The grumpy thread

[Volksy]

Making me grumpy this morning, and also grin is Jet 2's 0630 flight departing from Leeds Bradford.

 

It's an old Boeing 757, which I've been on many times, but to depart from LBA it needs full throttle, and it sounds mental. However it does wake me up every morning....

 

Apparently its a pair of Rolls Royce RB211, which make a crazy chainsaw sound.

[Cavcraft]

i really dont understand people who are cruel to animals

 

theres just no need for it

 

maybe an early morning raid is called for, with stunguns aimed at his nuts

 

later, back at the station, an intimate body cavity search may be needed too

 

 

Amen, brother. Someone should shave this fella's knackers and chuck him off the top of the nearest high rise flats. Cowardly, pathetic scum bag.

[Pete-M]

Been offered a BMW 528i SE auto (E39) for what I consider sensible money. Thing is, it's near mint and good spec being metallic green with immaculate cream leather, seems to run well but there are a few problems.

 

1) I've run out of space.

2) It's done 305,000 miles.

3) I've run out of space.

 

It's not coming up for a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure what it's worth with having had Jean-Luc Picard as a previous owner. The engine was replaced by BMW at 105k after suffering from Nikasil problems, it's had all the aircon sorted, all the bushes , discs, and a few other bits done in the not too distant past and is generally a good looking old thing. It's had the head done a while ago but uses 'a little bit of water' if it's thrashed. No sign of any leaks but it takes a minute or so to get all six cylinders chiming in of a morning. Same owner since 100k, and he's someone I've known for a good few years, a highly qualified engineer who's only moving it on because he's bought a newer 530 V8.

 

Would any of you lot be interested if I get my grubbies on it. The 528 is 'the best one' from my experience, quick as a 530 but better on fuel than a 525.

[wuvvum]

No, she couldn't. Because she doesn't exist. Star Trek isn't real, Norm. It's imaginary.

[Cavcraft]

What year range was the E39 from?

[scaryoldcortina]

No, she couldn't. Because she doesn't exist. Star Trek isn't real, Norm. It's imaginary.

 

 

Also (being pedantic) she was an empath not a soothsayer, so (if she had been real) would only be able to tell Pete if he wanted to buy it rather than anything useful....

[autofive]

just had a phone call from someone who was supposed to pick up a cortina shell from me today:

 

"hello, just setting off now i ll be there about 9pm"

 

i pointed out that it was dark, and i wasnt prepared to move 5 cars to get it out

 

"oh, err, i ll ring you tomorrow"

Re: Kim Carnes. I'm having trouble imagining why the effort. She's 66-y-o or summat now, and "Betty Davis Eyes".... were it really that good, mate?

 

I much prefer the Jackie DeShannon version.

[autofive]

Wiki = It is likely that Jimmy Page wrote the song "Tangerine" (which appeared on the third Led Zeppelin album) after the breakup of his relationship with DeShannon in early 1965.

 

 

Del Shannon?

Halloween.

 

The streets were full of snotty shitbag kids, their bell ended parents and idiotic students being even more obnoxious than usual. I went for a curry in Rusholme instead, but Watanabe_mother relayed her despair via text.

 

Oh yeah, and about 15-20 hooded scrotes (no doubt from Partington) all wearing Scream masks chucking rocks and bottles at the traffic near the town hall in Sale. One of them lobbed a rock at a mate's brand new car and it bounced off the A pillar. I hope someone ploughs into them all on purpose, crushes them to death and then reverses back over a few times to check. Maybe spraying a few SMG bullets into the still twitching corpses just to make sure. Seriously, if someone were to put them all down, who wouldn't benefit? No loss to society.

 

LITTLE FUCKING WANKERS. And the police were round the corner, but fuck off yeah, we're busy eating Pot fucking Noodles. Matey's worked his arse off for 18 months to buy his Pug and some little cumstain goes and does that.

 

*Adds another thing to the list of things Wat fucking despises*

[Cavcraft]

They should make them watch F1 as punishment.

