The grumpy thread

[bub2006]

Hang on that sounded wrong.

[garbaldy]

Can we all have a Christmas group hug now, please? Lovely.

 

Once the jump in and kick me party is over I'm up for a group hug.

[Tamworthbay]

Seeing as me and you are.. What's the word?? Slightly bonny, I don't think there will be much hugging, just a rubbing of bellies

  

Hang on that sounded wrong.

Too late, that image is now in my mind..............

[bub2006]

And mine. Skin to skin for the win.

I have a white car, and I did lease it for a few months. I'm also a bit of a wanker. Stereotype restored!

[omegod]

Wife's meant to be running me to the pub, wife has fallen asleep, omegod's not happy but also not brave enough to wake wife up.

 

Omegods also just ordered a new lease car if anyone wants to have a go at him while he's waiting for wife to wake up       

[bub2006]

I'm fucked. I've a white van. I'm a wanker in more than one respect

If it's a grey BMW don't follow my white van. Flashbacks and much screaming may occur

Try not to wank in the white van though Bud

[bub2006]

I'll try not to but these traffic jams do get tedious

STFU and get in here.  It's your round, anyway... 

[Eddie Honda]

I'm a triple-wanker as somehow I've ended up with 3 white cars.

[DVee8]

I have a new BMW not grey and not leased though.

[Cavcraft]

I think one of the problems here is that some jokes* run and run.

 

And run.

 

It gets to a point where it can touch a nerve. The Aldi thing irritates me tbh, but it's not worth getting excited about.

 

Ain't that the truth. See also the hilarious* OMGSNOWCHAOS, amongst others.

I wonder why six cylinder hasn't commented on this yet?

[Sheefag]

Let's make 2017, the year we all tell Jakebullet to hang in there and brave it out.

[doobietoo]

The BBC 'news' was calling today "frantic Friday" or similar.....

Don't shop, don't drive and don't fly warnings. Chaos predicted etc. So people immediately shop, drive and fly.

Mad.

 

Usual BBC bollocks as far as I am concerned as I had a leisurely full English at a garden centre near my sisters in Hurst near Reading. left there at 12, then drove the 100 miles home to Dorchester using my normal backroad route in just over 2 hours so no different to normal. Then we went shopping at our usual local Waitrose got everything we needed and were home by 430pm as usual......So to all the people who took notice of the BBC cheers ya daft buggers...

I didn't go to asda in the end, I went into town a d to Robert days, which wasnt too bad.

 

Dont know if I had an ftp or just stalled though, the car cut out as I exited a junction. Pulled over, turned the key and it runs fine again. I put it down to a bad pull away and carried on!

 

Not sure if it's being more uneconomical at the moment though, only got 148 miles to the last £20,normally I get 197/210 miles... Will keep an eye on that, but may tweak it back up slightly, needs Moar revs to go, now there's less power on tap...

[myglaren]

My eldest has delayed coming up from that London today until tomorrow - last time it took him 18 hours.

Can't see tomorrow being any better though.

[taxi paul]

Shall we call it PCP white? . Happy Xmas bub and all . Xmas really can be a stressful time where the telly shows us how much fun families have and if your not your a miserable gits.

Asssuming you went to Robert dyas, I hope you didn't buy her anything she can kill or bury you with?

[DVee8]

Myself and the 2 boys went to Morrisons in chester le street this morning,fuck you would think they were giving everything away.

Walking across the carpark towards my car,people arguing over bays,driving the wrong way around one-way systems.

Then 2 cars wanting my space,1 directly in front across my front end the other facing that car.Both saw me load up and get in and start up.Both indicate that they want it except the 1 directly in front won't move to let me out incase the other gets the bay.

But he had to move back,as it is a 1 way system i had to go across the front of him,so the other got the bay.

[scaryoldcortina]

I just got sent to ASDA for last minute stuff we can't do without like cat litter and tampons, not christmas stuff for once, I already did all that!

 

I was expecting a scene similar to the works of hieronymus bosch but actually I got parked straight away, the shop was mostly empty (customers and stock) and there were 12 tills on so no queue.

 

I'm still grumpy because I had to get off my arse and go to asda when I wanted to sit in front of the fire and drink beer.

[michael1703]

Stick a tampon up the cat's arse, no need for cat litter.

 

Job jobbed

[andy18s]

@Dv8.....

Sorry but that's not good enough....

You should have completed loading the car,had a light bulb moment (Ding)...locked the car and gone back in the store........

[eddyramrod]

I've just been to Asda too, more or less by accident.  I went out in the Cadillac between bouts of Storm Barbara, to take a couple of items to the charity furniture warehouse.  It was closed.  So I nipped across the road to Asda for a couple of things, two of which were  to form part of MrsR's prezzy.  Can't remember seeing shelves so bare, and I used to work in a Tesco!  Car park was busy, if not completely rammed; and yes I did manage to park.  Wasn't looking forward to checkout, but I managed to get in behind a couple who'd nearly done, so that wasn't too bad.  So why the Grump?

Barbara decided to pay another visit as soon as I'd set out, and the furniture warehouse was closed, meaning I had to unload the trunk once I got home.  So I've still got a mantelpiece and a wall clock if anyone wants them.

[DVee8]

Andy18s it did cross my mind but as Barbara was pissing down and i couldn't be bothered with people i got the fuck out of dodge.

[Kiltox]

Still don't have working broadband. Elderly Cisco router I've borrowed from a mate needs a patch lead for setup and I'm fucked if I can find one

 

Fucking dirty smack rats.

[MrDuke]

My useless fucked-up brain can actually do one, I'm sick to death of it. Had a properly nasty episode this afternoon which left me shaking uncontrollably, I actually thought I was going to fully lose it with a total stranger for absolutely no valid reason whatsoever, and had I done so I would've ended up in serious bother. The situation didn't involve me in the slightest, but an obnoxious raised voice was all it took for the red mist to come down. So now it seems that I can't even trust myself to be alone in public, fantastic.

I know that seems like a dumb thing compared to other people's real problems, but it's another step down the tunnel for me. I couldn't mention it to Mrs_Duke as she's already worried sick about me doing something awful (to myself, admittedly) and I had to put it down somewhere.

As you were.

It's not a dumb thing at all, chief, far from it. I can see how you wouldn't feel like 'bothering' your missus with it, but can I please respectfully suggest you do tell someone in person? Doctors are pretty good at listening and trying to help and can link you with others even better trained to help. Not meaning to sound patronising here I promise, I do hope (think) you can resolve your situation in time mate, don't suffer in silence though.
