The grumpy thread

The brake drums did not want to go back on to the sd1. I got one on but the other simply refuses to go back on - to top it all the cylinder is now leaking.

This hateful car does not want to return to the road - my mojo is going.

so wanted to record something off tv

cant use mine as aerial is powered by usb and it only has one socket

so use the smart tv in the other room (jvc)

plug in usb - figure out how to get epg then look for prog and press record for later

i did test it by recording for a minute what was on tv right then

forgot about it till about half an hour ago *wonder if it worked

how on the small tv here you press source and flick down till you find usb whatever press and away

not this one - eventually found out it was in the set up menu (the bit you use when you first set up the thing) - also now its set up - my tv if you try to turn it off it gives option of turn off with or without recording and if its recording while its on theres a red dot in the screen

it was only £90 a fucking logik ffs - the all singing all dancing internet jvc doesnt do that the only way you know its taping is the on off light blinks like mine does

thats not very helpful is it fucks sake

not buying a jvc ever now

cunt!!!!!!!!!!!

*calmer

edit you know what film im taping??? scarface :D (you know the bit at the end where hes freaks out - that was me 20 mins ago :D )

edit 2 i think i might just buy a bigger logik with more usb's :D

ps cuuuuuuuuuuuunt

An ex of mine couldn't work out how a vhs knew what you were recording if the tv wasn't on

She was setting down to eastenders 1 night and the tv went pop

I said calm down,we can record it and watch it tomorrow once we get a new tv

But how does it know what to record if the tv isn't on? she asks

The recorder channel is tuned to bbc 1,recorder doesn't care if you can see it or not. It will just record that channel

But how does it know???? You could be recording anything if you cant see it!!!

It doesn't matter says I, TV doesn't even need to be plugged in at all

Well,that proper melted her brain

That's what you get for affronting the natural order of things and using Gas rather than Charcoal to cook on a BBQ!

After the non-stop veggie shit I’ve had to eat for the last 7 weeks of being at the mercy of my Mrs and daughters at home, I’d polish that lot off in one sitting, right now. Ok,maybe not the corn.

I can't read the small print, is that actually a bottle of DIY Tetra Ethyl Lead? One to keep on the shelf next to the Zyklon B and the Tabun.

I did that with my ex.
My 40th birthday she asked what I would like to do/want.
I said 'nowt man don't make a fuss'.
I got exactly that, not even a card.

My wife did that to me once.  Said nothing My Birthday is the day after.  Didn't say anything until the day after that. Went fucking mental.  Apparently I could have got her something. Anything. The day after that is Valentine's day.  She didn't want what I had bought her......that was 26 years ago. Should have realised.

Most of the dashcam videos are crap but this one , it's a combination of really shit drivers and downright dangerous ones

The first clip left me a bit WTF ?

Someone not too far away has made the assumption we want to hear him singing via big fucking speakers.

I might go and start my car up, that'll drown the caterwauling out.

Unless you've got a cherry bomb the effect may not be enough; do you know anyone with a sportbike equipped with a 'race can'?

Un-resonated Milltek, which from cold is loud. Although the previous exhaust I had the famous eBay Malian would rattle windows it was that loud.

How is having an obnoxiously loud exhaust morally any better?

Fourth clip was the one that shocked me - it's a very good job the driver of the Audi glanced to their right, else that would definitely have been fatal for all involved.

My neighbour has a shih tzu that since Christmas has been getting kicked out in the garden 24/7. 

It doesn't bark. It screams, and it never stops.

At first I was grumpy. Then it started waking me up at 3am at which point shit got serious and I went round. They would never answer the door but just twitched their curtains. Obviously they know it's a problem.

So I got the council involved, who were as much use as a chocolate fireguard. Apparently barking dogs are impossible to prove as being a statutory nuisance. Despite them standing in my bedroom at 10pm listening to endless screaming. Looking at recent FOI requests our council has not issued a single noise notice for barking dogs in several years. I assume someone in the department is an equally selfish dog owner and doesn't see the problem.

Im a really calm and zen person. I tend to shrug at most things. However my nerves are shattered and I'm now on beta blockers to stop this riling me up. Today I stood holding a brick aimed at their window and I'm not entirely sure why I put it down.

People with barking dogs need to be tortured, shot, and their children sterilized with rusty razors.

Posted

I'd be going round at 10 pm and smashing fuck out of their front door until they answer it.  And then again at 2am.  And again at 4am.  Might get the message then.  I'd love to hear them complain to the council about it!

And dogs barking is a noise nuisance.  Plenty of people have been prosecuted for it.  First thing to do is to keep a diary of every time it barks.  I know that basically means every single day will be "Dog barked all fucking day", but a diary of times is admissible as evidence, so it's well worth having.

If the dog is screaming that much, maybe a quick call to the RSPCA and having one of their officers make a visit might "re-focus their minds".  The dog is clearly in distress to be barking that much.

This particular picture is why when teaching kids the green cross code, you also add, 

If possible always use a pedestrian crossing.  When the green man is lit up, you should check that there is nothing coming.  Only cross when the cars have stopped. Better to be safe than in the right.
