The grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

Christ Dave, I think ya brain has fallen out!

[Tadhg Tiogar]

Hey guys, wanna see something fucking horrific? 

 

I will mask it because there are some sensitive types on here...

Driving along and this six inch blood-slug came out my nostril. it was the consistency of very overcooked pasta with a slimy coating of blood on the outside. Fucking weirdest sensation...it felt like it was attached directly to the back of my eyeball.

 

 

So...uh....is this good or bad?

 

Wow 

 

Just....wow.

[MorrisItalSLX]

That looks similar to what used to fall out of my noes after I removed the tissue bung inserted during a nosebleed, but they were never that large!

 

Have you had a recent nosebleed?

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Keep us posted Dave - said it earlier - get it checked right now fella. 

I haven't been to a doctor for almost 20yrs but I'd be kicking his fucking door in if that happened........ 

Any A n E shown that would get you seen immediately.

 

 

good luck fella.

 

 

Zel - wish I could afford it dude - so I could crawl all over the camper while there and try and wrestle the spare Sinclair out of your hands as part of the deal..... but I'm absolutely brassic at the moment. Sorry....... (Actually NOT a platitude - really am gutted as it would go with the 73 saloon I have really well)

 

 

EDIT - for grump (minor in view of the above display*)

 

I started a new role Monday - all going well...... a lot of gap analysis necessary and re-writing a few bunisess use cases and other functions not defined properly etc.... boring sh*t. Pop up - the tool is an evaluation version - I get a 45minute warning. I don't even have the official internal email set up yet and am about to be blocked doing my job. Messaged the PM - "don't worry - it's the weekend, just sack it off and I'll chase it" 

Seeing as it's taken over a week to set up an email - I don't see purchasing a company wide software license as being done ad hoc...... bugger!

Why, after a month of solid sunshine and blue skies, has it decided to start bollocking it down like mad on the day I have to use the horror that is public transport and even possibly do some walking to go pick up a new car?

 

And the washing was on the line overnight and is soaked - it was bedsheets and the clothes horse is in my offfice so now I’m surrounded like I’ve tried to make the worlds biggest den.

 

Let's have some pics when you've got it!

[Pillock]

Holy shit that's not normal fella. Go docs,a and e or whatever the French equivalent is.

All this talk about pay and jobs. I found out how much the Shop floor get paid, where i am currently contracting.

Okay so it's aerospace and you need to be a time served apprentice.

Okay so it's shifts so allot of it is shift allowance and nights.

But with a little overtime that comes in at 48 to 55 k a year. For assembling gearboxes that go on plane's wings.

Makes a mockery of becoming a Chartered Engineer. I think if i went permanent id be offered 40k no overtime paid.

Might be why they are training People in poland though?

[bub2006]

Right,just shown the wife the pics of Dave's nose slug. Wife said it's a polyp and you need hospital to get cauterised

[Zelandeth]

To be honest I'm not (well, wasn't) even in a particular rush to sell the Lada.  I know it's very much not cheap and that it's very much a case of waiting for the right buyer to turn up.  Heck, if someone really wants it but doesn't think they're able to afford it for a month or three I'm more than happy to stick it under a cover until then.

 

Just cannot stand dealing with bloody time wasters.  If you just want a look around the car, fine!  Just ask...I'll say yes unless I'm actually busy doing something.  Dealing with requests like that is part and parcel of owning something oddball.  Don't lead me on for half an hour pretending you're considering buying it though.  That's just going to piss me off.

[dozeydustman]

You don't smell it so much when you're in the cab up front, providing it's a half-decent wagon.  I only did a very short stint on the wagons before I tore all the ligaments in my knee, and I very much wanted to go back, but honestly I'm just not fit enough and the homophobia from some of the guys was a bit of a nuisance.

 

 

You get that in all lines of work, which in this day & age I think is quite sad as well as unacceptable. Peel the skin off & every woman is identical underneath, as is every man.

 

I judge on whether the person in question is a 24/7 tosser or not.

[Parky]

I wish I had your balls, Parky.

 

Interview went ok.  I talked a lot about management processes and having clear procedures to avoid any technical mishaps.  I acknowledged that I might not be the most experienced for the role but tried to turn it around talking about learning quickly in my current role for the parts I was less familiar with.  They said they'll call back early next week as they're interviewing all day.

