The grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

God no, I hate R4. All those people talking....

 

*screams*

 

Absolute classic rock or classic FM for me.

[MrDuke]

Sorting out train tickets for the weekend, through the National Rail site.

 

"Cheapest" option for the whole (3-stage) journey: £51.20

 

Actual price when buying the 3 tickets seperately THROUGH THE SAME ****ING SITE: £18.10

 

I know it should be a grin because it's cheaper, and it only took me an extra 10 or so minutes of faffing about, but in an age when I can have the virtual tickets sent instantly to my phone, why the hell can't I get real prices from a website without manually re-entering the exact same details that it already knows?

Radio 4 that's where it's at. If I lived on my Todd I really wouldn't bother with the idiot box. I take inspiration from my mum, they didn't have a TV until she'd be about 15. They spent the evenings doing crafts or actually having a conversation, bizarre as that seems these days.

I talk to myself frequently. No one else to talk to. I always tend to use tv or somesuch to fall asleep to as well. Hate being alone,hate struggling physically and mentally. I struggle to even change my socks. Not good at all.

Give up trying to cope all by my fucking self - 10 months off the meds and I am back to square -149

 

Not going near Citilopram again, GP prescribed Sertraline. low dose to start with

 

grump because I dont like taking pills

It is just a synthetic hormone, if you do not have enough of the hormone naturally then take it as a 'supplement' 

 

I take 8 tablets a day (used to be nearer 18) and inject myself once every two weeks as I have fucked joints, it helps (lets me actually function) and no one bats an eyelid about it.

 

Medicine is still medicine no matter what the ailment.

[MarvinsMom]

I talk to myself frequently. 

i talk to myself all the time, its the only time that i hear any sense!

[purplebargeken]

I swear at myself more than talk. 

 

Hey ho.

[Guest Hooli]

I talk to myself frequently.

 

But who wins the arguments?

[chaseracer]

^ The other bloke, if Bub's internal dialogues are anything like mine... 

[bub2006]

He's always arguing back. Like being married again. Thing is he talks sense.

[D Spares & Tyres]

That's very disappointing, unless there's a reasonable explanation.  We don't do that to each other here...

Yeah we do...

 

Took his deposit then never heard from him again. Strange.

Fast food workers be like "We want 15 euros an hour"

Aye, I ordered a McChicken, not a fucking McLettuce with a little bit of chicken on it and I didnt order extra mayonnaise smeared all over the outside of it.

Every fucking time.

Cunts. Sooner they all get replaced with conveyor belts, the better.

 

 

Some fart sniffer at the supermarket has dinged and scratched the side of the MGF. Just as well I dont really care about it otherwise I would be really pissed about that.

 

 

Get home to find a letter. "Oh hai, remember all that tax money you gave us last time? well, for really, really vague reasons, we have decided it wasnt enough and need another 300 sheckles. Hugs and kisses, The Gubberment."

Cunts.

Cyclists (I'm one) using THEIR FUGGIN PHONE!!!! This tosser was riding along, wobbling all over the place in the cycle lane (narrow enough and on the road itself anyway) while trying to read something and text or reply etc.... other cyclists were forced around him - into traffic - including a mother and child...... after the third set of lights I opened my door - he still hadn't noticed until I was out of the car........ I didn't even bother with the local lingo with a W T A F......

I cycle too - but for fuggs sake - I guarant fuckin tee if he'd been even gingerly tapped at any point it would be the tin can drivers fault........... animal-felching-jizz-fiddler

[Cavcraft]

Yes, God for bid some poor sod on shit money standing on their feet all day working for a restaurant* chain turning over billions of dollars asks for a rise. They should be made to work for free

[dave21478]

Asking for a rise is one thing, demanding higher pay than a teacher can get right to fuck.

[omegod]

Bint in a fiat 500 thought it was perfectly fine to drive on a dual carriageway whilst leaning down squinting at her phone in a dash holder and have a text conversation for at least 4 miles, she literally wasn't looking at the road for 10 secs at a time, my gasted was highly flabbered

[Supernaut]

I'm not good enough for an express visa for Canada, it seems.

 

Filled in all the online forms and submitted them, then got an automatic rejection a few minutes later.

I didn't meet requirements in several categories. One of the categories is previous work experience in Canada... They also have a grading system for jobs you have experience in. I don't seem to have enough experience in high-enough graded jobs for their liking. I also haven't already got a job offer in Canada (which was one of the questions)

I can't even register on the Canadian gov job bank without a code you only get once your application has been accepted.

 

 

So yeah. I dunno.

[MrDuke]

Marry a Canadian?

[Supernaut]

Had a visit from the accountant today -always makes me grumpy. He walked in asking why we weren't listening to our leader Jeremy Corbyn ( we didn't hit it off a few years ago when I told him I was a champagne communist who thought people should pay taxes if they want a civilised society).

 

then went off on a long speech about selling shares to our wives to give them the tax free dividends etc. Took 5 mins before we had chance to tell him that neither of us had wife nor significant other at home.

It was quite funny as I was staying shtumm, and I was sitting opposite my business partner who was getting visibly annoyed at both the accountant and me for not stopping him speaking. I liked the previous guy- very smooth guy called sha shama, who liked my fiat, but was forced out to retirement by the new guard.

 

The accountant now says, not unreasonably, that we can pay a dividend of £5k tax free to next April. But doesn't understand that this is something new and scary and we need to be shown how to dot every I and cross every T.

Also, it will mean doing a tax return which is something we've been avoiding having to do for years.

 

The decorators have been in all week ( not a euphemism) and I have a BSI audit on Friday.

[chaseracer]

You didn't hit it off with the bean-counter, or with Jezza? 

[MikeR]

Asda self service tills that dont scan properly  , I had to leave a load of choccy sweets behind because I got pissed off .......

[clayts450]

The only redeeming feature of a self-service till is that one can buy one's haemorrhoids potions and ointments both secretly and without fear of snigger-isms from a cashier (usually a MILF)

Ladies and Gents, if any of you are feeling low, please speak to someone. Don't bottle it up.

Worked for a mate of mine. He moved over there a few years ago now.

[The Moog]

My mate married a girl from Canada. Moved out there and she turned mental and started abusing him. He came back after 6 months.

 

On flip side when I lived out there I loved it.

It seems wrong to "Like" this, so I am quoting it instead.

 

Bren is 100% on this one.

Sorry to hear this. If im honest the thought has crossed me mind lately. Feeling ive got nothing. I find it hard to open up to people but after some very good people from here offering me advice on what steps to take ive opemed up to the professionals. Recieved the call today saying i have a care coordinator on my side. Got a CAB meeting tomorrow and referred to social care for adaptions or a more suitable property for me and my disability. Also got to fetch a food bank voucher which is quite demeaning in one respect and i feel there is others out there more deserving of professional help than me. But yes i will see how it plays and ill try not to be so stupid in the meantime.

[chaseracer]

"This too shall pass", Bubster.  We've got your back 

[omegod]

I gave a guy a food voucher last week, he's a mega skilled guy who's worked for 30 yrs solid and he was equally resistant, I'd much rather give one to someone like you or him than the majority of people who are after them cos they can't be arsed getting off their couch working of have a brand new audi Q7 outside.

 

Don't worry bout it Bub
