The grumpy thread

[Guest]

Getting a horrible feeling my posters have been lost in the Christmas mail flood. Fingers crossed they're find and I'm not just being paranoid. I'm waiting on about 12 of them - two of which are retrogeezer's.

 

AAARGH.

 

 

I think I like the compensation more than my shit that's lost in transit.

*Sigh*

 

Another drive to London tomorrow. Not looking forward to it, but UNCLE_Sterling, Fatha_Sterling lil' bro has decided to come to London from Brussels to see a mate, I have been 'invited' down for the day.

While on the subject of post/deliveries... found a radiator for the Cortina on ebay, BIN £40 + £8.95 delivery, which was roughly half what other sellers/local radiator place was asking. I was in bit of rush when I paid for it and didn't notice I had my home address filled in until I'd finished. No problem, sent the guy a message with my work address... but my home postcode.

 

I've got visions of it been kicked around some sorting office somewhere until it disappears under a mountain of undelivered christmas presents, never to be seen again.

A fella over on UKSaabs has offered to swap a SAAB 9-5 estate AERO HOT for the Grandad in law's Skoda Fabia. Sounded a pretty good deal from my point of view but I think the fella is having second thoughts, he's being a bit wooly on details such as his address on emails and won't return calls. I'f you've changed your mind just tell me!

Tell 'em you're not well. Half the country has the Winter Shitting Virus.

Aaaaaaargh two bloody days till my house is turned into a tip with kids crap everywhere.

 

Almost makes me glad Im working a main shift on Christmas Day - I'll be away from it all from 7am until 6pm.

I found myself bidding on a C5 3.0 v6 on ebay the other night after sufferring a bout of R9UKEITIS. The guy hadn't put pictures up so the bid where low. I had a figure in mind and as soon as it got within an hour of the auction ending it shot up to some ridiculous price so I bailed out. I went into my favourites today and it's saying that it sold for half what the bid had went up to. I emailed the seller and he said some dick had bid it up then cancelled the bid at the last minute. I would have paid more than it sold for!

 

It's probably a blessing in disguise mind you.

[Cavcraft]

I'm pretty sure you can't cancel bids when there's less than few hours left to go on a listing. Maybe he had a mate schilling it up for him and it backfired or something?

[cort16]

Aye maybe. The cars now gone anyway. I was kind of hoping the sale hadn't happened and I could nip in get it for a decent price.

Too late, I'm here now, to be honest I've had a pretty good day, met up with uncle and his mate who I hadn't seen since I was about 8, we went to Central London and did a lot of touristy things whilst dressed in suit and my best Arthur Daley overcoat, as we went in my car I also had somewhere to park my car for free around various parts of Central London, also no congestion charge to pay for either. Not had much time in the way of spotting shite but haven't seen much in the way of shite except some Jag and a tatty White and Blue Ford Mustang in Acton.

 

Still here, not going home until tomorrow so might be able to capture that Mustang.

Bullseye! Couldn't agree more and would like to add 'mom' 'somester' 'movies' 'twenty twelve' and undoutably others too.

Ok, Ok, you got me there.

In all fairness I use the English pronounciation of "Free Bird" and not the wanky Americanised one of "Free Boyd" ( East coast New York) or "Freee Birrrrrrrd" (West coast California ) Im fucked if i know how the rest of the States pronounce it but I shall always do it the British way using our very best liguistic traditions or summat.

We need to keep the British end up during this onslaught of shite infesting OUR language.

december 25th as opposed to 25th december..

 

Never heard of that one before, is one more correct than the other?

[plasticvandan]

december 25th is the american way. 25th december is the British way.

 

as in 9/11 over here would be 11/9

Went out with a mate for a leisurely couple of drinks last night.

 

Didn't have that much but feel horrific today. Getting old is shit.

I am behind the anti septic pollution of our language right up to twenty twelve? how are you supposed to say it?

 

Is Nineteen Ninty Nine actually One Thousand, nine hundred and Ninety Nine or maybe MCMXCIX?

 

Away from that where in buggery bollox does sick (meaning good) come from. My kids keeps saying "that is sick" and it could be used for anything from a car crash to a bacon sandwich with HP sauce.

 

We are united on our hatred of Bieber and Jedwood though

I feel your pain which is why I strictly moderate what i drink now.

I just cant do and WILL NOT do hangovers.

Getting old is a deeply unpleasant experience.

What does it for me is when you spend three hours working on your car then spend the next three days walking around like Galen because your back is so painful you cant walk upright.

THAT is "Getting old is shit."

Also, RastaMouse on CBeebies. What the juddering fuck is that supposed to be on about.

My 130 Coupe decided to surprise me for Christmas by pissing transmission fluid on my newly painted garage floor.

The 'one thousand, nine hundred and ninety nine/1999' versus two thousand and twelve (for example) is hard to explain. I think Station once said the reason why one was right and the other was wrong, it just annoys me when I hear twenty twelve.

I don't get that 'sick' thing either, I always assumed it was Scousers who 'invented' that expression as loads of them at work say it, some of them are in to their forties too

Glad you took my post in the jest that it was meant.
