The grumpy thread

[wuvvum]

The thing with "snowflake" is that the meaning that seems to be attributed to it in discussions* such as this is not at all what it actually means.

 

Although it's one of those words which is so hopelessly overused at the moment that it's in danger of losing its original meaning altogether.  Like "racist" and "hate".

[wuvvum]

Have you got a carpet stretcher/ knee kicker thing to get the creases pulled out? You can diy one with the left over grip edge and some lumps of timber .

In my experience pulling creases out of carpet isn't that difficult - it's keeping the bastards from coming back which is the issue.

[beko1987]

Epoxy the whole carpet down, no creases then!

 "racist"

 

 

The word is now worthless and has no currency. It's normally wheeled out by the hard of thinking when they've lost an argument. 

 

'Snowflake' is similarly overused. I'm not sure if I've used it or not. As I see it, it's used describe those who get sand in their fanny over shit that really doesn't matter. 

 

'Snakes with tits'. Well whatever.

 

'I hate Pakis'. Yeah, we have a real problem with that.

The whole carpet issue is the frigging thing is the wrong shape and dimensions so too narrow in places and huge in others so its like a frigging patchwork quilt.

Part worn carpet rarely ends well. I'm having new stuff put in my room next month, the old stuff is going in the workshop in roll up 5x10 strips so I can lie under a car and shout at it in comfort.

Seeing as the thread title has changed I thought this was apt***

 

 

A rant of the highest order....If you have not seen his other work look it up.

 

 

*** Yes, this is my 1st ever post in here! and No, I have no idea why the thread title has changed from grumpy old men....

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

He's quite excellent - his rants during the last GE were superb. 

[wuvvum]

Fucking brilliant.

Your not supposed to make us laugh in this thread....

[djoptix]

Well, as the Esperantinos would say - "Bonvulo alsendi la pordiston, lausjane estas rano in mia bideo", and I think we all know what that means.

Can you please send for the hall porter, there appears to be a frog in my bidet.

Your father was a baboon's rump, and your mother spent most of her time up against walls with sailors.

Awww thanks! I'll have to step my game up!

"Certainly.  Please be sure to remove the cylinder head from the dishwasher."

[captain_70s]

Filled up the Acclaim tonight, averaged just 36.8mpg over the last tank. That's 3mpg less than usual and only 1mpg better than the Doloshite.

 

Bah!

[chaseracer]

Good to see Sav on form.

Bah!

Nearly as economical as a 200PS Rolf GTI, such is progresss!

[5speedracer]

Except you are. You're just not allowed to whale the shit out of them with a belt any more.

Parents from Dumfries have to drive their kids to Carlisle to give them a smack as it is illegal in our enlightened country.

Of course this implies the rest of you are nuckle dragging barbarians with the empathy of a Tunis Islam follower.

No offence like!

The same 200PS VAG engine in my TT does the same MPG but also gets through the same quantity of oil as his Dolomite. About just under a litre every 1000 miles or so.

 

Normal usage I'm told. Normal...

Makes it a more peaceful trip for the driver too.

Thank goodness. Top work whoever changed the thread title - perfecto.

 

Now, let's all have a cup of tea.

[dollywobbler]

Sodding DART charge. I was a few hours late making a payment, and now they want £107. Arseholes. If they want it, they'd better be ready for a fight. I think I shall stick to my preferred technique of avoiding the sodding thing altogether.

But what if the thread self identifies as a happy thread?

When I rang them about a similar-sounding set of circumstances, I was pleasantly surprised at how much discretion the call handler had. It's worth apologising, claiming a first offence etc. and see what happens.

/\ This.  They're actually quite reasonable compared to, say, DVLA.
