The grumpy thread

[fordperv]

I went to work for my 2nd day of restraint training and came out to go home and there was a scrape along the passengers front door and at the front of the passenger's rear, needless to say i was pissed off, it was a bloody ka im suprised the corner bumper didnt fall off, i found the owner and to be fair the lad was really apologetic and is an innofensive guy ive spoke to him a few times, he didnt think he touched it but was happy to take responsibility when he looked at it, so thats not too bad i suppose, still a grump though

[Guest Hooli]

I don't get this 'I didn't think I touched it' I knew if I'd touched anything even driving coaches ffs.

[Asimo]

Prat on a bicycle rode into the back of my stationary-at-the-lights van, I jumped out of my skin at the clang!

I think he must have put a hand out to stop himself. He was trying to pass on my left and I was too close to the kerb for him to squeeze past. Gave me all the mr angry, self-righteous body language and on he goes, rusty chain, insteps on the pedals, nearly flat tyres and head full of f***ing earphones.

I'd be seriously thinking about the suitability of the nursery if they think his misogonyst ,nasty, intolerant right wing opinions are something they would want to be associated with.

 

I am raising this with them. I have nothing against the staff and Imp Jrs care is great but I am wondering which goon that owns the place thought this was a good idea. I'm not going to interrupt Imp Jrs life just because of who they choose to open it, as I am pretty sure they don't implement right wing views at to the under 2's but I am going to kick up a stink.

 

I am wondering if they were deliberately looking for the most inappropriate person to open a nursery and had to get him as Gary Glitter was in prison.

 

 

I can't understand why he would want to buy into a nursery 

 

I don't think he owns it, he's just opening it, probably cutting a ribbon or something. If he does own it, I will be pulling imp Jr out and placing him elsewhere. Soz if I was not clear. I agree the other stuff though, all these new rules sound shite. It will all fall over and some new *exciting* rules will be devised.

That's obviously why he didn't see your van. Listening to music when riding a bike makes you go blind. Like wanking. Last 3 accidents I had on my bike I was wanking,

It could be worse, I don't think Milo Yiannopoulos has many work bookings in the next few weeks.

Bathroom pull switch has lasted over 40 years till it finally packed up, my grump?

New one as lasted 8 months!

Did you swap her for a nice fridge?

 

In some cases I'm sure it would be difficult to tell the difference

[AlabamaShrimp]

Well this makes up for the crispy pancakes. Mrs Shrimp decided to open a chocolate orange that's been hiding since Xmas.

 

 

Cheeky buggers it's like the Toblerone all over again!!

[sierraman]

Is there only me that is of the opinion modern DPF equipped Diesels should be sold to Autobahn bound German Photocopier salesman?

 

I always seem to be hearing about people whinging on about the DPF light being on, but it's always people who despite the advice have sought a diesel, then proceed to potter about to the shops in it. Then think the idea of 'opening the taps' is driving it for 3 minutes at 60 in 6th down the bypass.

 

What they've failed to realise is they need to take it within an inch of its life for 10-15 miles, the problem with this is that even in 4th in a modern diesel you'll be into driving ban speeds. I was in the car with someone the other day, their idea of 'opening it up' a bit was to let the turbo kick in and shift up at 3,000 rpm...

Anything I drive gets a daily "Italian tune-up".

It might be they're just not very politically astute and thought it would be nice to have it formally opened by their local MP.

 

If he's your elected member (fnarr fnarr) someone must like him.

It's shitty tactics like this that stopped me buying premium stuff years ago. I'll survive perfectly fine without Heinz, Bachelors, Terry's, Cadbury's, Kellogg's etc.

[Sheefag]

Absolutely, it's just corporate greed.

[Captain Furious]

Went through the same Chocolate Orange horror discovery at xmas, fuckers.

