The grumpy thread

I said 'go on then, whats the worst that can happen' and gave him a made up address.

 

You didn't say it was the house with the blue Kia Sedona parked outside did you?

It'd be fucking ace if he rolled up outside my house. I think I'd just put superglue on the door handle, make some yellow snowballs then relentlessly pelt him. Or I'd just direct him round several roundabouts and watch as his car fell to bits or he steered off into the Co-op.

Wedge a spring against your garden gate and enjoy the delicious irony of it smacking him in the face

I've changed my mind now. He's gone from a yellow belt e-Conan to a full on ninth Dan black belt, actually calling Reg up and sounding slightly lairy. This automatically flags up PURPLE headed womb broom RATING, meaning the actual threat has moved from ELECTRONIC to VOICE ACTIVATED. Stay away, keep your doors and windows locked and most importantly seal up your letterbox. According to E. Conan (head of Secret High Intensity Threat Squad) the next stage may involve text messages or actual letters, involving threats and possibly including the words 'windmill' 'ur ded M8' 'downt fuk wiv me' and 'u av no idear who u r mesing wiv pal.

Nurse! He needs sedating again, he's dribbling like a mongtard...

Fed up with my course.

 

Keep getting shit marks with inconsistent feedback. Tried arguing the toss with several lecturers. Got nowhere, none of them are making any sense. Fucked facebook off because it was annoying me. Sick of their lame excuses, hand wringing and staring at the floor. Key comment: 'Well, it'll be much better next year.'

WHAT FUCKING GOOD IS THAT TO ME?

 

Instead, I have been doing this:

 

 

Reading Car Craft by the burner in the unit. Much better than arguing with the tedious little shits about to close ranks on you.

[whitevanman]

Jon, for the first time in my life I am doing a degree course, it's in two parts, one tutor is fantastic the other can't be arsed to help or answer any questions...I get the feeling we have a lot of the same problems.........getting angry at them achieves nothing, like it or not, they decide what passes or fails....now this is not something I would normally do, but I have decided the only way to pass, is to do it their way....so if you want to pass, sell your soul and do what they want, principles will not pay your bills

Don't worry, I'm not packing it in. I will fulfil the attendance and coursework requirements every week and then fuck off out of there, toot-suite. I'd say about two thirds of us are sick of the place anyway, for various reasons. At least I've worked full-time before, most of them are going to get a horrendous shock when August rolls around...........

 

As for the weepy human interest shit they praise to the sky..........I've got a fucking cracker lined up. They're going to be spooing off the tragedy like it jizzed on a train wreck. I've been getting bollocks grades because I've been playing by the rules everyone else ignores!

 

Don't interview your family - who gives a fuck, do it anyway! RUB ONE OUT ON THE FAMILY MISERY!

 

Not got a story? No-one'll talk to you because your course is toxic waste? WHO GIVES A FUCK - MAKE IT UP!

 

Etc, etc, you're being negative and hurtful, blah, blah, bollocks.

Should have been moccasins.

Lost about £300 over the last few days trying to be clever with currency exchanges. Serves me right I suppose.

Fucksticks!

Just think, with that money you could have flown over here, picked up a Rover 220 SLi and driven it back over to Czechastahn and still had change for a packet of fags and some super strength lager.

 

Oh well.

[RedSparrow]

^^ Can't deny that the Rover thread prompted me to post that!

[vulgalour]

Sid and Doris decided it would be a great idea to cut me up on the exit of a roundabout today, cutting it so fine that when I'd stopped a bit later I had to check they hadn't taken the plastic corner off my front bumper! What possessed them to think that was a good idea? Not sure who'd've come off worse had there been contact; me in my 14 year old Maestro or them in their similarly aged Corsa.

 

Additionally, what's with all the Audis living up to their stereotype? I've not exactly been hanging around and yet the persist in doing the stupid maneouvre and all the rest of the Audi nonsense.

[Micrashed]

I just went through a whole heap of shit on line to find that my £199 insurance quote for the Micra from Kwik Fit turned into £319 once they had added in legal protection and tax and interest fro paying monthly - Ok so still a few quid cheaper than my present insurer and so I thought fuck it Ill go for it and get another Meerkat toy... Got to the last page and it was " you need to email us scans of both sides of all drivers licences held by all drivers including the paper counterparts as well as proof of your NCD"

 

Fuck that, Mrs MS has an all paper licence dating from medieval times that even confuses young policemen now if she gets stopped, and I cant remember when I last saw my paper counterpart for my licence -last year I think when I went for security vetting -and if you dont send them they "fine you" £28 and if you still dont send them they bin your policy but wont refund anything you have paid.

