The grumpy thread

Insurance companies.

Foreign ebay twunt who claims his bag of 20 dice only has 17. He's obviously a lying sack of shit, but nothing I can do other than take the shaft.

 

Also wankers in charge of the buses in Leeds. I used to come out the station and every 8 minutes there's a 'city bus' that goes in a big loop round the city for 50p, and drops me outside kinky girls place. It's now the #5 service, goes exactly the same route but that'll be a quid plz. Get fucked with your 100% price rise.

Pfffft..... Paid out for a British Gas central heating insurance a couple O weeks ago, and a free service was included.

Booked for today, guy turned up, and looked at my good old Johnson and Starley dry air heating unit which has run effortlessly since I was 3 years old (Bought my mothers house off her  ) . He looked and said - You really need a upgrade to radiators and boiler mate. ''Why? its ran fine for years''

''Yeah but they are obsolete now''

''No they are still making them I do believe sir ''

He just gave me a surly look and grumped ''Looks like a look drag out service this one'' and mumbles

''It shouldnt be it was serviced by you lot last year''

''He didnt do it right then - its covered in crap''

''Hey ho - fucking British Gas innit''

He rather spent more time hammering on about a new radiator system , and fecking Nectar card discounts than bother with my service .

He did in the end reluctantly give me a full safety pass. But still insisted on calling his 'BG promoters to give me a call back on changing my system''

Its March the 4th now and for the first time this year I say

FUCKING CUNT !

Ordered a new car for many many thousands of pounds. (foolish I know, but someone has to buy new cars for them to eventually be shit old ones right? I'm doing us all a favour!)

 

I was supposed to have it by now, but they're running a week late. No big deal, I half expected it TBH.

 

 

Got this email today:

 

Would it really bankrupt them to brim a pissing Abarth 500? What's that maybe £40?

 

Obviously I'd rather they take care of the fuel and I'll do the radio myself tbh but I won't hold my breath

 

nay, nay, nay its the law that YOU got to get a pez station shot when you collectionise your new bloater

BG have been trying this on with my parents for years, theirs has been condemned and un-condemned again a few times in the last decade, mostly because BG are incapable of sending someone out with warm air quals and experience.  They've just put up the contract for servicing by 40%.

 

'Rents aren't convinced that radiators would be an upgrade mostly because it would involve major works in every room in the house.  J&S are apparently the only people who make warm air heating to a UK scale, and warm air is excluded from the 'all heating systems must be grade A efficient' requirements for another couple of years because their only A rated unit is a hopelessly unreliable condensing one.

[Louise2cv]

I worked for British Gas he will be under pressure to sell because not only will his bonus be linked to sales (as well as number of jobs over quota, recall rates and making appointments in the scheduled timeslots) but he will also be receiving an ear bashing every month in team brief for not selling enough from a manager who comes from a sales background rather than a plumbing background. Plus all the phonecalls about sales, lack of sales and sales competitions.

 

He's just doing his job I'm afraid (on the sales chat anyway).

 

 

Just before I left they were announcing "sales coaching" sessions. Urgh.

[Pillock]

Yeah, they'll make pennies on a service but it's a great chance to paint a picture of doom unless you upgrade to the latest thing which handily nets them thousands.

I would reply with the most obscure radio station you can find and ask for that. Also ask for 5.28 in petrol as well

From about 10pm yesterday to about 5am this morning I have been talking to God on the big white telephone.

 

 

Oh G..God..ooh...BLLLUUUURRGGHGHTHTGHHTHFHJN

Jesus fuck....oh christ, Hurrrpphhhhh

Oh God not down the nose....BLURBFKNKDHDHHBJBLURUURH

 

I am not a delicate and dainty chap, when I puke its massive full-body convulsions and difficulty breathing. The entire street probably heard me.

 

Got a load of work to do today but I am way too fragile so its likely to be spent huddled on the couch eating plain toast.

[cobblers]

I'd be lying if I said I hand't been on the Wikipedia "United Kingdom list of defunct radio stations" page last night.

[Angrydicky]

Sick of cold, wind, rain, and it being pissing dark the minute I get in from work. I hate winter, it's not going away fast enough.

It's lovely, warm and sunny with no snow, here in The Southâ„¢.

[conkerman]

PH. Or more specifically the utter, utter asshats who use it in greater numbers. I am amazed BV72 continues to try. Reading some of the crap over there makes me want to smash the world.

 

Even though I am pretty new here If you want to see a forum that 'isn't what it used to be' you know where to go.

 

Autoshite. Stay Awesome!

[Cavcraft]

Over 3 months now since the minor accident with my car and have I had my excess back from the 3rd party's insurers? Like fuck. It's now me chasing the useless bastards as my insurance company aren't going overboard to help.

I agree the site is full of utter cocksockets, BB part of the forum is pretty good and I've made some good friends on there but would quite happily go on a killing spree against 95% of the people on the rest of it.

[conkerman]

+1.

 

Even though I have a GS...

There you go then. Three phone calls and 20 minutes and I've sorted it myself with the 3rd parties insurance. Cheque en route.

[skattrd]

Cheque en route.

 

And you believed them ... oldest line in the book, cheque in the post,

It'll be next to my pile of warranties.

[FakeConcern]

Who's tried to drive an auto that won't idle? I don't want to do it again!

[cort1977]

Just press both pedals at once.   I realized my Dad had ben doing that for ages when I drove his auto Carlton once and it kept cutting out.   'It never does that to me' he says.

Yes! My yank used to do that. Fine when accelerator is pressed but foot off and it stalled. Not easy in an auto. Scary sometimes too.

I tried that, my left foot keeps thinking it's pressing the clutch!

[HH-R]

Special thanks to the truck driver that not only made me brake like fuck in the wet in the outside lane of the A19 by just lobbing on the indicator and pulling out, but thought it OK to tailgate me about a minute later before a roundabout.

[HH-R]

I did think it a pointless moan since it's like that most of the time here!

 

On the positive side, my roses have bloomed more over this winter than they have over the past two years.

[chaseracer]

Cheers to the shaven-headed twat in the black LHD E-class who brake-tested me after barging past on the M6 earlier, then tried to push me into the barrier while inviting me for a bout of fisticuffs on the hard shoulder.

 

Don't think so, psycho.  There were trucks in the other two lanes - where did you expect me to go, exactly?  Isaac Newton and Descartes would have won that one...

Getting conned!

Bought a right lemon last Sunday in the form of that 406. It's all fixable, but fucking hell, 'drives perfect' as the advert claims it does not.

Try having 80 miles ahead of you with both wheel bearings bonking away with a trailer full of car behind you. The clutch is fucked. It Judders from a standstill, shaking the whole car. The central locking locks when it feels like it. Left the car running and it locked the doors with me outside. The ciggie light is so full of food particles, detritus and general fluff and crap I couldn't charge my sat nav and got lost.

 

I bought a rear quarter for an RX7 from a scrapyard in Wigan. Got a quote for 100 quid or 160 delivered. Went in last week and paid up front and collected it tonight. The rear quarter was fucked but it's cut out and paid for now. I find out the sheisters have charged 200 quid on my card.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

How come, if you went in and paid for it in person?

Did you test drive it?

[Cheggers]

Why, oh why have Portsmouth council decided it's a good idea to dig up 2 adjacent roads (for different reasons) at the same time. Both would make an ideal diversion for the other, but with both out at the same time it's causing chaos...
