The grumpy thread

[DodgeRover]

HOW LONG DOES A FUCKING CAT NEED TO FUCKING GROOM ITSELF THE FUCKING FURRY LITTLE CUNT!

 

Trying to converse with the wife, and type messages on here. The cat has spent the entirety of the hour-long Emmerdale the wife recorded licking its fucking arse while making a disgusting noise while doing so.

Did you admonish it? Kick it out the room? Soak it with a water pistol every time it tried? If not then of cause the cat thinks it's ok - hell it probably thought you were enjoying it rather than the TV...

Fitted new rear wiper yesterday, tightened nut and look:

 

 

Dear god, why is everything you buy so shit these days.

 

And yes, I managed to snap of the washer jet in the process of removing the old wiper arm stub - that'll be a new washer motor then FFS.

 

Dave of many french numbers - I feel your pain but how I laughed.

[Supernaut]

Who needs a rear wiper anyway?

 

The people behind you are losing, no need to see them.

 

 

 

 

Apologies for any concern arising from my outburst yesterday. It's nothing specific, I'm just at a complete loss at how stupid the world seems to be right now.

 

Basically:

 

[Cavcraft]

(03.07) Have you still got bike mate?

 

(05.35) Yes, still got it.

 

(06.21) It’s ok I’ve got one now.

[wuvvum]

What do you expect, you didn't reply within 17 seconds, which seems to be the standard expectation on Gumtree these days.  At least he didn't send you another message at 3:09 saying "?????????".

no apology needed - I felt a great deal of common cause - and I resigned from my job yesterday as I cannae take na more.

 

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Daffodils are purple

Lilacs are invisible

Tulips can talk

Facts aren't important apparently

Cows can weld

Tacuma went away on Tuesday for MoT, having run out on Saturday.  It failed, on brake pipes, a couple of tyres and some other minors.  I've been phoning the garage, authorising the jobs.  Still no tyres; brake pipes done; airbag light dodgy (which tbf I knew because it's been like that all the time I've had it).  Not going to have it back now until Monday.

Fridge and cupboards increasingly empty.  Neither of us is up to much walking.  Marvellous.

Mrs Shrimp just told me her mates son has put his car for sale on gumtree and getting nothing but dickheads. Really I would never have guessed.

 

As they've pissed him off he decided to try we buy any car. It's a fucking 1986 mk2 Golf CL they'll offer about 10p as it is he only wants £1800.

 

I asked has he not tried anywhere else? No it's stressing him out...

[dozeydustman]

To be fair, an hour of Emmerdale would likely bore the best of us into truffling out the ringpiece.

 

 

There are some pretty girlies in it (especially the MILF that is Moira), the Mrs watches it seriously (but that's what women do).

 

A cat grooming itself constantly for an hour is really excessive. Just been flea & worm treated. TBH all it does is miaow for food, sleep or lick its arse all day. Won't go out, won't play with toys.

 

Just got in from work and the little fucker has puked everywhere. Stepdaughter been in all day, unaware of pile of puke as teenage disinterest in anything that isn't on the interweb, because it doesn't exist.

 

And to top the festering dog turd of a day with a rotten cherry, council tax final demand in the post. We've not even been sent the bill to set the direct debit up yet.

 

I'm in a real mood now.

We very well might do yet.

Get him to sign up here.

Details?

 

Scrap that, saw the £1800 bit!

 

Not a dark blue one is it?

[Supernaut]

Precisely what I was going to suggest.

 

Much less chance of it getting pineappled if sold on here rather than one the gumtree dickheads.

Temp contract jobs. Finally got myself out of a shit ton of debt and actually seeing a little savings build up. On the search for a perm job before my contract runs out and the agency I’m with have informed the contract could be cut short by a few months. Absolute buggery... expected to get a good 5 months work and not have to worry about paying bills or getting into more debt. Hopefully they get their arse into gear and sort it out...

there's no chance of him singing up here.

...because it's such a hardship!

 

Let him crack on with it by himself, then.

Is your workplace actually slowing down?

Maybe worth having a word with HR or the relevant dept

It shouldn’t be they have just finished a big recruitment drive and it’s not as if it is a small company I work. To be fair I think they have over recruited but there is a high staff turnover with about 35% if staff on temp contracts.

Excessive to the point there's probably something wrong to be honest. We've just been through the same with our cat - overgrooming to the point he'd swallowed loads of hair then sicking it back up (over me, or the new carpet). Could be an allergy of some kind, there's various things you can try but switching to a hypoallergenic food worked for us, Arthur is now being sick once a week rather than every day.

TBH I think it's senility. It's been going on for at least 6 months now and the last vet appointment in April said she's in fine health and very alert.

 

I just hate cats anyway.

That's a bit crap, can you not do a Tesco home delivery? I'd offer to do a shop run but I'm nowhere near BiF this weekend

 

Edit, didn't see posts saying the same.

[Cavcraft]

Don't really know what you're moaning about, TBH. I phoned the RSPCA and told them that there was a pole cat clinging onto my ceiling fan and asked if could they come and collect it.  They said they didn't believe me, but in the end they took my whirred ferret. 

[cort16]

I know what you mean I had a job at the local sewage works but I jacked it in as I was sick of going through the motions .

Sounds like my work, loads of temp staff being taken on constantly but hardly any stick around because they get 14 hours of work a week if they're lucky and there is no progression in the role. So they hire more new staff and the problem endlessly circulates.

Im glad I’m guaranteed at least 37.5 hours a weeks in this role. So it could be a lot worse. Emailed the temp agency about the contract and they have said it is week by week at the moment. Annoying as I was told it was a guaranteed 5 month FTC.

Could be stress rather than a physical issue. There are dietary supplements like Zyklene or a Feliway plug in diffuser might help.

[DodgeRover]

Really pissed off now, tried to help out the guy who hit my van by sourcing repair parts myself to keep the costs down, bloody rear light has come all the way from Poland and it's wrong...

We’ve been using the feliway as they did fight, it has calmed both of them down from that at least.

 

It’s more the poxy horrible racket she makes when grooming that gets my goat. I am hypersensitive to the sound of people eating as well, I have to excuse myself from the table if people slup their food.

[beko1987]

Heard a new clanging sound about 60 miles from Peterborough. Gave it a prod at my dad's and the exhaust hangers have snapped again! Stupid things, will lash it up with some wire and look at them 2 weeks before the mot

Feckin' battery is completely flat. That's never happened before. Didn't leave any lights on after getting back from FotU. Wonder if there's a discharge somewhere....
