The grumpy thread

[Timewaster]

Looking at your user name, I don't know if I believe you!

 

I'll let you know how I get on tomorrow.

Looking at yours are you actually bothered?

Pointless without pics. Pillock.

Sorry to disappoint it's not a perky boob minecraft women but a very special way of holding the phone to avoid shadows while trying to see the screen in bright sunshine. As you can see it didn't work but I thought fuck it, better than nothing.

Washing the car this evening (why does it go in the garage immaculate and come out a week later covered in shit and dust?) and the lass over the road came over for a chat, she ended up holding my hose (fnarr!) while I washed. So, having washed the heap we sat outside my gaff and had a chat/flirt/laugh and it was all most convivial.

 

So why the grump?

 

'Cos when she'd gone, I worked out how old she must be from random information gleaned during the conversation. I reckon she is 25 years younger than me! That. is SERIOUSLY fucking depressing and a good reason for a grump in my mind!

[eddyramrod]

Depressing?  Grump?  What species are you, FFS?

[xtriple]

Depressing?  Grump?  What species are you, FFS?

The species that knows I could keep up with her for about 8 minutes before old age and general decrepitude reduced me to a spent force on the rug....

 

 

Mainly a grump because I honestly didn;t know how old she is and I am hopeless at working out ages - young, adult, OAP. That are the definitions I go by but I have a problem remembering I am closer to OAP than any other! Now I am sad again...

Currently advertising for a new member of staff,

 

 

 

 

 

 

FFS! Are people really this stupid?

[320touring]

Fair enough but why not put the pay rate in the Advert?

Because the pay is negotiable depending on skills and experience.

[HillmanImp]

Bollocks.

 

 

Going to get a wet bum driving to the shops this morning.

[Tamworthbay]

Bloke at the top of the street has restored a mk1 golf, very it is too BUT it's on its arse with tyres an inch from the arches so it took nearly ten minutes for it to drive from our street to where the speed bumps end which is probably 800 yds. And the driving looked like he was on a pogo stick the entire time because the suspension is so hard. And yes I was sat behind him and no there wasn't a gap to overtake and yes I did need to be somewhere on time. Why oh why make a nice car almost undriveable?

[320touring]

Because the pay is negotiable depending on skills and experience.

fair enough- can see why it was left out. Its often difficult to know if the role is worth applying for (pay rate being a rough proxy for responsibility/experience required in the role) - to the extent that it can put folk off.

 

good luck with the recruitment-hopefully someone reads the advert and works out to call:)

all the pimply school kids on the forums will big him up and give encouraging comments lol

 

but yeah with the state of ours roads you want fat tyres and good suspension to make progress

[garbaldy]

That usually means it's minimum wage or your to qualified for us,

I won't be wasting my time on those type of adds anymore so I hope to god I get kept on here if it sells.

[Negative Creep]

Seen a fox in the garden quite often, which I thought was quite nice. Except this morning I go outside to find the head and two legs of a rabbit strewn over the lawn. Going by the colour scheme and the fact I'm in an urban area I think some poor child is going to be wondering why Hoppy isn't in his hutch this morning........

[steveo3002]

^ what did you think they ate ?    they dont nip up the shops for a sandwich

[Tamworthbay]

There are urban rabbits everywhere. In Tamworth there is a roundabout in the middle of Ventura shopping hell. If you bother to look of an evening it is covered in rabbits but most folk are blind to what's around them.

[HillmanImp]

Bollocks.

Going to get a wet bum driving to the shops this morning.

Just started up the car and the passenger front window decided to wind itself down and wouldn't go back up again using the drivers side controls, I had to use the passenger side.

 

Hopefully it will be fine when it dries out.

Yes, exactly

[OwdChina]

It's very rare I have a grump on here because mainly I'm a miserable old twat who is grumpy about almost everything these days, and there aint enough room in here for me to moan about everything that gets my back up ............ but ............. women.

 

Just when I thought I'd got her trained.............there is a reason manufacturers put gauges on the dashboard ............. when the temp gauge reads hot as fook and oil pressure gauge is going down faster than a burst tyre it means stop the car immediately .............. NOT try to make it home ............. fucks sake.

[dave21478]

Time to lose some weight.

 

[Tamworthbay]

Or buy a welder.....

Well yes I am aware of that, my point was that putting a fly covered severed head in a bag wasn't the way I wanted to start the morning

Wages competitive= too shit to put in the advert.

[bub2006]

Fuck it. Here we go again. Can tensioner gave out on the Audi on way home from work. Hazard a guess that parts have collided that shouldn't. RAC chap comes, attatches steel bar to car and tows me home. Turning into the cul de sac he goes too tight meaning towbar now gets dragged through front bumper fucking it and the rad plastic behind. I'm going to bed.

Its well above minimum wage for starters, and that's with no qualifications, its permanent weekends so I can't pay peanuts.

RAC should sort it, when they used my MGB GT rad as a jacking point I got a courtesy car out of them, but the original problem was just a wire off the starter solenoid so a bit different.

[bub2006]

Its so hard trying g to get my life on track and thinking things are great then shit gets thrown back!

[MarvinsMom]

stupid shitty mouse pad thing on the laptop-a-ma-bob has stopped working.

 

helpfully* the settings thing on windows say that the device has stopped working.

 

well thank you very friggin' much. for telling me the blindingly obvious.....

 

luckily i have the mouse that is tied to the computer, using a wire with me so browsing rubbish and posting bollocks can continue.

 

i fuckin' hate computers.

I'm sorry you keep having these problems bub but if you insist on buying moribund crap, they're going to break on you. The pattern of boom to bust is depressingly familiar.

 

The RAC are fuckwits, mind - make sure they sort you out for the damage they caused.

[bub2006]

To be fair a tensioner can fail on anyone or anything. One of them things. And I will certainly make sure I get some recompense.
