The grumpy thread

[dave21478]

I've been pondering what to do with my p38. It has a high mileage but the body work is very good and (I think) looks great. It currently owes me about £700 all in, so the choices are -

Punt it back in the auction (easiest option)

Break it for parts (seems a shame plus it's a pain to do with half a p38 left lying around)

Replace engine with a used one for £400 (then play hgf roulette or sell)

Spend £2k on a sorted engine with top hat liners etc and keep it.

 

Spend 2k on the engine, keep it for a few months and work out any other niggles then sell it to me for 1800 quid or so. Its the Autoshite way.

Could you two take your handbags to PM, please?  Nobody else here really gives a shit.

 

Cheers.

Feel free, except you don't know what our generations are so..... And I know and have come across many many millennials, most of them need a good slap.

I'm going to have to agree with our Subaru loving friend and say all this generations* thing is a load of shit.

 

Tarring someone with a brush because of what decade they were born in? Total bollocks.

 

Some people are cunts no matter how old they are and some aren't, the end.

Would you like a Valium?

 

Nah, not much of a 60s Chrysler fan.

 

Thanks, though.

Who has that white X5 with the plate CIINNN? Joining the two II's with a black screw cover to make a U... Judging by your standard of driving tonight mate, that plate describes you to a T!

Bollocks to that, Radio 1 is playing some ace music these days.

Arse.

 

Other half picked up a prescription for me a few months back, just after my pre-payment certificate expired. He didn't realise it had and ticked the relevant box on the form.

 

Just got a bloody £58.60 charge from the NHS. Original prescription plus a £50 fine.

 

So that's a parking fine and NHS "fraud" fine in the same month.

 

...and I'm going to the US at the end of the week. Starting to think that's a really bad idea given my luck this month.

I am a fan of a lot of modern music, I think there's some creative stuff out there amongst the dross. No matter what era of music you prefer, there was always some absolute arse music coming out. Only the good stuff remains, and it'll be the same with this lot.

I agree, but a lot of those millennials do carry on like they fucking rent the place.

The Equalizer; the Equalizer is Edward Woodward in a sharp suit and a splendid wool overcoat rolling about New York in an XJ6 righting wrongs, not Hong Kong Phooey working in Home Depot. They might as well have called the film The Killing of Sister George for all relation it has with the source material.

Ford EcoSport is apparently pronouced echo-sport.

 

 

Get to fuck.

It's a simple and innocent mistake, with no intent to defraud.  Can you appeal?

Yeah - I thought that was odd.  But then they came up with KA ......

Lass at work has just bought a 3-year-old Kuga.  She mentioned that she'd tried an Echo-Sport and thought it was shite.  I did wonder about the pronunciation, but didn't question it - glad I didn't now as I'd've looked a right twat.

Actually that could have been me, circa 1989.

In the taverns ?

[richardthestag]

pretty sure that was fathathestag in about the same era.

 

promised myself I wouldnt be like it.

 

then I turned into a grumpy cunt. while fatha thestag is now into all the "terrible muzak" he complained about so vociferously in the 1980s

 

I am not like it all the time though

 

While Radio 1 is a bit too hipster for me I do like the choons that my lads compete with each other from their phones whiles walking around the house trying to wind each other up.

[richardthestag]

In the taverns ?

 

I used to drink in the Hogsmill Tavern

 

to be honest I think I did a good job of keeping them in business at that time

Bloody entitled generation.

This would be baby boomers, yes?

 

I get grumpy when old people blame young people for everything. There's a lot of it on this forum at the moment.

[chatsharris]

It's alright, we'll be picking and running their retirement home soon enough.

 

Hope you decrepit peckers like wet willies and having lectures about how owning all the houses fucks the housing market.

it is a natural cycle

 

be born, 

be educated

think everyone over 20, 30, 40 etc is a doddery old fart

think the world owes you a favour

crash burning to the ground

enjoy life before marriage

have kids

moan like fuck that kids have no respekt

 

been going on for thousands of years.

 

I was thrashed mercilessly at school by my peers and teachers

My lads are not

People blame todays problems on lack of discipline

my lads have some way to go to catch up with some of the stuff I did 

 

Perceived lack of discipline is bollocks

 

there were mouthy troublemaking gobshites around when I was growing up. and when my dad was growing up and when his dad was growing up etc. right back to when Noah was a lad

moments before I have to rely on anyone wiping my arse I am so fucking out of here.

 

who owns all the houses? I only have one
