The grumpy thread

This.

 

My brother's mate (who was visually handicapped) was a fucking right pain in the arse and often had a go at people for no reason because (as he once told me himself) he knew they wouldn't have a go a back. I was more than happy to enlighten him as to what a complete 'back to front' he was and never spoke to him again.

 

Pissing me off today (and for a while now if truth be told) are women* and depression.

 

*Woman, to be more accurate.

Doesn't that just mean that both are performing according to their original design specs?

Seems he's a old boy with mobility issues -

 

And.

 

You only need to feel guilty of your response involved steps, stairs, jogging or Thora Hird.

If he's in possession of all his faculties then he merely got told where to go after making an insulting offer. I've made the odd cheeky offer, but been prepared for rebuttal, and if I found myself on the receiving end of one of your rants I might think it excessive but I'd know it was me who started it.

 

Fair enough. That makes me feel a lot better man, appreciated

Agreed with the above posts, as there is a MINORITY of disabled people who think the world should revolve around them. No one has a problem with equal rights, but the problem comes when being treated the same as everyone else means not getting your own way. Then the demands for preferential treatment come out, and then the discrimination card

[cobblers]

well you didn't know the bloke was the stig of the stairlifts at the time, but it doesn't really make any difference. If he's a ballbag, he's a ballbag, it's got nothing to do with how he handles gradients.

[Negative Creep]

We had one at work today, claiming "discrimination" because his train carriage was the furthest up the platform at the origin station. Seriously, what do these people expect? Spend a few hours decoupling the carriages or get the train driving to do a fucking three point turn? No to mention the fact that if it's the furthest away at origin, it will be the closest one at the terminus!

[Spiny Norman]

Some people are just arseholes, period.

 

If they also happen to be female, black, disabled, old or whatever and try to play the '-ism' card when they're not getting their own way just makes them even more of one IMO.

Also leaves you automatically guilty of pretty much everything that can't be blamed on the nearest HGV driver! At least in the eyes of anyone fitting any other description.

If I had any 'ism' cards to play I'd no doubt be at it constantly.

 

However I was born an able bodied white male so I pretty much won the privilege birth lottery

just get a £2 statutory credit report - it'll list all your financial dealings in the UK for a minimum six years - then send them a copy.

 

Sounds GR9. Does it have an overview of transactions, or will it just say 'FAILBANK ACCOUNT 12345666 OPEN SINCE 2002'?

Whilst most are just rhetoric, and you don't have to dig far to see the unsavoury knuckle draggers that dwell within, the scary thing is some of the BNP policies make sense.....................................

[cms206]

ah, right...no-one had said it was taxed.

 

Any news on your car break in by the way?? I guess they took my old Fuji?

 

 

Unfortunately yes; phoned insurance (Motability car so RSA) who wanted £350 quid to replace the window before they'd even look at a claim for possessions. The only thing of value they took was the camera which had been under the passenger seat.

 

Ran about with a gaffa taped window for a week whilst looking for a replacement window, blokes from a local mob came up trumps at £132 supplied and fitted. It was my birthday yesterday so birthday money was forthcoming and will provide a new camera, probably still within the £218 saved by not going to RSA for the claim.

 

On top of all that, my pal whos house I was at tried again to top herself again the following night and spent two days in hospital. Can't win, it appears.

the one from callcredit shows each month's loans, credit cards and bank account end of month stats. I'd have thought the fact you had a credit report with a credit agency is proof enough of your living here!

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

No, I have submitted a ridiculous amounts of documents (university records, electoral register presence, council tax bills) but the buggers want me to show them transactions in order to prove that I was physically present here during the whole bloody time.

quote the data protection act and pay a tenner and send a letter to the bank asking for a copy of your styatements for the time you have been here.

...& not only that, but immediately shouted down as soon as you mention that you are one of the above - ten years ago I mentioned in passing to a work colleague that I was "the most-oppressed majority of all, being single, hetro, white, indigenous and male" she jumped down my throat and said something like, "Hey, hey, hey, you can't say that, that's not on!" I pointed out that she had just proved my statement by what she had said - she didn't like that...

I thought we were allowed freedom of speech in this country? Apparently not.

[ashmicro]

I have a mate who is ex Met Police, and he said something along the lines of "what about the Straight, White, British Police Officers' Association". Of course, his Chief Super nearly had a heart attack, especially in light of the "institutional racism" tag applied to MetPol. That sort of thing is like trying to deny witchcraft.

For many years most jubilee clips have had a hexagonal head to the worm drive.Depending on the thickness of the clip these hexagonals are either 6 or 7mm but they do also have a slot for a screwdriver.Why is it when I need to use a 6mm socket to remove a clip some buffoon has mangled it out of shape by using a flat head screwdriver ? Is it not better to use a socket instead of a screwdriver that can, and usually does, slip either gouging a chunk out of your free hand or piercing some essential piece of rubber.Apparently not.

Luckily when I came across such an item today (the air intake to my lpg mixer came off) I had a screwdriver to remove it, a file to re-profile the hexagon and a socket to refit it with.If the moron who mangled the clips fitted the whole lpg system then.....oh dear.

I think I'm gonna have to give cars a miss for a couple of weeks as I thoroughly pissed off with them. This bearing job on the SD1 looks like a night mare and I spent 2 hours changing 1 disc on the 7 series yesterday. Everything seized, rounded and on incredibly tight. I went back today to do the otherone and got everything off but one bolt, which I ended up rounding . I just put it all back together in the huff. I recon I'm either gonna have to cut it off and get the rest of it out in the vice or weld a nut onto it and go from there. Everything I do just now ends up a nightmare hence I need some time awa grom them.

The next door neighbour has cut a nice border with some plants in it on the edge of his front garden- lovely. The only problem with this is that he pulled up the wooden edging that was holding back the edge of my block paved drive and dug all the footings out so he can plant some poxy bushes. The net result is now the edge of my drive is breaking up and slowly migrating into his flower beds. Its already got huge gaps between the blocks and is sinking. I'm quite pissed off about this. We get on well with the neighbours, but how do you tell them (in a nice way) they have fucked up your property and caused £££'s worth of damage WHICH YOU WANT THEM TO FUCKING FIX, PRONTO.

[Cavcraft]

By parking an Austin Maxi on it?

[Albert Ross]

Simply ask him when he's going to "make good" the damage..... then drop the bombshell that you'll get the builders in and send him the bill!!

[MrDuke]

I'm not sure how you can pull up some wooden edging without realising that you're disturbing something important... I suspect that if you went round and explained in a polite & friendly way what he'd done, he'd sheepishly agree to put it right. Best to do it before his flower border gets properly established, so he's not tempted to moan about his plants.

 

Alternatively, just spend all your leisure time for a few days sitting in a folding chair right next to the damaged part of the drive, swigging from a bottle of JD and listening to the Unknown Pleasures album very loudly, all the time gazing down at the ground and shaking your head sadly, occasionally sniffling and sobbing into a box of tissues. Should provoke an interested response.

Spent £8 yesterday on two litres of cheapo 10w40 engine oil to do an oil change on the bike. This morning I was poking around in the boot of the E3 and found one and a half gallons of Halfords 10w40 semi-synth. Which was nice, but would have been even nicer if I'd found it before I'd bought the other stuff, which will probably never get used now as the only petrol-engined vehicle in the "keeper" pile which I'd be happy to feed on 10w40 is the Innocenti, which doesn't use any significant amount of oil and isn't due an oil change for a while yet.
