The grumpy thread

[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]

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:

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.

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.

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.

drug related toxicity ?

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

 

Ooh, get the madam.

[purplebargeken]

Must admit I do like 'a local shop for local people'.

[robinmasters]

I'm watching Wheeler Dealers (persevere, it's not one of the usual complaints), and it's making me want a 'proper classic'. I'll be joining an owners club and forcing my opinions on originality on people next.

[fordperv]

^next you'll be telling people that their projects shouldn't be let on road and need scrapping but that's just your opinion but good luck with it

[Lankytim]

I loved the League of Gentlemen, miles better than little Britain. I do have a sick sense of humour though.

[xtriple]

Could never watch Little Britain or League of Gentlemen. I guess my funny bone is out of alignment as I think they are as funny as syphilis. In fact, the list of 'comedy' I don't like is far longer than the one I do. Proof that I am indeed, a miserable old fucker!

YES!

 

In much the same way as "all cars made after 1986 are shit", most comedies after the era of Fawlty Towers are shit.

Maybe I am just a miserable cunt (no maybe about it really, I AM a miserable cunt) but comedies like Little Britain and the Leauge barely get a smirk from me....infact the few bits I have seen have just made me annoyed by the borderline offensive toilet humour.

The best I have seen recently is Peep Show which are all on Youtube...its rarely laugh out loud funny, but it kept me entertained.

Main relays on Hondas, made using solder reclaimed from old bottle tops.

 

Needed to get my prescription from the chemist, drag my arse to the car, drive to the chemist and wait among the old and the sick, limp back out to the car and it wont start, leaving me to shuffle my way home, which thankfully isnt that far, I'll give it 2 hours then wander back round to it, where it will spring into life with no problems.

 

New one is £60 from the main dealers, being flexible enough to get under the dash to fit it is another matter at the moment.

[dugong]

People? Me, I'm not a fan.

 

Here are my top five gems:

 

1.'Just my opinion' [don't recall asking you for it]

 

2.'I've not got a problem with you but...' [yes you have]

 

3.'No offence' [this does not get you off the hook]

 

4.'I'm taking the moral high ground despite my breathtaking wrongdoing (but you swore at me in response so whatever I did is null and void)' [there are no words]

 

5.'I'm assuming this (regarding x y z) and won't budge a millimetre from what I cooked up in my head and HOW DARE YOU ARGUE WITH ME!' [how about talking to me beforehand, eh?]

 

For these reasons, I can't be bothered with the human race at the moment.

[Sheefag]

Whereabouts are you Honey Badger?

I loved the League of Gentlemen, miles better than little Britain. I do have a sick sense of humour though.

"Her name, what is her name?"

 

"His name is Justin (Justin)!"

 

Burying Justin under the flower bed with that snorkle to breathe from was the most disturbing part of that prog for me. Love it.

 

All the characters were epic.
