The grumpy thread

[pogweasel]

eBAY MORONS (yet again!!!)

 

Just listed 'Er Indoors car, (HERE) and I kid you not within THREE minutes some utter twatfink has rung up and offered me half what we were offered as a trade-in.

 

Where do these people come from? Are they really so utterly, utterly thick??

[Lankytim]

Hey, WatIf ive learned anything from my life in shit jobs its not to compare myself and my situation to anyone else and what theyre doing. Its a sure fire way to complete nervous breakdown!

Sneaky little bid on the poglet mobile to get things moving

I am in hospital AGAIN because of this bloody crohns. Not responding to drugs so this time I am lined up to have chunks of my innards taken out. Not too worried about that so much, just the very real prospect of having a bag on my hip for a time afterwards. And all this a week before a final interview for a top job which I will no way be able to attend now.In an ideal world, I might be able to stall the surgeon until after the interview, then if I get the job, resign and have the surgery done during my three months notice period so I am fully recovered for the new job. Thats the ideal world anyway. We'll just have to see how it all goes. Main thing is hopefully this surgery will be the end of it (at least for a few years anyway) and it will be good to have some sort of respite. Still, be positive!

The job might be important but feeling better is far and away the more important , I sincerely hope all goes well for you and that it does sort the crohns out , chin up and keep positive , ive never met you but feel for you all the same .

[brammy777]

I hope all goes well Parky, and youre on the mend soon enough.I have a wisdom tooth coming through, and it bloody hurts. There aint no pain like mouth pain, it literally cripples you. Also, eating on one side of my mouth has got a lot harder, for some reason.

[Parky]

Quite right Rusty, health is more important. Certainly getting a lot of perspective back sitting in here with a load of very old sick people. Thanks for the regards too, much appreciated. If all goes well I'll be as right as rain in a couple of weeksAnd thanks Brammy, again appreciated. And whilst I havent had problems with my wisdoms as of yet, I understand they bring a new meaning to the phrase unbe-fuckin-lieavably painful so you have my sympathies too!

And dont I just know that at the moment with my fucking grotty chopper , Against tontops advise im using the clove oil along with pain killers and im getting some Corsodyl tomarrow , Tastes discusting and stings but it does help , gonna punch the dentist on the nose if he says " we can save this " once moreEDIT , Real pain is the following , having a metal rod shoved up your dick , getting shards of metal in your eye and having an ingrowing toenail ripped off by accident , oh and giving birth apparently although not something im likely to experience .

Grumpage:Traditionally the early May BH is generic old-farty classic car show at Shuttleworth, which is genuinely enjoyable as it is a mental mix of all sorts or wierd motors and wierder owners. Flick through the local rag showed no sign of it though, normally a small editorial "Classics come to town" or similar, and a quarter page advert. Nothing. Wrong bank hol? Can't be. Did some googleage and they have "moved" it to woburn abbey, which is the other side of the county, and not a place I can skulk off to and be back again without causing too much bother. No old car enjoyment for me then. Bastards.

[pogweasel]

And they want £8 a pop at Woburn, opposed to four at Shutts. Bastards.

Isolation Ward Sth Pacific:Two months ago..i had a bad relapse of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder..with this condition you see -feel trigger effects and eventually my chamber was full..i hyperventilated..turned purple..went into shock..i was on my own..so landlord who found me had to call an ambulance..which i now owe $45 for.Outcome was to be seen three times by clinical psychologist and then got discharged.Whilst in the medical system I tried to get them to acknowledge my hernia..which is so unimportant that the NZ medical system refuses to operate on me.All my international travel plans turned to nothing...practically..Sth America is off..so now the idea is.. soonish..get the fack outta here..go to Brisbane..bum off my mates there..get some work..and then get one way ticket to London end of July .Pressure is on to get outta the warehouse..sick of people continually asking me about travel plans ya di ya...partner couldnt make up her mind whether she comes with me..what do we do with dog etc..at least now..she aint coming..she l get a wee house in Marton..i leave...and stay away from from these goddamn conservative islands until at least it starts warming up..otherwise..its all good!

[Minimad5]

Crap you guys Rab i hope you can get your hernia sorted out, and glad you were okay from the panic attackI knew a girl in high school that suffered with them, and just seing her in that state freaked me out, so god knows what she was going throu', let alone yourselfParky - Hope you get that crohns under control soon, i did abit of research into it afew weeks back when it was mentioned on here, and it sounds bleeming painful.Hope all goes well buddy.Tell you what, you guys are not having any look at the moment.Brammy, get some pliers hahaSorry but i have no grump, just wanted to say "Get well" to the unwell people

[brammy777]

I had a hernia once, it wasnt a major issue (Im presuming because it was a good 6 months waiting for the operation) but if they twist, then it become very serious. Sometimes it hurts even now! Id love to use some pliers, but this tooth is coming through and it feels almost done....

Brammy, if it's really painful you can go to A&E.As for the pliers stunt, I did that once when I was about 20/21. I had an abcess, so what I did was punctured the side of my gum with a toothpick. Using a straw taped on to the tube of an industrial Nilfisk vacuum cleaner, I sucked all the krap out of the abcess.After necking the best part of a litre bottle of Bells for anasthetic and bravery purposes, I tweaked the beggar out in two goes with a pair of RS longnose radio pliers.Blood and snot all over the place, but after I woke up again, I had a slight hangover and no toothache.

[ashmicro]

This was always the case since they brought in the photo licences. I'm pretty sure it's mentioned in the documentation that comes with the licence. Can't wait until mine needs renewing in 2012 - I look like a twelve year old.

Wouldn't be very enjoyable in today's weather though.I'm doing decorating.

[pogweasel]

If it was round the corner I would have gone regardless as I normally do. I have consoled myself by going to sainsbury's & spending too much on meat & beer.

[outlaw118]

Hmmm meat and beer, my two favourite things.....

Mine is up for renewal this year and I am giving serious consideration to sporting a tash like

and then shaving it off once the picture has been taken.

I haven't got one of those photo licenses but some say my paper license is now illegal,well until the doovla write and tell me so I aint changing.My HGV license is due for renewal in a couple of years but seeing as I haven't driven a lorry in twelve years I don't think it's worth the cost of a medical then having to change to a photo license.
