The grumpy thread

(Alternatively, find his truck and slash all the tyres)

 

I know it was tongue in cheek but I wouldn't recommend slashing a truck tyre, they are at 300 million psi and can quite easily hospitalise you.

Can I interest sir in a Stanley Knife blade on the end of a really long stick?

[Supernaut]

There's a video somewhere of a Chinese guy stabbing a bus tyre and it de-gloves his forearm.

Dad has a 15 plate 1.6 auto focus estate on motability, 65k miles currently. We went to a concert in that london last night and he drove as his blue badge exempts him from the congestion charge.

 

Fark me every time he pulled away from idle the thing juddered like you still had your foot half on the clutch! Pulling away slowly makes it do it longer but not as bad, booting it away results in some quite alarming noises but they don't last as long... Been doing it a while apparently, he keeps meaning to take it to Ford, but being large, reduced mobility etc expects them to lob him the keys to a manual ford KA... It's also got a shocking rear end drone/vibration over 60 which he drowns out with music.

 

If the gooner ever starts juddering pulling away it's going to the SIC hospital for elderly auto boxes and I'll buy something shite again!

Rain again, Reliant rear foot wells have filled up and the rover boot i had fixed is sailing. Though it was summer?

I woke up at 1:30am this morning, rolled over, spat out a filling and went back to sleep.

 

I only had that tooth done a month ago and this is the second time a filling has made an escape for it, might just have the bugger removed entirely as there isn't much actual tooth left. I'm trying to avoid £100 worth of other dental work as I can't actually afford it so my visit to the dentist tomorrow will be fun...

Struggling to find the Highway Code section that instructs people to pull pretty much right out on you on a 50mph road, then do 30mph. Especially when the road behind you was clear.

[eddyramrod]

Don't worry, Billy, I never found it either, but I'm constantly surrounded by people who did.  They're only breathing because I'm a professional.

Just about a year ago I witnessed a minor accident where an arrogant moron on a cycle shot a red light, turned the wrong way into a one-way street and hit a van that was waiting at a red light. Despite dash cam footage, CCTV and several witnesses he told every lie under the sun to the police and insurance to try to blame the van driver.

 

Anyway, today at the same junction I got a sense of deja vu as a (female) cyclist pulled the same stunt and was saved from injury by the actions of an alert coach driver. Who she then abused noisily.

Cyclists do often deserve running over & I say that as a cyclist.

I agree, and am also one too.

[cobblers]

+1, I think being a cyclist makes me even more angry TBH because they're turning the general public even more against us, meaning the limited time I'm forced to spend on the road occasionally is less safe.

The bloke I gave my Dolly 1850 to gets jacked up on vodka and pulls his own teeth. I've not got the balls for that shit!

[Negative Creep]

Recently did a course on helping people with self-harm and self-injury - we sat through all the examples without any reaction until they talked about the person whose method was to pick their filings out with a paper clip, causing the entire room to wince

I cycle for my job and I agree. Some of the trainers actually endorse running reds etc.

I ran a few red lights on a row a couple of years back on my bike, but only because some Lycra clad Hooray Henry complained.

[Ghosty]

Off to a wedding - over the next three days I have to spend a considerable amount of time in the back of the below Fiesta. The seats are shit, there's about 6" too little headroom, the ride is crashy and harsh, there's hardly any legroom, and I'm sharing it with my mum and my aunt who are both mentals to some degree. At least I get my own room in the Devizes Travelodge.

Right, I've had my little rant about this in the Photobucket thread on the open forums, but this has really pissed me off big time so I'm doing it here too!

 

Photobuckets new policy on being complete pricks means no more sharing pics. These pics are mine that I took and they are denying me the use of my own private stuff, instead trying to extort a monthly fee from me in order to carry on as before posting my pics on sites of my choice.

 

This pisses me off.

So mr Photobucket, I'm not going to be ripped off by you. Neither will I ever have to use your fucking shit site or be bombarded with your pissy adverts while trying to use it again.

I've re uploaded most of my pics to Flickr instead so you can just fuck right off you bunch of crooks. Eat my shit!

This has meant lots of anger and annoyance for me as I'm shit with computers and have precisely zero patience or tolerance for them, it has forced me to spend ages trying to re upload my pics to Flickr, then try to work out how to copy the pic link in order to post said pic onto a forum. And now I'm going to have to go back through my threads and edit them all to delete the old Photobucket pic links and post the new Flickr links in their place so my pics work again, which will take ages to do.

 

Bastards, greedy fucking bastards! I hope every single one of Photobuckets users now desert them and their shitty site and their business goes under. Up your arses shit birds.

Had the heating on for the last two days. In the middle of the summer.

 

Global warming MY ARSE!

As a business model judging by the reception it's received on other forums I frequent I would say they will be out of business within 4 months

Good. I'm sincerely glad!

I'll get my yank out this weekend. That should pump out a load of nasty gasses and warm things up for you.

Hit an easy 38 here today,tomorrow looks even better...

Today, I visited a local Evans Halshaw used car outlet to look at a Lexus RX400h.

That's not the complete grump though.

Whilst driving into the customer car park , just as I was alongside a black Audi A6, a fuckwit salesman threw open the driver's door into my car.

 

Damaged bumper, bonnet, wing ,headlamp and wheel.

Audi door fucked up, pillar and wing bent.

 

The Audi was being evaluated as a trade in, looks like they've got to buy it now.

I'm having a load of grief from teenage salesman and sales manager, managed not to hit anyone and going back tomorrow to see Dealer Principal.

The Audi owner has given me his details and is willing to be a witness, the staff are all in full arse covering mode and won't admit anything, oh, and apparently the cctv doesn't work!

[Cavcraft]

What a shower of shit, are they main dealers or just a second hand lot?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Secondhand , branded as Evans Halshaw Motorhouse. I've spoken to head office who have said I need to see the site boss , who's in tomorrow.

 

One of the things the chippy little sales manager asked, was; ' Why were you on our property?'

My response that I was there to buy a car seemed to annoy him, perhaps if I was a trespasser they thought they'd get away with it.

 

Not that I'd give these cunts £8000 of my money now anyway, but apparently the Lexus was condemned by the workshop so never should have been advertised!
