The grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

Looks like the house sale has fallen through for reasons beyond our control (that I do not wish to go into, I just want to vent a bit of frustration).

 

Getting SERIOUSLY fucked off with this now.

 

The chance of finding another property within budget in the right area that's suitable for our needs that allows us to move in before Christmas are now so slim we're planning what time of year in 2019 is going to be best.

Feel your pain. Fuck houses.

Can we add fuck estate agents to the list of grumps, tired of absolute lies and general shit from them, trying to pressure us into taking 50k less than we had sold for last time because "the market has changed, prices will fall 30% after Brexit, mortgages are hard to get" and other absolute BS, just fuck right off you've had more than your fair share of chances. Got another agent coming out tomorrow.

 

PS Vulg, sorry to hear that, try knocking 50k off your next offer because reasons!!

I'm living in a chaotic building site as the builders are in.

 

Dust, holes in the roof, dust, no hot water for a week, dust, half the house out of bounds, dust, mess, driveway full of skips, building materials and other people's Vans, massive expense, oh and dust. And it is only week 2 of 14.

 

Still better than selling/buying/moving house.

I always warn people there will be more dust than they would believe possible even if we seal the section of the house off, they still think we are joking.

Someone on here kindly put a link to a Renner 5 for sale on Facebook, I messaged the guy and nothing back, not even a ‘soz, sold mate’. Crap, fancied another 5.

PEEPs ........ what happened to the old days of fire alarms , and everyone just legged it out of the door dragging anyone else with them to the assembly point ...

 

now we have an assessment , a plan , a cd to listen to , a buddy system , high contrast this and that , flashing lights , Braille sheet , nominated staff .......

 

 

and some silly bugger with 5 mins to spare to try and sort it all out !!!!!

And then there was the escapade when we moved into another building.

 

I was given the job of updating the fire plans. Location of extinguishers, alarm buttons, staff levels etc,etc. One thing I discovered was that absolutely nobody could remember when the last evacuation test was. Now this was a 24/7 medical building so evacuation tests had to be carefully planned. Talking with the fire people and 12 to 12.30 was the best time as the management/office staff had lunch. A plan was hatched, known only to me and the big boss and the fire people. Fire engine turns up, parks out of sight, fire man enters building via emergency exit that had been left slightly open. Press alarm, they and me then see what happens.

 

 

FFS.

 

Fire engine rocks up to main (ambulance) entrance. Fire man gets out and walks into entrance. Receptionist / one of the nurses asks what's wrong. "Nothing, come to see busmansholiday about this unannounced fire drill at 12.15,".

 

And fucking don't start me about the real alarm at a hotel in monkey hanging land.....

[Fumbler]

Fire alarm devices here were put in in the early 80s. The most state of the art around. They're basically a 90s alarm box without the cover and the horn pointing straight at you. They're so loud they're needing to be replaced as they violate safe hearing levels at a 1 meter distance. Now they're being replaced with detector with base alarms and they're the quietest things in the land. So from one spectrum to the other.

 

Secondly, staff aren't using the proper exit anymore as they were personally told off by whoever because they used an exit and broke the glass rod that holds the door shut (at least that was before I came along and there were new facilities staff). Fortunately we don't have CDs, Braille pads or anything... yet.

My bin wash is £1.50 every 2 weeks, fuckers stank in summer and were full of maggots so worth every penny

I felt sorry for the guys who were collecting mine over summer so washed the bin every time it was collected so it smelt decent, im nice like that

Not your fault mate, always great to see good possible cars to get into the AS fold, I am probably being a bit harsh but was excited at the prospect of a new 5.

I'm a fire warden in my office. Not had any actual training, someone left and I was asked and I said OK.

 

One day after a drill, I was wandering around checking all the exits and found one locked. (thumb turn thing). Unlocked it, poked my head around, meh, walked away.

 

Next thing I know the Pa to the md who is a miserable old bat at the best of times shrieks across the office demanding why I left it unlocked. Er, it's a fire exit Angie, I didn't think they should be locked...

 

She demanded I locked it again, I refused (being there 10 years means I take little shit). The head fire dude mooches over and talks to her, then comes over to me and (with the voice of a beaten man) that people have been using the fire escapes to move between the floors, so with the OK from facilities it stays locked, being only a thumb turn its easy to open.

 

Fine by me, reasonable excuse, but I'll sure as hell not assume it's OK before someone confirms!

 

I get a pretty orange hi viz to hang over my chair too

Our fire warden is the same idiot who keeps getting bollocked for blocking the fire exit with stacks of cardboard...

I saw a cracking one earlier - posting a list of surnames from your family including mother’s maiden name and others. Social engineering at its finest.

[Fumbler]

An old fire exit of ours was a sash window going onto the portico roof. How they'd get down is something else entirely.

I thought NCIX was folded up and done with. They had an asset auction in the last months.

Out of character for a company which did computer shite.

Locking fire exits is the sort of stupidity that gets companies fined ££££.

Ive just seen that Give Peas A Chance has been removed from the M25 bridge. It’s been there probably since it opened thirty years ago. Certainly since I started driving round it occasionally from 1995.