 

Delivery companies that won't leave parcels with neighbours - I mean, I kind of get why, but its still annoying.  Would you like to re-arrange delivery for tomorrow, when you won't be in again, or maybe for any day this week, when you won't be in either, oh and our depot closes at 6, so good luck trying to collect it in person after work 

 

Meant I had to leave work early and go to their depot and collect, which is the other side of where I live to where I work, so battling two lots of rush hour traffic.  However, I now have the final pieces in the puzzle to get the 205 up to MOT standard, should be ready for retest on Friday.

 

Excited a little bit

[Mr_Bo11ox]

All couriers are CUNTS.

 

Book a 24-hour parcelforce service through Interparcel. Drop it off at the post office and the guy looks bewildered, scans it in, the parcelforce number is not recognised. I get intouch with interparcel, 'Oh yeah, you have to wait 24 hours after booking before you can drop it off' so its a 24 hour service with a further 24 hours delay before the service can start!!! FUCKING BASTARDS! Is there anyone involved in the courier business who is not a total shyster BASTARD. (No)

Had a courier asking to leave a parcel for the neighbours the other day, asked what number it was (scumbags) and said no, guy looked a bit puzzled and said I was the 3rd person he had tried because nobody wanted to take it in for them..sadly my advise of drop kick it into their back garden or leave it in the rain as normal were not found amusing.

[Captain Furious]

That could be it then

I'm not that bad but sadly I can't compete with national companies on cost and I'm screwed if I'm running van into ground for a pittance self employed for a lot of them.

 

My grump for today involves a loud metallic knocking noise at idle and boiling coolant. Poorly pap pap

[danthecapriman]

Just had some guy knock on the door at home.

'Hi, I noticed your old cars, do you want to sell any? I'm mainly interested in the Granada...'

To be fair he seemed an ok guy but didn't seem to know his stuff with old cars. He wanted to know a bit more about the car and if I'd sell.

Thing that concerns me though is that the cars are all covered over and pretty well hidden from view behind other cars and some bushes at the front of the house yet he still knew exactly what was under the cover. Makes me worry that someone's been watching the place or snooping around when nobody's in!

Also makes me concerned someone might come back later when nobody's here and help themselves to what they want.

I wish people would mind their own business to be honest, if I wanted to sell anything I'd put a sale sign on it or advertise it!

[meshking]

There's a house near me with a defender crewcab on the drive. The note in the window says "NOT For Sale"

[danthecapriman]

Someone did that on a Cortina near me. It read 'NOT for sale so please stop asking!'.

 

I don't mind having a chat if someone's seen something just by passing by, but to see mine you'd have to be deliberately looking for stuff like that which to me seems a bit nosey and I don't think it's right to have some unknown person looking into my property (or even wondering around it).

I might just be being totally paranoid but it does worry me sometimes.

I think I could have sold my Capri a dozen times over, I can see why it's worrying and I minimise the time it's outside but most people just love old cars. One guy was serious and showed me the cash in his pocket he wanted to give as a deposit. Would have been a good price too, but where would I find another in the same condition?

[The Moog]

To be fair we do play Cat Piss Tarp game and some car lickers on here can guess anything from a hubcap or a slight outline of a headlight

[Captain Furious]

I understand the concern and I'd probably feel the same, but I can't help think that potential thieves wouldn't alert you to their potential thievery by banging on your door enquiring about the car.

 

Annoying, but I wouldn't worry too much - not about this guy at least.

[MarvinsMom]

Just been for a shower/shave. To do so, I have taken my new false tooth/teeth out and left them on the front room table. I hate wearing them/it as it is so uncomfortable so any excuse to take it out...

 

Come back out and my false tooth is on the floor, there is a dog with a very guilty look on his face and the plate is soggy and wet. It would appear that Chesters obsession with this falsey is more than I thought... obviously he has been wandering around the flat wearing MY false teeth!

 

ftfy......

Could have been knocking to see if anybody was in before seeing what they could nick, obviously been in for a look around already. I would make sure everything is immobilised or chained together.

Really wanted to add Junkman's Range Rover 4.6 to the Chaseracer Towers fleet.  Can I find a halfway reasonable insurance quote?  Can I feck as like.

 

ARSE and, indeed, BUMHATS.
