The grumpy thread

Is it wrong I think that Bentley SUV looks quite classy in the flesh?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

'fraid so.

[UmBongo]

Strange fuckers round here, walk their dog and actually do the pick up the shit in a poo bag bit then carry it around for a bit then randomly drop/throw the bag of shit in the street , They are actually going home with the dog so whats the point of shrink wrapping the turd in the first place?...I'm baffled !  

 

The dumb tossers think there's a dog shit fairy who will fly in and bin it for them.

 

You should pick it up, run after the offenders and give them a special pat on the back

I've not seen 1 in my neck of the woods yet,probably have to travel up to Billyshire (Chester) to spot them in the wild.......

I must admit the latest Discovery Sport looks better in the flesh than in pics

If you look past all the "it's just a Freelander in disguise" crap that seems to be etched onto the foreheads of some LR owners it's actually a decent car.....

Is that thing acksherley slightly smaller than the Brooklands/Mulsanne...?

[michael1703]

Urghh that looks shit

[Richard]

It just looks like an appliance. I've already forgotten what it looks like.

My Focus is the newer 2013 shape and it's bloody lovely, easily the best newer car I've owned to drive, only downside with mine is the slightly gutless 1.6TDCi lump but with a 1.0 I bet it's a gutless unreliable bag of wank 

FTFY

Bentley really do now make the " fastest lorries"

[purplebargeken]

That is bloody ugly as fuck. 

[JohnDeere]

I thought that Bentley was some sort of Ssangyong till I zoomed in.

Errr.. no it's not. I've driven two, one with the Pug 2.2 lump and one with the supposedly marvellous new engine. Both were utterly unpleasant and shit, and noticeably worse in almost every way to the Freelander 2 #orlmodernz...

Sitting in my room playing PC games, start hearing my parents shuffling about. Short while later Old Man knocks on the door. Open it and he's fully dressed - "I'm taking your mum to A&E, she's in pain".

Knowing she has back problems  that have been particularly bad this past year this is very, very disconcerting news (especially as it's not happened before, though she barely left the house for 3 months at one point) but I asked her what was up, and it's her shoulder that's apparently the problem.

Fuck knows what's going on, but I'm just sat here home alone now, not knowing what to do or think.

[Ghosty]

She's been X-rayed now, waiting to see what's going on. Old Man keeping me informed.

[purplebargeken]

Hope it is minimal stuff mate

[Station]

Good luck to your mum Ghosty.

Just requested another couse of steroid from the doctor - if what I have is asthma I cannot control it with an inhaler which is worrying - only prednisilone tablets work but they have serious long term side effects.

The Mrs had this 20 odd years ago and said to the doctor exactly that to which he replied cheerfully 'if you don't take them you won't have to worry about the long term'

 

There are loads of inhalers, she has dry powder ones (because allergic to the propellant in the others) with a steroid in with it so the worse you are the more you get but when ok you are not getting steroids!

As the weather is/was nice/lovely I decided to carry on trying to re-colour the drivers seat on the Mazda. After faffing about for hours mixing various shades of tint to get it right, I have applied a nice even coat to the seat and let it dry while I took the dogs out.

 

It's now cream with a purple tinge, not what Mazda had in mind at all!

[Tamworthbay]

Wait til you see the front.

 

have they had a good deal on a job lot of chicken wire or something?

[Ghosty]

The mother's been sent home and told to spend a couple of weeks on ibuprofen and to see if it clears up. She can hardly do anything though as she only really has use of one arm...

[retrogeezer]

remember when Hyundai put those wanky Celica style lights on the Coupe and ruined it?  Bentley clearly don't.

Clutch release bearing started making noises of complaint last week.

It'll be alright for a bit I though.

On the way to work this morning and bang clatter crunchy crunchy, clutch pedal is on the floor.

Fun* drive home with no clutch.

This weekend I was mostly going to be scratching my arse, boozing and watching 6 episodes of the new X Files

but now I'll have so much fun* with spanners.

Still, 380000 on this clutch isn't too bad......

 

And I still can't find a replacement van (Jumpy/Scudo/Dispatch/Expert) at the right money/millage/condition combo.

Getting to the point of thinking about leasing

Changing the clutch will be much more entertaining than watching that recycled shite...

A couple of them were dire, but on the whole I enjoyed the new series. I've got my fingers crossed they do some more.

We were in B&Q getting some paint & they ask us if we have a B&Q card. Mrs FC replies "Yes, but I've already binned it!"

(just realized this should be in the antidote thread-never mind!)

I tell them I don't have an email address, they can sod off, as you say inbox will be full of shit in three seconds flat.

Kinky girl had migraine. This makes her sarcastic and generally very sweary. She then states I'm going to go get fuckin' pissed. I persuade her to stop after a pint. Unfortunately not soon enough as migraine kicks up a gear thanks to alcohol. Entertaining* to have a naked woman to drag around who's lost the power of speech and the ability to walk.

 

Fortunately half hour in bed in dark brought her back round but I was shitting bricks.
