The grumpy thread

[andy18s]

Things have taken a turn for the worse here in Bg as the police have been given a small payrise,but they get bonuses for each ticket issued.

So they are literally working on commission now so anyone who looks like they can afford it are getting pulled for the most ridiculous of things.

Myself in the Scoob and a newish Audi got pulled for not stopping at an invisible stop line.The other 3-4 cars on the same line of traffic didn't get a look as they were the Bg standard crap..

A friend of ours got stopped twice in his works Transit,rhd but all legal. 1st patrol gave his van and documentation the once over,seemed happy enough and sent him on his way.

The 2nd stop was 5km down the road.Given the same inspection but the copper was determined to find something. 

Gave my friend the full drink/drugs tests which he passed. Copper then decided a back light was broken,van was siezed and held until a new light was fitted.

Then it had to go through a new Pregled ( mot) before it would be released. 

All in all cost him around 1k Lev £450ish in lost time and expenses,with the actual fine for the light about 50 lev £24....

Currently entering week three of having what I think is a pinched nerve somewhere in my right shoulder.

I am really fucking fed up of continually being in pain.

It's only about a 4/10 on the scale, but when it's utterly inescapable that really gets old after a while.

Could be calcific growth. Wife had this on her shoulder, which is basically calcium growing off the edge of the shoulder. It then inflames the nerves, and results in pains up the back, across the shoulder and down the arm. Undiagnosed for over a year.  Our doctor nearly got her hooked on pain medication.  Yes she had other problems they found in her back, but nothing that a chiropractor couldn't solve. Unlike the shoulder. 

In the end a physio said. Let's take an x-ray of your shoulder....oh that's interesting. 

2 solutions

steroid injection cured hers on a week. 

Or keyhole surgery.  To physically remove it.

Is it national twat day 

On a single track road leading to fidlers ferry yacht haven there's only one bend 

Going in , some twat in a motorhome comes round it doing 20mph to be faced with me entering the bend  in the range rover, luckily at 5mph , i'd think his cupboards are pretty jumbled 

Coming out, same corner some dick in a corsa doing 30mph , we stopped about 5ft apart,  because I was doing 5mph

Why do twats drive round blind bends at speed 

Then I got onto the dual carriageway going through penketh and there's a fucking audi TT coming straight at me driving the wrong way

Lovely day out today in the Jag to meet my sister at Ellesmere Port Boat Museum, and possibly also meet WTC because it's his neck of the woods.  About to head home and the Jag shows me a message on the dashboard, suspension fault, too low.  So I called the RAC and they sent a van within the hour.  I had got as far as Chester Services on the M56.  And that's where I am now, with the excellent @warren t claim.  We've just had a McDonald's and I've got a good four hours to wait for the recovery truck.

Partly my fault for being tired in the rain and mostly the twats fault zooming across a roundabout in Milton keynes with just sidelights on at 9pm in the rain I found  my brakes still work OK with a good shove, we slid a tiny bit though (no abs) 🤣

Hoping that's enough for an mot pass in a week or 2 as their desperate to be changed, first job after payday for sure

Millions of pounds worth of equipment, and this is the sort of thing my workplace does.

 

That is a sealed, water cooled electrical cabinet.

So just to clarify, the grump is the Jag being a Jaaag and not having to spend time with WTC? 😛

I hope you gave a corporate wedgie to whichever live organ donor that did that.

I usually kick off about stuff like this, but I just can't be arsed with the place anymore.

Let them fuck it up & start winging how crap it is for the money it cost.

You should try living around here. No fucker can walk - cars everywhere and full of old giffers circling the plughole - every trip out is a game of chicken with somebody driving a honda jazz.

It's like god's waiting room.

[Bren]

Selling your car? Taking pictures?

Then get rid of the costa cups out of the cup holders. A hoover and clean also helps raise interest in your overpriced shit box.

[Sunny Jim]

I dunno, it's a useful cue to scroll on by - if they can't be arsed to remove their used cups what's the chance of them doing much in the way of servicing or maintenance?

Considering every electric MG I see is driven by somebody over 75 and electric cars accelerate like scalextrix cars when your sister has a go i'm amazed we're not seeing more giffer videos from supermarket car parks where they've done a burnout and taken 4 cars out

A very old priest already did something similar in a Prius at a funeral.

At Ellesmere Port yesterday a giffer in a diesel VW people carrier backed out of a Disabled space... straight across the aisle to where I was parked in another D space.  Because I'd parked correctly, his back bumper met my front bumper, an event I not only saw but also heard and felt.  As I stepped out of my car, he found a forward gear and scarpered.  Fortunately for him, Handsome wasn't damaged.

You could just join them😉

No coffee cups either😁

I’ll give you a good deal for it 😆

My son's girlfriend is going to be looking for a new car , some numbnuts in a crew cab pickup rounded a bend on a country lane on the wrong side of the road 

She put hers up the grass but not enough to avoid him,  the cunt just drove off , didn't even stop to check she was ok , he didn't get far as it had a flat tyre and knackered suspension , she's got broken fingers, damaged teeth and whiplash 

She was lucky it wasn't a head on with 2t of toyota hilux

Jesus fucking christ! Did someone get their details? 

[Talbot]

Hopefully details and a report to the fuzz.

Who will of course do nothing.  But on the back of that you take out a private prosecution for everything you can throw at the cunt.  Personally, I'd like to see "driving away from the scene of an accident" be "you're fucking banned for life, twatface".

Did you get it on your dashcam?

[alcyonecorporation]

The local cunts who, without fail, rain or shine, snow or wind, every evening (around 11pm/11.30pm) set off fireworks.  
Not bottle rockets, either:  the full on blazing, banging and shrieking fuckers which terrify my landlord's cats and wake the entire street up. 

Police won't attend and the last time the community centre was approached about their behaviour, the organiser squared up to my neighbour, who works shifts, claiming it was his 'fucking right, you cunt' to send the fireworks up. 

I suppose they have stopped letting them off in the day (regardless of weather) but now I've fucking jinxed it. 

Selfish bastards.

He didn't get far , police on scene, cautioned him for dangerous driving , no dashcam unfortunately but it looks like there won't be any contesting blame as she's up the grass at the point of impact
