The grumpy thread

[Sheefag]

You have PM.

[oldcars]

Broken stuff. Fed of trying to fix stuff but never getting anything fixed. Time to give up and pay folk i think.

You're entitled to your opinion, like the rest of us, but your avatar is wilfully offensive.  Lose it, please.

I don't think papa lazarou is offensive.

Some self important botty rocket at work was walking down the road doing that 'The Apprentice' thing of having his phone by his jaw talking to someone. I sat at the junction in my van and put my foot flat to the floor for about 5 or 6 seconds.

Every time I am in town now I see some dick holding their phone horizontally in front of their face and using the speakerphone.

It takes a real force of will to prevent me from slapping it out of their hands.

[Sheefag]

Coincidentally, I saw this yesterday for the very first time when I was sat at some lights on the Upper Richmond Rd in South West London, I didn't realise it was the 'latest thing'.

It's a busy dual carriageway, so loud that he had to put the phone right near his ear to hear thus negating the effect.

I imagine the boys who supplement their income by nicking phones with the aid of scooters must be chuffed to death with this new fashion.

Hello Dave.

[Danblez]

Occasionally I am forced to look at something on Facebook which isn't available anywhere else on the interweb. Each and every time it becomes more irritating. I normally try not to log in because I get harassed with stupid emails saying "welcome back" and such bollocks for weeks. This is getting increasingly difficult, now not only do I have to put a security code in to view certain pages but those which don't require this security code now have a big fuck off banner at the bottom which keeps springing up and asking if I want to log in.

 

How anyone puts up with the total crock of shit that is Facebook I will never know. All I do know is I am never going to use it, even if I am the last person on the planet not to. And I will rejoice as I have never rejoiced before when it finally dies a death.

 

Hateful hateful hateful.

 

*and breathe*

I remember Papa Lazarou. Very weird indeed!

[Cavcraft]

Oh, here's another one for you: cocky bellends in front of authority. You know the sort? All 'captain know-it-all' and arrogance when they're filming themselves playing the barrack room lawyer and hard man in front of a traffic warden, then uploading the video on the Internet. I can only guess as to the type of 15 year old keyboard warrior who's impressed by some two Bob gobshite saying 'I know my rights' and all that 'please don't stand in my personal space, officer' type shit. I can't help hoping they get someone on the last day in that job who knocks them clean out with one punch.

Have a compilation of them getting owned for your viewing delectation

 

[Cavcraft]

Hahahaha hahahaha 'help, help I do not consent' What a fucking spoon, even worse his missus and kid were in the car.

[Sheefag]

That was fucking awful, the way he put his kid through that, the selfish cunt.

[fordperv]

would you like to buy some pegs dave?

 

There was a block in you toilet, but it's o.k., I've fixed it now.

[chaseracer]

Genuinely, I have no idea who 'Papa Lazarou' is.

[bub2006]

League of gentlemen sketch show I believe.

[chaseracer]

That would explain my ignorance of the 'character'.

[bub2006]

I wasn't a fan. Very surreal

[purplebargeken]

I do not consent..... bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, arrgghhhh, uugghhhhhh, arrrghhhh. 

 

A most excellent outcome.

[For Fiats Sake]

So a month after a medication review where I was swapped from taking 3 pills morning and 2 pills at night, to 2 slow release capsules. I am only now informed that the the overall strength of my medication has been dropped.

 

Well that would account for feeling like shit for the last fortnight.

 

If I want to go back to original dose (yes please!) you will need to go to see a psychologist (which takes weeks to arrange).

 

Or it could be that you need to give the pills another 2 weeks to work.  Oh really, cutting the dose has already made me

 

agitated, miserable and angry.

 

I'm told all this by some "Dr" who barely looks old enough to drive and when I dare to mention another issue I'm told to make another appointment.  Not with you you cunt.

 

Not to worry she gave me some printed out leaflets (for six weeks of counselling appointments) and a telephone number for the "crisis team".

 

The only crisis I'm having is the one you created.

 

Fuck me, you go for a review in good faith and get screwed over by the cunts trying to save a few pennies on meds.

 

And yes, there is a direct correlation between my cunt count and mental wellbeing.

 

Have a picture of Jeremy Corbyn to cheer this rant up:

 

 

 

 

[Parky]

That's Obi-Wan Kenobi laughing as a Leprechaun picks Mother Theresa's pocket!

[purplebargeken]

No reason for you to see a psychologist if you require your med dose increased. Seems somewhat unreasonable if you are suffering as a result of a reduction. How odd.

 

Book another appt ASAP. Not with this one as you said. 

[Cavcraft]

I wasn't a fan. Very surreal

 

Also very unfunny. Never understood the hype over that 'comedy' tbh.

[vulgalour]

I don't get the modern approach of one appointment per ailment.  I found this out a few months ago when I went in for two things on one appointment and was then told, straight faced, to pick which one I wanted them to deal with and make an appointment for the other.  I found that utterly baffling.  It took three months until I got the second ailment seen and diagnosed, I've been referred to the hospital so someone else can see the ailment but not actually do anything about it by which time it'll be about 5 months.  Then I'll have another appointment which will likely take it to six months.

 

The ailment?  An ingrowing toenail because I stubbed my toe.  I just want it sorted, it's surprisingly painful and gets in the way of me just getting shit done.  Instead I just have to keep waiting and do my best with it.  Pretty tiresome now though.

I live near Norfolk. I thought the League of Gentleman was a documentary.

Today the combined might of ECP and GSF almost brought me down

 

A week or so back I purchased a headlight bulb for my Merc using the registration number on GSFs website- £47.95 click and collect from Luton( this will become relevant later)

To replace said bulb , you need to remove the headlamp, which in turn means removing the front bumper. I didn't have time so left it- the old bulb worked it hD just gone pink. Tomorrow I'm booked in for my 4 monthly £200 Council 'MOT' so set to replacing the bulb.........

Two days ago I bought some pads for the Arosa from ECP using the reg £10.50 click and collect Milton Keynes.

I was going to do them today but the headlamp bulb turned into a 4 hour job so sent youngest daughter to Zubin my local part worn tyre and cheap mechanic.

 

So far so good.

But after spending over an hour trying to separate the bulb from the igniter I finally realised I'd got the wrong bulb, went yo local GSF who sold me the right bulb for £67.95, but wouldn't exchange the wrong one because I hadn't got the receipt- had the reservation no. and proof of paying on my Nat West app. Need to take it back to Luton- and that only after throwing a lot of fucks at the MK branch manager and him doing the same on the phone to Luton- so still £50 down until I can get to Luton some time this week.

Did I mention the phone call from Zubin to tell me the sealed box from ECP had 2 Arosa pads and 2 random others in it? They delivered another set to him on his account but wouldn't credit the wrong ones unless I go in.

I was so pissed off by this time I daren't go to ECP for fear of getting arrested.

 

Day ended with bulb in Merc pads on Arosa. Me £60 down because ECP and GSF are CUNTS.

Tomorrow is another day.

[Mr A Lawrence]

I have a medication review in the morning😳

[xtriple]

NEVER agree to a meds change unless YOU want to change yourself!  I have got very good at telling Doctors 'No!' and staying as I am thank you. They look at you a bit funny but so what? It took years to get levels and meds 'right' (and thanks to one idiot who was allegedly a Dr but was actually a functioning alcoholic who died in his surgery) left me with Parkinsons type symptoms (now cured) and one or two other symptoms that won't go no matter what.

 

Your body/mind, if you feel right, stick with what you know.
