The grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

Poor show that Mo, hope they arrive soon.

Fucking idiots that can’t fucking park, then walking past my car and banging my wing mirrors, even though I’m sitting in the fucking car looking angry. I look angry because I fucking am! Today’s idiot? Peugeot 2008 driver. Took her four attempts to get into the - completely normal - space and I had left plenty of room on that side...

Even better... Went into Tesco, on the Coast Rd, on the day of the 'great whiteout' and carpark had about 15 cars.

 

All cars generally plonked anywhere, relative to the entrance, but well apart...

 

I pull up.. In a line of sorts, well away from the next car.

 

Fucking dweeb in a white Nissan splodges to a halt on my passenger side and SWMBO could hardly open the door

 

.... I did not Believe IT!!

The inference is the picture looks like it was taken out of a plane window. I had to think about it too!

 

...but when did planes start having window cills

[Louise2cv]

I still don't get it.

[Cheggers]

I still don't get it.

Me neither...I sort of get the plane thing but why "FFS"

I think maybe the ffs was because he was looking out of a hotel window instead of being home or on a plane ?

[SierraMikeHotel]

Here, or the design engineers thread?

 

I am on a train that doesn't have any luggage racks.

Guessing here, but was there further snowfall overnight, further diminishing Supernaut and 17coffees' chance of a triumphant* return to these shores?

 

Been scratching my head since this morning and that's all I can come up with. Either that or he'd been promised a room with a view of the car park.

[wuvvum]

That was my interpretation too.  Flight postponed / cancelled because of snow.

[Supernaut]

We got back fine today.

 

I was exaggerating, but it was slightly vexing to wake up to snow in the Hague after being put up there due to a flight cancellation the previous day caused by... snow.

Went outside earlier to harvest my forced rhubarb for crumble ( having already done crumble part), to find it all limp and floppy under the black bucket. It was ok Friday. Damned snow.

I reckon I'd be limp & floppy after 2 days under a black bucket

Erm..

Changed mortgage provider and completed last week but we forgot to cancel the direct debit on our old one (Santander). Fuckers have just taken out the money again.

I bet this is going to require a lot of arguments, time and stress to get this back.

 

Exact same happened to us when we moved from Santander for Nationwide.

 

Probably easiest then to nip in to a branch with some ID and they should be able to sort it for you.

The powers that be (financial ombudsman etc) take a very dim view of incorrectly claimed direct debits as it tends to undermine the principles of trust that the whole system is based on.

 

Tried that, got nowhere. Despite being promised the transfer would be smooth and hassle-free, we paid twice that month and there was nothing we could do.  Santander blamed Nationwide.  Nationwide blamed Santander.  All to do with some daft office worker not submitting things in the right order.  We did get a sense that there was a cover-up.

 

Yes, it hurt us as we were paying £1100 a month at the time.

We were in Melbourne the other day, and one of my lads in the office found a comedy night thing that was promising a 'Big British Act' and a whole evening of comedy for $13. About seven or eight quid. Bargain thinks I, let's go for it. The Aussie comedians? Pretty bloody hilarious by all accounts, very enjoyable amongst the beers.

 

Finally, the british act was due. They were keeping a tight lid on it. Excitement was building.

 

...Ross Noble. Fucks sake. Absolutely shiters and rambling on. Whoever told Ross Noble that he was a comedian needs to be sat down and the error of his ways explained.

[SiC]

I like Ross Noble and I find him funny. That's the thing about comedy, some people find some hilarious, some offensive and others not funny. Most comedians don't get on TV and popular by being placed or picked, it's through hard work, graft, practice, skill and many years of bugger all money. Unlike a lot of "celebrities" nowadays. So there must be plenty of others who find him funny.

 

He's also supposed to be a top bloke in person too.

[wuvvum]

**cills.

***seals.

[chaseracer]

Will it be 'jam(b)' tomorrow?  And is there honey still for tea...?

[Cavcraft]

Imagine being the bloke in the factory who sits on sills as he seals the cills?

[Jim Bell]

I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving

England is mine, it owes me a living

But ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye

Oh, ask me why, and I'll spit in your eye

But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore

No, we cannot cling to those dreams any more

No, it wasn't like those days, aaaaaaaaaaam I SILL ILL??

[HH-R]

Fucks sake, I changed my address with Tesco Mobile 2 months ago, just happened to log in to the website for another reason and it's still listed as my old address.

 

Looked back in my emails and I had to reply to an email they sent me confirming I wanted it changed. Course I did, or I wouldn't have asked, would I? Surprised the direct debits worked.

 

Why is getting anything done with telcos so hard?

[tooSavvy]

HH-R "..Why is getting anything done with Tescos so hard?"

 

When we were away, at Leeds, the anklebiter got her eye on 'Walls Breakfast roll' at the local Tesco. She ate a few over the days and loved them...

 

 

Back here we don't have them at our local. I sent a 'Request' into the Tesco App, using our card details + phone number = "We will ring you back within 48hrs" in the automated response box.

 

  nothing, of course.

 

I chopped the store manager, yesterday, and he says he will look into the stocking of Walls = I see him around the store all the time & will chase him up.... We Will SEE

Why do some dickhead dog owners think it’s ok to let their dogs shit on the path just because it’s snowed? Our nipper went through piles of hidden shite twice today. They must have done it when it was snowing and just not given a toss. Cunts.

I like picking it up because it keeps yout hand warm a bit in the snow. People unwilling to pick a bit of shit up definitely dont have the correct mindset to care for another living thing. Theres no excuse for being a cunt.