Major cities in the UK need B Specials.

And we interrupt your normal intestinal programming for a bout of bowel shitting unpleasantness.

 

This damn thing was the reason I was up at 5 AM with a ring of fire. My own fault really - it was a mincemeat phaal which I then dumped on a mixed hot chilli naan.

Cleared me out though. Thank heavens for small mercies.

 

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

[Lufthansa-Terminal]

That looks like liquid Pickfords. (as in it will move anything)

[Cheggers]

Keema Phaal ...what did you expect, solids????

Cat number 1 has been missing for 2 weeks, which is a grump in itself as he is a total legend among pets - he has more personality than most of my family, is a total stunner, and seems to actually think that he's a dog. Bit worrying as he's never stayed away longer than a couple of days before.

Spoke to a woman from 2 streets down today who does voluntary work with RSPCA, apparently someone's been putting antifreeze mixture out for them,8 have gone missing in the last fortnight and 2 have been found dead. So presumably my beloved is rotting in a ditch somewhere. Joy.

I do, seriously, hope that I never ever find out who was responsible for it, as I will, without doubt, end up being prosecuted for GBH (at least), and the missus really doesn't need that kind of grief.

[Lankytim]

Heard a loud BANG coming from the front of the Volvo as a bus passed me on the way home from work yesterday. Just noticed today that I have a nice stone chip just under the drivers wiper. ARSES!!!!!!

 

Need to check my insurance to see if I can get it repaired for free. Its fully comp but a classic policy, so may not cover it.

[dollywobbler]

Even the classic folk usually cover it, though expect to pay an excess of £50 or so. If it makes you feel better, the day after collecting my 2CV after a lengthy resto, I got a stonechip in the BRAND NEW windscreen. Gah!

We've had some that have gone missing for weeks then just turned up like nothing happened, so here's to hoping your friend returns. If (God forbid) someone spineless, cowardly bastard has done something unspeakable to him and you need a partner in crime to return the favour please let me know. I'd happily blast down the A55 to help out, no problem.

[trigger]

Del Shannon?

 

I guess he had to runaway...

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll get my coat...

[RedSparrow]

There is a thread I can't find about shite trains - can anyone give us a link to it? I have some pictures to share. Thanks.

[CIH]

I may have to resort to ebay inoirder to shift my unwanted Xbox360. I imagine this won't go too well....

Cheers bud, I'm pretty sure something's happened to him though, we've had him years and there's not many places for him to go here (RAF base, miles from the town) - we've put posters up and leafleted the houses nearby, so someone would've seen him. Apparently it's not the first time someone's done it either, I guess that's what comes of living within half a mile of tracksuited fucktards. As you say though, still hoping

Sorry to hear that Mr Duke. My cat went missing a few months back. She has never come back, I did make enquiries but that turned up nothing, some people around here dont give a toss anyway.

 

I've had to accept that as she was old, she has probably gone away to pass away

 

I miss my cat very much, so I understand your pain.

[mattblack]

'Well, I didn't need my lights on at 5 o'clock last week...'

 

Fucktards.

[fiatdaft]

Idiot.

[eddyramrod]

Cypriots routinely put down poison, as cats tend to live wild here and are often regarded as a nuisance, except by the Brits. Makes walking your dog a bit of a minefield, but then they don't walk theirs, they tend to keep them in small cages in the garden until it's hunting day. Then the hound gets to go out in the tin box on the back of the pickup, and if it doesn't do well enough it gets abandoned. One of the cats went missing from our old house, up in the hills; came back after a couple of weeks, happy as Larry, stayed about three days then wandered off again. We never saw her after that, and since then we've moved, with her mother and brother (well we couldn't just leave them, could we?).

[M'coli]

Hmmm. Sold some wheels on another forum to a French guy who arranged for DHL to pick them up. Ignorant frenchman neglects to tell me that it's an all fucking day job, didn't he? That's me fucked for going for a dump from 9am to 5pm.
