The grumpy thread

[sierraman]

I know, my dads one of these, if they said it needed XYZ replacing he’d have it done, in fact on his last Insignia he had the cam belt done before he part exed it, he didn’t realise he was being had until I pointed out to him there’s no more labour involved in the job whether they fit a new or an old belt. Apparently it’s having the inlet manifold replaced, why they are taking the belt off and the valve gear is anyone’s guess.

No wonder vauxhall are on their knees.

Facebook selling sites. My wife put some old toys up for sale. What a fucking palaver - they are only a few quid each. Next time i'll sort it - it will be the charity shop.

[Tamworthbay]

Bought a replacement phone as mine was near death. Fucking old one refuses to talk to the new one and has now lost all my contacts. Ah, incompatible devices I hear you say, nope, exact same bastard model.

Going through the same process here, it's just not worth it for things worth a few quid.

It doesn't matter too much what the price is, the (market) place is full of penniless bell ends.

 

 

Next on my radar, just a few deep breaths and pretending they don't exist, is a conveyancing company somewhere in the Midlands area.

[Craig the Princess]

Been out with Mrs the Princess to Prezzo for a really nice meal.

 

Ate so much I can now barely move

[Captain Furious]

Fucking hate the Facebook marketplace, unless you want to buy a soon-to-be-network-blocked iPhone 6S or a 2nd hand mattress that looks like it’s had an autopsy carried out on it.

Went to see Nile Rogers & Chic again last night.

Not only is Birmingham NIA a total nightmare to get to, it appears there's a dress code at the arena.

I'd just managed to spunk £9 on parking & £6 on a pint, in addition to the ticket price when I was surrounded by four security blokes.

"Does Sir have any foot wear with him before he enters the auditorium?"

Sir produced a pair of filthy muddy, shitty flip flops from a poly bag, dropped them on the floor causing spatter and slipped them on.

"I wouldn't want Sir to be slipping over..."

 

In the words of Jim Morrison, 'Is that any way to behave at a Rock n Roll Concert?'

All that hassle to see Nile Rogers fellating himself onstage.

 

I honestly like most of the stuff he's done but he's doesn't half drone on about it and constantly reminds everyone how fucking great he is and how he's the only reason *insert artists name here* is famous.

 

I found seeing the cunt painful to watch. His ego might've shrunk slightly in recent years but I doubt it.

[Zelandeth]

Was just about to head up to bed and noticed this in the corner of the utility room ceiling.

 

 

That's water coming through. 

 

Hoping it's just spillage from the bath above (the very trendy shower door is utterly useless) rather than something else I need to fix, as if it is will likely be behind tiled wall.

 

Will get the bath panel off and see if I can see anything tomorrow.

99% of the times I get a call out to this it's the silicone seal/grout that's failed. It's never been the pipework behind the tiles or whatever.

Android or some other? If it's android all but contacts will be backed up to your Google profile.

[loserone]

Contacts.google.com is your friend.

 

Also, I'd use a hand drill to put a couple of holes in that ceiling, release the load of the water and give it a chance to be a patching job, not a plastering job

[Tamworthbay]

I am the last lover of windows phones on the planet but it SHOULDhave backed up to the google account but try telling it that.

I think I could happily bludgeon the creators of that bloody ‘Baby Shark’ song.

I totally agree with you.

He lays down a cracking groove with a whole bunch of songs in a medley and then stops and talks.

And the mood is gone, and he has to start again.

Fucking don’t even get me started again

Mouse in the loft. Put two humane traps for it down and one not so humane. Poor thing went for the non humane one. I feel shite

After you sort the leak, dab over the ceiling with white gloss. It works well and you hardly notice.

Don't worry too much.

There will be loads of others still alive up there.

[MorrisItalSLX]

the worst thing is the car is less than 200 miles away from 200k

 

 

Anyone?

[nebuchenezer]

Did a present run on Saturday,

 

Sandwich to Ealing to Staines to Dover to Sandwich.

 

The level of cuntery observed whilst driving defied belief.

 

I used to love driving, Can't fucking stand it now.

 

This makes me sad and angry.

[loserone]

Mate of mine had nice that stopped being fooled by even the non-humane ones. He ended up doing the coke-can-on-a-spit covered in syrup, over a bucket of water trick, and left it for a week.

 

Not even sure I can finish that story.

If you like 4 degrees, pishing rain, traffic and it being dark at 3 in the afternoon, then it probably is. I fucking hate Christmas.

Interesting rewording

I like winter, once it's winter & snow is everywhere. This endless autumn & xmas can cunting cunt off to cunt.

[cros]

Look at the state of my motor. My good lady wife cleaned it and after just one trip into the local town she might as well have not bothered. There's no point in having a nice shiney car when you live near a dairy farm which causes the road to be smothered with cow shit and mud from their tractor wheels. I don't even drink bastarding milk.

[sierraman]

Turns out the £300 at Vauxhall is just for the belt! Fuck me blind!

That is shameless stat-padding. They're not counted & you've been fined a further one (it was nearly two but I agree with you).

[Datsuncog]

Shitting nora, that's abject larceny!

 

 

I take it they wouldn't be overly impressed if you showed up with a £9 ECP special on the passenger seat, and asked them to wang it on while they're doing the warranty work?

 

Or are all belts for your motor artisanally crafted from leprechaun hats and unicorn pubes?
