The grumpy thread

I've had a quick look online, but is it possible to buy cones with sand filled bases?

 

Of course it is.

I should have said I wanted ones where you could add sand, rather than pre-loaded. Want to make them as heavy as possible.

 

My other option I suppose is to smear dog shit under their door handles.

[Kiltox]

Fill a normal cone with concrete?

[strangeangel]

Minor grump, but people keep parking in front of my garage and it's doing my head. I've had a couple of cones out there for the past 6 months or so, but they keep getting moved/driven into, and one has disappeared tonight. Apart from students, who the fuck nicks a cone?

 

I've had a quick look online, but is it possible to buy cones with sand filled bases? I want some immovable FRO conage or something now as it'll only get worse if I dont. It's starting to curtail my shite fettling a bit these days, as there's always some inconsiderate cunt parking out back (if not in front of my garage then someone else's).

 

Fuck buying cones, get a sign and a big clamp and charge the retards £120 to release them.

"there has been a successful login to your Paypal account from a device in New Zealand" and it's not a spam mail.  Fucksticks.  Can't resolve online as the phone numbers they sent the confirmation info to are different to any number I've ever given them so I have to wait to call the free phone number when the offices are open tomorrow.

 

I'm quite worried about this.  I've got my monthly payment arriving from one of my projects and it's a large one, I rely on it to pay for quite a bit.  There was also some money sat in the account as I've had a couple of customers pay me just before it was shut down.  I stand to lose several hundred pounds.  I'm just hoping they've been suitably proactive and I haven't actually lost anything and will be able to get back into my account and to my money.

 

Getting rid of the Paypal account isn't an option, I absolutely rely on it to earn a living.  I suspect it's a random hack attempt, a fellow artist was hit earlier this year with the same thing but they got into his bank account as well and he just had to watch his balance shrinking which frankly I find a terrifying thought.  So yeah.  This is not going to be conducive to a good night's sleep at all.

I don't think you'd get immovable cones because the whole point of cones is that they can be easily moved and stacked. I think what you need is something like these, which can be filled with sand or water http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-Road-Safety-Barriers-Barricade-/262592089947 "Water filled safety barriers" seems to be the proper name for them. They aren't cheap though, and they are quite bulky.

[RoadworkUK]

Bloody Rover 800s. Where are these bastard things coming from? Is somone trying to tell me something? Since spotting the Partridge "twin" Sterling in Colchester I've seen 4 more and again, not in a position to photograph them as I like to do. ARSE.

 

 

What were you doing on my manor, chief? I work from home now and the kettle is on so much my 'leccy meter is in meltdown.

[purplebargeken]

Fingers crossed for your lad and the hospital mate. Hope it all goes well.

[purplebargeken]

The parking in front of the garage thing is a cunt. I leave a note asking people to leave the flat details or a contact number. If I see them, I ask if they could park less close to the garage door so I can at least open it to do stuff. I pushed the Focus out the way the other week but I was having a bad day.

 

I have let tyres down before. 

 

Do you have something that could tow the cunts out of the way? Jack up the rear end and push it out of the way is another method. 

[purplebargeken]

The dog shit/handle appeals tbh.

Thanks Richard, that would certainly stop them and I'd only need one. I might just have to stick with cones though as I do need to move them occasionally. Good job I have several cars as if my garaged one is blocked I just use the Cavalier which is parked outside.

I can't be bothered Ken to be honest, I'd much rather just keep my head down around here and hope leaving notes sorts them out. It has in the past so maybe we're just having another spell of it. Anyway, if that's all I've got to moan about in life then I figure I'm doing alright!

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck  fuck fuck fuck fuck.  Yesterday just before arranging cartakreback because MOT/Tax and not been used for 6 months and the garage is being demolished.  I  took the disgustingly decrepit  ZX for MOT as it was 200 yards from MOT place and £27.  It failed but (Yes I timed my repair skills) 145 seconds with 13mm spanner and 20cm of gaffer tape later it passed. .  As there was less then a days tax left I went all the way round the M25 and the tunnel thing  (there was not much traffic) and this ZX it is still one of the most comfortable long-distance things I have ever had, so arrived back at work a bit late from lunch.        Now what do I do with yet another working MOT'd French n/a diesel engine gleemer and nowhere to park anything?

 

[Supernaut]

ROFFLE IT!

I don't want it though.

You still buying my 25 diesel later this month or not, sir?

[Guest Hooli]

Imp Jr is a bit smaller but I will see what else they do to see if they can fit the Jag.

 

I am sure the shape of the seats is not that extreme so there must be something suitable.

Dip Imp Jr in Babybio everynight to enlargeifercate him?

[beko1987]

Dean(lotsofnumbers) might want it to increase his ZX collection?

[castros_bro]

The plan's still to drive the 25 to Portugal and park it in Lisbon for a while and as my pay should be cleared tomorrow you'll get a word very soon.  What wasn't in the plan was someone else buying the derelict shed in Portugal before my money got there nor the ZX with MOT.

[HillmanImp]

Managed to get a seat. Was £116 more than the one I had originally wanted but its only money.

[maxpower]

Got phone call today asking for permission to put my lil dog to sleep ... at least she is in no pain now

 

GUTTED

[Tamworthbay]

Sorry to hear that, Its crap mate, it's always horrible.

[fordperv]

sorry for your loss max power, may she forever run free across rainbow bridge

[Mr A Lawrence]

Sorry to hear that max.

Alternatively...

 

 

It's the only language these bastards understand...

 

[MarvinsMom]

my grump is that i keep looking at flippin' BINI's for sale.

 

no real need for another car, 2 years of 75 and maybe i fancy a change,

 

and i dunno what else that is a bit unusual 

 

which means i may well have been seduced by the dark side of the force.

 

fuckstix.

[Frogchod]

Grump.  Sort of car related too. So a pug 306 goes up in flames at Speedy (frog kwick fit) and starts a mahoosive fire. Great, one less Speedy, except my electrical wholesalers next door also was toasted. No worries I thought,get a new account at the only other wholesalers in town, except that they're closed for stocktaking for two days.    Looks like I've an 80km detour to pick gear up tomorrow. Fuggin Peugeots.

CHANGE PASSWORD AT THE VERY LEAST NOW

[Tamworthbay]

Car parts for less, bastards

Find the bits I want, yup, get a discount code, yup, free dleivery, yup

 

All is going well until.......... I try and pay for the fucking things. I have used them once before and didn't set up an account but it claims the email is already in use. The generic zero security password I use for such things doesn't work and it won't let me in through the continue without account bit. I click for it to send password, email arrives but WONT FUCKING OPEN, by this point I am ready to chuck the iPad through the window. If the bits weren't £20 cheaper than anywhere else I would have left it. After multiple attempts and half an hour of stress it finally accepts a password THE SAME FUCKING PASSWORD I TRIED THE FIRST TIME. Twats.

[Pillock]

I know it's a bit late Vulg, but PayPal support two factor authentication where they text you a number to log in. So I could happily tell you my password is Ar$eC4ndl3 but the next step is requesting a one time code which has to come to the phone in my hand.

 

I was once at Santa Pod and got the text come through... Meant someone had got my password but been stopped from accessing. Still need to change password asap but it's another layer.

 

Facebook, Google, Twitter, Dropbox and loads of places do it. I generate most codes on my watch, PP are a bit behind in demanding to text you it.
