"its the most wonderful time of the year"

 

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

Interesting rewording

 

(I know it doesn’t quite fit but I’m currently singing it in my head )

"its the most wonderful time of the year"

 

                -Some wank who was wrong.

 

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.

 

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

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.

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).

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?

What is problem?   That's exactly how a P4 should look.

I think I'd be quite offended if someone tried to take £300 off me for a rubber belt.

 

Fucking cheek.

[LightBulbFun]

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.

 

if it makes you feel any better, heres the slight* damp we have in the Bathroom (and the kitchen bellow for that matter)

 

(it looks a little worse then it might only because all the paint was falling off the wall so one of the people in the household took one of those paint scrape things to help it breath and so you dont get covered in bits of paint every time you go for a slash)

People who flash you of a speed camera van... facing their way and not yours.

 

How are these people allowed near a car is beyond me.

A90 from Stonehaven to Dundee. It's a 50+ mile stretch of NSL dual carriageway covered in average speed cameras.

 

Whenever I drive this stretch of road, I set the cruise control and leave it. I end up overtaking numerous people who bimble well below the speed limit the whole way. I also get overtaken by numerous people who seem to be doing 80+ mph and then stand on the anchors for every camera.

 

I despair.

"During a choppy sailing, there has been a movement of vehicles on the car deck"

 

Choppy? I'll say! looks like the ferry got 45 degrees to the flipping sea!

 

Edit to add, I suspect there may be some 'additional damage' to the carpets and walls from the foot passengers chundering all over the place too

[SierraMikeHotel]

There's a long stretch of the M23 that's got a 50 limit covered by average speed cameras for long-term roadworks ("upgrading" to a smart motorway, but that's another grump) and it's the same experience there.

I remember boarding a ferry at Dover - the ramp was up and down like a brides nightie - that was day I developed super human sphincter control.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

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.

 

 

 

Much cuntery in evidence today. Went to the local retail park where it took 5 minutes to get in, 10 minutes to buy some jeans in Next, and a whopping 20 minutes to get out again. Fucking insane.

 

Next stop, the doctors to sort a repeat prescription.

 

Cuising along the ring road, realise I'm in the wrong lane but there's load of room to indicate and ease in. No problem apart from the spam javelin in the black Kia Kunt behind me who is so incensed that I safely indicated and merged, that he decided to drive really closely. That's fine dickhead because if you rear end me, it's your fault. So I cruise along and he backs off. Sorted? No. Because I need to turn left and as I indicate and slow town to take the turn, this cock muncher decided to accelerate and flash his lights. I think he saw me give him the finger and I hope he's really angry now about his sad life.

 

Fucking prick.

Are you trying to outcunt me?

 

You cunt.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Exactly. One day there will be no petrol and all these cars will be useless. Drive it, get it covered in shit, wash it, repeat.

Having had the misery of being on a P&o ferry... Many drivers sleep in their cab to avoid going on deck.

 

Hopefully there was no one in their cab on that boat.

They might charge you that in a fetish shop, but I'm sure at that price it would include a nice gimp hood.

That's also padding... not counted & a one cunt fine has been imposed.

I bet it was a fun crossing!

How are these people allowed near a car is beyond me.

 

They work in both directions if they have a clear line of sight. As far as I'm aware it's only Gatsos that can only work from behind.

They are cunts.

Don't worry Rev, you're still the biggest cunt here.

I've never been allowed on the car deck when a ferry is at sea, doesn't the free/discounted food tempt them all in?

[alcyonecorporation]

Free/discounted food?! 

[Guest Hooli]

Free/discounted food?! 

 

I recall from driving coaches that the driver's lounge bit always had cheap or free meals, I forget which as it was many years ago.

I can't agree. I love watching people who have no understanding of the word average. I quite enjoy sailing through roadworks at a sat nav 52/53. Apart from arsehole tailgating truck when you have no where to go. They can piss right off.

[mercrocker]

I remember when the "catering" on one of the Viking ferries (the truck-only one, Viking IV out of Southampton) amounted to a site cabin lashed to the open deck.   Some days the wind would wrench the door out of your hand, others it would pin it against the frame and shut you in.    

 

Funny enough there was a bit of an incident at work today so I cheered up the Safety reps and management by flicking that ferry mis-hap around on email.   Trouble is I included too many managers......No sense of humour some fuckers.
