The grumpy thread

[Zelandeth]

Been away over the weekend.  Had a great time, just on the road heading home now (being a passenger in your own car is really weird).  Just had a message from the in-laws who have been house (and dog) sitting for us: Apparently we have no heating this morning.  Great!  

Why can't we ever just have something nice without there being a sting in the tail at the end?

Hopefully it's just the random once every year and a half or so occasion when the pilot light has gone out for no readily explicable reason.  Though they are utterly non technical people so are being told to just turn an electric heater on if needed (there's a good reason I've kept a few) and wait.

Went out to Rover to discover crack in windscreen. 

£115 excess so not too bad.

somehow I dont see myself having this particular experience! (not unless shenanigans at the FoD are involved, which to be fair is quite likely LOL)

Bing bong bollocks.

Corner of the frame on my glasses just snapped (not the hinge), while I was gently cleaning them. Not dropped, not abused.

Only bought them new in June...

Should’ve gone to Specsavers! Oh, you did!

Swombo had this on a pair of hers, took them back.

' oh sorry it's a manufacturing fault, we'll fit another frame'

Took about a week, and sorted, worth a try?

Fucking around with waste pipes on the new sink.  None of it will fucking work.

Fixed my daughter's with "Tree Frog Oily Glue"

Wasn't expecting it to last five minutes but has held for about three weeks now.

I have said that I will buy her new ones but she is dragging her heels.
