The grumpy thread

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

PM received. Will get on the case on Fri.

[Mr Lobster]

PM received and responded. Glad to be able to assist in some small way.

 

Tea or coffee. Don't mind. Two sugars. Ta.

[Akron]

Pm me please I want to contribute to the tea fund

[254575]

PM me too....

[Inspector Morose]

Lob a pm my way would you please?

[messerschmitt owner]

et moi, aussi!

[Cheggers]

I'm getting email notifications fom Paypal now, which is marvellous, I'm insanely grateful to you... but some of us don't use our real names here! I'm having difficulty sorting out who's sending what, as I only know some of you by your Shite name. Could I be cheeky and ask that you add a note with your Shite name, then I know who you are? Thank you, again and again.

 

Mine's nothing to do with my Shite name, it's the one that begins gholds...

 

White, 1 sugar please

[eddyramrod]

PMs sent, received, replied, as appropriate.

 

In the autumn when I'll actually be on British soil again, I will be delighted to welcome you all, the kettle's always on. Be aware though: it's like Coronation Street where I'm going, so on-street is the only parking option. Might be a good idea to visit in very small parties! I don't want my new neighbours climbing on my back about filling the street up with rattly old cars, do I? Especially when I plan to do exactly that anyway, for my own use... But one or two at a time, in a series, should be fine; anyone can have a visitor. Also, if anyone needs help with a shite-collection or delivery in the area, I'll be absolutely happy to assist. I'll drive anything, anytime, almost anywhere, for anyone. One good turn, etc.

[Akron]

Thats a useful stop over when I go up to my parents in Jockland, do you do sarnies?

Then how about you arranging a Lake District shite meet, Eddy? Coniston might be an idea, especially if there's a chance that Campbell's rebuilt Bluebird (obviously named with a later Nissan in mind) will be finished & tested this year. You'll have to bring Thermos flasks for the tea & coffee though

[eddyramrod]

Akron, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes! And only the best: lean unsmoked back bacon, tomato ketchup, fresh thick white bread (toasted if preferred)... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

 

John: I can see that, say around Easter 2013? Should neatly coincide with my birthday so I'm sure we can manage something. I might just get there first and open a kitty at the local butty van...

[Lord Sterling]

A belated send from me Eddy (I work nights) some cash has been sent your way, I sent it as 'goods' rather than gift and didnt get charged, hope you wont either. Could you confirm you received the monies in case something has gone wrong, if you do get charged, let me know and I shall cover it, cheers fella, hope it helps.

 

I have sent as 'gift' several times before and only got charged probably twice or something.

[trigger]

I sent my monies over last night, As i was at work last night i asked my wife to do it over the phone, unfortunately she miss heard me and got the "F" on your email address wrong thinking i said "S" and sent it to the wrong person...

[TimothyClaypole]

Sent.

[Barry Cade]

Along these lines, can we do one of those google map things, where we all list where we are on a map and a name? Would be useful to have a national tea and tools database in case anyone hits trouble on the way home from a shonky Ebay deal and requires assistance/sustinance/a good slap?

[RedSparrow]

One member did set up such a map a few years ago - anyone still have a linky?

[eddyramrod]

can we do one of those google map things, where we all list where we are on a map and a name?

 

Actually there's an even easier way: just put an actual location under your avatar! I know we like the funny ones, I'm as guilty as anyone, but it doesn't need to be too specific. If I said "Lake District" it wouldn't be giving too much away, and would still make it relatively easy for a Shiter to find me.

 

"Hello, Eddy? I've just left a load of Lancia gears on the M6 by Shap, can you help?"

"Of course I can, be with you in an hour or so. Do I need a dustpan and brush?"

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Send us a PM eddy!

Email addy contains a reference to a French copper's hat...

[eddyramrod]

Aha, le case est solve`! Merci beaucoup monsieur!

[Parky]

Pop me a pm too please Eddie!

[trigger]

There must be a few quid in the tea room kitty by now Eddy isn't there?!

[eddyramrod]

Yes, it's looking quite lively now Trig! Thanks to all those who have contributed. I can now see a bit of breathing-space, which I couldn't before; marvellous!

 

I'm rather too happy to be in the Grump thread now!

[Barry Cade]

What would be the Autoshiters biscuit of choice? Visa CLUB? Bluebird TAXI? BMW M54321?

[Twiggy]

Think I`ve posted this before.......

[eddyramrod]

I would have thought Crunchie described all our sills...

Aero would be good for Saab owners...

Yorkie for the truck drivers, natch...

 

But really, you'll have to take a chance. I'm chocaholic, so there's no fear of running out!

[Cavcraft]

[RoadworkUK]

Eddy; sorry it's taken me a while to join in this festival of giving, I've paypalled you the equivalent of my final pint of the evening. I need to cut back anyway.

 

It's a shame you're going to end up bankrupted by a colossal tea bill, though... maybe we ought to rally round and get some sponsorship from Tetley?

[maxpower]

Grumpy for not being on here for a few days and being last as usual...... to join the tea fund membership

 

so can you pm me paypal addy
