The grumpy thread

weather forecast wrong yet again...

Gok Wan. What the fuck IS that thing. Get off my tv now.

Gok = God Only Knows

[Mr H Sceptre]

Gok Wan. What the fuck IS that thing. Get off my tv now.

Agreed. I met him a couple of times when he worked with a few of my mates for BT in Leicester. He was a utter cock then.

 

I really don't understand why a certain section of the gay community have to be camp. If you're gay you're gay, its no big deal to me, BUT, I really hate it when they camp it up. Uneccessary..

[brammy777]

Gok Wan is quite the hypocrite....

Also, I dont really trust his knowledge of stationary so I dont know why WH Smiths used him for their adverts.

I've never understood that either. Why would being gay make your voice go high?

 

As for Go Wank, I refuse to purchase any product endorsed by him.

[Guest]

I think the reason Gok Wan appeals to women is because he's completely sexually unthreatening, he even looks strange, like a rejected mannequin or something. Therefore it's alright for him to prod and poke them and tell them to get a haircut.

A woman at work recons every woman needs a male gay friend to take shopping , she has and frequently carts the poor bloke off when shopping for cloths , unbiast opinions on how clothes look , unthreatening behaviour , she says its perfect.

[Station]

Is he actually gay? He doesn't speak in the stereotypical gay voice.

[Guest]

I reckon all women should adopt a Nora Batty style appearance of long dress and cardigan, with hair in rollers and a face full of scowl. I would be a great fashion consultant.

A bit of an obscure technical one this - the way windows/Microsoft operating system handles disc operations. Basically, if your disc has a bad sector, you're left there while it wonders what to do for hours. I'm formatting a disc with a dodgy sector and it's whirring wildly, and I can't cancel it, because Windows is still shit. It's been like this for 20 years. I've also knackered a laptop hard drive in the last 20 minutes, because I unplugged it from the USB lead. I knackered my 80gb one with all my work stored from my last job, because it just didn't feel like working anymore.

We're meant to trust these things for data storage?

[myglaren]

I did backup before installing the last version of Ubuntu, onto a spare hard drive that's been floating around for years.

 

Which failed miserably when I attempted to access the files

 

Bloody typical as I normally don't bother with backups.

Bent as a dog's hind leg.

owowowowowow

 

Back pain. I felt a bit stiff yesterday but today I can barely move for the pain in my lower back. Nothing is comfortable, I can't sit stand or lie down without it hurting and it's really starting to piss me off. Bah.

[RedSparrow]

Smoking again. These bloody L&M cigarettes - I am now smoking around 30 a day.

Having a brilliant business idea on Saturday morning, and not being able to do anything about it like design business cards, because it depends on getting suitable insurance and they're all closed until Monday, when I have a bunch of other stuff to do.

[Guest]

Can't you find one of those self-serve machines where you can get them made up? I would recommend doing that, they always look stylish.

[eddyramrod]

I'm sure I could, but I have a perfectly good design programme on my PC... what I don't have is a programme that will tell me if I can get the appropriate insurance for me to operate this business, and if so, at what cost! Never mind, it's 2320 on Sunday now, not long to go until I can sit in the insurance office gazing with repressed lust at the lovely Cypriot lady who deals with my car insurance needs...

[gearoil]

Fucking work...

 

Fininshed up work for two weeks off on Friday, Jnr Gearoil due anytime

 

Force of habit checked my Blackberry this morning to find the big boss down south wanting 3 urgent orders fufilled today... My relief arrives in the office Tuesday (after the bank hol the rest of the company is taking.. ) to look after the place, why can't I be left in peace ffs! ITS YOUR PROBLEM, I'M TAKING MY HOLIDAY YOU CUNTS. Couldn't get anything done even if I did go in, I gave my keys, van, card, etc to my workmate to use while I was off, and he'll either be in a bank holiday hangover or tearing up parts of East Lothian on his motocross bike.

 

I'm lucky in the way my industry has been safe from all the unplesantries thrown up of late, but by christ they certainly want their pound of flesh in return. I give them 60-65 hours a week ffs, just give me my 2 weeks of peace...

 

I left my own phone number in my handover I emailed to those concerned for anything URGENT, so my arse is in the clear? ( I hope.. )

 

Not switching the damn thing back on until I go back to work.

[Station]

Why am I getting no fucking interest in my car whatsoever? It's been up for sale for 1 month and I've had one casual 'would you swap?', before disappearing?

[messerschmitt owner]

Well, I am having a similar story with the Z600 - offered £800 by someone who then tells me he's just managed to buy another - what is the chance of that happening! Told him I have lots of brand new spares, so we'll se if he needs anything ...

 

My real complaint though is flickr - why change the easy way of getting images off your site to something more complicated?

[Station]

It's in good nick with tax and test and would take 900 - 1000 on it, but not a peep! Thought it would've gone by now.

[Minimad5]

Didn't know you were trying to sell the Astra Dave.

 

Guess you have popped it up on Wiki-Wirral with a load of pictures ?

 

What about a thread here, or on a Vauxhall owners forum.

 

Good Luck

[Station]

I've put it everywhere! Omnl;y place I haven't tried is ebay.

[Pete-M]

I've put it everywhere! Omnl;y place I haven't tried is ebay.

So you mean it has

 

all the second hand appeal of a white dog turd and are about as eay to get rid of as a pork chop at a Jewish wedding.

Can you still swap it for the Volvo?

Yeah, that's a better way of putting it. Think I'll leave it for a couple of months. The bloke's wife was against the idea as she liked the Volvo.

I bought a spares Maestro to felch some bits from for my (soon to be) road going Maestro. It had the same blue interior so I was pretty chuffed. Removed a load of trim to replace cracked and damaged items and bummed it for its mint bootlid. Result! The rotted carcass was weighed in for some much needed coin and the wife had her parking space back. Yes!

 

Was playing with the road going Maestro today and I noticed the drivers seatbelt stalk is borked- I had forgotten to remove the good one from the spares car... and I left the drivers side floormat from the Audi on the back seat of said scrapper, which, has of course now been cubed. Balls!

 

Has anyone else left something inside a car they weighed in? e.g full snap on socket set, first born child e.t.c.

[eddyramrod]

Well I sat across the desk from the lovely Cypriot lady today and she calmly told me there wasn't a snowball's of getting the insurance I need for this venture. Tried elsewhere and got the same message. This is not looking promising. So much for private enterprise.

 

But she did look awfully cool in that way the Mediterranean women have while she was trampling on my dreams of first-time self-employment.
