The grumpy thread

Imagine spending a week proving to some prick who's on four times your wages that they were wrong.

Hmmm, smug satisfying or under valued and frustrated?

I hate them twats, they get 2nd gear 'flyby' when I'm on the bike.

A loose hand full of change falling out of your pocket once in front would be a shame...

Or served on a bit of slate/wood/shovel/paving slab

I was in an eatery recently and they served chips in a MINIATURE SUPERMARKET TROLLEY !!! FFS !!!

They're not as good as the IRA are they? I mean the IRA stuff used to go BOOM, proper right tidy, whereas this lot just go fizzle most of the time.

 

All modern terrorists are rubbish.

Aye, it was a bit of a pathetic effort by all accounts.  Most of the injuries seem to have come from fuckwits panicking and standing on each other rather than from the device itselt.

Due to this mornings outage, I fitted my new heated grips & the throttle cable snapped while I was at it.

 

Meh, so that's me in the car next week while I order the part.

[DodgeRover]

Universal cable and a soldering iron?

[Guest Hooli]

It's snapped right on it's sharpest curve so I doubt a soldered joint would last long. Tbh at 113k (almost) it's the sort of thing I expect to start failing so I don't mind replacing them.

Fugginell, selling a car in the middle east. Advertised the Armada at 29,000 AED, instantly get 5 "last price" texts and more offers of 13-15k, along with sob stories about not being able to afford any more because only a security guard / nurse / whatever. Well go and find a fucking cheaper car then, thats not my fucking problem.

 

I'll just stick it back down in the garage and forget about it I think. Can't be arsed with them.

Mrs Crunella Fidge was a lovely old woman. She was getting on but in her opinion an excellent driver.

Her old car was getting on too so one day in 1985 she popped into her local Rover dealers to see what they had to offer.

 

She was taken with an old favourite, the Mini.

The salesman was tremendous! Very shiny suit and shoes. He recommended the base model. Nothing too fancy but enough for Mrs Fidge's needs. Red! It had to be red. It was the colour of her last car and always reminded her of her father's cars.

 

The anticipation of its arrival was overwhelming but a few weeks later it was here! Mrs Fidge loved that car more than any other and treated it to anything and everything, they were inseparable.

 

They stayed this way for a long time until Mrs Fidge became just a little too frail to drive. She parked it in the garage and promised her grandson that when he'd learned to drive it would be his.

 

Unfortunately when the time came he didn't want it and it stayed in the garage for many years until one day...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What the fucking fuck? Stupid hipster wankers got their hands on it!

[Guest Hooli]

Fucking hipsters, they need a kick in the head for that one.

 

In fact they need kicking in the head until they stop moving & then kicking until they move again.

[Guest Hooli]

Never had any luck with them, I end up melting the new end & having to buy a real cable anyway.

Much as I'd like plates what offends me most of all about getting my chips in a miniature supermarket trolley is that the trolley's not FULL SIZE and FULL OF CHIPS.

[Pillock]

It was personal in that they knew my mobile number and first name. Either Paypal or somebody working there appears to have forwarded my details.

 

Sorry - badly worded. I meant "it's not coincidence, because it's a personal message"

[dollywobbler]

3 hours for an ambulance, o rly? The UK has a lot of problems and clearly Bulgaria is beautiful and the cost of living is cheap but it's not for everyone. How many of us can work online or afford to not work?

A friend saw an elderly chap fall over in Llandudno at the weekend. It took 2.5hrs for an ambulance to arrive, despite the fact that this man was pretty badly hurt. Not the first time I've heard of this either.

[DodgeRover]

Be easier to call a taxi if they were mobile enough and not bleeding everywhere.

Daughter has a boyfriend. 

He's a proper know-it-all motormouth. Knows everything, has done it all faster/longer/quicker. Spouts rubbish about things he could quite easily just STFU about - like the stuff I do at work, talking crap and knowing nothing. 

For example, I had a load of documents about the iPhone launch, knew just the basic level of info I knew to do my job. He comes in and starts telling me "facts" and "dates". 100% utterly wrong, as it happens, but then it'll be their fault for changing things at the last minute.

 

He's really starting to fuck me off. He's one of those where everything is "classed" too. 

"Oh yes, an Audi is classed as one of the top three cars". "Converse trainers are classed as the best available" CLASSED AS? WTF does that mean? 

 

I've got the Astronaut program on TV and like fucking clockwork, he knows the details of every bit of NASA training.

[Timewaster]

You can't sit on that forever.

You are going to either make him look stupid in front of everyone or if that is too much trouble a simple STFU might do.

[HH-R]

And if that fails, send him the requisite number of Argos catalogues.

One of the best uses for a Mini that I've ever seen.

[gordonbennet]

I used to work with a bloke like that. I was moaning about him to my Dad one day (I still lived at home then) and he said they had a bloke like that who they used to call "Elevenerife", because if you'd been to Tenerife, he'd done one better.

 

But after a couple of weeks someone at work started calling the guy 5 skin, and that stuck the whole time he worked there (if you had a foreskin, he had a 5 skin).

 

We used to work with a bloke who had done more better faster bigger longer louder than anyone else.

 

One of the Geordies, who always had the right saying to hand, named him Six Shits (cos if you had the trots and had five shits he'd have had them worse), the name stuck.

 

He eventually sodded off and another even cleverer bugger turned up, he got the moniker Eight Shits by the end of the second week.

Can't stand sob stories like that. I've heard them all when I've sold cars, I can see them coming. I couldn't give a fuck about their personal circumstances, were selling a car not collecting for the Red Cross.

Daughter has a boyfriend...

 

Chris, you're the father-figure: he's trying to impress you and/or look good in front of her.  Clearly, he will fail in both endeavours!

 

Anyway, she's what? - 17?  He'll be replaced soon enough...
