The grumpy thread

[Cavcraft]

Let it lie man! Put him on ignore if he bothers you.

 

 

Lol, that should be in the grin thread.

RIP! He made all the mr bean films as well as producer I think?

[freebird]

Yet another knob head that advertises his car as a "Robin Reliant".

Twat.

[Richard]

It's his car, he has the right to call it what he wants. Nobody died.

Quite true but he is still a twat.

Nice try.

I was hoping tick a marina off the bucket list, i bid £800 (all i've got to spend bearing in mind it'd want taxing and insurance as well) I didn't meet the reserve.....are marinas really worth this much now?

Seller said if it didn't sell it'll get bummed as a moggie minor donor......seems a shame, but hopefully it'll be back on next week for less.

Not too long ago you could have bought a good one for peanuts.

Now, like a lot of other shit, prices are getting silly.

[simmo]

Going for a jacking train, or a follow-in the full length of the straight?

 

(Sorry...)

 

Good effort but you do sound a little like one of those Indian call centres that try and pass them selves of as UK based, 

 

Ow abut that Tottinghum Hutsspar orsome soccer team

Oh no have I accidently started some football banter, don't really follow it so my only come back is going to be. So there are now two Welsh teams in the Premership Swansea and Bale, no idea if that makes any sense or not

Hahaha!!

It sort of does, except for the fact that there will be Swansea AND Cardiff there next season so the joke should have been " There are going to be three....."

I wish i didnt follow football either, it wouldnt have cost me a bloody fortune over the years to go and watch my team.

Email him and offer the £800, seems like a reasonable amount for it to me. You can only ask.

[Lord Sterling]

I domt usually wade into arguements and stuff, but....

 

What the hell has been going on? I read this site on Friday evening whilst drifting in and out of consciousness, in fact at one point whilst I was asleep, I'm sure I dreamt I was reading some of the replies and that some 'banger racers' joining up or summat, kind of felt like I was drugs or whatever. Today I have spent most of the day doing 'best man' wedding stuff and kipping in between (fasting can take a fair bit of energy/arsed out of you) now I come back and find there are no mods and now big Dave seems rather unhappy.

 

Actually, you know what, I'm not interested in what happend. Let it lie, forget about it and move on.

 

Anyhow, nowt much to report car wise. Had a fair few more nice comments from people than usual about my R-reg KV6, many seem to think its a 'classic' apart fro some little passenger twat in an A3 who said something like '100 scrap mayte', though I'm sure the driver of the A3 said 'its one of them nice Rovers' as they pulled up next to me.

 

KV6 has been ferrying the groom, some bridesmaids and latterly bride about the Dudley area but for goodness sakes don't think it was the official wedding car, it wasn't. Mustard mitt, it did feel nice to drive it on wearkng my wedding gear.

 

Whats not made me happy is the glovebox decided to break, why? Whats the point in breaking ffs? Then, as I tried to catch some shut eye in it, the passenger seat decided to go on strike just as I wanted to use it as the sun waz beating down on the drivers side. I suppose though, above all, its a Rover.

 

I have a spare glovebox in the boot so it'll be fitted tomorrow if I can be arsed. The passenger seat, well, I'm not that talented tbh. Seems to work ok when the car is fully started and in motion.

[fotorabia]

"'100 scrap mayte" minus queensbury rules? no fuggin probs..... that might have shut him up

[Angrydicky]

The Nissan Juke driving prick you had a run in before?

[Lankytim]

Don't go Rab. Just ignore the egos in here.

Don't leave. You are one of the better contributors IMO.

Just put the annoying users on ignore.

Sodding rear brake adjusters on a Mk6 Escort. No pattern parts were made apparently, so a dealer only job and sixty three effing quid from Ford. Bollocks to that, old ones thoroughly cleaned up and now working fine.

Oh, just to help* matters further, they also had two different sized rear drums and the first set of shoes I got were of course the wrong ones. 

[Richard]

I had no end of bother with the back brakes on my Escort. On one side I had to replace the adjuster, shoes (twice), stub axle (stripped threads), drum (worn into a wedge shape), wheel cylinder (destroyed when the wedge shape drum made the shoes move off the piston), wheel bearing and cable- all on a car well under 10 years old.

[Wilko220]

I hope not, else his Juke's getting a restyled bonnet courtesy of my jack handle.

 

 

It would be difficult to make it look much worse.

 

Joking aside though, sorry about your troubles. Massively frustrating I can imagine.

[oldford]

Reply from Rotherham MBC - "Yes they are correct at the tip, you can only take 3 bags of soil there every SIX MONTHS."

 

  Sod that, just dig a hole and bury it.

[vulgalour]

But what do you do with the earth you dug out of the hole?

[Albert Ross]

Wat, the nearside mirror is not a testable item. Only the offside and one other.....

[oldford]

But what do you do with the earth you dug out of the hole?

  I didn't say that it was the perfect solution, but it is the Autoshite way.

Abuse of waste disposal in my local waste centres is treated like a war crime near me. I'm sure they're good money spinners though. Irritating you can't lift the odd pc or old stereos and whatnot - are these privately owned? They're very aggressively controlled.

[warren t claim]

The best job I've ever had was collecting the waste electrical skips from the tips to get shipped to India . I made decent money out of the computers I recycled but I'm still gutted that I drove a 26 tonne wagon over a small bag that contained about a dozen Nintendo game and watches.

[Spiny Norman]

Don't go Rab. Just ignore the egos in here.

 

THIS.

There are sadly some people on here (& the internet as a whole) who seem incapable of formulating a coherent argument without being a dick about it. I've never yet met one of them who would have the balls to say the same to your face.

 

Don't let the bastards grind you down.

 

 

 

Regarding the waste thing.....

What's difficult about disposing of soil?

I'm genuinely baffled by this one, surely you just drive out to someplace where there's lots of the stuff like the countryside and just add your 3 bags to the eleventy billion tons that are already sitting there?

 

Obviously I'm missing something important ...
