The grumpy thread

[cobblers]

Oh yeah also today I saw Christmas cards in a shop. Not just a few but loads. I really fucking despair.

 

Burn it down, right now!

[meggersdog]

Left my car in a car park today (no markings as to where to park) and when I returned there was a Saab convertible parked so close I had to get in on the passenger's side and climb over.I wound the window down and spotted my white paint on the edge of the dark blue Saab's door.I wrote a note but had to move my car before opening the door and leaving the note under a wiper on the Saab.The note read :

"Thank you for denting my car

oh by the way

you can keep the paint you scraped off with the edge of your door"

 

By the way it was squeezed into such a tight spot the passenger door (if opened) must have hit the car parked the other side.

Yes you can pull into that space but if you can't open your door without whacking someone else's car then this space is not for you.Find a bigger one.

Lupo "buyer" was a timewaster. Brought his mate down tonight to collect it, his mate saw stuff he missed last night, planted seeds of doubt.

 

He started umming and ahhing, so I got his deposit out of my pocket, handed it to him and told him I'd make the decision for him. To be fair, he wouldn't take the dipper back, so at least I'm a couple of quid up. Still taxed the Scirocco today on the strength of this money coming in. Ah well.....

You should have left this information in braille down the side of his car using stones. Then let his tyres down.

I did feel like doing something like that but there was a guy sat in a car opposite watching,infact I think he went over and read the note as I left.

[sporty-shite]

Cavcraft senior will buy any old shit provided it has four wheels.

 

Harsh. But fair!

[Cavcraft]

Undeniable.

 

He does have a 1.0 litre car already though, and the Fix It Again Tomorrow we're getting at the weekend is only something like 1108cc, but the quotes for that are stupid.

[Lord Sterling]

Was ready to do some Belgan shite spotting today. Sadly though, most of the desirable stuff had been passed already due to being a passener etc... so I just dont have enough Belgan street spots to make it worthwhile. I then took a trip up to the local car museum, a fair few spots were got but not before my Nokia's battery decided to call it day, so I resorted to using this Black-Berry phone thingy borrowed to me courtesy of Fatha_Sterling (He is into all this new technology lark, I'm not - funny that as it was the other way around a few years ago) took some ok pics but then I managed to reach its memory limit.

 

Then getting back home I tried to transfer all the pics I took on the BlackBerry thing to my now charged up Nokia, of course BlackBerry being ever helpful wouldnt let me tranfer all the pics at once via Bluetooth, I had to transfer them by one by one by bluetooth then delete them, one by one off the BlackBerry. I had consulted the web about transferring pics from the BlackBerry but it seems the model I have cannot transfer pictures all at once

 

And all this new/popular technology is supposed to be great these days? Round 2 tomorrow then....

Caprimoan.

 

Baby is currently being sorted out, welded etc. Needs sills (outer) bonnet slam panel, front valance, windscreen, both side headlight bowls, bonnet, tailgate, front wings, door skins + other stuff TBC.

I've soursed everything, at some expense (obv) using either NOS collected over some years or decent quality patterns.

Everything, that is, except the nearside front headlight bowl.

They appear to be like rocking horse-shit, guarded by unicorns.

Ex-pressed Panels Ltd, remanufacture them, again at ££££ , so I phoned them, after exhausting every other possibilty.

No, they don't have any in stock, it'll have to be made to order.

When will that be?

December.

Caprimoan... nearside front headlight bowl... rocking horse-shit, guarded by unicorns...

Not wishing to start a ruck or owt, but Cappers still feature from time to time in 'short-oval full-contact motor sport'. Might be worth having a word with those of this electronic parish who partake, or have contacts*...

I've just cut my finger open while cleaning the toilet. Not sure how but I'm sure there are more hygienic things to be doing.

 

Housework: almost as dangerous as putting an opinion on Autoshite.

I think that people who have opinions should be shot.

How's the finger, Lou?

[Louise2cv]

Better thanks Dav-ed (do people call you that these days?).

 

It's me legs/hips/pelvis and overstretched belly now, but I'm trying not to complain because I've had a "symptom" free pregnancy until about 35wks in, so I'm counting myself mega lucky on many many levels. Also had my homebirth ok'd by the midwife, so we're good to go!

 

I missed how the GCSE thing went, all ok I hope.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Some twats smashed the window of my P100 this morning and lobbed a pot plant at it!!! Now I have to find a new drivers window and the interior stinks of beer. I know who did it, so i'll just have to keep an eye open for an opportunity to mow him down in the street then slowly reverse over his jerking, mangled body.

[Albert Ross]

Might have a Sierra shaped bit of glass here. Could take a bit of getting to........ about 6 hours on a dry day.....!

Ah, I'd forgotten you'd been building baby number two. All the best with that. Better time of year for it this time - no snow worries!

Farcebook/Faceache, whatever you want to call it

Me, for being weak and nosy and "needing" to see pix that people only post on there.

 

Dusting off my account and setting everything to "buy that woman a tinfoil hat RFN" so I look even more boring than I really am.

I really am at a low ebb and can't be bothered with anything anymore. Pretty much every aspect of my life has turned to 24 carat shit and I'm wondering whether there's actually a way out of this.

[vulgalour]

Housemate.

 

First, he calls me at half past ten to say he's got his car locked in on a car park that he KNOWS closes before his shift ends and he can't get it out. Then he tells me he has no money for the night bus. Off I toddle in the Princess to pick him up because hey, we all make mistakes. Then I find out I might have to take him to work (via his locked-in car) tomorrow too because the busses might not be running when he needs them to for his next shift. Then, he informs me that he's going to be late paying his half of the rent... the day before it's due. So that's three months on the trot our rent has been late, and twice because of his wages being paid weirdly. Having the comment of "it's not like you're going to work to earn money" thrown at me didn't help, it's not like I'm unwilling, I'm just unable because I can barely fucking walk right now thanks to a knee injury.

 

He's not that bad really, but right now he's a grade A onanist.

 

I'm also grumpy that I've had to turn down work that I enjoy that pays well because of said injury and might not be able to do said work for another 4 weeks yet if my knee doesn't hurry up and heal. I'm not a happy person right now, not one little bit.

Hey! You're a Shitist! We'll have none of that talk. Midas didn't give up until he drowned. I recommend getting over to my gaff and helping me resurrect a dead-ish Sierra that is gradually becoming overtaken by triffids.

Set fire to something, or break something. It doesn't help, but it's therapeutic.

Even Evil Warren has gone away on holiday. I really don't have any fight left in me.

[vulgalour]

I can empathise. Life has been pretty shitty for lots of people, myself included, and while I try my best to focus on the good stuff - buying and running a Princess, gardening, being awesome - sometimes it can get a bit much and I end up just wanting to hibernate in a room full of bacon and bean bags. Got to keep plodding on though, even when stuff gets really tiresome, because eventually it has to come right again, it has to. I refuse to believe that it's the shiny suited, orange skinned clunge monkeys that get all the breaks and that we, more normal (for shitists) and sometimes humble sorts get all the crap.

 

Soon, you will be the pigeon again. And if not soon, then eventually. Probably.
