The grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

Alcoholics....I used to work with a guy who drank constantly. He was known locally a D.O, and his drinking was legendary. He used to come logging with me and I was fucked if I would go near him when he was on the saw, but fuck me did'nt he work. He once got up on to the wood shed as he was being "chased" by little green men....he promply jumped off the roof, about fifteen feet but was ok and carried on working.....he was moaning one day about being thirsty and did'nt have any cider so we gave him some brake fluid in a plastic cup, fucking idiot only drank it straight down....and was fine....he was never allowed near the winch tractor....ever.....Most of the time it was funny, but he could be really agressive and I had to pull him off his wife one night as he was trying to hatchet her to death.....My old man is a heavy drinker and used to beat my mother regularly, fucking shitbag......he also beat his second wife badly, as a result I have nothing to do with him. He is a grade A twat...

As yes, wife beaters. What a bunch of complete cunts they are and no mistaking.No 'e-muscles' been flexed here I promise but a good few years back I had the displeasure of living below some wanker who'd get pissed and leather his missus most nights.One night I waited for him to come back behind some shops and gave the twat a good fucking shoeing.Scum of the earth and pathetic, sad bullyboy fucking wankers.I love a good few pints/spirits on a Saturday night but the day I start trying to cause fights or get arsey with my missus will be the day I stop drinking forever.

I thought I had it bad living in a flat above a deaf guy. The problem was he liked watching porno films and had no concept of the volume control! NOT funny when I was trying to entertain a lady!

Speaking of noisy neighbours, I live in a flat with massively thick walls, but one thing that annoys me is when the Newspaper delivery driver takes 11 attempts to close the broken sliding door on his shagged Transit at 3am in the morning. Oh and the other week, a bloody dustbin lorry started doing things at half 2, they must have been taking the piss.

Spot on there Cavette, spot on.

Hmmm... Well what a week I've had!!!!I want to set the record straight regarding my ex's attempts to block access to my two and a half year old little boy.She through the domestic violence accusation in court, the first time I knew I had been accused of it was five minutes before we both had a meeting with the judge! Apparantly I had "displaced" her during a row whatever that means! What she failed to mention is that she had hold of our son, who was 4 months old at the time, and was at a 45 degree angle to me trying to push me out of the bedroom for having the audacity for trying to retrieve a shirt from the wardrobe! Now the only reason I "displaced" her was to keep the pair of them perpendicular and away from harm. I would not and never have ever hit a partner. Why does she have to lie? All I want is to be a good father to my son. I wish her no harm and all the happiness in the future.Rant over! I'm sorry you have had to read this!

[Mr H Sceptre]

Sounds like you're going through a whole world of shit there Warren T. Hope you get it all sorted amicably and you ex stops accusing you of all that nasty wrongdoing.

Thanks! My solicitor was well chuffed 'cos she didn't make a RAPE allegation!!! which is apparantly commonplace with scorned ex partners!At least the nice lady judge saw through her and granted me interim access. God bless common sense and the British legal system!Roll on Sat morning when I can see my son for the first time in 8 months!

[Minimad5]

Great outcome Warren !Happy for you :)And massive respect for not giving up !

Thanks! Some things are worth fighting for!

8 months! Wow! Bet you can't wait.

[warren t claim]

You bet!!!!

[Cavcraft]

Nice one Warren, can't even begin to imagine what it's like not being able to see your kids.

[Cheggers]

Not even 9am and I've already had my piss boiled!!Just seen an advert on GMTV (I know, I know...) for some poxy oven cleaning stuff, which featured a gormless looking twat cleaning the oven using said jollop. While he scrubbed away pulling the sort of faces usually seen on a 5-year-old, his missus is stood behind him with a stern face and folded arms.The strapline to all this..."SO SIMPLE, EVEN A MAN CAN USE IT" Now, I don't find that in itself offensive - I just don't find it funny either. What has made me so cross is that we had years and years and years of people (wimmin, generally) wringing their hands and bleating on about equality - rightly so.Can you imagine the fuss if I were to produce an ad for a new type of wheelbrace with the slogan "So simple, even a woman can use it" and a dollybird changing the wheel on an Austin Ambassador!!Equality my arse.And breathe...

Congratulations

[Cavcraft]

100% agreement, saw that earlier too. Having said that that that advert is probably still better than the smarmy, drivelling shit that is 'This Morning' with it's pointless, airheaded wanker presenters.Ps: love your avatar!

Nice one Warren, can't even begin to imagine what it's like not being able to see your kids.

It's utter shit

Yes it is. I should not of needed to go to court just to see him. Fortunately there is a little light at the end of this very dark tunnel. It's difficult to argue with an ex who not only lies but BELIEVES her own lies.

This stuff does work brilliantly though. Our oven was full of baked on crud that seemed like it would never shift in a million years, after using that Oven Pride substance they look like brand new.The bag used is very big- im sure the prooduct would have some automotive uses. I agree though, the ad is a bit sexist but then us men dont whine about these kind of things!

[RedSparrow]

I hate these sort of adverts, and the way this kind of light hearted moronic sexism is creeping back on to the telly.For further idiotic male stereotypes see also:Tool station advertMcCoys advert...really wind me up.

[chester drawers]

Self scan tills again. Gave them another chance today.A non-existent security tag was detected on my chicken & bacon sub. Please wait for assistance.The big queue at 10 items or less would’ve been quicker. Back to the nice ladies it is then.

[Father Ted]

I dislike most television adverts.

I dislike most television.If it wasnt for the wife there is no way I would bother with cable / satellite, as it is I dont watch it anyway. All this fuss about the beeb cutting back services like Radio Asia - so they bloody well should do. There is Ch 4 for "minority" broadcasting and shed loads of smaller local broadcasting stations if you want to listen to prayer calls and bhangra music. Racist? No - its just that the Beeb have spread themselves too thin trying to cover everything.BBC - get your arses in gear and start churning out some decent programming again.

The BBC have really got lazy latelyThis makes me chuckle everytime I see it.

I think you're right about getting rid of minority programming to a certain extent. In Australia the ABC is a much smaller force in TV and they get other channels to cover things rather than trying to be a jack of all trades.

[chester drawers]

^^Shall be massively pissed off if 6 Music goes. Apparently it’s got less than a million listeners though so I imagine it’s doomed.I don’t have a TV license (house still a building site) and there’s so little I want to watch, I may not bother with a telly when I move back.

[seth]

Me to. I hate the concept that the Beeb think we'd be better off listening to commercial radio. I hate commercial radio. The adverts drive me mad.

[504GL]

Have you tried last.fm ? It's quite good because you can ban tracks from ever playing again if you don't like them

[chester drawers]

^^I can't stand the commercials either. Mostly though I can't stand the playlist of 6 songs repeated every day for a month (sorry we've done this before on here I know).

[Mr Lobster]

TV - We got rid of our Sky susbscription last year as we hardly watch tv and that little bit that we do watch is on Freeview anyway. If the tv died tomorrow though I wouldn't be laying out £400 or whatever to replace it. The money we saved on Sky got spent on National Trust membership as we thought that was a far better use of the money and gets us out and seeing stuff.Radio - Been done before of course but most commercial radio is rubbish. 6Music is a minority station so you can see why it's going. It's not bad though and has some decent presenters. Would have been a better idea to merge 6Music and Radio 1 into one entity I'd have thought thereby getting rid of most of the dross on Radio 1. As an aside, I picked up a car yesterday in Carlisle that was fitted with a DAB radio. Brilliant! Why these aren't yet standard fit in most / all new cars is beyond me.

We've got a Pure DAB highway thingy which we use in the Subaru. Tis an excellent thing
