Chav dad to chav mum in the middle of Tesco, with a crying baby

 

"why don't you shut that fucking thing up?"

 

 

There really is no hope for this country

 

 

Maybe if you had shut the fucking "Dad" up, there would be hope...... We all need to make a stand against this ignorant spiral the World is in. Pretty soon, just lke Leyland, we will be through the plughole. You would have felt SO much better afterwards.

 

 

Because if you say anything you'll get a torrent of abuse, react and you'll get stabbed or end up on an assault charge. I'd love nothing more than to have children of my own and it hurts me to see people who don't give a shit. In 15 years that baby will most likely be standing there saying the same thing.....

Earlier in the year I bought a couple of cars from some chap in the village.One of which had been sat in his back garden since October last year.This car, a Ford Puma, is on a private 'plate which the chap wants back so it needed MOTing before doing anything with it.

When I came out of hospital after a bout of pneumonia the Puma was left to one side due to needing a 17 inch tyre and a front coil spring.So for five months it has just been sat there.After reading about local dvla offices closing on here I decided to do something about the landmark in my front garden.After fitting a new tyre and spring I gave the car a run only to find it banging in the expansion tank and what would appear to be an overheating issue.Although the expansion tank was mightily hot and there was also a lot of pressure the top hose was stone cold.Now the thermostat could to stuck after standing so long or it could be the reason matey took the car off the road in the first place.The fact he neglected to tell me the other car overheated when driven anything over 60mph makes me think he knew neither car was any good.

Anyway,took the Puma for an MOT today and it failed on emissions.The CO2 reading actually went up as the car got warmer.I'm guessing the sensors in the housing for the top hose work some kind of cold start.The fact the top hose is cold would mean the sensors (two of 'em) are reading the engine is cold even when the temp gauge says otherwise.

Oh,right, so the thermostat is not in the top hose it's in a housing on the block underneath the alternator.I need to remove the alternator to get at one housing bolt but I can't as the air-con pipes are in the way.So I've had to take out the headlight and work through the hole to remove the alternator before removing the thermostat housing.Can't get another thermostat until tomorrow and somehow I have misplaced a 12 mm spanner......Grrrr

I still remember sitting on the luggage racks of a train whilst some young mum sat on the adjacent seats getting pissed on vodka-lucozade whenever the trolley went past... eventually she used up all the vodka and tucked into another spirit, meanwhile the kid was just being ignored and given the leftovers of the lucozade... she then farks off to the loo trying to hide something en routesh and leaving her kid behind and she returns as high as a fucking kite and spending the reast of the journey staring intently at her eyelids. That kid's fucked.

Spent 2 hours waiting for the practice nurse tonight to give me my hep B vaccine. Turns out she was off sick and not told anyone. No one else in the place could do it.

 

So will have to be very careful when working in cambodia with kids. Don't want to be catching anything

12mm spanners, like the tides and biros are affected by the phases of the moon: One weekend you will have four or five in your toolbox and the next weekend none.

Bus passenger today speaking to her 6 year old "sit on the seat you f^**^ing bitch"

child replied with something I could not hear

Mother "don't speak to me like that"

there really does not seem to be any hope for that child.

A great shame... He was a voice of reason amidst wilful superstition and blind acceptance of religion.

Mrs-thestag would have given significantly worse than that, sounds like you got away with it.

 

Mum got an orange allegro estate after I smashed her Marina up. After a couple of years it was replaced by a yellow TR7 and then a Metro.

 

Anyone else got a mum who loved shite British cars?

Just got home from spending £180 in Sainsburys on Christmas food and bits which made me grumpy enough as it is, I then lifted a bag of drinks from the boot only for the bottle of Old Peculier i bought to drink this evening fall through a hole in the bottom of one of their cheap, shitty carrier bags and smash on the floor.

 

Is it normal from a grown man to cry over split ale?.

Yes, emotionally and financially.

A man I really admired has sadly passed away. Christopher Hitchens R.I .P. You were a right sod, but an excellent author, and great campaigner for us atheists. You will be missed Hitch

I feel your pain. Last week I dropped a box of Peroni beers when getting them out of my car. Somehow it burst open, some rolled under mine and another car and there was a big pile of glass behind my back wheel. Had to crawl around in the wet road to sort it out.

I was really looking forward to them after 14 hours a work and very nearly shed a tear.

[trigger]

When me and Mrs Trigger first moved in with each other we rented this flat, Mrs T bought me a 15 pack of beers as a moving in present and promptly dropped the box down the whole flight of stairs to the flat. It was nearly the shortest living arrangement ever.

[whitevanman]

Trigger, any sensible grown man will cry over spilt beer....it's genetic

[maxpower]

trigger you should have shopped online, then you could have blamed the delivery driver

[M'coli]

Unless it's bud or john s..... as they're a waste of good ingredients.

 

I found out why the Tripel I brewed tastse so sweet but is utter rocket fuel this week when I put on a double batch of Grand Cru - after tipping in 2kg of sugar to the wort, I had a read of the instructions to find that it should only have been 1kg...still, it's a good job I now have 2 fermenters, as once I've got the St Peter's bottled (tomorrow or Sunday) I can sort out the Grand Cru having bought some more kits to make it a quadruple batch (each batch only makes up to 9 litres, but you lose about a litre when you bottle it because of the sediment at the bottom - double batch it and you still only lose that litre or so).

 

Just what I'm going to bottle 36 litres of 8% strength beer into is a different matter, but I'll be drinking this far into the middle of next year!

yeah if your liver doesn't run for the hills first

Speaking of which, it's only a fortnight until I get my annual two litres of "Bilkos Brew", a highly illegal home-made whiskey. The mate who makes it says the same thing to me every New Year's Eve - don't blame me if you go blind"
