The grumpy thread

[chaseracer]

According to *all news media that appears to be the 29th of March; there was no specific mention of petrol but given the general air of doom, pending apocalypse, etc. I assume Beelzebub will be attending with associated imps, goblins and other affiliated servants of OMGKAOS, and that petrol will be rationed exclusively for use in *cocktails by those manning the barricades and those assailing them.

 

Vyacheslav Mikhailovich Skryabin approves this message...

As I recall from my patchy grasp of mid-20th century doings it was the Finns who got the best VALU from his namesake, although in the end the *glorious worker's paradise held sway and relieved them of the burden of living in Karelia.

[LightBulbFun]

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.

thats reminds me of how, when I was small I remember reading about how "WE MUST FOCUS ON MAKING CARS THAT GET OMGMPGS OR WE WILL RUN OUT OF LIQUID DINOSAUR IN 5 YEARS!!!"

 

these days I dont hear about that instead its OMG we must make sure nothing comes out of the pipe at the back to protect* the environment, did we suddenly find more Liquid dinosaur? LOL

[cort1977]

Well yes actually, lots and lots of 'em.

[HillmanImp]

I'm gonna get one of those petrol extraction pumps like Lee Majors used in The Last Chase.

 

[somewhatfoolish]

Well yes actually, lots and lots of 'em.

Broadly speaking the *evil oil barons have a thing called a business plan, which keeps shareholders happy by planning where oil is coming from up to about *20 years ahead. This is why modern history is filled with stupid people repeatedly pointing at proven reserves data and going 'ZOMG! Oil runs out in *20 years!'. Fringe thinking like abiotic oil theory aside, price will drive provision of alternatives long before it actually runs out.

 

 

 

 

*Actual number may vary.

Puncture on the freelander now too.

 

What a cuntbubble of a week this is turning out to be.

[SherpaMog]

I did the Navimag ferry from Puerto Natales at the tip of Chile, up the coast to Puerto Montt, about 10 years ago.

 

 

4 day journey on a mixed freight and passenger ferry. Generally utilitarian, but very scenic as mainly sailing up fjords, completely pristine and untouched. There's a bit just after Puerto Eden where you cross some open water, and the waves there have a fetch that brings them up from the roaring 40s. Fuck me. The drivers ratcheted their loads to the deck and then said prayers. Rolling 45 degrees to 45 degrees. Most of the passengers were sick. I got drunk at the empty bar, and remember being sat on a stool sliding from one end of the table to the other, drink in hand.

[SherpaMog]

This is the area I shall be traveling, after boxing day. Wbac permitting. Should have kept dick in trousers.

Employment prospects for builders shall be minimal I suspect so when money runs out back to shit I hate.

[Cheggers]

challenge it- take a bunch of pix to illustrate lack of signage

For the sake of £35?...I honestly don't think I'd bother if it was me.

[DodgeRover]

I always took the view that having a dashcam kind of invited bother, but this week's examples of total thundercuntery have made me wonder.

You can bet if they had clipped you then it would have been your fault, they would have sworn blind that you raced up behind them then swerved to deliberately hit them. The onboard recording devices on the police car would be broken or showing nothing. You would be lucky to keep your driving licence!

Get a dash cam and make sure it works

[DodgeRover]

They could possibly be being bloody minded like me. New neighbours at work, their planning specifically says no phone or WiFi needed. BUT now want a phone line across our celing, requiring several hours of inconvenience. Do i moan or report them to surrey heath BC?

Yes they've breached their planning terms, also moan and say they aren't having access to your property. They can use mobiles.

That's because they didn't catch manufacturers cheating with the MPG results.....oh wait....

[jumpingjehovahs]

Have fallen over twice today, so probably more feeling like a twat than grumpy. Once in the shower at the premier inn and once in a multi-storey car park.

 

Unfortunately landed awkwardly on my arse, which is a bit more achy than I’d like with a 3 hour drive ahead of me this afternoon.

Code for "I'm considerably richer than you and £35 is pennies to me"

[sierraman]

I’d wipe my arse with £35. Pay the man!

 

No seriously £35 is quite a bit this time of year, I’d contest it if at all possible.

[cros]

Dyson hair dryer, 200 quid. Are they having a larf?

Have you ever actually been through the ballache of contesting a ticket?

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

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.

 

 

The cunt is on Radio 6 now, drawling on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about all the fantastic things he's done.

 

Had to switch off.

[Sir Snipes]

I like Nile Rogers. He was on Desert Island Discs not long ago. He's produced all sorts of decent songs and survived cancer (twice I think?). He's entitled to at least a bit of ego.

[Lacquer Peel]

I haven't contested a parking ticket before. Maybe the time wasted is worth more than £35, fair point.

[clayts450]

Agreed - I may make a cursory visit to the spot again today, but I think they have me over a barrel for the road hump/pavement interface thing, irrespective of lack of road markings/signage.

 

Am also quietly amazed by the adhesive quality of the tickets Nottingham use - I didn't spot it when returning to car due to rain like stair rod piss. Drove 5 miles home in even more torrential rain, and it wasn't until I got home that I realised my lucky lotto winning ticket was stuck to the windscreen.

John Lewis ripped me off yesterday then because I paid £299.99 + 5p for a bag!

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Daughter no.1 just texted to say the 330d auto transmission has gone tits up. Lost drive in D went into R and was fine back into D no drive but drove OK in manual . Probes needs fluid, eh?

Seriously, anyone need a stonking 3 0 D lump for a Range Rover etc, sell complete still running ( just) with MOT till September (?) full leather and a Chinese android factory looking SatNav/ stereo etc. £500.

 

More info when I fetch it home, oh and car wanted urgently , Price of a Dyson hairdryer or less, prefer barge/ mid size.

There is one with gold trim for about £399 too. I know a lass after one & I keep taking the piss, it won't do anything a £20 argos special won't.

[xtriple]

After my epic treble dosing of opiates t'other day, I have been unwell. Well, there's a surprise! First night was spent itching (Morphine does that) and every time I came close to falling asleep, I'd start itching again. All day yesterday, massive headache/itching, finally got to sleep about 5 this morning (first time since Sunday) and was then unceremonially woken up by Phoebe needing a pee at 7:00 a.m.

 

Today I just feel like shit. On the bright side, all the drugs did stop most of the pain It's always the way though: choose to hurt or itch and not be in pain. Sometimes, the itching is worse.

 

Think I'll blame the dogs for giving me fleas rather than any stupidity on my part, yeah, that's it, the dogs gave me fleas

That's the curler, you need* that as well as the £300 drier.

 

Although, the way I look at it , you can't put a price on a good blow j.. Erm I mean dry. This is an investment for the year ahead.

[Guest Hooli]

I used to get the itching from Tramadol, it's bloody awful isn't it? Plus they stopped working for me so I was in agony and couldn't scratch.

Nope it's the dryer (they might do curlers too I don't know)
