The grumpy thread

[Bianconeri]

Still can’t drive, not enough flexibility in right knee even after 5 months. Can walk 5-6 miles easily and do so most days, weekly physio, do all of the exercises and more. Medical folks not worried at all - this is a ‘good recovery for someone of your age’.

I'm third in line of cars chugging down a back lane in my Astra convertible. There's nowhere to go, nowhere to overtake, we're all keeping a decent distance and there's a bend approaching. Some wankshaft in an MX5 is all over the road behind me, trying to overtake. You know those dickheads that are behind you, then on your right a bit, back in, back out? Well he's fucked, he couldn't possibly overtake one of us, let alone all three.

Just before the oncoming corner, there's a left turn that leads to a dead end and some houses. Looked in my mirror and he turned in there.

 

I shall write a note out and leave it under his wipers.

Wife had mammogram.

wife had letter.

Wife eventually went for more tests

wife had 4 biopsies and they left a metal marker inside her.

Wife is waiting for results. it is a long wait.

New POD is like a rabbit in the head lights. Doing and saying the wrong things.

Somehow we had row.

I feel like shit

But i have made her feel totally alone.

i have paid 12 quid into a roffle for a jag. without telling her

ice on cake ???

 

If you're short of the 12 yen, I'll bung you.  Just let me know.

 

Rooting for you man.

Wankshaft. That’s a new one on me.

[SierraMikeHotel]

Her family.

 

I can't even be arsed to elaborate.

Heh. In my marriage, it's my family that cause the problems - hers are lovely. I sincerely hope my wife has a space like this one where she can vent about them...

[Wack]

Had the squits a couple of weeks ago followed by abdominal pain. Now I have pain in my back and behind my sternum - swallowing is painful. I am hardly eating anything. Seeing a GP tomorrow - for the first time in my life I am fearful of seeing a doctor.

 

 

I'd be fearful if he hands you a packet of movieprep

 

Hope it goes well for you

I'm frustrated for her I really am. Her family are useless so she ends up having to pick up the pieces of whatever mess they've got themselves into.

 

She has her own life with me and the kids, a high enough pressure career etc but they still manage to make their issues her problem, no matter how hard she tries to keep them at arms length.

You're scared for her, she's plain scared, neither want to admit it because it makes it real, the contained stress comes out as snappiness?

 

This.

 

Go hug, PODman, and don't let her go.

[Exiled_Tat_Gatherer]

Bianconeri - Feel your pain fella - I'm kind of, almost, probably, well we'll see type of signed off as 'fixed'. The fact I keep having the knee totally go on me at random intervals is neither here nor there apparently. I can slog my nuts off in the garden or garage and heft shit about - but then walk down to the shop and it bloody folds in on me..... 

 

Good luck with the exercises.... hurts like hell but I lost a lot of flexibility by skimping on 'em. Best of luck...... 

 

POD - get those arms doing something useful..... she'll appreciate it more than we appreciate a Dacia road trip across several countries with unending plod interaction..... I'd bet on it

Hope all goes ok.

 

May I suggest that, in the event you win the roffle, you tell her the Jag is a present for her? That'll get you right out of the messy stuff.

 

Seriously though, give her a hug. She must be terrified.

[Captain Furious]

At my pre-booked tyre appointment...car has been on the ramp 1.5 hours and is still on all the same tyres it came in with...what’s the acceptable wait time before losing ones shit (in my head of course, I wouldn’t have an actual kick off)

 

To be fair it seems to be pretty chaotic with people turning up early/late/on the wrong day for appointments and they’re trying to keep everyone happy (keep their business), but since I was bang on time I reckon that merits priority.

[mrbenn]

Sadly, sitting quietly will likely get you nowhere. I was in a similar position and ended up being there for 6 hours. I kid you not.

 

Nowadays, I find a friendly sort of “just wondering how you were doing time wise as I’ll have to get off in a bit” normally greases the wheels.

Yo Pod! if you win the raffle, just offer your winning ‘ticket’ to the first person to send you £75 – they get a cool motor for £75, you get enough money to take your Mrs out for tea somewhere nice – everyone wins.

12 punts is not a problem. Winning might be.

Tis a great idea. Or I could take her to Skye again via train trip to pick out up.

You tell me what i knew before. Somehow it helps though. Thanks

I loathe friends.  I loathe phone speakers.  It's a perfect pile-on of shit.

This is also Mrs H's least appealing habit - except it's the Archers.

[bub2006]

Fuck it. Been pissing blood again past 3 days. Maybe I should check out.

[mrbenn]

I hope you mean check it out.

 

And yes, you should

[bub2006]

I'm honestly not sure now you mention it. Feeling shite and low moods too ain't helping but yes I guess I should. Happened before and said was an infection but starting again for 3 days.

[loserone]

We've had enough of shiters checking out, Bub. Go get looked at.

[mrbenn]

If you do have some sort of infection then I can't imagine that will help your general mood.

 

Get an appointment mate, it needs looking at. Passing blood is what I'm sure some would refer to as "suboptimal".

[Guest Hooli]

Get it checked Bub, because you're worth it.

[bub2006]

My problem is I hate docs and hospitals. Yes It may sound daft but after shit I've gone through and losing me mam young put fear of god in me.

Mrs P was the same with Love Island, thank goodness that’s finished.

 

Last nights question - “which of those girls do you most fancy and in what order?”

 

Admiral Akbar popped into my head.....

 

Nope, nope, no way am I wandering into that one. You might as well leave a trap on the lawn with a big sign over it saying trap, with signs around it saying “this way to the trap”. Apparently that was the wrong answer as thats evidence I fancy all four more than her. Because let’s face it, as soon as a Love Island finalist claps eyes on my boat race I will be dragged off to some luxury Essex lair where I will be kept in Turkish Delight in exchange for non stop filth on demand.

 

It’ll be third time this week if that happens and it’s only Tuesday

Completely understandable. Problem is, if you don't go, you may just be setting yourself up for worse problems down the line. That's what I tell myself and it usually works.

That's just her covering up the fact she's perving over the blokes....

[bramz7]

I just picked up the Alfa, got charged an hour or so labour as the parts don't exist. They've expertly bodged as well as possible to stop the brake lights coming on unless actually needed.

 

The grump is that the short drive back was an absolute blast. I thought my 605 was reasonably pokey but the twin spark engine in this is a fucking monster. Such throttle response.

 

And obviously I sold it. To be honest, it is fucked.
