The grumpy thread

[Datsuncog]

Getting bollocked by Pistonheads mods for a joke about supercars. FFS.

Someone should send Cavcraft over to them for a bit, and see how they like them apples... I sometimes forget how uptight other forums can be, too.

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

That's it... That's the last straw... Herpes leaving a seriously costly object on display from the street outside my front door. Not even tried to obscure it. What if that got nicked?

 

Grrrrr and other angry sounding noises...

According to 2 people who think this is acceptable. (And honesty is everything to me)

They take the package into the house as nd then phone up asking where the package is..

Well it must have been stolen right

3 days later they get another delivery.

Now they have 2 of what ever they Ordered.

Apparently this is fine. Because otherwise how will the courier firm every improve, unless it's costing them

 

It's not fine. It's theft.

[MorrisItalSLX]

I lost a mud flap on the Jaaaaaaag. It's my own bloody fault too for backing into a kerb like a dunce.

 

I hope I can get one second hand so I don't have to fork out loads for a brand new pair.

Hmm, cable ties.

 

You have given me an idea.

 

I feel a bodge coming on.

 

Good as new.

At Brussels airport on the way back from the Carrib-Ian. Air travel is quite disgusting and passport control at Charleroi is like a scene from Schindler’s list. Why does everyone put up with this? It’s simply appalling. Having to walk through a stinking cesspit of duty free perfume to get to Gates B is not acceptable. Next time I’m going on the Eurostar in the hope that it’s less taxing, tiring, depressing and plain fucking miserable than the travails required to get on a cunting plane to go anywhere.

[Guest Hooli]

I've used airports three times in my life & that is trice too many for a lifetime. Awful cunting places full of cunts.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Ha! How prophetic - the manufacturers of the conveyer of your doom. Passport cuntrol 430 people deep and NOWHERE to have a cigarette. Fuck this. I wish I was still in some backward Carribbean island.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Look at this stinking shithole at Brussels Shiteport. 10 Chinese and some other civilised sorts forced into a gas chamber to enjoy tobaccos. Cunts. In the DR you can smoke ANYWHERE. Because civilised.

[Guest Hooli]

Brussels != civilised

Smoking != civilised

 

Therefore smokers = gas chamber

 

 

Approved.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Decision time.

 

I like my job (mostly - see yesterday's grump) but I earn sweet FA.  I work with two lovely women that are very different to each other but compliment each other perfectly, and I'm the grumpy bloke.  I like it.  There are a lot of reasons not to leave - the pay is the main reason to leave.

 

In a previous job, I was a support worker at a local Mind association - and I was very good at my job.  A lot of what I did amounted to social work and I worked alongside a lot of social work students (and sometimes picked up the pieces from them when they fucked up - which some did spectacularly).  

 

I've been made aware of a scheme for training specialist mental health social workers.  Two years with a guaranteed job, decent pay and a Masters degree at the end of it.  I'm fucking torn and have no idea what to do.  Mental health work can be hard and very bloody stressful.  The sector is really struggling.  Yet I'd probably be good at it.

 

Decisions make me grumpy.

They could swap me for one of their members. Like a sort of cuntural exchange.

I'd do it.

 

Not that job obviously as I'd be shit at it, but on general principles. Money to me is freedom as it gives you the ability to enjoy life more by doing what you want.

[loserone]

Certainly worth looking into. Is the guaranteed job like being a maths teacher though, guaranteed because so many people are leaving because it's shit?

I used to travel a lot on business and wholeheartedly agree.

 

The small airports can be a lot better though - I fly from Norwich now where the long term car park is about 3 minutes walk from the terminal and the security etc. is done by human beings. The downside is far less destinations than, say, Stansted, but that's a small price to pay to be treated like a person not a lab rat.

[oldcars]

Funny that isnt it? I had my car broken into and they took all my CDs apart from an Erasure album, their critique of my musical taste still smarts a bit

Bastards, they should show you a little respect.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

The same bastards broke into my old Renault once, a blue Savannah.

At the moment they're after computer science teachers.  £26,000 to train!

 

It's guaranteed as in guaranteed as a condition of the place on the course.  With that said, it's also probably guaranteed because it's so shit.

 

Hooli, I hear what you're saying and I'm inclined to agree apart from the fact that at the moment I work in education, so get those holidays.  Time to me is very important - ironically given how bad my own mental health can be!

 

As an example, I'm typing this right now because my boss took one look at me just now and said: 'You look knackered, you've got a lot on this week and I need you right tomorrow.  Go and take a break somewhere...'  That's why I like my boss...!

I think we all should get on over there that would shake the Apple cart a bit

[New POD]

East Midlands Airport.

Our contractors used to park a car at the weekend in a side street in castle donnington when they flew home for the weekend. Apparently cheaper to get a taxi the 2 miles to the airport than pay for parking.

You do know you have to decide what is right, or at least acceptable, for yourself.  I know as that's why I was sacked, also management were an arse so I pointed this out to them many times.

 

I had a chat with someone earlier this year when collecting an amp from them and was so impressed with their job I've just applied for this

Once got diverted to Ema with Lufthansa.

 

The pilot landed. There was a delay "vhilzt vie negotiate fur stairz"

 

Then we had to wait for coaches

 

Added an hour to our 2 hour detour.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Madchester airport is half decent, ish.

[alcyonecorporation]

No it fucking isn't. They should flatten it and start again. Filthy corridors, miserable staff, three fucking quid to pick someone up? Fuck off. 

[Jazoli]

Its a business, and a luxury, not a necessity, whilst I don't like the £3 charge its just another cost of flying and makes hardy any difference to the cost of a holiday, I spend more in Costa on a coffee when in the terminal, if you are there on business then its claimable through expenses anyway.

[MrDuke]

Stupid 'new' phone making me thank people. Not that AMC Rebel isn't deserving of thanks, but that post meant nothing to me.

[MrDuke]

Stupid user of 'new' phone not realising there's actually an Unthank button. If I click it, my last post makes no sense, and trying to delete the post will make me defenestrate the phone. Awkward.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

 

Good as new.

Can't move in Donington in the summer for abandoned cars.

It's cheaper to catch the bus than to pause long enough to drop anyone off.

They've even got cctv on the petrol station up there and folk what park for a mo without buying petrol are ticketed.

There's nowhere for the taxi's to wait, so they are scattered in field gates and similar for miles and miles.

 

When BMA, Britannia & Dan AIr used to fly from EMA, the fares used to make enough money for everyone. 

It's Ryannair and his round the world for 80 bob tickets that have fucked air travel for everyone.

Is it fixed now? Please please, thank you.
