The grumpy thread

[iainrcz]

Had a runny nose for a couple of days that has turned in to a hacking, phlegmy cough. And now due to coughing my ring up I've got a sore throat.

Winner.

It will take a week. For them to run a query on the database, and print a piece of paper. A fucking week. For a 10 second job.

This is some sick joke. 

It's been a week since the request was put in. Guess who still doesn't have the piece of fucking paper yet?

Serbian Bureaucracy - you will get your car registered when we can be arsed. You're paying everything up front though!

How long does a turd last before it goes off?

I was sent an NHS shit dipping kit the other day, promptly introduced it to my arse and packed everything up in the little envelope, which spent all day yesterday sitting on the worktop. Today I put in my pocket and took it for a drive round. I popped in at the shop, and walked straight past the fucking post box - twice - and brought my little dump home with me again. It's now back on the worktop & I'm hoping to take it out for another go tomorrow.

MK1 son is fixing his mates MOT fails on her Discovery 300tdi.

Rusted through fueltank cradle, replaced.

Steering ball joint replaced.

Pair of new headlights because the beam pattern is wrong.

Ok, she's picked up 200 ones by mistake, we'll get them swapped for 300 ones.

Except apparently they're NLA.

On a 1995 car

Really?? 🤦

 

 

Hold on to your hat but..... 

Well I think I have found you a nearside one.

Mot people must be on a mission at the moment. 2cver in the FB group who had a car fail with poor reflectors last year, and bought new ones for a pass, has had the same car fail again with the same issue. In over 30years I’ve never had a 2cv fail with lights.

Oooh I have, but that was because I picked up some cheap LHD lights. Much better for seeing the road, but the MOT man wasn’t impressed with the pattern.

I really appreciate the help, unfortunately she's now gone and bought a pair of secondhand ones, at considerably more than I've been shown ones for sale for!

Only thing I can say, is it was time dependent for a retest on the MOT.

Thanks again all for help and suggestions

I wouldn’t worry. The old test required four samples over consecutive days, so the first was at least 3 days old before posting. Just send it asap.

Don't know. I posted mine on the way home from work yesterday.  It was in my bag for the best part of 6 hours.

One more day and it will be the turd day in a row.

[Mally]

I refuse to do it.

I don't give a shit!

[barefoot]

I forgot to say, I posted it along with my local government ballot papers. A proper load of shit.

[High Jetter]

When I've returned my samples I've always thought using RM is a suitably shit way of sending shit to them (Apologies to Yoss and any other posties, you all do great work, I know it's the management).
