The grumpy thread

[AMC Rebel]

Let's all agree that whatever our political standpoint, the world is shit.

 

Yeah?

 

Ok then, now fuck off and enjoy your weekends.

Agreed  

 

 

NOT SAFE FOR WORK OR PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE SWEARING

 

[AlabamaShrimp]

Well done the same people again, arguing about the same political stuff in yet another thread making it into one long rant.

 

 

Can't we all accept neither side was right or wrong, we've all got our own ideas on what has and should happen but just keep them to yourselves as really, most of us, don't actually give a shit what you think about something that has already happened and can't be changed any time soon.

[AMC Rebel]

Fair point I agree to shut up

[Captain Furious]

Except way more people (of those who bothered to vote) voted for something other than the Tories and their votes were effectively worthless.  In PR every vote counts for something and votes are more accurately reflected in the allocation of seats.

The Tories would have still been the largest party, although short of an absolute majority. So it would have been another coalition, probably with UKIP because they'd have been the only party enough seats to make the majority

 

If we conveniently ignored the fact the Tories were the largest party, then even if Labour teamed with the Greens, SNP and the Lib Dems they'd be short

 

Basically PR = UKIP

[LostnotFound]

Just received an ebay win HiFi amplifier, the plug has been chopped off it. Not the end of the world due to having top diy / garden machinery / odds and sods shop walking distance away.

 

But it has irritated me given the item has been sold as tested as working, either it hasn't been tested or they switched it on then chopped the plug off. I know most of the ebay moans on here are to do with buyers, but sellers can be a pain in the arse as well.

It's Friday evening, and I've got nothing better to do than sit at home, alone, drinking myself into a downward spiral of self-hatred.

 

Is that grumpy enough?

 Not bad - actually you have just reminded me, it's beer o'clock, even for a sad lonely sack like me  I did have one better thing to do, which was to fit the spacer on the Pumpkin towbar so the bike rack will fit. Needless to say, the bolts are too short, so it's beer instead.

[Lankytim]

Pretty much all the bullshit spouted by either side was debunked 5 minutes after it was released and used by the opposition in publicity.

 

£350 million quid for the NHS? Who believed that news the next day.

It's lovely and sunny still outside, drink outside in the fresh air?

[doobietoo]

probably not in Scotch land.....

 

[BavarianRetro]

You also get the jail for it in most parts of Scotland.

[Supernaut]

It's actually alright outside, but yeah. Can't risk drinking outside, even in my own garden.

[Louise2cv]

Early April Fools "jokes".

 

It's not April yet you morons. Why can people not wait for anything anymore? Flipping Christmas from November, Remembrance Sunday becoming "Poppy Month" and now April Fools in March to maximise the coverage of your hilarious* prank on social media.

 

TL:DR: I'm in a moody.

[M'coli]

I hate being right about things to do with politics, as usually it's because I can read between the lines of what is being promised and what is intended. Brexit is no different: the whole shebang has been a stalking horse to allow those with power to write laws that will allow them to rip the general public a new arsehole year-on-year.

 

Just remember that those who are in power need not be those who control power. I'd say that was the billionaire newspaper owners.

[MarvinsMom]

GOOD!

[Lacquer Peel]

That's racist.

[Des]

Might I politely remind the Red Robbos and Bojos up there that this site is traditionally a collection of rather creepy potless weirdos whose mitherings on about old chod often deviates onto hoovers, pushbikes, pornog and even politics, usually to a good effect. Please bear in mind when political discourse approaches anything close to argumentation you are being played like a chump.

Oh boo fucking hoo my preferred choice lost and the victors are ungracious, I'll make angry face.

Oh boo fucking hoo my preferred choice won and the losers are ungracious, I'll make angry face.

It's called divide and rule, there is no right or wrong vote, the fuckers controlling governments always win.

That said I'd like to express my contempt of the greens, fucking smug bunch of guffchuffing cunts.

[strangeangel]

Why was the Laguna hatch thread removed?

 

Probably because people were falling out over the (already decided) fate of a shit car that no-one wanted?

[overrun]

It depends on the age of the car too. Whether your car is homologated with specific bulb requirements etc. I think pre 1986 is ok.

Also the eBay ad person with the new rad in his Range Rover. You only need a viscous coupling spanner if you have a viscous fan. Cheap ads.

That dude building the 2dr Range Rover will need to buy a bigger ebay shed if he thinks he is is fitting the ebay-sourced bodywork.

 

The adverts are very bizarre, agreed. The one with the lass with the barried up 106.

"My dad wouldn't buy me a 4-2-1 manifold so I got one myself, fitted it, sounds wicked."

 

Kids don't mess about with old rammel like that now.

[timolloyd]

I'd like to see an Autoshite version of those Halfords ads.

 

'eBay helped me with my MoT prep:

 

A slightly stained passenger seatbelt for a 1979 Talbot? Sorted

4 ditchfinders for £10 just to get a pass? No problem

Rare* dealer brochure so I can feel better about my chod. Done'

[Vin]

Hallelujah, brother. Sick to death of people still going on about the result. If you don't like it then I'm afraid it's hard luck.

 

Eurosceptics have been going on for the past 40 years so I imagine the remain camp are well within their rights to take up the mantle. When a government is elected, the opposition doesn't just keep quiet for 5 years and let them get on with it (although they appear to be at the minute... ). That is democracy...

[Guest Hooli]

It's fecking raining & I want to finish building my bike. I can have it on the road in four or five hours, just don't want to be doing it in a downpour & typically even after rebuilding the garage there is no room inside to do it.

[michael1703]

I've had bikes in the kitchen a few times, as long as it's only for a few hours you'll be alright with domestic management

[Guest Hooli]

No room there either. Believe me it'd be indoors if I could, but there is no space.

 

Looks like it's drying up though

What have the Romans ever given us?

Fair play, put that way it makes more sense to me.

Hadrians wall.

 

 

Bring back Michael Foot, MAKE BRITAIN GREAT AGAIN!

[Alexg]

Mrs AlexG's Fiesta needed it's first MOT and an interim service. Kwikfit were advertising MOT and oil & filter change for £88. No brainer and booked it in. 

 

Left it to her to take the car in and she gives me a call when en route to collect "Yeah it passed but they said the wipers could do with being replaced and the tracking was out, so I've got them to do it, cost me £80"

 

ARRRRRHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! FFS!!!!!! I thought we were clear on this after the mattress insurance debacle.

This as you well know was your mistake... no one to blame but yourself.... and Mattress insurance really??? does it cover Jizz stains?