 

What a fucking hassle and a half

 

Insurance companies - cunts.

[M'coli]

KwikFit lost their soul when Tom Farmer sold the company.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

On that note, I want to up my mileage limit on the insurance (I'm with Peter James, max 3k) and there are loads of classic policies stipulating that the proposer 'must have access to another vehicle for daily use'. Irrespective of whether you actually need to use a car on a daily basis- what little work I do, I do it from home, and I live in the city centre and walk to shops, banks, etc, so I rarely use the car more than about twice a week.

[richardthestag]

kwik shit were so called because they were pretty rubbish even when Uncle Tom was at the helm. "want us to check yer brakes sir?" you have got to be kidding me!

 

Now I wouldn't even trust them to fit tyres to my car.

 

Last time I made the mistake of going in, the monkey on the counter tried to tell me that tracking for my Range Rover Classic was a main stealer job. Funny how every other tyre centre can do it. Monkey even admitted that they had 4 wheel alignment setup. The only thing you can adjust on a RRC is the steering arms, if anything else shows as out of alignment means summut is bent.

 

The place was spotlessly clean though.

I'm with Peter James, no mileage limit but then I share the miles across three cars. Don't recall anything about needing access to another vehicle...

 

So the answer is to buy more cars.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Ian, are you SURE there is no mileage limit with Peter James? I am currently in no-limit mode with just the Granny, BUT my understanding is that it is conditional on having another policy for 'daily use' (again), and I don't have that since I've just gotten rid of the imported RAGE ROWER. I only want a couple more thousand to cover some long trips...

[dollywobbler]

Being in a club seems to help. FJ also gave me unlimited mileage because I was in a car club.

[Cavcraft]

Kwik Fit are, and always have been, a bunch of robbing fucking wankers. I'd sooner give up driving than give those bastards a single penny.

[AeroNautiCal]

Tom Farmer had a Fuck Wit branch in Stoke Newington, till the imbecile's set the oxy acetylene cylinders alight and the entire surrounding area was evacuated and cordoned off till the next day.

 

Major disruptions...

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

Kwik Shit are ace because they have 'free oil top-up'- you know what to do if your old shitter consumes a litre of the stuff every 800 miles.

Interesting. Is there some definition of what is considered 'club' for insurance purposes? Is AS, or Granada and Scorpio Online for that matter, a 'club', or does it have to be some uptight gathering of old middle-class chaps with a 15-strong Committee etc? If it's the latter, I'll probably end up becoming a member of the Scottish Lesbian Car Club eventhough I'm a male who's never been to Scotland.

SHIT: The way you move!

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

I am getting seriously miffed at my inability to edit my posts, anyone else suffering from the same fate?

[dollywobbler]

No, I can edit posts just fine.

 

Not sure what defines a car club. 2CVGB is a member of the FBHVC and has a committee, so it is to all intents and purposes a proper club. Not sure I'd get away with the BX Club, which is just a forum.

[autofive]

I am getting seriously miffed at my inability to edit my posts, anyone else suffering from the same fate?

 

yes

 

I cant edit, or quote

[HillmanImp]

Ian, are you SURE there is no mileage limit with Peter James?

 

When I have set up my policies, it has said limited mileage of 3,000 or unlimited. When comparing I found that they both cost the same so decided to go for the unlimited........

 

And I can edit FYI. I use Chrome.

 

Oddly I cant see many pictures on here at work using Internet Explorer. All I see is a "." instead.

[wuvvum]

Broadband is being a PITA again - I think it's the line that's the problem now though, as the phone crackles like buggery, even when I've got the router unplugged and just the corded phone plugged directly into the test socket. Sometimes it'll manage to stay connected for several hours; others it'll connect for 30 seconds then lose its ADSL sync and spend ten minutes trying to get it back. It's odd as the Talktalk engineer ran tests on the line when he came and said it was all good. Anyway I've now got a BT engineer booked for Thursday so will have to see.

[vulgalour]

When I signed up the Princess for a classic policy I was asked "Are you a member of any clubs or online forums?" to which I obviously answered in the affirmative. I think they ask so that they know you have the dedication to your cherished vehicle and the ability to obtain parts, though it was a fat lot of good in my instance since they wouldn't pay out for the spares vehicle that would have put mine right a lot quicker so they can fall in an oubliette for all I care.
