The grumpy thread

[SiC]

Just warmed up some stake and kidney stew in the microwave for only a minute and a half. Not that hot when I took it out but just touched a bit of something kidney I think, and it fucking exploded!

 

All over the kitchen and a clean shirt I'd just put on....

Two cycle related grumps from me.

 

First Captain Cockwash in an Astra who, after overtaking me then decided to turn left very sharply and very quickly (with no indication of course), which nearly wiped me out. 

Today some travelling penile infection in a (new shape) Scirocco just had to overtake me in the city centre, then swerve in front of me at the lights 20 yards in front. I bet you felt great about that, just a shame the fat bastard on the mountain bike was in front of you still 1/2 mile or so later.

I deliberately slurped a miso soup at my desk to annoy our team p.a. Little victories and all that.

 

No doubt she has mailed HR.

 

Once I found out that the fetid old hag that was my head of department at Shitbag College had a problem with the smell of fish, I lunched on sardine and chilli sauce sandwiches as often as was humanly possible.

I've seen this but I thought it had to be mixed. I literally just touched the bit of food. Maybe it had blown up like a bubble and I popped it?

You know those jobs that sound like a piece of piss and will take no time ?

 

Like replacing the line on a rotary clothes dryer ?

 

Sounds like a piece of piss, alright ?

 

 

 

 

Baaaaaastaaaaaardssssssssss !

 

 

What's wrong with a normal washing line that goes in a straight line anyway ?

Just had a call from my neighbour, her little dog that I love to bits has managed to get out this afternoon through an open window, while they were out, every other time he's got out he's come to see me, I was at work today, i really hope he's ok

What you want is one of those hand held air horns powered by a gas canister.I had one of those strapped to my handlebars 35 odd years ago.It won't stop the idiots,but it'll make you feel better.

[twosmoke300]

Or that bike that someone bolted a train horn with air tank onto .

[robinmasters]

If anyone wants it on here and promises to look after it I will consider selling it at a decent discount.

I think Airzound horns are quite loud. http://www.airzound.co.uk/

I decided I couldn't sit around knowing he was roaming so me and mrs fordperv went out looking for him in my car, my neighbour rung the local vets numbers we gave her and after 45 minutes of looking for him she called to let us know she had just got off the phone and he's at a vets he got found by a kind person and they took him up to them, i am so chuffed he's safe and sound he's a lovely little fella

Someone brought a train horn into the garage once and asked me to test it with the airline. My compressor is a 10hp jobbie delivering around 35cfm@150psi, and we were in a tin shed. Ow.

[Ghosty]

That package I thought I was getting was something I bought on eBay for a mate and had sent to his place in Salford...

I bought an earlier model Airzound 20 years ago, and I can confirm that they are indeed quite loud.  Only problem is the air tank is quite small so one sustained angry blast is enough to pretty much empty it.  Mine still works fine, but is perhaps more solidly made than the current model (air tank is alloy rather than plastic).

The Autoshite facebook page is bent as fuck, someone posted a very nice XM belonging too their elderly mother whos retired from driving, one of the admin starts stiffing around it it asking if it's for sale, i point out that its probably worth quite a bit a bit (42k X plate 3.0 V6 Executive with 1 owner last registered one of it's kind) so admin deleted my post after telling me to shut up... Not good form.

 

[dollywobbler]

Can we get it shut down?

[trigger]

I'm saying no names but I'm not impressed.

 

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

It looks the tits mind you. Is that the same engine ad the 406 and gooner V6's?

[Timewaster]

It seems to share a driveway with a C6 and a hi spec C4?

 

Clearly chevron enthusiasts so they are unlikely to give it away to a chancer.

[Dave_Q]

I would think that if enough of use go on farcebook and Report the group for it's blatant infringement of AS copyright, they will probably at least have to change the name.

Thats moody as feck that. Dissapointing.

[chaseracer]

You're lucky you weren't summarily banned, Trig... 

[timolloyd]

Ugh. BMW X5 with personalised plates and braying brat kids.

 

Seems almost impossible for owners to park these discreetly, which seems amazing given how boring the car looks.

TOP TIP

 

Driving in teatime rush hour traffic? Need to answer the phone but don't want to get fined? Simply stop dead on the Tees Flyover and put your hazard lights on to take the call, then pull away again when you have finished your 5 minute chat. Nothing will happen and you absolutely won't gridlock the whole of the northbound A19 and the A66.

 

I couldn't believe it - a Black Golf did this at half five yesterday, I assumed it was broken as everyone squeezed into one lane but no, she put her phone away, turned the hazards off and pulled away right in front of me.

[andy18s]

Well,yeah....hazards going on allow you to do pretty much anything......didn't you know that?

[chaseracer]

Well,yeah....driving a black VAG allows you to do pretty much anything......didn't you know that?

The continuing saga of trades who don't want to do ANYTHING out of the ordinary. Got a valeter/detailer chap out to sort out my water stained bootlid, he had a bit of a go then declared he needed some special/magic stuff and would be round on Saturday morning (today). No show/no call so just rang him to be told various people have said it's impossible and needs painting, so he's not coming.

 

No call.

 

No apology.

 

Ho hum....

[beko1987]

Water stains should come out. A bottle of lime prime light should do it, light isn't as abrasive, its more of a paint cleaner/conditioner so could lift them right out assuming they haven't fucked the lacquer etc. It may at least hide them enough to not be visible under a few coats of wax.

 

Or do the water stains simply need drying off?

Why is it so fucking hard to find a cheap workshop space? All I want is a bit of power under cover.
