Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
... Oh and they go right along with those that open their car doors smacking yours as they go. They crap their pants when they see you sitting in your drivers seat waiting for them to explain themselves... Oh, there's a car next to mine, it doesn't matter I've just battered your door because I'm careless

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Bike off the road. The clutch has been slipping little for a while; now a lot. It makes overtaking exciting. I'm no mechanic so its with my local garage owner, Sean. New clutch on order and he thinks the friction plates may be bent (if that means anything). Won't have the bike now until next week.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Hearing the enjoyment police are banning champagne cork popping. It might hit someone who is standing in the way of a cricket ball!!!
I do dislike when H&S is highjacked by the enjoyment police. |

Motor on our swimming pool pump has burnt out. Needs a new motor.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I should have taken a photo of the green chav mobeel that parked next to me today. Why is it, you park in the furthermost space away from everyone else with no others anywhere, but when you come back to your car someone has parked next to you? Not only that, but done a reverse park so bad, it's kind of diagonal in the box, so you can't possibly open the rear door, as it's ass end is about three inches away from your petrol cap, and you have to contemplate getting in the drivers seat from the passenger door? How their passengers got out I don't know!
They obviously didn't use mirrors or camera, and this time I wasn't around to shout at the mother chuffing prat.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Getting an email on Thursday asking you to be in work this morning at 8am to take a photo - which required getting up at 5.30am and driving in instead of getting the train.
Arriving at 7.50am, calling the person who asked you to be in so early only to be told 'Oh it's OK, we took the pic on our phone just now so we don't need you'.
