The grumpy thread

[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.

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.

 

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.

[John F]

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.

 

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.

After 17 years me and the wife have split ! A few weeks trial but not looking good tbh . I've been a stressy cunt with work and I'm going to scale it right back and hope I can be a better husband / father .

Change your avatar, Eddy....

 

I have been much happier since I became an overweight (albeit sadly deceased) Ted with dodgy suits, slightly questionable trading methods and a complete inability to take anybody else seriously.....

Hope it all works out for you mate, ive been married nowhere near as long and been through all that, its horrific!

[AlabamaShrimp]

Sodding ST is at it again with the weird clicking. Might be some ingredients to do with those stupid motors they put in the lights to level them as it stops when their off.

 

Same it's also making a another buzzing noise and had a strange idle earlier (sort of up and down noise) stupid modern car I've no idea what's wrong with it. It's going to Ford they can deal with it...

Sorry to hear that, chief, hope things work out for you all.

[trigger]

All the best fella, i hope you can work things out.

If they offer you a run in their 'really, really good, Top Gear endorsed' jet car, politely decline. 

[DodgeRover]

Grr 3 punctures to take to get repaired, I need space to fix my tyre machine down

 

On the plus size the little Katsu 12v compressor has blown them up quickly

Time. Time is what happens to all of us my friend. You are not alone. I look in the mirror and see an extra chin and white/grey hair. That surely isn't me is it? Yep.

I walked into my garage this morning ready for a lovely Jaguar drive only to find my freshly rebuilt differential has dumped all of its oil on the floor.   

 

Suspected gasket failure from the quick glance I had. Hopefully, as it was just rebuilt at the specialists, they will fix it for me. If not, more money! Yay!

Trivia: I once drove my first Piazza, D888 XJM, at a GPS verified 130 mph on Elvington's runway. 

 

I wasn't supposed to be there, but I went anyway.
