The grumpy thread

[vulgalour]

Don't put your mate on the game or you'll be the Pimp of a limp gimp in a Jimp full of shrimps in an Imp.

 

He won't do it, he's too much of a wimp.

[messerschmitt owner]

So he's a wimp in a jimp then.

I'm not normally one to bitch about keyboard warriors but tonight quite out of the blue, during what I thought was a good natured bit of banter on the Autoshite Facebook page, someone told me that he hoped my mother dies from testicular cancer, which was nice....

 

A usual suspect?

[messerschmitt owner]

some bugger knocked down and killed one of the cats this morning

[KruJoe]

Ooh that's rough MO, sorry to hear that.

Best wishes to your family.

[Wilko220]

Horrible news - very sorry to hear that.

[RedSparrow]

I'm sorry. Poor cat.

[messerschmitt owner]

wife and daughter are distraught! I was at work and a neighbour knocked on the door to tell them.

 

 

I've to find a nice spot in the garden later.

[dollywobbler]

I hope your soil isn't too clay-laden. We lost three cats where we lived previously (one of many reasons for hating the area now). Bloody hard work burying them! Never nice and can't be fun to explain to children either.

[messerschmitt owner]

My little one has dealt with a few deaths but it was her favourite cat - the Siamese one. It's what occasionally happens when the cats live next to a road though.

 

 

Soil is not too bad - I know a nice spot at the back of the garage that is sheltered by a tree.

[SambaS]

I hate to see cats run over.... owt else I don't have a problem with but cats really effect me.

 

I found out my Mum had our perfectly healthy but a bit old cats put down when she moved house and had to retire to the walk in freezer to cry...

 

I never could understand why she didn't just give them to me, we'd had those cats since I was about five... and the other maybe ten.

[Angrydicky]

Sorry to hear that MO

[Spiny Norman]

A usual suspect?

 

I think his name has popped up in the same sentence as the words 'cock-gobbling tosser' before yes, Daniel Vn.

Added the bell end to the blocked list so it's all good.

 

 

Campbell, so sorry to hear of your kitty, must be horrible.

[Junkman]

Och, poor little kittycat. I'm so sorry.

[Cavcraft]

+15 on the cat, MO. Soz to hear about that.

 

 

Regarding that VN character I found him to be an arrogant tosspot but if you give better than you get (though obv. not suggesting you be as vile as him) he seems to back down a bit. There are far worse than him on there it has to be said.

[Lord Sterling]

Sorry to hear that Campbell. Poor little cat, hope he/she is at peace now.

[messerschmitt owner]

She's popped in the garden. Other cats are a bit lost.

[trigger]

For those of you who haven't seen this on Facebook, very sadly another old car has succumbed to the dreaded failed fuel line disaster, this time it's a Chavenne. 

 

 

[Lankytim]

Gah! A Chevanne! Why can't it have been a barried up fiesta or something??

[RedSparrow]

Bugger, there must be like 3 Chevannes left in the country.

[Junkman]

Your estimate is astonishingly accurate: http://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=chevanne

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Repairable? It's not a burnt out shell...

[trigger]

As quoted by the owner.

 

 

 

Yep got away fine, full bay gone, bonnet and scuttle warped, screen and dash gone, plastics melted onto floor etc . . It'll go in my unit for now as I have another van mid resto and an XE Powered one that's ongoing

 

So I suspect it will end up being a parts donor, he said it's not worth claiming and that it was a poor repair by the last owner with a old fuel pipe that caused it.

[George-Roper]

He said it's not worth claiming.

 

Sadly I saw that on there and he did say it was a traders policy. He would get a trade valuation (Sod all) and a hike in the next premium.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Ah well, if he can get some useful bits off it, that's something.

 

What is the point of selecting "make offer" on your eBay listings if you're going to set it to auto reject every offer below the buy if now price?

 

We live in a world full of pain.

That looks like a 106 XN to me, so if the dealer did buy it as a px for £1100, he's obviously not a very good one, low mileage status or not. I understand that there's a rule against untaxed cars on publicly accessible private grounds but I'm sure that police aren't able to take any action on trying to remove a car from there, so it wouldn't have been illegal to block in that DVLA lorry (with a roadworthy car). Then the lorry driver would have been left in a Mexican stand-off type scenario whereby he could stay put with an untaxed car or hi-ab the other one instead to get it out the way. It'd be a bit like that really shit bit at the end of the A-Team film involving the cranes and shipping containers.

My flipping murdering bastard cats managed to get a junior pigeon today with a busted wing, it was a right pitiful sight trying to limp away from them while they laughed and jabbed at it so i took it off the torturing bastards and drowned it in a bucket.

[hennabm]

To the driver of the Focus this morning on the A46 Lincoln bypass at approx 0720hrs.

OK, you wish to drive at 40mph with nothing in front of you and on a bright sunny morning, fair enough:

 

BUT - why oh why when anyone got near you to overtake did you slam on the brakes and start gesticulating madly        ???????????

 

It didn't bother me, you knobjockey, as mine is a company car and the front end isn't mine. Just try your antics next time with a 44tonner please.

 

Oh and by the way, if you are going to play the mouth breathing twunt then don't wear your workshirt with the logo on the top of the arm.......

 

Guess where I'm heading soon - yep B&Q................

Our old cat was a bastard for that. He'd climb tress, grab a small bird then keep biting it 'til it couldn't fly again. Once he'd done that he'd sort of keep poking it to make it move then he'd sort of throw it in the air and muck about with it. If you came home and there was a dead bird outside he sort of flick it round the floor then leave it.
