The grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

Yup, that's a factory flange.

Got pissed about (elsewhere) with the Fiesta. Readvertised it, one of the first mitherers did that 'messaged you m8' thing and hadn't. Told him I didn't receive a message, he asks me to message him. That's not fucking happening, haven't got times for games. An hour or whatever later, there's a new message alert from Captain Knobrot:

 

 

'Does the seat smell'

 

 

I just cannot even be arsed replying.

Jesus H Christ. What is it about owners clubs. Just reading some forums and the amount of self righteous,cantankerous navel gazers is unbelievable.

 

No wonder I like dogs so much.

 

I've had to unjoin all the Facebastard Rover 75 MGZT groups I was in - if it was a pub, I'd have left before the fight started - just full of people trading insults - no need.

[fordperv]

the sierra owners club is a good place, friendly genuine folks on there

[Cavcraft]

He's still bloody asking about the smell!

[dollywobbler]

Facebook groups are often particularly bad. Think about it - it's where the people who can't be arsed to sign up to a forum hang out. I leave many groups because I just get fed up with the appalling spelling M8, and often puerile humour. I cite the Autoshite Facebook page as my evidence. (well, I assume it's still the same. Not been a member of it for a long time).

[AMC Rebel]

OTH there are some gr7 Facbastard groups like

 

Fry up Police - Gratuitously offensive group for ridiculing people's Full English Breakfasts

Pictures of people in local papers holding things up - fairly self-explanatory but often very funny

Angry People in Local Newspapers - Similar to the above with some overlap, good for a giggle

[somewhatfoolish]

Are you a Jonny Foreigner? You've missed out Trafalgar Day.

 

Ben

Au contraire; Traf Day can only be celebrated proper like if you're in No2 dress and getting pissed in the ward room on HMS Victory. The only acceptable use for pyro in this scenario is if the ward room has caught fire and you need rescuing.

[Cavcraft]

Jesus wept, just posted a message saying 'provisionally sold' and guess what one reply was?

 

 

'Did it smells bad'

 

 

​I'll just block this nut job to save any future grief I think.

[Richard]

I'm going to go on Gumtree now and ask every single seller that question.

[Dirty Rooster]

my herpes

Luckily my Herpes is delivered by my friend Martin or his wife Emma in their electric-blue Suzuki Vitara and they know to come right in the front door ... or the weird old bloke John who I think has Parkinson's but Martin says he's just a lunchtime alky.

All good!

= wrong thread. 

I'll get me coat....

[richardmorris]

I've only had one package delivered by herpes - 20 vintage folio society books. I was prepared to drive to Kent to get them but the Hermes charge was about £11 and to be fair was delivered on schedule and they put the box on my doorstep with no issues.

Not sure I want Emma to come right in my front door if she delivers the Herpes.

[dollywobbler]

Our Hermes used to get delivered in a battered old Freelander. It's now a shiny Disco 4. Have the pay rates gone up for something?!

[MarvinsMom]

A house in the village is floor to roof, on all three walls visible from the road, covered in flashing Christmas lights.

 

Its up to them obviously but IT'S WAY TOO EARLY!

 

NOvember, so called because NO, it's not Christmas yet.

2 new rear tyre's fitted to the wifes lexus today (235/55 R18 Hankook K415), local guys at Wellingborough Tyres were as good as always, that isn't the grump. 

 

Finding out the fronts wave worn badly on the inner edge and need replacing as well is whats making me grumble along with Hankook UK not having any bloody stock in the right size. Looks like the tracking/ alignment is well out and all the suspension parts look like they have been living in the North Sea which is bound to cause issues. Someone remind me why im getting rid of my Honda for this over complicated bag o shite again.......

Bloody "Shitecycle" thread.

[Richard]

When you're in an abattoir and you hear all the staff going 'eww' you know it's something pretty unpleasant. I still don't know what, I just concentrated very hard on what I was doing. And dropped a tiny screw on the floor so I had to rummage for it. Salad for lunch today I think.

[Cavcraft]

Bloody "Shitecycle" thread.

Just looks like someone trying to bump their thread count up?

[andy18s]

I remember working as a trimmer on a high volume butchery line

As the "hackers" cut the various joints out of the fore-quarters we would trim any excess fat or bone from the cut

We also had to cut out any abcesses found when the cow had been injected,which promptly got thrown around untill it burst on someone like a paintball......

If you got really lucky a cancerous growth turned up,and they used to really stink the place out

[taxi paul]

Well I changed the oil and filter on the crv last week. Noticed lots of oil on the driveway and a smell of oil when driving. So car back on stands and me crawling underneath to wrestle with oil filter trying to tighten it up. Filter is nice and tight. So bonnet up and I investigate , like I know what I am doing. Oil all over engine . Sensing some major catastrophe and wondering if that honda accord coupe is still for sale local. I spot that I hadn't put the filler cap back on the rocker cover. Filler cap back on , spray degrease everywhere and rinse off. Just need to tackle the oil on the driveway now.
