The grumpy thread

THE WASHING MACHINE IS MAKING ODD NOISES, I FOUND THIS, YOUR A FUCKING TWAT ETC

 

 

Ah so that's where my keycard went the other day... But shit, where's the blade bit... Gulp

 

Hoping the internal pipework is large enough to flush it through to the filter but part of me thinks it's wedged somewhere and about to cause trouble

 

Bollocks, thank God for a spare keycard...

Anybody got a traders policy with trade wise?

Tried to find a contact email for them with no luck but they might be interested in this

I opened my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Not so far far away, someone chapping at my door
Holding £1, and a half eaten twix
A leather jacket for peanuts is what he wants.

I'm trying to sell my coat, 
Leather shining, wonderful and new
And in the east coast, some idiot was waking 
Any dream will do

A crash of doors, a flash of light

The little fecker flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone

May I return to the beginning
The dream is dimming, 
The world and I are still waiting
Still hesitating

For a decent gumtree buyer

To buy my coat.

Trade wise seems to be the go to insurer for these cunts - I’m guessing they are slack.

 

Also - NJ51OBE isn’t on MID...

Grrrrr little shit at school has punched and scratched my daughter (primary school), kid who did it is an ongoing problem in the school. Right then, think its time to knee cap his dad as an example of "repercussions"

 

 FTFY

 

In reality - be prepared for total denial, OTT angry response and an absolute knuckle dragger attitude. I sincerely hope not, but haven't had a common sense reply either time I've tried.

Son (7) now does Krav Maga and I've taught him how to do certain restraint holds and where to strike....... If they dish it out, they'll learn how to take it too. I'll back him to the hilt as long as he isn't instigating trouble and he knows it.

 

As long as your child knows you have his/her back (as the other parent will do too) then they'll appreciate it all the more and have confidence in themselves.....

 

Good luck (and to jnr too)

[Kiltox]

That’s pretty hardcore for a 7 year old!

Hoping the internal pipework is large enough to flush it through to the filter

 

It's not.  The key will be jammed in the outlet pipe just before the drain pump.

 

I've yet to find a washing machine that isn't fairly easy to remove the outlet pipe from the drum to the drain pump and empty it out.  You will probably find:  Several coins,  Several buttons,  Various bits of plastic, a couple of hairbands, a disgusting mix of soap scum and hair, and your missing key.

 

I once found an entire sock jammed in the outlet pipe of a washing machine I had just been given for free because it "doesn't wash very well".  No shit!  Still, a £500-when-new 3-year-old washing machine for free because of a sock was a bargain.

Does the keycard still work after all that?

You missed out the inevitable bra wires

To be a bit clearer - the Krav Maga course teaches anti snatch techniques for kids - so if grabbed they know how to lash out and where to go for. It's a grounding in self defence for them before they learn how to strike where and why. It's quite popular here as there are a lot of political and diplomatic kids in the area. He does a roaring trade!

 

The standing up for himself only came after 2 girls left his last school due to a bullying boy in the class. I showed him what to do and why...... end of bullying. This was only after speaking with the parents - other end of the scale - diplo wankers that weren't dealing with the proletariat so ignored everything said to them by various mums n dads.

It doesn't matter the social level - there's always one........... I just want my son to be prepared.

Report the corrupt piece of shit to the police.

[Coprolalia]

I do a fairly chilled martial art that focuses on minimising an attack, and then holds and pins.

We have quite a few kids come along, and fully intend for my kids to do a martial art... When I have some!

Doubtful, it rattles apparently... Ideal time to crack it open and have a go at keycard repair in my eyes!

That's what I don't want... It's a fairly new machine after the old one exploded internally so I won't find any loot I doubt. Luckily a few of the hoover collectors collect washing machines so someone should be able to tell me how to have it apart... Will check the filter first though, and hope for an easy win! Hopefully it's snapped the plastic trim on the key so it can't bind up

They don't get as far as the outlet pipe. They remain stuck between the fixed and rotating drum for the rest of eternity making a clicky-clacky noise remeniscent of the American trend from the 1980's of 10-year-olds putting baseball cards in the spokes of their pushbike wheels.

 

Last thing I forcibly removed from our washing machine drain pump was an entire shoelace. Does explain why it kept stopping with a pump-out fault. I can't even begin on how that got there.

