UNEMPLOYED LAZY BASTARDS STOPPING ME GETTING 'MY' BARGAIN ITEMS FROM LIDL

[Eddie Honda]

And I can't go Monday until late as I work and they will have sold out, so lidl s only for lazy tossers it seems.......

Shop in Aldi then, their special days are Sunday and Thursday.

[artdjones]

It might be worth asking if they'll put stuff aside.I clean the windows at an Aldi and sometimes see things put by for people.

[Negative Creep]

Work have just lost their two remaining contracts so I'm being made redundant. Great.

[mercrocker]

And here I was complaining about having the same job for 20 years...Sorry, Neg.  That is a grump.  Hope you can get something sorted.

[Cavcraft]

Sorry to hear that, NC.

[beko1987]

That is a bastard, sorry to hear that

[Cavcraft]

Hey, Neg, let people know what you do/your location and hopefully someone on here might know of something going

Zen, Radio 2 and coffee. I've had a rather pleasant weekend stripping 2 Almera's and swapping clutches/gearboxes in the drive.

Fuck radio 2 and Jeremy fucking Vine, I'd smash my car to bits if I had to listen to that sanctimonious cunt whilst working

I went to ikea at lunchtime to pick up some kids furniture. 20 minutes to get everything I need, 30 minutes to get through the self checkout because of OAP's talking into the barcode scanners and putting their bus passes in the chip n pin machines. I really need to learn more patience. + 5 minutes for a hotdog obvz.

Panda had new discs and brakes last week, people came to view the car on Thursday.

 

Open the bonnet and theres brake fluid everywhere, its brimming. (They've topped up and then the new brakes have forced the fluid level up. Not an issue, but bad when someone viewing the car)

 

Also there was a chirping noise when braking... Again discovered by the 'viewing family'

 

Took it in today, they can't find the noise. So i walk down there and we go out and theres no noise.

 

I guarantee because the pandas a bastard that the noise will reappear when the next guy views.

I made a complete twat of myself (at least in my eyes). School kicking out time so loads of yummy Mummies with kids floating around and I need to go in the shop.... traffic is heavy and there is one space, which to my tired and weary eyes looks like it 'might' accept a large green dollop.

 

It did, just with an inch either end to spare. I was feeling so pleased with myself that when I stuck it in park I didn't think.... so of course, it rolled that spare inch, plus a bit more as the park engaged! Right into a YMs bloody people carrier!

 

Her car was unmarked fortunately but it had a funny lip thing that went right into one of the grooves in my back bumper, so damage to mine was also.... minimal! Result. Just come home and polished out the tiny scuff on the lip of said groove(y man) and as I was in the general area, I sanded all the overspray off my exhaust pipes!

 

Oh I did feel a fucking idiot though, it also happened to coincide with my French fancy walking by, she had to bloody stop for a chat with me so saw the whole sorry episode.

That's why I put the Zen bit in first, if you can remain calm and at peace whilst that is coming out your speakers, then a slipped ratchet knuckle crushing episode is just a minor inconvenience. Unless it's one of those ones where the pain waits 2 minutes 27 seconds to kick in, then all hell breaks loose.

Xtriple - just be thankful you weren't in a Landrover . It would roll forward enough when you put the handbrake on to roll half way over most cars . Backlash ftw

Thanks, at the moment I'm thinking of giving up on Devon entirely and moving back to Kent to be with my family. I am quite useless at anything sales or physically demanding. Have been in an office but also beeing doing a counselling course in the evenings. Not sure when I'll get the chop but won't be for a few months yet

bastarding oven just exploded about three quarters of the way through cooking my tea.

WOW! What were you cooking? Sounds wacky....

[anonymous user]

You are supposed to open the Fray Bentos pie tin, even I know that

[cobblers]

Steak and chips. Heating element in the oven killed itself, not done bad really though, it was here when our lass moved in 5 years ago

Anyway I've just been on ebay looking for another oven, I don't really wanna buy a new one cos we're moving this year so it's a waste.

Most local one for sale:

 

 

 

 

Q: hi in matlock, was this item fully working prior to disconnection. did you have it from new. sincerely tim
A: Hi, it was fully working, and the last item it cooked was some chicken! I've had it since new and bought it from Empire, just before they went bust during the economic collapse. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the information about the Economic collapse you dirty bastard,

[anonymous user]

^ I thought that was your exploded one

[M'coli]

Can you not buy a replacement element?

[MarvinsMom]

that is the one for sale??

 

ukkk, i don't think i'd want to eat anything cooked in that!

[dave21478]

Fucking LOL!

 

A few weeks back the handle snapped off my frying pan and smeared my omelette across the floor. Fortunately I have no dignity or standards so I just scooped it and ate it.

[twosmoke300]

Our oven ( and Mil's actually ) both had the door glass explode while cooking a roast . What a fucking mess and waste of food . Never buy a diplomat oven !

[DeeJay]

Cobblers, try looking on Freecycle.

[Pillock]

What do you need, cooker or oven and gas or electric?

[Bren]

My mother in law has chosen to leave hospital - she knows she is dying and wants to be with her family.

 

Palliative care are sorting out a plan so she will be coming back to us.

 

I would never refuse anybody their final wish.

Were the chips ok?

I once smashed the outer glass on an oven taking it out to clean it. Carefully levered the very sprung hinge out to remove it, it flicked back and bang... I may have told the landlady it exploded whilst cooking, and scared the shit out of us... she bought us a new one.
