The grumpy thread

[Rusty Pelican]

Mothers had her xray and shes broke a femur , they cant operate till Monday so we spent a good few hours in Hospital visiting today , felt sad she wasn,t at ours for crimbo dinner , pops seems a bit lost , Mum seems happy enough though on morphine .

Could be worst though , they found a body a week after that woman went missing in Bristol , what that family is going through makes mine and mums grumps pail into insignificance

HAPPY FUGGING CHRISMAS

RIP Great Uncle Graham. He died yesterday aged 85.

 

He very nearly died in 2005 actually - attacked with a machete in 2005 and then got pneumonia last year and spent several months in hospital. He was a great man, very active and jolly right up to the end.

sorry to hear that... read the link.... instead of locking the insane twat up they should have shot him through the head with a high powered hilti nail gun

[STUNO]

Sorry to hear that Angry Dicky.

Machete attack happened here http://www.nzherald.co.nz/assault-and-h ... d=10695587 the other day.

The knee-jerk reactors all said "give the police guns". One tv newsreader commented that in this case he would not have been reading an article on a policeman being attacked as the next day's headline would have been " Policeman shoots 14 year old "

[cms206]

Spent last night in hospital due to falling down like a twat. Hobbled around like a bigger twat locking up the bus and the garage, before driving myself to the hospital.

 

Result... "We don't quite know what you've done, but your right knee is full of fluid and it's about two and a half times bigger than it should be. Have some crutches and come back on January 11th to see the physioterrorist."

 

Ouch.

after making a balls-up of both Life on Mars and The Office, american TV executives have decided to ruin Shameless

 

ive just watched a 20 minute taster for the show, its crap

 

[mk1_4dr]

Women.

I should be made up, but something just isn't right... I can't put my finger what it is though.

Maybe Im not cut out to be in a releationship, maybe I am in-fucking-capable when it comes to 'love'

 

Also, escRot. I really do hope your not as frilly underneath as I suspect, but Im not that fucking lucky.

From what I've seen I thought the Yank Office was pretty funny

[Guest]

Shameless couldn't be any less funny, so at least they've set the bar low.

[pogweasel]

Is shameless supposed to be humourous then?

[eddyramrod]

I have to agree Hirst, even though a friend of mine appears as an extra in a late episode (of the UK version). It is, in fact, total crap. Until I saw Shameless I thought The Office was bad! Just shows, you never stop learning. Now Benidorm, that's a barrel of fun! Let's see Hollywood try to remake that!

[Guest]

I don't think it really knows what it is meant to be. Everyone in it is truly vile, so there's no one to root for, but it isn't funny either. It's like a semi-serious drama about a load of characters who might as well be dead.

I'd like to see the Americans remake some more of our classic sitcoms. Preferably the really edgy stuff like Take A Letter Mr Jones or maybe Doctors Daughters. That's My Boy with Mollie Sugden is due an american makeover but I think HBO would have to pick that one up due to the adult theme.

Maybe. IIRC the opening credits had plenty of early 7 series BMW action.

Buying a DVD and getting it home to find they'd only put the bonus disc in

[Pete-M]

I quite like Shameless. It's like an endless reminder of how shite some of Manchester is (Other cities also have shite bits, but hey).

 

Frank Gallagher is a legend.

Who's the spoon faced bint who ran the pub with Jamie, but got knocked up by the smooth drug dealer in the CLK? Karen?

 

She's just utter, utter filth - never get tired of shagging that.

Driving around trying to find a bloody Tyre inflation Machine that actually works, 3 petrol stations had the old "NOT IN USE" signs. GAH!

[eddyramrod]

If you do find one, it'll be a pay one. All the out-of-order signs will be on the free machines.

[Lord Sterling]

They are all pay ones now, I noticed the free-air machines starting to disappear early this year. Now they are all digital pay ones now (well, at least in my local area). I did eventually find one that worked.

 

Next job is to find a car wash that isnt frozen/borked.

[Lankytim]

I stopped at Stafford services to blow up the tyres a bit. Had to wait behind some intolerable fuckwit in a merc who had parked in the way so he could do some shopping, 5 mins later he moved and I found the air machine out of order. Tried to steal my 20p, too. I beat the living shit out of it until the 20p appeared in the returned coins slot. The whole episode pissed me off for the next few hours.

 

Why do petrol stations allow safety critical equipment like air machines go out of order? I find this almost as annoying as petrol stations advertising LPG but when you try to fill up you find they haven't stocked it since 1998, usually the staff either don't know what LPG is or have no idea where the nearest LPG station is. Thanks for that.

All the Shell ones used to be free, but they're all now not free. I think they got fed up with the amount of times they broke. The one near me just had two tubes coming off for years, both totally knackered.

Sainsbury's still do free machines though.

[eddyramrod]

Just to make you all jealous... I don't think I've had to pay at any garage airline over here. I'll try not to gloat...

[scaryoldcortina]

I own a garage, with an airline. So there, ner! .

[eddyramrod]

I'm trying to decide if that's Dick Dastardly-level cheating, or simply a total win...

[dollywobbler]

I hate getting tyres inflated on the forecourt. I just use my jump pack which has a built-in compressor (using a separate digital pressure gauge so I actually know what pressure's going in!).

 

I loved the tyre pressure inflaters in Scandinavia. It's basically a jar of compressed air and you lift the whole thing so you can easily reach each wheel - none of this scraping a hose across your bonnet nonsense, or getting caught under a tyre. When done, you put it back on its little connector and it automatically refreshes the pressure. Brilliant. Bet they're all being replaced too...

 

The digital ones really piss me off. Unecessary complication and they're so shit slow if you've got a lot of air to get in! I'd dropped the pressures on the BX in a feeble attempt to get a little more grip in the snow. Stupid machine managed to re-inflate three tyres before it decided I'd had my 20p's worth. As it was one of the rears that was low, I just drove home.
