The grumpy thread

[purplebargeken]

I survived! Watching a screen showing the inside of your own bowels is quite interesting.

 

I appear to have diverticular disease and a pre-cancerous lower oesophagus.

That sounds a considerably better outcome than it could have been! Both manageable with medication and not imminently nasty.

[purplebargeken]

Indeed! ^^ 

 

Should have asked for a DVD copy lol

[pompei]

Good news Ken  -  or at least better than it could have been.  Good luck with recovery

[Mr A Lawrence]

Took the jagwah for mot yesterday which it passed without any advisories.

 

It's never failed an mot yet and only has a couple of minor advisories in all the time it's needed mot.

 

Why is it a grump??

 

Fucking horn packed up during test!!

 

Motherfucker!!

Steve Hewlett, off R4 Media Show, had the BigC in the horsaffaguss...

 

Good catch by docs & ATB m8

[purplebargeken]

Yeah, just a question of monitoring really

[richardthestag]

The courier who has my Volvo clocks seems intent on not delivering it.

 

It seems I might have tomorrow to whichever depot near Rainham that has them and deliver them myself.

 

Could really do without the fuckarsing about as the Volvo is currently our only family car.

 

Myhermes?

Chris Cornel dead. A sound of my youth gone

[beko1987]

My mother wanted us to watch the video of her open heart surgery, I was not the only one to decline that treat

[ruffgeezer]

Myhermes?

Yes, but in mitigation, this is the first time I have had trouble with them.

 

It turns out the road was "busy" with lorries and cars so She hadn't bothered to try and get down there to deliver them.

 

I have never felt a need to stick my hand up a cow's back end, and so I'm not a vet, if she isn't fussed on delivering packages I think she is in the wrong trade.

 

 

Anyway perhaps we will be taking the Volvo on Holiday after all!

[ChinaTom]

Unbefuckinglievable. Thank you Strutherhill Motors. Not only failing to fix the starting problem and MOT'ing my car, you fail to inform me that the car has been nicked, crashed and raided. I finally got fed up with the lack of communication (never return calls), I thought a spot check was in order, and also get the car moved to a nearby specialist. To avoid any nastiness (I am not local), I decided to just engage the 6'5 heavily built chap with the transporter to argue my case for not needing to pay for any of the work done so far (starter, alternator, battery and diagnosis labour) and peg it. I only noticed the internal vandalism when we'd arrived at CM in Kilbride.

 

Did I mention they have had the car since last September?

 

Not a happy bunny. But wallet unaided. Apart from the 840 mile round trip, but I'll call in on a client on the way back to get the mileage.

 

Probably needs a few hundred thrown at it, then sell it on for a few hundred more than that to someone who already wants it for £700. Shh. Don't mention £35.

No offers on nob_van as of yet. Not even idiotic ones.

 

It hasn't been long (and yes, it's priced to put the troglodytes off) but I couldn't move for offers of people wanting to buy it (yes, really) when it was on the road/in storage.

 

Another week and it'll probably hit eBay. Can't wait*.

Unless I've missed it have you made a for sale thread with pics for it?

Not yet. The last time I tried to sell a diesel Peugeot on here it went brilliantly*, did it not?

[chaseracer]

I've made you a FS thread, Jon, in a desperate attempt to be helpful*

You're the one saint who wouldn't have stabbed me in the bollocks by now. Much respect.

Sigh.....

Words fail me...

Tries to sell car. Doesn't include details or photo.

Grumps off.

Why?

 

Ahhh. Different thread. Got it now.

[alcyonecorporation]

Grumps off.

Why?

1. Because there are other places to sell a car

 

2. I doubt anyone on Autoshite will want to buy it, and the last time I tried to sell a diesel Peugeot on here I rage quit the forum for a month

 

3. There's a for sale thread up here now?

[Bobthebeard]

Ok... Got it now..

But FFS...

Time for a name change? Lol.

You are one grumpy chappy. Although we like you really.

[chaseracer]

Bob?  Not right now, eh...? 

[alcyonecorporation]

PEACE

[Bobthebeard]

PEACE

Ok...

Sorry!

I apologise.

Last week I sold 100 pool ball gear knobs to a well known VW tat pushing firm. Kerching! Win!

 

Except it used up a big chunk of my supplies, so phoned up to order more 8 balls. They're in a container, be here Tuesday. Or maybe Wednesday.

 

Or as they've told me today, June 22nd. Fucksocks.

[AlabamaShrimp]

Going on holiday tomorrow, just put some stuff in the garage, sodding door broke....

 

One of the cables holding the door up has snapped on the loop that attaches the door to the spring so it wouldn't go down and hung lopsided.

 

So stood in the rain with Mrs Shrimp winding it down by hand. Locked now but chuff knows if I can open it again.

[Honey Badger]

My wife's Volvo S90 got attacked by an arctic on the motorway today, it's chewed up the drivers side quite badly and it looks like the door frames are a little deformed, I'm not sure we will see it again, she's OK so I couldnt really care less about the car in all honesty.

 

In an associated grump I'm wishing I'd brought gap Insurance when I had the chance.

Do you still have the adaptors suitable for a Saxo? My late Ax gearknob is dropping to bits as are most of similar vintage. Perhaps a change in in order!

Sorry I don't. My cnc lathe died and I've used all stocks now

[michael1703]

Despite the heating being off because it's summer* woke up warm from the previous days sun, dickhead cat brought a bird in and we had all windows and doors open to get it out. Had breakfast, went to have a nice warm shower and the shower stopped working after I'd covered myself in suds, got out of shower cold, covered in suds in a freezing cold house. I'd been growling at the badger last night so I've got smelly nostril hair too

[tooSavvy]

^^^ thread working well, this place....
