The grumpy thread

[ShiteRider]

Washing machine has just died. I've three cars that want taxing next week and one that needs MOT and insurance as well.

Currently have neither a pot to piss in, nor a window to chuck it out of....

Photobucket. What a useless steaming pile of shite. I hadn't used it for a while, but it really is completely unusable now. Nothing seems to work on it at all! Any decent alternatives for just uploading shit to forums?

Photobucket has always been a mess and responsible for about 95% of the "I CAN SEND PICS IN EMAIL" adverts.

 

You don't even need an imgur account, just drag and drop and it uploads and spits out a URL. Unlimited bandwidth and totally free. Managing albums is a bit clunky but still shitloads better than boatohfuckit.

I'm using Imgur at the moment.

Potatobucket will only seem to post thumbnails and they are all the wrong size.  Unless it's just me, quite likely that.

[Angrydicky]

Thanks chaps!

[myglaren]

Sorry Cobblers, didn't see your reply, must have been on the 'net page' which I hadn't realised was there.

If you know this twat above please P.M his address to me thanks!

 

And if you happen to read this you cunt, let's see how aggressive you get when it's a bloke you're dealing with instead of trying to run women off the road!

 

P.S. please feel free to post this pic on other sites as "twat of the month"

Wouldn't it be more sensible/legal to speak to the police over this ?

Normally yes it would be, but seeing as a police car sat at the kerb watching the whole incident and did nothing then you mete out your own justice.

Rail engineering works.

Manchester to south London: National Rail Enquiries show that there's engineering works so no trains are running to where I'm going from London. Okay, I think, I'll avoid London Victoria and go to the other station via London Bridge. So, get to Euston - Tube's closed, go the long way round. Do this and get to London Bridge - Shard related refurbishment means only fast trains are stopping. Aside from the place looking modern and awful, I now have to go the long way round AGAIN to get where I'm going - this time a train and a fifteen minute wait for a twenty minute tram ride.

All that, with a wheely suitcase, another suitcase on my shoulder, and having to wait for/put up with my middle-aged, possibly OCD, paranoid mother with back problems, who won't carry any of the bags, or walk at a reasonable speed. On her period.

The whole thing took six and a half hours, if I was alone it'd be done in 4.

[SambaS]

I hate that horrible little c*nt that lives downstairs with every ounce of flesh in my body.

 

I wish I could afford to take my landlord to court over the problems I've had with them failing to do anything over the years.

 

I wish nothing less than to tie him to a [text removed] on fire, but like the Rolling Stones say: you can't always get what you want.

[Cavcraft]

You can if you pay enough money.

More a twat as he has a light out. What exactly happened?

[SambaS]

• I hate the person downstairs, and I'm totally justified in doing so.

 

He committed benefit fraud for 7 months by claiming housing benefit on the empty property while he lived elsewhere.

 

The electricity consumption will have been minimal 7 months and when he moved back 3 weeks ago will have spiked.

 

He is now living back there and the noise, and even sometimes the mere fact he is there is really pissing me off. I'm often kept awake.

 

It goes against my usual conduct, but I really want to inform the benefit fraud people.

 

He knows not to keep me awake, we've been in dispute for over this for 2 years, he deserves no more chances with anyone but my land lord isn't interested.

 

What should I do?

[RedSparrow]

You can report people anonymously for benefit fraud now. Just do it.

[SambaS]

Probably futile, the family will come up with an elaborate story to explain no doubt, he's a compulsive weirdo some of the stories he's come up with for attention that later turned out to be BS... dieing of cancer...... maybe has aids.... has got a girl pregnant..... met a guy online and was raped, was sold for sex by his family when he was 13.... Fucking freak.

 

Just to cover my back: 

 

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Phone up Old Bill with his reg number, tell them you've seen him driving in an erratic fashion, and that one of his headlights isn't working. Also tell them that you noticed him sitting in traffic snorting something off the back of his hand............

[Cavcraft]

Get a crack team of internet warlords together and LITERALLY e-mail him occasionally with a few threats. He'll know they're serious if they make a handful of 'UR MUM' jokes and leave messages like 'DNT FUK WIV ME M8' as the combination of capital letters and 'txt tlk' will worry him.

[chaseracer]

Aye. That'll learn him.

 

[autofive]

introduce him to some banger racers

 

they can bullshit him to death

EFA.

[KruJoe]

Aunt tried to get a part-ex on my late uncle's Rover 75.

 

 

Jon, is it auto or Manuel?

I have a mate possibly after one, he likes the look of the 75. He's in London though...

 

 

Auto AFAIK.

I have to handle this carefully so as not to upset other family.

 

Despite weeks of me telling him not to, matey has gone and spunked and undisclosed four-figure sum on a bloody automatic Renault. Muppet.

So he's out I'm afraid. Good luck with it.

The unique way that Royal Mail does things now is baffling.  Priced up sending two parcels as per their website.  Sorted out dimensions and weights and all the rest and it turned out the cheapest way to go about it was to send one item as a small parcel and the other as a large parcel costing me about £8.60 instead of sending them together as one parcel which would cost £8.90.  Fine, that seemed needlessly complicated but not too painful.

 

Get to the PO to find that actually they both class as large parcels and it will cost me £8 to post each parcel.  But, if I put them together they can go as this mysterious entity known as a medium parcel - which I could find no reference to on their pricing website - which makes it £8.90 combined.  Thankfully, there was some sellotape at the desk so the staff member wrapped them together with it and off they go.

 

What I don't get is why it's so complicated now.  The price hike I'm not happy with - artwork used to cost £3 to post but the same artwork now costs me £5 since the pricing structure change - but can at least be explained away as needing to make more money.  This overly complicated rule system with dimensions and weights and separate and combined and all the rest of it just makes it hard work to post things to people and puts me off even wanting to do it.

 

It's almost like Royal Mail don't even want my business.

[Cavcraft]

The Royal Mail was (if you believe the spin) losing money hand over fist. Now, almost by miracle, it's making money again and is a viable business. The latter announcement I'm sure had f*** all to do with it being put up for sale

[SambaS]

[RedSparrow]

Eh?

[SambaS]

I'm invoicing Island Records for my time spent HAVING to listen to The Wanted's song Walk Like Rihanna. Each and every time I hear it.

[RedSparrow]

I must say in my experience thick neighbours must have very small music collections as they always play one song over and over.
