The grumpy thread

[BavarianRetro]

Seamaster? Aqua Terre?

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Against my better judgment I got dragged to a Christmas thing at The Albert Hall last night, the best bit of which was Jona Louie being too pissed to do his only hit properly.

That's not the grump though, neither is having to eat at some ghastly chain Italian place , because it was all we could find open at 5pm.

Having to pay £9.00 for 1 1/2 hours on a meter in Kensington isn't the grump either.

 

No, the grump is the cunt in a white Porsche Cayenne that managed to hit the corner of the Volvo and then , of course, just fucked off!

 

To make me even angrier , we were sitting in the window of said chain Italian gaff and I saw the Cayenne leave the space, Mrs N thinks it's better I didn't see him do it as I'd have spent the night in a cell rather than the concert- I'm not that sure it would have been worse.

 

I'll photographically document before and after T-Cut and tears.

Even better...Vauxhall

Caution sweary rant

 

Fucking school

Fucking part time teachers

Fucking TAs teaching the classes thinking they are god.

Fucking making shit up to cover their backs when witnesses say different

Fucking not following through on what they've said.

Fucking up my child's time at school and basically writing him off and washing their hands.

Christ we need to move out of the area.

 

Rant ends sorry

OK which of you shoved barbed wire down my throat whilst I was comatose, I didn't buy a roller but have promised to buy an Omega off a church organist in Yorkshire

You’ve got my sympathies, I’m in agony with it as well.

Before

After

 

It's worse than I thought, not just a bit of paint, the bumper is distorted and cracked.

Probably repairable, but the fact it costs at least £200 whenever a spray gun is fired up it might be as cheap to get a bumper- no shortage of silver V70s around!

Where are you?  How old's SPROG_ROVER?  What's the issue?

 

PM me - I've been through this.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

ME a week ago - hey, internal bods, the laptop is fucked......... look - a video of random mouse/other actions......

Day later - BODS - I'm fucked - I can't do anything and have just committed code that is in no way OK - it went mental on me.............

 

Week later (this morning) - Fuck this - hey Director, I'm stuck - you won't get the service patch in time as I've been stymied with a fucked laptop and no co-operation

 

NOW - thanks for the laptop guys - where's all the software required?

Install yourself

Me - can you give me admin rights then so I can get it done and crack on

Log a ticket and we'll see what we can do

Me - Fuck you, I'm scanning Autoshite and then fucking off for the weekend........... you explain it to the MD!

 

Jesus wept..........

Yesterday, M40, chucking it down Caroline style. I'm down to, what I consider, a safe 55. Overtaking a truck, totally blind for what seems like ages.

Loads still doing 80 in lane 3.

A light grey Bmw Tourer with a 50 ish white shirt bloke came passed with no bloody lights on. Absolute dick on a stick. 

Others with those DRL's and eff all else, or on sidelights. FFS. A meatball has more brains.

[Cavcraft]

We've had this before, it's because the dash lights are on so people think or assume their headlights are.

this is one thing VW got right on the '11 olop- there is a light sensor on the speedo which puts the dash lights out at night so you cant see owt until you put lights on

[alcyonecorporation]

Worst fucking week I've had in a while. 

I'm off to clear my head. 

If you need to get hold of me, ask chaseracer to ping me and I'll log back in. 
Have a nice weekend.

I don't know why but that sounds like a euphemism for something that's going to make you walk like John Wayne. 

[clayts450]

Bollox, just got distracted on bidding for a Badermatic 216 Sli and missed it by a few quid...some lucky shit just got it for £176

I'll walk like John Wayne when the wife finds out she's driving me to Harrogate around new years eve to pick up an MOT'less barge of an Omega

[beko1987]

I'm out in Marlow. Started my drinking career here. Now it's bollocks. Spent so long waiting in the pub everyone is in I've gone somewhere else for a pint...

[clayts450]

Bloody office party season innit - stay well away from town centres me, stick to locals.

 

Bah humbug

"All I want for Christmas is you to get out of my fucking way and let me get on with my day to day life without having the shops and roads snarled up by crowds of morons."

I've nearly always worked all over Christmas: right up to it then back in almost immediately, none of yer pansy fortnight-off shit.  What's my work?  Oh yeah, delivering stuff.  You want bread in the shops?  (Or whatever else I've been carrying in my long career)  Then GTF out of the way of the white van!  I've been up since stupid o'clock and I've still got work to do!

 

Obviously I speak for literally every van driver, ever, anywhere.

Its got to the point that most people cant think for themselves, well soon they will have driverless cars so,will have less to think about.

Was better when it was the Hogs Head etc..

 

Stood having a rolly, some twat is blowing blueberry smoke from a vape at me... He's getting face fulls of rolly at him

[HH-R]

Ah yeah, it'll be time for the once a year drinkers soon... barely out of short trousers, on the sesh, bantz, hashtags and all that... smashed by 8PM from four WKDs and barred for fighting, mammy holding their hair back at 10PM whilst they puke them back up.

[DodgeRover]

Amateurs, in my day the Christmas party was over for 4pm and we were smashed out of our mind in the city centre trying to work out why more people weren't drunk and why we couldn't get a kebab.

[Cavcraft]

I was moaning to myself yesterday about people who can't drive in the snow, shouldn't venture out if they can't manage etc as I was sick of following people doing about 2mph. Anyhow, I was in the Puma, approached a build up of traffic, put the brakes on and slid across a junction, narrowly missing four or five cars and a railing.

 

Who's the 'stupid useless wanker' who can't drive now?

Unless you have a Premium child, you will find that every school is the same.

If they are on Free School meals they get special attention.

I nearly got caught out that way with my first Subaru. The surprise of finding that it drove on snow as if it were tarmac, was tempered by the discovery that it stopped on snow as badly every other car.

[New POD]

I had a telephone screening interview by a team leader yesterday afternoon.

 

I think an offer is on it's way* for something that I don't really want to do but would be quite interesting on a 6am to 2pm shift in Mansfield (only 135 miles away according to google) for 3 to 6 months. Pay isn't too shabby though, although not the best.

 

Because she said. "I need 25 people and so far I've only screened 7 and only 2 have the experience and I only have 1 more to screen. So you'll be hearing from the office on Monday with some paperwork"  

 

I await the outcome of the other jobs I have applied for.

You can't win with physics. Ice has zero grip and snow on ice is as good at rubber on ice. ie not good.

5hr round trip   . Buy a campervan, live in the car park and drive home weekends

EFA.

 

People are too thick to treat driving as a skill that needs practicing & think it's a right after passing a test years ago.
