The grumpy thread

[Bren]

Our dog enjoys cocking his leg over the busa's front wheel.

 

However the paint is peeling off. Our dog must piss nitromors.

[xtriple]

Chesters pee seems to be the same... half the cars along this road have stained wheels where he has pee'd on them. I just repainted mine so no one puts two and two together....

 

Mind you, girly dog wee kills grass stone dead, so you pay your money, you take your choice

Does that matter? Some farmers do care about their livestock, even if they are all destined for a mucky end.

Sorry to derail the above, but Sky has got me grumpy. Not the actual sky, but Sky...

Anyway, we pay for tv. Have a static caravan in Scotland with a Sky box. The Sky card only works after a fashion at the static. Can't use most of what we pay for. The card WE pay for. So if we are at the static, with the actual Sky card we can't be at home using it can we? The robbers want us to take out another subscription. No chance. Not paying twice for the same service. How can that be ok? Is that legal? Suspect it probably is, because Sky. But not morally right surely?

You need to take the whole box with you rather than just the card.

 

It doesn't know where it is and will work fine as a paired set.

[taxi paul]

^^^^^^ what he said. Take the box as well.

Only when lambs have been weaned, but this type of killing usually makes the carcass unfit for human consumption.  Also the OP says that the farmer "had to finish the job", which somewhat implies that the ewe hadn't been killed cleanly by the poachers.  Not good.

2hrs 15 in public transport to get from Glasgow to Edinburgh . How is that possible it's only 50 miles?

[Richard]

Quicker than driving then!

[cort16]

I'm not sure . I also got on the Glasgow under ground on the wrong side si when the long way around , which didn't help.

Queens street is all dug up so it takes ages to get to Edinburgh as the trains are re routed via mordor (spring burn)

I don't doubt that some farmers care about their livestock as an asset, but sheep go through a lot of suffering through their lives.

If people really cared about animals they wouldn't be breeding, farming and slaughtering them en masse.

[Cavcraft]

I'd love to have a small holding and keep a few animals saved from slaughter.

[Station]

I'm no crash investigation expert but that's clearly a boat.

[Kiltox]

Misplaced my driving licence AGAIN and need to hire a car on Friday next week

 

Last time the replacement came in 2 days - who's betting on the full 2 weeks this time?

[Richard]

You shouldn't need a physical licence to hire a car now, you just need to give the hire company a code to access your record online. https://www.gov.uk/view-driving-licence

Is Farage going to be on it?

[Jazoli]

trolls deliberately trying to wind people up, and missing out on a tidy MGF by £5 on eBay earlier has made me grumpy today

He was on it today.

[Sheefag]

Biker indignation and impatience. What is it about two wheels and leather that turns so many of them into angry, intolerant, selfish twats?

No low bridges on the route?

 

Did you get to see him when he wasn't doing his jingoistic, populist act? I do wonder if he's just playing the part (like many politicians) and is quite normal in real life.

edited again as I can't help being annoyed by children, its because my two were little shits

[Sheefag]

What are you angry at me for?

[Cavcraft]

The exciting FPB7 would get some purple spray from Halfords and remove the 'o' the 'r and the 'y' from that tag line and put an arrow to Farage's head. Any left over spray could be used to draw a throbbing bell end on top of it too.

I'm a biker and have ridden / raced both road bikes and dirt bikes and I totally agree that many bikers are assholes .

The worst examples I've seen are in Wales where the speeds and quality of riding were appalling .

Just like any hobby there are bound to be good ones and bad ones .

[Timewaster]

A bit hard on sheefag there I thought.

 

 

I find most bikers reasonably polite road users but there is a minority of Knobs in any group.

generally it's things like being pulled out on constantly by drivers more interested in reading their texts than seeing if there is anyone coming or those that deliberately sit on the white line so they can't get by and the constant nagging of your own mortality and your life being in the hands of these idiots that gives them an attitude.

 

Like I said. Knobs in all walks of life.

[Inspector Morose]

I have a feeling that it'll be "modified" at some point without any effort on my part.

This was also the bus I was paint bombed when I was at the head of the student protests on Millbank (being used as a speakers platform).

 

Job came in on Monday night. It was still being wrapped and prepped on Thursday night/Friday morning.

 

As for Farage? I couldn't possibly comment (for now).

You have got to get a "middle eastern" outfit, a full beard and pretend not to speak English. Or be like the Bulgarian (was it? can't find a clip at present) taxi driver in Drop the Dead Donkey.

I was still in Wales leaving sf15 whwn fucking bikers overtook me slowly on a sweeping bend and left me nowhere to go when I happened upon a big rock at the side of the road at 55, wasnt going to swerve out as one biker was level with me, and didn't see it in time to miss it. I'd pulled in a bit to let them past too, but one took his time, the bastard

 

6 hours wait whilst pregnant swmbo bought wheels to me (thame to just outside Hereford, after hastily getting rid of Eva and finding someone to load the wheels for her) (took out 2 tyres), £50 on a Travelodge, £30 on pez for the meriva and home about 36 hours after I'd planned to be, then 2 new tyres...

 

Im not still bitter, promise!

No.  Twas a ewe with two lambs, grazing happily in a field and being a mum.  Maybe one day, but aren't we all mortals?
