The grumpy thread

[cort16]

It's defo 2hot4scots. I need some of this.

 

[Spiny Norman]

I had that on my Facebook page last week, quite apt. At least the wind's changed direction today, last couple of days we were being treated to the delightful odour of the sewage treatment plant a few miles away.

Not nice.

[chaseracer]

OMG BangerSpeak..............

Learn the dialect. It confuses them...

 

[maxpower]

There's no such thing here, and rightly so. Jaywalking laws can go to hell. 

 

well they should use the fuckin pavements or implement the jaywalking law.

[rml2345]

Run them over and they'll soon learn.

My grump is also the persistently roasting weather as it seems to be making folk short tempered as well as too fucking hot.

[Angrydicky]

There used to be an Abbeyfield type care home for old people over the road from me. Never had any issues with it. 

A few years ago it closed and was taken over by a company who run care homes for adults with mental health issues.

Most of them seem ok, but there is one particular 'inmate' over there who screams and rants constantly through the night. Since they had double glazing installed it has generally been ok (you can still hear him but it's manageable) until last night, when it was so hot they had all the windows (10 at the front of the three storey building) open, and I didn't get to sleep until gone midnight for the racket he was making.

Also they have an employee who seems to spend the entire working day sat outside smoking and coughing his lungs up, which sounds fucking disgusting.

Is it just me or are about 85% of motorists zooming up to junctions recently, then slamming on when they're either right on the road markings or several inches over them?

Seems to be happening all the time recently, an accident waiting to happen I reckon.

Makes me wince every time it happens to me, the thought of 'stop then you cunt' and hoping they do

Just spent an hour underneath the 760 sweating like a pig and swearing like a sailor.

 

I was trying to replace the bottom arm balljoint, but the bugger is too large for the jaws of my scissor-type separator. I found my old fork-style separator and tried it with the help of a BFH, but the bastard balljoint would still not budge. How irritating !

 

Any tips before I bring out the can of petrol and matches ?

[Richard]

My usual strategy with ball joints is to remove the nut, then put it back on a few threads, lever the bottom arm down and keep some pressure on it, then hit the side of the arm (the bit that goes around the ball joint pin, can't think what you would call it) very hard with a hammer.

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

 

[Cavcraft]

If that doesn't encourage fly tipping I don't know what does!

[Richard]

Three bags you say?

Just spent a couple of hours this morning and some running round in the week to sort a mate's car out. Bought parts, bought more parts and generally pissed about. Just finishing off and got 'Ok I'll pay you next week'.

Say what? Seemingly he wants to try it out for a week first to make sure it's ok. I told him to try that with a garage next time and see what they say.

 

I smell burnt bridges.

 

[Wilko220]

Maybe he just took exception to your cuntish superiority complex.

Try discussing it with him again when your time of the month is over.

[John F]

There *is* no 'jaywalking' law. That's something you've seen on an american TV show, it doesn't exist in Britain.

Never, ever do work on friends' cars. They will expect you to do it for nothing and moan like fuck if something goes wrong.

Don't go there sister.

[Cavcraft]

It's not something I'll be repeating for him, that's for sure. I normally don't mind as I quite enjoy it but I had to get someone in to help as itw as brakes which I'm shit at and my lad is working, so I paid a neighbour to help out and I'm out of pocket for that too.

 

Oh well, if he does complain I'll get him to bring his back, take the new brake parts off it and tell him to f*ck off before walking off and leaving him stranded!

[Richard]

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

[SambaS]

I fitted some new front pads to a mates car, I generally leave brakes alone as they're a pretty key part to the safety of a car, but I did it non-the-less and all was fine.

 

A few weeks ago at midnight I got a call saying there was a bang now the brakes don't work I was a bit tense waiting for him to bring the car to me, and hoped I hadn't done something wrong but alas a rear cylinder had given up and pissed very nearly all the brake fluid out onto the wheel, inner arch and car park.

 

He took it to a garage the next day as I've never done rears before. All's well that ends well really.

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?

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
