raining here a short while ago. Now, if it doesn't start again, I have to haul my backside outside in the dark to fit a tow bar. Deep joy*.

[michael1703]

Had a visit from the man from the ministry on 22nd Dec which was the last day I worked,I've got to do an mot in front of him in January,which in itself isn't a problem,but the workshop looks like a bomb has hit it.I'm going to have to go in and have a tidy up next week.

[DeeJay]

^Tell him you've had a Renault 20 in.

He'll understand.
