The grumpy thread

[Captain Furious]

Hadn’t seen the nationwide ads so I’ve just had to look to see what the fuss is about. Nothing really that gets my grumpometer above a 2 or a 3

 

The main grump is I found the video of it on an independent story about the death threats, then had to watch a friggin 30 second ad before I could watch the 20 second nationwide ad..

[Captain Furious]

Also hadn’t seen the celebrity hatred thread but I’m glad it’s not just me who thinks James Corden is a fucking fat knob.

[Tamworthbay]

As irritating as they no doubt are, some sad bastards have been sending them death threats, apparently.

  

It depends what constitutes a "death threat"...If James Corden's people ever get to read the Celebrity Hatred thread I can just imagine the press release.

I had a look at the reports, some were obviously tongue in cheek along the lines of ‘if we all chip in a few quid then we could get them silenced for good’, but others were really nasty and clearly from people with some serious issues that may require a stay in a nice warm room with very soft wall paper. Some real nutters out there.

The new nationwide adverts with those two irritating arseholes singing. Really getting on my tits.

 

 

Geo-blocked so my moobs are spared.

If you are an organised person try not to die after 3pm on a Friday. Can’t get a death certificate until Monday afternoon. Just means that the displacement activity of starting to organise and plan can’t happen until Tuesday.

 

Word of mouth from the vicar is that there’s a fortnight backlog at the crematorium anyway. Australian flu!

A couple of pages back folk talking about people walking round holding phone on speaker phone. On the rare occasion I have to answer the phone in public i use speaker phone. If I don't and hold it to my ear my hearing aids whistle and screech. I'd rather use speaker then have the horrid noises in my ear. But I do at least look where I'm going.

Those two morons piss me off too. To make matters worse they’re on the radio now too!

To M&S at retail park to buy daughter food to cook for Mother's Day meal. Narrow car park aisles clearly painted with one way arrows. 3 cars driving against the flow and not moving across until collision was imminent. Maybe the Saxo doesn't scare them enough - Chieftain tank?

Opened up our caravan.Despite draining the system and isolating the water the recent freezing conditions caused the pipes under the van and to the water heater to piss everywhere. More expense.

'S alright landlord, you get the rent every month and I'm going blind with stress at the amount of work I've got to sort out but I'll spend an entire day of my precious weekend sorting out a room that doesn't need cleaning. No, I'm not prepared to do that, actually.

 

No, don't go in there in there to 'clean' and break all of my stuff moving it around.

 

How about instead of complaining about a stain from a piece of blu tack on the wall that could be easily painted over, you sort out the enormous crack in the facing wall caused by damp that I told you about six months ago? How about getting the aerial feed working again which failed after two days?

 

How about you actually provide me with a working bulb for the room which you wouldn't let me touch so took three weeks to fix?

 

Ever heard of quid pro quo? You help me, I help you. Look it up, it's not fucking difficult.

On a more serious note, we both come from Hertfordshire 

 

 

 

 

That is serious.

 

Herts should have been used for A bomb tests in the fifties with Hitchin as the epicentre.

 we gave some detailed feedback in a polite way

 

 

 

'It were fucking wank m8'.

 

One great thing about Sheffield is that it has endless great restaurants, mostly on London Road.

got into st asaph 

 

 

 

You live there?

used to drain our tourer then pour winter screen wash down drains and toilet . Only used bottled water so used to put it in water tank and then run it through.

Last time I went it looked like it had.

Has it just pushed the joints apart or split the pipes?

FFS that is another mate of mine just died.   His step-son died last month and they haven't even had that funeral, now he has gone too.    It's hit me hard this one.

[RayMK]

Commiserations.  It is tough losing friends and tougher still when you see their families trying to cope with a double loss. Reflecting on the good times may eventually penetrate the sadness.

[Noel Tidybeard]

I always tip, I tip the Sainsburys delivery guy, the binmen, the postie and anyone else who does a 'service' job.

 

why would you tip the bin man- they do less than they used to and get paid about twice what i do!

ahh well you get arley barley cos of the hearing aids then- isnt there a setting that links hearing aids and fone?

[Lacquer Peel]

You get paid less than the minimum wage?

That's no fun!  I've just lost one of my writer friends over the weekend too.  Commiserations, totally.

 

Maybe we need to start making younger friends so we've got some to outlive?

First communication from sons new school that he will be starting next year is a welcome letter and a form to do a direct debit for a suggested £25 voluntary donation to the school funds.

The amount of support we've given the country via HMRC the last 3 years they can forget that I'm afraid

 

Oh and on tipping Mrs DR gives the postman a bottle of wine at Christmas as he goes well beyond what is expected.

[tooSavvy]

That fucked me off immensely in the states. If it says $3 on the shelf, surely that's the price? No sir, we have 9% sales tax here which you have to add on. Thank goodness they don't do that here

[gullible schmuck] I believe local sales tax is 'voted for', locally, to spend locally? [/gullible schmuck]

 

... unlike foreign wars/train bailouts with trusty UK V.A.T.

Nonsense, absolute nonsense at that. The majority of them are minimum wage/contractors now, and when you consider some of the sites they have to see (and handle) every day, you wonder how they do it. 

[nebuchenezer]

FFS!

 

Father neb:

 

[nebuchenezer]

To the driver of BU15 JYN

 

I will find you

 

I really enjoyed getting covered with puddle water this morning

 

Perhaps the police will pull you for having a cloned plate white van cunt