 

I suspect I won't get it - which is fine - and they'll be people that are more familiar with some parts of the job that are likely to get the job.  That's fine.  I can't complain.  It is what it is and I gave the best account of myself that I could.  No regrets.

Absolutely, no regrets. Every interview you do makes your next one better until you are so absolutely employable, nobody can say no!

 

I have had loads, often because the recruiter had sold me a pup or I have known I have no chance and gone for it anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained

[dave21478]

A doctors? In France? On a sunny Friday afternoon? not fucking likely, they are all motoring to the coast for a weekend on their yachts.

 

I trundled down to a proper pharmacy....the pharmacist profession is a respected medical type here, especially in places like here in bumfuck nowhere, miles from civilisation, who can deal with minor-ish medical stuff and advise well if serious stuff is needed, at least.

 

"oooh, thats a big one". I hadent even taken my trousers off at this point, but realised he was talking about the photo of my bloody snotbaby. Almost certainly just a gooey clot from a slow noose-bleed that had been back-filling a cavity in the hollow, rattling void I call a head. Nothing to really worry about, better out than in etc etc...apparently.

If more nose bleeds occur or more eldritch blood monsters crawl out of my skull I will need a hospital to seal the leak so just keep calm and carry on....

 

 

 

.... I would keep whatever the fuck that thing is wrapped up in some tissue so you can show em exactly what your nostrils gave birth to...

 

I flicked it out the car window....I like to imagine it growing.... hunting...learning....

[mrbenn]

Just keep an eye on the situation, Dave. If you sneeze out a testicle later on then I'd reassess.

[Supernaut]

I feel bad for laughing, but dave's writing style is hilarious. Even in this situation.

[beko1987]

Fuck me if have caused a horrific car crash if that fell out of my nose whilst going up the road!

 

Should have it stuffed and mounted and posted it to supernaut

[Pillock]

Love the fact that on Autoshite, where even mashing your head against a keyboard gets half a dozen "likes", not one person has been unhorrified enough to click the button on DaveDigits "nose slug".

[SierraMikeHotel]

Sorry Dave numbers, even when something horrific has happened your posts make me actual lol!

[beko1987]

Right,just shown the wife the pics of Dave's nose slug. Wife said it's a polyp and you need hospital to get cauterised

Amy said similar 'oh a blood slug".

 

I never want to work in an industry where that sort of thing is just one of those normal things that happens!

[dozeydustman]

was that 10 minutes of rain and a few claps of thunder all Mother Nature has to give?

 

I has the disappoints.

 

Stepdaughter hasn't done the washing up either and I need to get dinner going. She's used every conceivable pot or pan just to make some kind of pasta for her lunch.

[Louise2cv]

Hmm, bit late to this but as a lifelong sufferer of nose bleeds thats a pretty normal blood clot IMO. 

 

Shocker if you aren't used to it but pretty normal looking to me.

It utterly monsooned it down on the m40 on my way home. Nothing at home yet though, very dull though outside. It's supposed to hit here hard on Sunday which is the exact day I've for a free afternoon to do a tip run and some spannering on the gooner

[nebuchenezer]

34.9 degrees in the shade in Sandwich 30 mins ago, no sign of rain.

 

Dave of many French numbers - get thee sorted now, that is not right

[Louise2cv]

Just be glad it decided to come out that way and not dive down your throat. That's even less pleasant.

[Zelandeth]

It's just finished raining here.

 

Came down half-heartedly for about fifteen minutes...had zip effect on the temperature, but now the humidity has jumped about 50%. 

 

Yay.

I'm hoping for more from the weather. I'd give it a 5 so far - some flashes and rumbles, plus a reminder that I should have closed the Velux in the bathroom, but not really spectacular.

 

As for the state of the kitchen, that reminds me of my ex who basically treated me like a hotel (didn't lift a finger, paid the bare minimum into the household, then slagged me off on Tripadvisor. I mean Facebook).

 

Why is she in my thoughts? Because she has randomly reappeared and started causing trouble - three years after we split up - at a time when I have actual, real problems to deal with.

 

How do you get rid of a difficult ex? And why did they hang around anyway? (We were never married, never owned property together and had no children - I can even put up with the fact that I don't see our dog any more).

I bet that tastes *lovely... *gulp*

About the same in Aylesham, up the road from you. Urgh. Near Dover as we speak and it’s 29.5 according to my car.