DAB Radio again... it takes nearly 30 minutes to get a signal and then another 30 minutes to a day to find a place where it doesn't loose that signal every time someone opens a door or farts.

I gave up in the end and snapped the fucking aerial off of it, stuck a couple of meters of tying wire in the broken bit and threaded it through various orifices to the outside where, touch wood, it's been bang on. Utter shit.

You need a better aerial! My £15 Sonichi magnetic external one has been spot on!

What's that then? My two (7 and 5) do karate and the 7yo has also been doing jiu-jitsu and is mad keen.

 

There is also a judo club locally, don't know whether to try that when she's older.

I noticed on the local news last night that Derby council are blitzing £35k on clearing up all the shite from the sides of the A38, thanks fellas if you’re reading

Near me there are always large stockpiles of straw which get taken away during the winter to be burnt for power generation. Until 5 years ago many of them were ignited prematurely. The owners now use hidden cameras which following a few successful prosecutions seems to have stopped the problem. I know that some flytippers have been caught like this, but it needs to be applied to more trivial dropping of litter. I'd include shooters who leave their spent cartridges all over the ground as littering scum, along with farmers who decorate the countryside with discarded plastic sheeting and anything else they no longer use. The crap they leave around is just as ugly as a discarded sofa.

[DodgeRover]

Went to weight some steel in, arrived just after they had cut the tyres off a set of nice slot mags ruining them in the process

 

FFS - all non modern shit alloys now to be put on one side for me

[Steve79]

Been off of work for three days now with a stinking cold, aching and generally feeling like death. Wife is suffering as well. Not what you want when you've also got a 5mth old baby who likes a 5am start to the day!

[Captain Furious]

I dunno whether it was just because the discussion on here has brought it into my consciousness, but friggin ell, the amount of rubbish blowing around the carriageway on the M6 this morning, madness!

 

Also grumpy because they've started coning it off in anger now ready to upgrade* to smart* motorways.  This has reduced the effective length of the sliproad I join on from about 3/4 of a mile to 4 car lengths.  So this morning it was far less convenient for the lorry driver to slow down by 1mph and let me in than it was for me to practically execute an emergency stop and pull out behind him.  To be fair, the mistake I made was waiting to be offered, I could have fairly easily pulled out infront and out-accelerated him but didn't because I foolishly thought for a moment that one of these ignorant rabble cunts would actually exercise some courtesy.

Aikido. Also looked at Taekwondo and Ninjutsu but I can't really professionally justify punching/ striking someone. Probably less effective for playground punch-ups.

What, like Alfreton?

[dollywobbler]

Jiu-jitsu is a lovely martial art. Less about blocking, more about getting out of the way, and then using your opponents momentum to undo them. 

 

Mind you, got a bit mad at the club I was part of as a teenager. The adult sparring was vicious and included defence from chains, pickaxe handles and samurai swords.

[Eddie Honda]

Well, if you have one then great.

But if not then it's a big expense to buy that instead of just alternating collections and using one truck. And then if you collect both recycling and rubbish in the same week in your fancy truck, it sits idle the next week because you still.only need a fortnightly collection.

Of course it doesn't sit idle, it just goes and does a fortnightly collection on a different area/route.

[Guest Hooli]

Haha stolen that joke for FB as I've friend that exists there.

Aikido grew out of a style of jiu-jitsu, so shares a lot of the movement and forms. I would say less offensive.

We do disarming and striking work with knives/ machetes/ swords/ guns, but not often and using replicas. My sensei used to use live blades as an incentive to not fuck up.

Re. roadside rubbish; I recall watching them clearing away drink bottles filled with urine from the M5 verges on a reality TV show about Highways Agency patrols. I thought this was uncommon but later found a full bottle in the front hedge of my brother's garden on a busy B road just off the M40. Could have been flat Lucozade I suppose but I wasn't game to try it.

 

The mechanics of this in a moving vehicle without spillage would be tricky for the passenger, let alone a driver. 

[Captain Furious]

I believe it was, or is, called the New York taxi driver trick. My dad admitted to engaging in it one day when snow caused a 7 hour delay on the motorway getting home from work. Sadly he isn’t around any more to ask about the mechanics of it, but I have often wondered.

 

Although, in a 7 hour queue, I think I would just get out and piss in the hedge.
