The grumpy thread

[meggersdog]

Peterborough motorists:

 

Do ANY of you cunts understand how a roundabout works? 

or give way to oncoming traffic at those traffic calming points.

[AMC Rebel]

Today's irrational hatred is for temporary traffic lights "protecting" a totally unblemished and pristine area of carriageway.  In the old days they had to make space for, er, the massive trailer mounted genset needed for, ahem the lights.  Now they don't.

I believe there is a significant proportion of people driving with no valid licence - and I think it's much higher than many people imagine.

 

Add that to pushy gits who DGAF and that explains a lot.

The council resurfaced the eastern half of my street not long ago, and a really good job they did of it. Three months later, one of the utilities has come along and dug it up again, then left behind their characteristic trademark "repair" (sic)

[Tayne]

Coren is a cunt so I'd expect this article to be as distorted as all his other drivel. This champion of state education has his own kids done privately.

If anyone here has been threatened by a vegan I'll bare my arse in Woolworths Heron.

The chef in question was boasting about spiking the food of a group of vegans who'd booked in advance and specifically requested a vegan menu.

 

I'd not want her in my kitchen.

Got a parking ticket in the post from Torbay Council today..............for my reg number but the colour and make are wrong.

 

And I have not been to Torbay for a least 25 years.

 

Also car was at home that day (Fri before Christmas) because I had a little too much to drink the night before.

 

Hopefully this is common sense enough for the good people there to cancel the ticket.

 

Call me cynical but I'm not expecting it to be that easy........

 

Up here the traffic warden takes a few photos of the car in place so when the owner says it wasn't there at that time they have evidence. This will show that they have screwed up if they do it down there.

Ooo, sounds like a bit of plate cloning has been going on. Either that or your plate happens to be the same as a Romanian plate - they use the same AA xx AAA format - running about out there.

[oldcars]

Sick of old cars. The Rover's doors freeze shut, then yesterday the boot opened but would not close because of the ice. Got the boot locked after a while then the brake lights went out. That will be because no mater how many hours of my life i waste the boot still leaks like a sieve. So tempted to get rid of them all.

May be worth a call to your local coppers,if the plate has been copied and stuck on something else who knows what else it'll get used for?

EFA: I believe there is a significant proportion of people driving with no valid brain - and I think it's much higher than many people imagine.

I'd need to see figures before committing to the former statement - until then, it's just speculation, and as Ken says, lots of people are wilfully stupid.

Apparently the car is question drove away while the ticket was being issued.......I reckon a typo but I have asked them if they have a definite reg in case of cloning.

 

I tried a couple of combos that could have resulted........like JVF instead of JVE and that comes up as the correct make/colour on the ticket. But I'm not offering anything up other than saying it was not me!

As I think you've found, the answer is no. Peterborough is where I was pulled over at 3am by what I at first thought was the bill but turned out to be an old Astra with a blue light suckered on the roof. As I stopped the single occupant of the car sped off. The place is full of tossers; I informed the police who were not remotely interested.

I don't buy into extremes on either side of the diet arguement, but you have to wonder where Coren would stand on a restaurant that deliberately shoved nuts down someone with an allergy and killed them. Having stated that fat people should be refused treatment on the NHS maybe he's already shown his hand.

[scaryoldcortina]

^^ That happened, the owner of the restaurant went to jail but the allergy sufferer died.

Roundabouts, priority etc....Its arrogance, ignorance and entitlement. "Fuck you for getting in my way no matter what some lines painted on the road may say."

 

And since hundreds of thousands of kids and teenagers are being raised as special snowflake, always winning, do your own thing, you deserve the best in everything wankers its not going to get better in the future.

You are not alone - all of my chod is playing up in the cold.  Jaaaag windows froze closed and all of 'em have engine management lights on suddenly.  Bastards.

ToMM© looked like a coconut haystack first thing, opened door fired up 1st turn - purring like a cat, deicer tins flying/blower 1000%/HRW (double wide heat section in the centre).

 

Crisp crunch of frosties under the tyres as we murmured off up the street...

I absolutely love the little darlings who pull out in front of me at an island than either flip me off or look gone out when I beep. Well next time I'll shove the little cunt in his Ibiza across the fucking junction. Cocky little twat. Then told me to buy a decent car. I laughed.

[chaseracer]

Yep. It then rots the core plugs which also leak coolant out onto the plugs

 

KWALITEE design, right there...

[Bren]

Someone trying to play me over service history on a £170 car, who (via various small steps) is working his way to a shit offer.

I’ll send him a picture of it when the yard come in the week.

Billy you need to arrange a viewing - get him round while it's being hiab'd.

I dream of doing this - with something properly indestructible but completely anonymous that shrugs off impacts with ageing 3 series ratluks, PCP fiestas and corsas and anything slammed, so it is able to convey me away from the scene of the 'accident' without any tedious chavvy ranting laced wiv 'm8' or swapping of insurance details. In fact, if I find out I have something terminal, I'll make damn sure I have no insurance and see how the little shits like that, the entitled, millenial, 'you can't touch me, I've got rights' wankers.

Sorry....for hijacking YOUR rant bub!

It's funny how they're in such a hurry that they can't wait for someone (who's right of way it is) to go past, but are not in such a hurry that they can bother to accelerate at any perceptable pace. (Not to mention those who brake check you when you get "too close")

I never ever* stopped 6" too late when driving buses or coaches in those circumstances.

[Guest Hooli]

The best one was an idiot who had to cut me up onto a roundabout, he might* have got spun off the road & ended up with his car on it's side against a lamp post. The bus had a crack in an indicator.

 

First thing I asked him as he climbed out? 'was it worth driving like a cunt mate?'.
