The grumpy thread

[STUNO]

From the shaky isles.
All known shifters live north of where the earthquake was so OK.The one complaint from people affected has been from a Brit. family who were not airlifted 
out quickly enough from Kaikoura.Poor dears.

Edit. I just saw a bit of video where Mr brit described the evacuation helicopter service as "disgusting", That made me grumpy. Anyone who wants out is being taken to Christchurch by a fleet of helicopters , but you do have to wait your turn.

Daily Commuting grumps!!

 

Firstly its cold and nearly winter so if you have a cold then BRING A FECKIN TISSUE out with you instead of sniffing for an hour. I expect small kids to do this, not adults in their 30s, 40s and 50s

 

Passengers walking through the train to the next carraige, open the door and walk through then close it after you, don't leave it open and swinging around so someone sitting near it has to get up and close it! after you! SHUT THE FECKIN DOOR AFTER YOU PPL!!

 

Underground when its rammed, I get off to let others off and before I have chance to get back on someone already waiting on the platform jumps in front of me and boards the train! How fuckin cheeky is that!? I'm alright jack! These people always get my boot down the back of their heel!

 

Yeah I know, there that london and all that blah blah blah, but everyday I see almost caveman mentality from people I assume are going to a fixed place of employment in the city! FFS!

I've contracted norovirus, as have the kids. Without going into detail last night was fantastic* seemed to all kick off about an hour after getting home from mountain biking yesterday morning.

 

I've spent the last 24 hours trying to stop boking long enough to clean up the kid's boke.

 

We've all had like a fever with it so completely knackered now and my body can't decide if it's freezing cold or roasting hot.

 

The kids are all off to bed now and none of us have been sick or felt like doing so for a few hours now so fingers crossed.

 

When I phoned in to work sick I was informed I'm not the only one, same situation with the school so something doing the rounds alright.

I think I had the same thing last weekend. Came home from cycling Sunday, felt OK but tired. Sunday dinner, getting more tired, Sunday night pub quiz and I felt really ropey. Got a lift home and that was me fucked til the Tuesday morning. Still not 100% a week later.

I actually enjoy my commute to work, stuff like this makes me realise how lucky I am. Best of luck with Londinium, seriously, I know I wouldn't be able to stick it for a week.

[cobblers]

Yeah man, My commute is 7 miles of mostly enjoyable country lanes, then an 8 minute walk. I don't start while 7:30 but I set off to work at 6 so I can more or less guarantee that I can leather it down the lanes all the way without obstruction and I'll more or less definitely get one of the 3 spaces in the carpark where I'm less likely to get some ballbag smashing the side of my car in.

 

If someone genuinely offered me 10x my current salary to work in central London, I'd have turned them down before they finished the sentence. It's a different world, and one I am absolutely ill equipped to deal with.

Stuno there are 60 million of the moaning twats here.

We had a chap from Chch on the Helix forum - nothing was heard from him after the quake 5 years ago, and I always hoped against hope that this was just a co-incidence. Love to all in Aoteroa at this most trying of times.

 

My only other observaion is that some people urgently need to develop A SENSE OF FUCKING PERSPECTIVE.

Article says Peugeot 206.

 

Look closer, it's a 2006-12 Mitsubishi Outlander.

Caught by a Gatso yesterday. I wasn't speeding but I don't suppose that will be a valid defence.

Was it possibly flashing at someone else or was it just a bored camera?

Gatsos sometimes flash randomly, either triggered by something spurious or apparently they wind the film on occasionally? That's why they have the calibration marks on the road, if you weren't speeding there's nowt to fuss about.

 

I got a flash off one once, in an untaxed, uninsured VW Fastback sans MOT. Yes, I was stupider when young but I heard diddly squat, presumably as I wasn't speeding and the people examining the photos aren't equipped to check the other stuff.

Gatso's don't use film anymore, they use digital images.

[Pillock]

I thought Gatsos still use film, but Truevelos onwards use digital images? Would seem odd to retrofit all the old ones, and I still see men with ladders changing stuff inside the ones near me.

 

(Gatso are the old ones with two square apertures on the front, Truevelos have round)

[garbaldy]

A mate used to work for a company that did the films for speed cameras, he left years ago as they where going digital.

[fordperv]

i have a bastard awful cold, only got out of bed 20 minutes ago, my throat is hurting so bad it feels like its been gang raped by 2000 wasps and my voice is so fucked up i can sing old man river matching the gravelly deep tone

[eddyramrod]

Just discovered that one of my neighbours is in hospital awaiting the results of "tests."  I wondered why I hadn't seen her walking her dog for a bit.  She's an older lady on her own (apart from elderly deaf doggy) so perhaps I need to be a better neighbour...

[FakeConcern]

When out on my pushbike just now, a chap in a Defender going the other way took the trouble to make me nearly jump out of my skin as he stuck his head out of the window and shouted that I need to wear a helmet. 

I could rant, but I won't. This isn't Pissedonheads.

[Ghosty]

Some fucker's dumping old tatty Puntos and Seicentos on my manor, covered in cheap signwriting, even on the windows, advertising his tyres and recovery business. Year's T&T so they can't be reported as abandoned either. There's two less than a quarter of a mile from my house, one's had the mirrors pulled off and someone tried to gaffer tape over the signwriting, but it's fallen off. I'm hoping someone takes serious objection to them.

Council probably won't be interested because t&t, which is a pisser.

Phone numbers on them though, so it's time to go on a proxy and sign the bastard up for some PPI claims etc.

No email address on them?

[Cavcraft]

I'm sure he's probably really busy not making any money and moaning about it or something, but there's a farm by me who only clears the lane it's on once a year for a running race. It's literally a shower of shit when you ride through on your bike, in the dark this morning (even with good lights) it was like riding through a field. Yeah, I could go another way but it's my fave ride in and has very recently been a good place to spot a barn owl.

Handy place to charge a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 officer......had no idea that would happen!

[Kiltox]

Euro car parts tried to deliver the parts I ordered* to my unit today whilst I wasn't there

 

Seems they are moving on from the wrong parts to the wrong addresses!

Interesting business model, piss off potential customers

Check your local council's street trading rules, there is a good chance he needs a licence and probably doesn't have one and I'm sure the Neighbourhood wardens will love applying lots of fixed penalty notices to the cars.

 

They are doing it around here to the guys that leave a T&Td "for sale" car on the side of a busy road.

[Pillock]

Keep ringing him up and asking to recover a car. Give location and reg number of one if his advertising motors. Repeat hourly.

 

Or get a car signwritten up as "

 

Or fire.

[meshking]

Someone kept trying to sell cars like that near me, they would park the fully on the pavement. Not really causing an obstruction so according to a local Bobby it was fine. Someone clearly took a dislike and took to smashing the windows on the cars.

They aren't sold there anymore.

I was flashed by a gatso, whilst in a traffic jam 6 times at 5 mph. Strange that I never got a Nip.
