The grumpy thread

[Guest Leonard Hatred]

I'm grumpy about Norm

Set fire to the house!!! Then when your neighbour does bother his ass to come and see, and finds a smouldering shell you can say 'well, I did try to tell you...'

 

QUALITY!!!!!!!!!!

[Louise2cv]

F@cking snow over-reactions!

 

The midwife rang to say all homebirths are cancelled. They can't get ambulances and midwives out so you have to get yourself to hospital if anything happens. Eh? So I've got a magic snow-mobile but they haven't?

 

Also I happened to look on the BBC website to be told people in LL54 and 55 postcodes will be able to collect post from the village postoffices because deliveries cannot be made. Oh so they can't get to us but we can get to them?

 

I wouldn't mind but most of the ROADS ARE CLEAR and even the snowy ones can be walked on and *shock horror* driven on!

 

I was driving about at 1:30 this morning in heavy snow/ice making the "essential journey" to pick up Matt and his Sergeant from their Christmas do. Even the main A487 was white over, but... Guess what? NOBODY DIED.

Felt TG was a bit pointless to be honest. The Road didnt really seem to have a reason apart from they could take some nice cars to the US. The Stig bit was ok to start with but after that felt a bit rubbish.

 

And when will they stop with the "OMG FIRE" stuff. Oh accidently plunging the studio into the dark because they hilariously set some fuse off. It is getting more like a crappy sitcom every series. On Dave this week they had the BL one with the SD1, Dolomite and Sprint. That is what TG should be like..

[Louise2cv]

My mood is not improving.

 

Guess what? There is no van at the Postoffice, the post mistress hasn't got a clue what anybody is on about and she can't get through to the sorting office.

 

I think I am going to torch nextdoor (thanks Mr and then cross my legs.

 

And maybe go out on the treacherous tarmac road and buy shitloads of chocolate.

Wait until you see the TG 'Ashes special' against Australian TG.

They crush mint looking TR7, Allegro and Ital estate.

[michiel]

I watched Top Gear (I guess that's 4th for most shiters?) last night and had to laugh once, I've forgotten when or why though... still keep watching it for those few minutes per show that are okay.

[Cavcraft]

Starting to find I can live without Top Gear on these days. All these 'hilarious unplanned japes' and destroying of cars is starting to grate a lot now. Bringing the pipsqueek voiced, bubble headed bint VBH back would be the final nail in the coffing imho.

I've yet to see this but apparently the cars were not that mint. Still a travesty though, especially the Ital estate. They were crushed in a yard up in Bolton and are going to be used/have been used at the TG live show in London.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

even Andy Wilman reckons TG is old hat and a bit of a lousy parody of itself nowadays. I'm not falling over myself to watch it, thats for sure.

Petrol now £1-23.9 at the local Tesco..

i got unleaded for 117.9 today, but noticed the local supermarkets are still wanting 121.9 a litre for it - looks like they filled the tanks at the wrong time

[Timewaster]

Came close to hitting a cyclist this evening as I pulled out of a junction onto a main road. Before the Autoshite bicyclist contingent go mental, allow me to explain - I had come to a complete stop, looked both ways and back again, set off and then had to swerve as I nearly T-boned him - he had come out of nowhere doing 30mph, no front light, nothing even close to high-visibility (rider or bike), yet I'm the tosser for not seeing him. Wish I had got him, I'd have done a wheelspin on his stupid navy-blue leotard.

I assume that because you mention a leotard, you mean it was one of these chaps on £4000 worth of road bike who rides 90 miles in the rain on a Sunday morning to brag to his uninterested workmates about it throughout the week. The same kind of twat who rides 3 abreast on busy roads and then acts all indignant when car drivers are for some reason annoyed and surprised that the road is completely blocked by 45 year old middle management types riding round dressed up like cartoon condoms?

[Guest]

Yeah, one of them.

[cobblers]

Yeah, one of them.

Good because I hate them.

My grump for today... the Boots TV ad with the two women with colds reeling of all the things they've got do do/have done, including getting some medicine for the OMG! USELESS MAN!....

[Timewaster]

Twat joggers who have taken to running in the road because the path is a bit slippy.

Had near misses with two or three now!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

EVERYTHING

[Des]

I've had a few near misses with cyclists of late, like when waiting at lights, left indicator flashing, on taking off cyclist passes on nearside intending to go straight, obviously gonna die very soon, how many drivers check mirrors, ever? I wonder if they're recently repossed living beyond their means lifestlye statement shiny new German car inept fucking tossers who wouldn't / couldn't drive for shit and are no better on a pushbike.

TURN YOUR FUCKING FOG LIGHTS OFF, YOU MORONIC FUCKING GOBSHITE.

[M'coli]

I get pissed off at the cycle clothing that you can buy for winter nights - black leggings and a black jacket with reflective piping, the combined cost of which will be close to £200 when you add in other clobber to keep you warm, not to mention the shoes - anything else isn't "cool". Sorry cool guys, I'll be nicking about in the £20 saturn-yellow Hi-Viz gear from Machine Mart or wherever.

[boobydoo]

 

 

I've stopped shopping in Boots because of all their sexist advertising.

 

Plus they're a blatant rip-off. Ive bought the same contact lens solution from them for at least 15 years. It's the only thing I ever buy from there so its a pain in the arse to have to make a special trip. But I'm nothing if not loyal.......til they put the price up from 4.99 to 5.99 in one go. TWENTY f**king percent!!!

 

Never going there again. I'll buy something similar from Tesco.

[Richard]

stupid navy-blue leotard.

 

I'm grumpy because you didn't get him.

[CreepingJesus]

^Plus Boots 'offshoring' everything. Pay your fucking taxes - it's not like you're particularly cheap!
