The grumpy thread

[Des]

Why the swipe at an entire generation?

Did alcyone say he was dealing with a millennial?

There are plenty of self-entitled people in their 40s, 50s, 60s...

 

Have a shufties inside the M25 anyone who would like to confirm this, every generation of arsehole in abundance here.

Must say I'm pretty impressed at how many Millennials are normal and down to earth, I was on my second turboed up car and had a house when I turned 25 on slim pickings mechanic wages, just as the good times had ended. Were I born two decades later that would have been a moped and renting a pokey fraction of a dwelling while battling to not get into debt. If I'd joined the game at the current asset stripped stage I'm then forced to pay for, then witnessing those who joined before me behaving like a German tourist with his beach towel, I don't think I'd manage calm and well balanced.

What the fuck do i do? Sick and tired of feeling like im sinking. Cant see no light and im nearly breaking. Everything has now got to me and i cannot see a way up. Im honestly scared and thats not like me at all.

 

at least you have got the good sense to tell others (whatever good we may be) and not keep it totally bottled up

 

maybe you need another discusion with Double Decker Dave about which way is up lol

You wouldn't be suffering a bit of post traumatic from when you got balled up in the Escort van Bub? It's a bit of a nasty condition that's easily ignored.

Hey, Northern Irish van buyers!!!!!!1

Did you know that there's some fucking water between you and Cambridgeshire where my van is? 

Did you know that ferry crossings are really fucking expensive, as is fuel? 

Could you maybe perhaps possibly pretty please fucking well factor this into whether or not you'd like to buy my van and actually complete the transaction, eh? 

Thanks! 

PS: If I haven't even fucking well been to NI and can figure this out, why can't you?

Worth a chat with your local leech-botherer, Bubster.

Could be a point. Over the past few weeks though my marriage has broken down,work is shite,im generally struggling to live and its all just getting to me. That's why im feeling so lost and down. Tumble dryer blew up which may seem like nothing but i cant replace it so struggling to do laundry as i havent got a garden and my work uniform is needed at short notice. Had to make a quite hard decision regarding finances too this week which will leave me in the shit whichever way i choose too so thats got me down. Ex mrs getting on at me to clear storage unit out too so that can be fucked off.

One of my mates died the other day. Used to go drinking with him in the 90's, he was one those characters who just always made you laugh, proper 'life and soul' job and never ha d a dull second with him. He collapsed and died in the street in his 40's

 

You know what pisses me off is rich people constantly encouraging you to save, to put money into your pension , why, so they can get rich on your money, you save up for 30 years so they can give you £50 a week of it back if you're lucky enough to make it to 65-66-67-68 depending which goalpost they're moving , then if you're unlucky bang you're gone and they keep most of it 

 

Fuck em , enjoy yourself while you're young, I'm 56 now, I don't want to live past 75 if I'm in good health, 70 if i'm bolloxed, 40s is proper shit, I'm sorry to hear you've lost a mate, 5 years ago a mate of mine took a handful of pills in his 40s , I hadn't seen him for a few years as I really didn't like his wife but it came as a big shock , his funeral was really depressing, though I did learn what "suddenly at home" means in the obituaries

Someone has just Ebayed me £10 for an item that was going in the skip so that won't repair your bimble dryer but will pay for a pizza delivery to you (I have not checked so may be bolloix). Ping an PM and I'll paypall the  £10 as my fave pizza is chilli with extra chilli and a side of chilli which may make your arse go nuclear when you are trying to work.

[bub2006]

Thanks folks but honestly ill be right,folk here have helped me out too much in the past.

[bub2006]

Not a grump as such but was stuck in very slow moving traffic this morning into Scarborough. Not sure if it was the cause as it's always busy there but we eventually got to a broken down C1/107/Aygo thing.

 

Bloke aged 20's in it, people just driving round him, had his hazards on, don't know if it had just happened. Pulled up at the side.

 

Asked him was it broken? Yes. Want a push to the side? Yes. OK then. Very light got it rolling and as he was near an island road clear again. Left him with it as moved it quite a bit and them bumped it onto the grass verge.

 

Not difficult, took less than 5 minutes. Why didn't other people help??

[alcyonecorporation]

They were bidding on my van.
