The grumpy thread

[Des]

This keeps happening and it's more confusing than annoying. I'll go to sleep in bed with the mrs as usual, but then I'll wake up about 4am on the sofa in the attic with the lights on and no memory of how I got up there

 

Alien abduction, try writing I love probing / big green cock or something across your backside, they'll likely think they're rumbled and move onto someone else.

 

I'm fucked off thanks to this shitting bit of laughing at me Y tho?

 

 

That 'smile' is a rust hole in the pipe from the compressor to condenser on a caravan fridge that's only 2 to 3 years old which cost about 4 times the price of a domestic one, cheap shit made of steel rather than copper and lacking in decent corrosion protection, I was up for getting all sales of goods not fit for purpose innit but can't find the receipt or even remember where I bought the rubbish. Luckily I managed to slobber up the hole without a terrible amount of surrounding melting and charring and had enough odd dregs of R134 to get the bastard working. For now.

 

 

Seems a success, but I'd best remove the fridge regularly for a de-rust of the condenser, it's tempting to follow a coat of Vactan with a zinc coating and that nice thick black Lidl paint but I fear it would impair the cooling. Anyone considering a fridge by Waco, apparently a well regarded brand, need to think again as they're now of a piss poor quality, mine didn't last a tenth as long as the one it replaced, it looks a mess from its short time in a shitty damp camper, I'd like to see how they fare in boats doing salt water and galvanic action noble metal party, probably outlived by the first pint of milk to go in.

Bank account got bumped, someone spent £170 in Aldi. Bank very helpful, cancelled the card and gave me a refund.

 

Somewhere there's some arsehole up to his knees in Aldi Belgium lager.

I know it's a bit late - but I remembered my late uncle's elegant solution to the "have I taken my pills today" issue - he was a cardboard engineer (really) amongst other things -

My mother used to have one of these.

Was excellent.  Someone - usually my brother - would fill it up for her.

This keeps happening and it's more confusing than annoying. I'll go to sleep in bed with the mrs as usual, but then I'll wake up about 4am on the sofa in the attic with the lights on and no memory of how I got up there. This has happened about 8 times now. There's two doors and a flight of creaky stairs to get past, and two dogs that jump about like idiots when I open the bedroom door.

 

Last night I'd even managed to pull all the stinky blankets off the dogs beds over me because I must have been cold, and both dogs were on the sofa with me.

 

I don't really mind much, but it's only a two seater sofa so I always wake up with my back in knots.

 

 

Also the water pump that was supposed to arrive yesterday still hasn't arrived so I can't go away in the Talbot tomorrow night.

 

 

if its any condolance

 

I recently had a couple dreams about saving/finding an invacar....

 

thats totally normal right? everyone has those right guys? *nervous laughter*

[AMC Rebel]

AMC is buggered again.  I think it's the electric fuel pump.  I have raided an SU one of the Chevy but not had time to rig it up yet as the battery is also flat.

[davidfowler2000]

It's a long standing gripe between myself and other reasonably intelligent fellow Scottish bus nutters when you see really shit pictures with or without spectacularly unintelligible captions of buses or trains on various Facebook groups. But this one REALLY takes the fucking biscuit...

Can't have been a neoplan, I never knew one that didn't mark it's spot.

I have dreams about welding sills on my Talbot. They are dreams not nightmares, because the van is on a ramp in a garage rather than over at my mums on her 1:6 driveway.

One of friends used to quite often get up in the morning and find all yesterdays clothes neatly folded up in the Fridge with no recollection of how they got there.

For two nights after reading about the sad passing of Dave21478, every dream I had featured an Autoshiter I rarely interacted with beyond enjoying his posts, never met, and now sadly never will. It fair shat me up so it did.

A couple of times when I’ve had a skinful the wife says I have got up in the night and done something daft, like talking to the wardrobe of just stood with one arm behind the curtain. I have no recollection whatsoever in th morning. It’s only a recent thing though.

when we first moved into our present house I walked into a wall a couple of times when well soaked and also scrabbled around for the handle to the door on the wrong wall, the door was a different wall to the previous house. Luckily I always managed to wake myself up by bouncing off the wall as if I had got out the room and turned the right way to the loo for the old house I would have been down the stairs.

[Alfamale]

I also have an issue when I come back home after staying away, whether drunk or not. I wake in the middle of the night and takes me a while to work out where I am. Never when I’m away, only when I get home.

[SiC]

I don't sleep walk or talk, however my wife does. I often get a right telling off for stuff I haven't done. The other night apparently I painted the ceiling and it was dripping all over the bed.

 

 

(Before any one says ... I'm not that good...)

Bloke I shared a room with at University (see how old I am) used to get up and piss in his wardrobe after we'd been out for a few (too many) beers.  Sadly no longer with us.

As long as it was HIS wardrobe........

[AMC Rebel]

Fucking cats.

 

2 cats, two litter trays.  How the fuck can they manage to piss past the liner, and the litter so they fill up the tray with rancid cat piss and leave the litter dry?

 

Useless bastards.

[Guest Hooli]

But that's what nextdoor's garden is for.

Because cats are twats. They will deliberately go out of their way to upset their 'owner'. If I posted on this thread about our 2 cats being twats the grumpy old man thread would be the anti-cat thread. 

 

Cats are complete and utter wankers.

[AMC Rebel]

It's almost as if they know I don't like them

[robinmasters]

I'm 42, only take 3 pills a day, and have resorted to these. It's not that I forget to take them, just that I'm never sure if the memory I have of taking them was today, yesterday or a week last Tuesday.

[dozeydustman]

PX them in for a nice Labrador or Alsatian.

I would love to - unfortunately they came as a package deal with Ms Rebel.  

She shares my hope that whilst we will not do anything to help, the cats will die soon so we can get a proper pet.

Weimaraners love* cats and can move fast enough to catch them.

I once got up and pissed on the gas heater in my bedroom, kind of came to half way through and stumbled backward and effectively sat into an old Victorian freestanding mirror, big shard of it stuck into my back a couple of inches , I stood up and realised what was sticking out of my back then promptly fainted, fortunately falling onto my front otherwise i'd have skewered myself  

[Guest Hooli]

I bet they didn't believe you at A&E either.

I bet they didn't believe you at A&E either.

I think they reserve the non believing for incidents involving cucumbers and vacuum cleaners

[dean36014]

Just walking round the garden and my legs gave way for no reason. Ended up falling backwards into a rubbish pile and landed on my back in a pile of bricks straight onto where I had my back op 8 weeks ago. Feel really shock up and in pain trying to get the confidence to move from where I'm sitting. And for good measure I've cracked the screen on this phone too. Bloody typical, I'm supposed to be back at work tomorrow

At a party a few years ago, my mate managed to get himself absolutely smashed before 5PM.  I found him passed out on his bed.  He then got up and pissed into a backpack - which belonged to one of his guests.  His fiancée (surprisingly now married) came in and he turned around and pissed on her.

 

I remind him of it every time I see him.

[Remspoor]

Oh my what are you lot on? Date reminder for "pills", nightmares, Crazy dreams and wondering how the fudge you got where you woke up?

Or have I got this all wrong?
