The grumpy thread

[Negative Creep]

Due to poor financial planning on my part I was about 30quid short of a house deposit. Now got to hope someone turns up tomorrow to buy my car stereo and that the place is still available. Got a cheque waiting to clear as well but it is taking 6 days - why does it take so damn long?

[Lord Sterling]

Still without a fucking car

 

Please confirm this is a typo. All of us on here love cars, but not THAT much, surely?

 

It is a typo mainly because I'm angry and cant think straight, I own 4 cars and am either walking or bussing it. Hows that possible?

 

Keyboards (As in PC ones) - they are getting on my nerves. Mind you, having been abroad and geting uset to Eurupean keybrds the oddd typo will crepe up.

Bloody 'ell, surely you can borrow £30 from someone?

will crepe up.

 

 

 

I can empathise with the walking/bus thing, seem to have done a lot of that recently!

[Lord Sterling]

Bah! You've just made me hungry looking at that "Crepe"

[Vin]

BUMHATS.

 

I've just started on the IPA and got a big of pistachios on the go in preparartion for my weekly dose of WALLANDER. Just checked and it's NOT ON. Bastards.

 

I'll have to watch my 'Chinese Detective' DVD instead.

Here's a little tale about me and windscreens (over the past five years).

 

I was putting a new steering rack in the car. I was bolting up the steering column frame back, and the socket ratchet handle was close to where the windscreen was. I thought "Wouldn't it be awful if the the handle hit the screen and cracked it." The next turn, the handle hit the screen and cracked it. It was only in the driver's view.

 

A new screen in, and on the SAME DAY it was fitted, I was travelling behind a lorry carrying hardcore. The lorry wasn't covered as the driver didn't give a shit, and a 1 inch peice of rock bounced down the road and landed on the same place the previous crack occured.

 

I had a new screen put in, and while the car was in the garage, young thieves broke in and decided that as well as stealing 1,500 worth of stuff, they'd smash my windscreen.

 

So I had another screen put in. The person who put the screen in was a complete amateur. He knocked the corner of the window, which produced a tiny crack which spread over the course of two months - right along the driver's line of view.

 

So, I had another screen put in. Yesterday, another lorry was carrying hardcore on the motorway, and another rock (I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same rock) flew out and hit the screen, leaving another crack.

 

Does this end? No, I bought another new screen, with the intention of putting it in myself (I've done it before, and wasn't going to pay another 40 quid extra to have it fitted). The screen had cracked down the centre before I even got it home.

 

The crack is going to spread, so I'm going to have to get another screen fitted before the next MOT.

Shame I hadn't thought about that when I hit some Volvo coupé driving twat's Ikea flatpack in the old Cavalier at 65mph.* I was driving up to the M621/M1 northbound interchange on Easter Monday 2001 when I spots this twat on the hard shoulder walking around a minty green colour Volvo coupé with slack ropes on the top. Then I notice the brown box in the outside lane -the one I'm in. I braked hard and then came off them just before I hit the box. The steering felt a bit odd after this, so I pulled immediately into the hard shoulder myself and checked out the tyre/wheel - it looked fine, so I got off my marks before the twat could confront me for scattering his 'Billy' across the motorway.

 

 

*Then again, I hadn't got to bed until 2 the night/morning before, and didn't stop drinking until half 1, so perhaps didn't want to make too much a deal of it.

[Station]

It happened a couple of days before as well, a couple of rocks were ejected from the top of a container on the back of a truck. I'm paranoid now that they're all out to get me.

[dollywobbler]

Reminds me when I did some van driving for my Dad's company. Was looking like the king of cool in a faded red Peugeot 305 diesel van with 250k on the clock and a windscreen where the laminate had gone off - like driving with a prescription windscreen, the wrong prescription.

 

Anyway, was following one of those huge artics full of scrap cars and it caught a branch, which dropped straight in front of me. A broadside skid meant I avoided it. The truck driver stopped a bit later so I had it out with him 'Sorry mate but the motorway was full of traffic.' Well, sorry, but I'd rather you were sitting in a queue than hurling branches at me!

X Factor.

 

A pretty enjoyable show ruined by whining/pleading slags who play the sympathy card because they're a one parent family living on the roof of a high rise tower block and they were abandoned by their only friend who was a pet dog who jumped in front of a passing 747. Or whatever self serving fucking bollocks they come out with. Get yourself some dignity and accept that you're shit as singing. Begging and 'card playing' makes you look an even bigger twat.

[Richard]

You do know it's all scripted don't you? The judges only see the people who are going to be featured on the programme.

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

X Factor.

 

A pretty enjoyable show

 

Incorrect. It's interminable. I'd endorse the actions of suicide bombers if only they'd wipe out the X Factor and the rest of ITV apart from Harry Hill who deserves better.

Some arsehole put a dent in the drivers door of my Kadett at a show today, I came back to it to find a dent in the lower half of the door with a scuff mark from a pram or wheel chair, It's pissed me off but luckily it's quite shallow and low down and the now the scuff mark has been clean of it's not noticeable unless it's pointed out, I wish people was more carefull.

Tonsilitis.

 

I has it.

Woke up this morning pretty much choking on my own massively swollen tonsils. Can't breathe properly, can't swallow and totally unable to speak. Which given that 'Er Indoors is still in bed and I am on Poglet patrol makes things interesting. Only way to communicate with smaller poglets is to write it down and have Poglet_Maximus read it out.

 

Plus, the poxy chemist in this one-whore town doesn't open on a sunday so i've to endure 24 hours of this before I can get any penicillin. Maybe they will actually whip the offending items out this time. Last time I had this (Dec '08) I finished up off work for two weeks. Do not want.

[retrogeezer]

poxy fookin weather again....

 

Was looking forward to the Blackpool Ford day today but I'll be buggered if I'm doing a 160 mile round trip on a wet M6 to sit on the wet and windy sea front watching the rain.

 

On the plus side the BTCC is on today ...

[Station]

I'm currently rolling my own ciggies. I was on 20 a day, which left me feeling like I had two dinghy's in my chest every morning, and it's too expensive. I spent 5 quid on Thursday, and still have the same bag of Golden Virginia, and I'm not smoking anywhere near as much as I was, about four a day (with a filter tip) basically because I can't be bothered rolling them, and it feels like sucking a pig through a straw, and because they're fairly horrible. But OMG, five quid over four days, and there's still loads left, I've saved 30 quid already.

You will get used to em , ive not bought tailor made fags for years , your rolling em too tight if you cant draw on them , they should blow your guts out meaning you smoke even less , 12.5 grams a week for me

[barrett]

Problem solved?

Problem solved?

 

It'd certainly keep them together better but it won't taste too nice when inhaled.

[maxpower]

Microshite Office packages..........

 

Sis' gets a new laptop. I come a across a CD with the 2007 Office 'trial version' and decide to install and see whats what. Decided I didnt like this new version, so I thought it would be a mater of uninstall the new version, install old version.............

 

 

No, this is Microsoft. Those shit faces at Microtwats omittedto include 1 vital file needed to complete installation, nameley a "PRO11.Msi" file, because they assume that everyone who has a Microshit run computer will have all the installation discs ready to hand.

 

No you dickheads. The computer I'm using was a freebie from a friend, it was of little value at the time, so natually I didnt get any Installation/package CDs. What I got was 1 computer tower, 1 small moniter, 1 keyboard and 1 mouse, and thats is it.

 

So now, thanks to the cock-jockeys at MicroFUCK I'm stuck with a shitty trial version of Office 2007 that doesnt work, and I cannot reinstall the old version. TURMOIL

 

FUCK OFF MICROSOFT AND DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
