The grumpy thread

[JeeExEll]

Thanks for sharing your experiences.

 

The old guy has walked past twice since at his usual time he used to walk his dog.

 

Feel so awful for him but what can you do.

 

So sad.

He might like to have a balloon on a string? One of those twisty dog shaped ones full of helium.

 

Just saying.

Work colleague bought a cuckoo clock and put it up in the office. I hated it, cheap shite knock off one. 

 

Drove me batshit. he went on holiday fora week. I tore the clock off the wall and flung it out the window onto the concrete below. It got left there.

 

He got back asked where the clock was and I told him it flew away but didn't make it. 

 

Not a word was said. I have no regrets.

Adopt an old dog... Any old dog. It's last years in a happy home are better than the last years in a kennel. I rescued an old fella a while ago, proper doddering and was at least 13. Only lived a year, but he had a happy year.

 

There was AN OLD DOG (but a good boy), a virtually B&W golden retriever who was proper baffled and wandered around near my parent's house for a while; he had AN ROUTINE and his owners lived locally. 

 

Then some utter arsehole tear arsing round in an Audi Q7 ran him over just off the main drag. 

 

It was well sad; and all matey was doing was complaining about the damage to his twat mobile (which ran to a bust foglight). 

 

He nearly got said fog light embedded in the side of his head, complete with shards.

Been boasting to anyone that would listen about the benefits of taking vitamin D supplement daily to avoid getting a cold. 'Not had a cold in over three years' etc etc.

Have today come down with a cold. No ordinary one, like three years worth rolled into one.

Cant get reasonable insurance on MGF.  The at fault claim from 2 years ago seems to stop people quoting.

 

Its total settlement was £12500 - which is fucking massive for a mazda with a dented wing. Anything over £10k seems to be a red flag. 

 

If I cant insure it then I will have to sell it. Bugger

Moog - have you tried a broker? I think W² got a resonable price from my recommended broker Chris Knott. Not sure if he went with them or not, but he did say they gave a good price.

 

If the prang was over 12 months ago they tend to come out well.

Yep tried chris knott, Lancaster and peter best. 

 

The starlet theft is considered my fault because they couldn't claim off anyone  - so two at fault claims plus modified car means no. The people who would accept modified wont take the claims and viceaversa. If I wait a year then they will. 

 

Or just sell MGF and stick some decent tyres on puma.

Ahh not the end of the world. 

 

Moog - Try A-Plan

 

 

Will do this afternoon.

I wore beige trousers to work today. On its own, not a big problem but when I spilt a whole pint of water over myself it became one. It became an even bigger problem when the fire alarm went off and I couldn't just still there and wait for them to discretely dry before I ventured out into public view looking like I'd wet myself.

 

FML

[Stanky]

Just stand near the fire and they'd have dried out quicker

[Tickman]

Wish the ground would open up #1....

 

Fuck.

This is just amateurish in comparison to my wife:

We moved into our current house about 16 years ago, quiet road and everyone knows everyone else (in quite a good way) one day I get a call from her to say she is hiding behind the couch in the living room because she asked one of the neighbours 'when are you due?' this was followed by the fantastic (in my opinion) response of 'due what!'

Oh how I laughed, and laughed.....

Not grumpy as such, more guilty. Hate mot time, Shuma was fine, but the 75 needs £££ of work done. Money i was keeping for the paintwork on the Kia. Needs must but sometimes feel i should get rid of one of them, the money saved could be spent on family stuff. MOT's make me sad

Today's grump comes from the land of cuntish parking and people with elevated tendencies.

I didn't know you were visiting High Street in Cowbridge

[cort1977]

I'll go for Loughton High Rd in Essex.

That's all the smugness biting you in the arse.

I should be in a really happy place at the moment.  I'm away this weekend to take in the Supercar Day MrsR bought me for Christmas, and we're going in Huggy.  I've got a roof over my head, at least half of my health-and-strength, and so on.

But... I ache with arthritis, and I'm very down.  More down than I care to admit to MrsR, who doesn't need that.  I'm even finding it hard to get excited about the weather improving.  Because of the various issues with my fleet?  My permanent cashflow crises?  The constant whinging and bickering that goes on all day every day between people I neither know nor care about, as well as some that I do?  All of that, probably.

Maybe I'm just grumpy.

[The Moog]

Where is the supercar day Eddy?

[eddyramrod]

Elvington, near York.

[Guest Hooli]

Lots of nice aircraft there too.

I'm a fucking expert at this ,  Picture me going to the Dr's with a bad chest, lady Dr stands up from behind her desk and I say loudly " Ahh congratulations! "due to her big belly, cold steely eyes glared at me " I'm not pregnant" . Somehow my examination ended up including my prostate getting a good hard rummaging, without any lube from the feeling of it

We are getting a new oven. Should be a grin but...

 

...I am cleaning the old one because I am worried the man at the tip might judge.

Invite him in for a cuppa and a chat? He might be grateful of it.

When I moved from my place in sunningdale to where I now live I made sure it was spic and span for appearances. Cleaned beneath the fridge and washing machine etc. It was bulldozed to the ground the next day!

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Had enough of wannabe politicians all over social media now. I'd almost be relieved to see incessant photos of plates of food, along with gurning faces in chain pubs again.

Once upon a time, in the early 1980s, there was a lithe, elegant young man who was quite a snappy dresser in his own way, and even a handy dancer.  One has to wonder what happened to him, to produce the fat, lazy scruff I see in the mirror.

My cousin lives in Cowbridge. May explain a few things.
