The grumpy thread

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Now that really does suck.

[bub2006]

Yes it is. As you may know mr b he has only been back in my life 20 months or so. This is first Christmas ive had him stop over. He said it doesn't matter and thought counted but i could see he was upset.

Woke up yesterday morning with a migraine which knocked me for six, woke up this morning and I still have it in a slightly less excruciating way. My head feels like the whole left side is in a vice.

Wife is working until 20:00 tonight and I am at home with daughter who has wrecked the house and bullied me as only a four year old can do.

Dinner is postponed until Boxing Day.

Got my lad an xbox for Christmas. He loves minecraft and lego so thought was a good idea. Was second hand but worked fine. Lad unwrapped it. Really excited to find the bastard thing wont open draw. Managed to release itand seemed to be fine. Put game in for it to mash it up and seize. Fucking wonderful. Made me feel like shit.

 

That is shit luck.

[bub2006]

Yep it sure is. Ive told him ill have it sorted by next weekend. Do not know how yet but im damned going to do my best.

[Ghosty]

On the upside, everyone knows broken Xboxes can be swapped for cars!

[bub2006]

No good for an 11 year old boy.

[Guest Hooli]

Which model xbox was is it? I'm sure one of us will know of another available.

[bub2006]

An xbox 360. The black 120gb. Maybe an elite?

[Guest Hooli]

I've no idea about them myself, but figured others know more etc

[bub2006]

If anyone knows of 1 for sale please shout though! Even if its the white one i can swap the cases over abd he will think ive fixed it!

[alcyonecorporation]

Sounds like it needs a case, but you've got one of them & can put your HDD in while it's apart too.

Yesterday evening I was driving down a country road with 2 lanes, cars going in both directions but too bendy too overtake safely, but a fast enough road. I was tootling along. An ambulance came flying up behind with lights and siren blaring. I was on the bendy bit but I knew a long straight was coming up so I thought the safest thing to do was speed up as fast as was safe until the straight. When I got to the straight bit there were no cars coming the other way and you could see for half a mile so I just slowed to 30 and drove almost in the gutter. Ambulance starts to overtake but drives parallel to me for a short while then overtakes but as soon as he did he pulled in front, brake checked me then sped off!

 

Was I wrong? Did I upset his ego? I thought what I did was safer than just jamming the brakes on like a lot of the public do

[bub2006]

Sounds like you did the same as id have done. Always taught to get out the way as soon and safely as poss. Brake checking totally unprofessional

[Pillock]

Soz Bub, my Xbox is the same as that slim one. I had a fat one, but typically it went wrong within seconds of me getting it home.

You might need to fess up and get a slim one, most of the originals are busted now as they had loadsa design faults. A lot of secondhand places won't touch them.

[warren t claim]

Fucking ex wives. My boy wanted Nintendo DS whatever games for Christmas and I had to get hard copies off Amazon Prime as apparently downloads off the official site aren't presents as they can't be wrapped and opened.

Staffies deserve better.

 

 

Bub, swap the broken xbox for a Staffie!

[bub2006]

Bugger. I cant afford a slim one. Fuck it.

[alcyonecorporation]

Thanks bud but a fair way to travel. Im just looking local on Gumtree at the minute.

If your laddo can wait I can probably pony express it to you.

 

We can get it to bub, right?

[bub2006]

Pm me and let me know how much please bud and ill try arrange something to collect it.

[Des]

It was Christmas yesterday, we live in a throwaway society, I reckon there'll be an awful lot of those Xbox things being fucked out right now. And the way your boy reacted was admirable, more maturity than I'd muster.

 

[bub2006]

I know des and i admire him too. I try my best and its not what i wanted to happen but i did the best i could manage for him.

Was at my sister's house for Christmas day. Time came for myself, mother and kids to get taxi home. I took my neice as well as she was a bit pissed. We got to her block of flats and she fell out of the cab, so had to carry her to the door. I spent 25 minutes trying to open the communal door before she realised that we were at the wrong block of flats. By the time I got her inside my mum had taken the taxi home, so I had to walk 4.5 miles home as there were no other taxis to be had. Did I mention that it was fuckin snowing at the time!!!

Someone actually got snow????  All we got here was rain

Ladies and gentlemen I will confess....

 

I am a foglight wanker.

 

I turn them on regularly. On twisty country roads it adds visibility and aids me in driving faster through the corners (the Saabs headlights are crap) and in the Mazda they're yellow so look cool.

 

I count how many condescending Wazzocks flash their lights at me and smile inwardly that something so small which doesnt even affect them can wind someone I don't even know up so much.

 

As for dazzling mine don't they're far too old for that.

 

Sorry folks I won't be changing neither.

 

So because YOU deemed them not to dazzle or affect others, its ok to use them deliberately breaking the law which was designed to prevent injury?

 

Selfish wanker.
