The grumpy thread

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Censorship/ removal of the right to withdraw your labour/ an end to free speech?

 

Blame the Russians, they seem popular scapegoats at the moment.

 

Poisonous thoughts?

 

Roadworks - flat tyres...... no end in sight.

The useless sodding morons who ripped our street to shreds and didn't get it finished before the 'cold' set in (3mths now FFS). The place is a sodding disaster zone with raised manhole covers and jagged edges all over the bloody shop.

They aren't coming back to finish until it warms up apparently.

 

The feckin' eejits from British Gas who thought it would be funny to dig up a stretch of road that had been properly resurfaced less than six months previously.

France and Germany: similar population, massively bigger land mass so less crowded, a government that sort of knows what it's doing, houses viewed as a home and not an investment and thus cheaper and an overwhelming desire to support their own industries.

 

I lived in Germany once, I'd like to do it again............if only the pound was worth more than a cup of cold piss. 

 

 

I'd live in Germany, it's a great place with decent people. I do know great places in france, they all coincide with places that contain no french people.

I’d honestly rather you waved your dick in my face than your politics.

 

Perhaps anyone who gets political on here should be forced to add an unflattering photograph of their own genitalia to the post? It might focus the mind.

Some might actually do that!

[SierraMikeHotel]

There could perhaps be a politics thread, with it banned elsewhere, but I find the idea that one shouldn't discuss it in company entirely bizarre.

 

If we don't debate these issues nothing will ever change and the country will continue on its current disastrous course.

 

You can only effect change for the better if you engage with the process.

I get laughed at quite enough thanks..........

Agree we should have debate and voice opinions, but the last time we tried that it did turn a bit nasty.

Indeed, there's no excuse for that. Attack the policies, not the people, and agree that everyone will have different opinions.

That's inspired. Politics just can't done rationally, you might as well query someones driving, ego kicks in yo as it turns into an argument of I'm right rather than what's right.

Politics is bullshit, the more heated you get the more you're being played by the man, get carried away enough and you won't even notice while he's fucking you right in the arse. I've watched everything turn to shit my whole life, always heading in the same direction regardless of whichever shower of corrupt self serving scumcunts happen to be running the show, it's somewhat deluded to think that's ever going to change.

There is a huge difference between voting, political activism and general engagement - and everyone “blammin dem toreyz tekkin away us giros” on a Car forum (or anywhere else in polite company).

 

I have never not voted. But, I’ve also never felt the need to tell people for who or how I voted.

 

It is entirely possible.

There have been some interesting political debate threads that always end up in personal attacks. Therefore it is easiest that we just talk about cars on here.

 

There are many other places to engage in political discourse, but not any others where you can win a Kia in Torquay for £7 - if we stick to cars not politics we all get on (ish)

Fair dos, noted and logged!

 

I was intending to talk about talking about politics (if you see what I mean) without saying anything partisan, but I've just realised that I did.  Sorry for that.

[The Moog]

Its a fair point and the Scottish independence thread we had was really interesting, I learnt a lot. 

[xtriple]

You should never discuss politics or religion in polite (?) company.

 

But, if you just remember that all politicians are out for themselves first and foremost  then you can't go far wrong!

I’m pretty sure there will be countless political discussions on the web. None of them are really needed on here.

I am taking my other half away for the weekend as it is her birthday. I had found a nice hotel (bit pricey at £120 a night but she is worth it) booked it and luckily had free cancellation as although they list it having free parking one of the reviews mentioned getting a parking ticket. After trying to phone them (it rang once and then cut off) I emailed asking about the parking. It seems that the local pay and display 5 mins walk away is their idea of parking. Or I can try and find a space on the road outside (a sea front hotel so some chance of that) I don't mind leaving my 806 sat on the street overnight but not the Porsche even if it is just an old Boxster. Now to find somewhere else that actually has the parking that they advertise.

[Cavcraft]

Hey, talking of that (and a proper grump) I’m not only taking my missus out, but taking her to watch a play (or musical, whatever these things are) about some bint I cannot abide.

Amazed you even got a text.

I used to pass through Gosport regularly on my way to visit detainees at Haslar. I see why it's relatively cheap.

Gosport is OK, and transport links are good with the ferry across to Portsmouth Harbour Station

Anyway, not being drawn in.

You have to watch for this on AirBnB. Lots of places that claim to have parking, yet mysteriously it's roadside when you get there. SOD OFF.

Good job I did, it was 75 minutes each way.

Sounds like either you've been gazumped, or the seller got cold feet about the price agreed with you.

[SierraMikeHotel]

A small number of days after posting about how much I'd like a Passat B2, preferably an estate, and lamenting the fact that there don't seem to be any left I discover that there was one - and some arsehole advertising exec reversed it into a lamp-post for a cheap laugh.  I'm not telling you what product this was advertising because they don't deserve our money.

Was price he asked £100.

I wanted to be there 11am today, he couldn't meet until afternoon, which I couldn't do.

So mutually arranged 11-30 tomorrow.

Gazumped I think, happens all the time, but never when I'm selling.
