whats pissed you off today?

[8valve-craig]

So you are calling me a loser because of the lack of work?...

Only if you agree that you are giving up on your business because its moving slow, and that going on the dole is a better option.

Times are hard for a lot of people, but giving up isnt the answer.

[TeddyThom]

what is it you do?

before and after christmas is always slow no matter the trade/bussines it seems

I'm a courier. Same day/overnight, on call etc. This has been declining since around november, everyone has noticed it. It just appears that some of us have had the decline hit harder than others, I'm the third person to have seriously considered moving due to the lack of work. And I'm not the hardest hit either :/

As I said, I'm not the only one.

[turbojolt]

Ive been sleeping **** for ages with all the crap Ive been getting from work, now I'm suspended its even worse, last night i sat bolt upright and started shaking my bird to wake her up and started talking gibberish to her, apparently my eyes were all glazed over and i defiantly wasn't awake!

no wonder i keep waking up feeling so tired all the time, shame i dont sleepwalk over to my nova and get it finished :tard:

courier work is a mugs game for one reason. there are too many people at it. we approached yodel, and the rates were insulting

I did that last month after going out with work, mind you I had been drinking Peroni, Sambuca and Jack Daniels all night! lol

[mrT]

So you are calling me a loser because of the lack of work? And it's not because my phone has been ringing, I've been sitting up in the bloody office where all the work comes into for most days and not got anything!! I'm not the only one that is seriously considering moving on because it's all gone to ****. The work has been steadily declining for the past month or so... So yeah call me a loser for the company ot giving me any work...

get a job offshore, if you like hard work, not afraid of heights, are a little bit fit and know the basics on a computer then try being a NDT technician, lots of work although getting a start is a bit hard, after a year or so you can go anywhere and get decent cash, you need to pay for courses which could total 3K or so, also you do all the studying while you work, i took a job from driving a digger into security (best on nightshift) so i could study then took time off to do exams here and there, everyone said your wasting your money etc but now with a good monthly wage they say well done, you've gotta be brave and go for it, end of the day i looked at it as if its 4k down the drain which i didnt think it would be then funk it, least i tried and tbh i would not of given up anyone, sice being offshore been offered 4/5 jobs doing different jobs by various companys all with good cash so i will never be stuck again imo, but i got it because I took the plunge, do it dont look back and stay positive.. good luck

[Spudly]

If your phones not ringing then you must be doing something wrong. Dont just give up, Thats what losers do.

Read back what he said, he didnt call you a loser, he merely offered a comment to try and spur you on, its all too easy to give up and say meh, its not working.

Go out flyering, go into places like offices and such trying to rep, drum up work, it sounds stupid but it works (sometimes) hell, i saw a story on the news a couple of years back where a bloke wrote a sign saying something like 'Please give me a job' and he went out and stood on a busy intersection roundabout all day holding the sign up to passing cars, one day it was hammering it down with rain all day, yet he was still there, soaked through to the skin, a company director drove by in his car (merc or something nice) and spotted him, went back and offered him a trial in his warehouse packing!

He was on the news saying it had impressed him that despite the torrential rain, the guy hadnt gone home to sulk in front of Jermey Phayle moaning that there was no work, he went out and did something that got him noticed, you just need to find something that gets you noticed!

had he never heared of the job center? there are always warehouse jobs on there.

[Spudly]

had he never heared of the job center? there are always warehouse jobs on there.





It wasnt the point that he ended up with a warehouse job, that was just for the trail as he mightve been a complete spoon, but the guy was willing to give him a chance is the point, and i know of people that have had zero luck at the job center, ive had the misfortune to have had to go and sign on once before, was the most heart breaking thing ive ever done, was out of work for about seven months, was three months before id sunk low enough to give in and sign on!

Ill never ever sign on again!

[turbojolt]

use to hate signing on, when you would see family's there all lining up like its a family day out, scum.

[chrisd1986]

I moved 100 miles away so my partner could live with her family, whick ment giving up my jobs aswell as alot of other things but i regesterd with a agency and 2 weeks later im working 50+ hours a week on a good wage and after 13 weeks on the same job i will be taken on so all these people who claim they cant find a job just need to stop being picky and apply for any job

Nail + Hammer + Head!!!


Ive done some right crap jobs, worked in a wood yard, a supermarket, hell even a couple of years back i had to take a second job working in a takeaway i used to work in as my hours got cut to two and a half days, only just got out of there again (thankfully lol) but ill work anything to keep out of the flea pit that was our local job center!

[chrisd1986]

I went from being a supervisor running a yard with people underneath me to a bin man, ive done pizza delivery, various warehouse work manual labouer telesales and security

[mowgli]

and i bet you hated telesales the most......

there is a strange phenomenon caused by the introduction of the welfare state (what got churchill voted out after ww2)

people now sit at home unemployed, when there are jobs elsewhere.

before ww2, people would routinely travel where the work was, and if, for example, there was no work in glasgow, people moved to leicestershire to work in the coal mines, in the 20's & 30's welsh people moved to oxford to make cars.

but now, people can be unemployed in their home town, when as little as 10 miles away, there are hundreds of jobs. we have a huge warehouse place called magna park, 10 miles down the road, and it is almost completely staffed by recent eu immigrants. they do big hours to earn the money, but the local long term unemployed don't want to travel to do the work.

over the centuries, massive populations have migrated to where the work is, yet in the last 50 years, the uk, which i believe invented the dole, seems to have forgotten how to do it.

i have all the respect in the world for anyone who will do whatever it takes to find a job, but none for someone who expects the job to find them

[chrisd1986]

I drive 30 miles a day to go to work (in my nova woop) and it pisses me off when people wont travel more than 5 miles

[turbojolt]

Tbh the dole office dont care aslong as they see that you have written out 9 acts of searching for work a week. The 1st time i endend up on the dole they were helpfull and would give evelopes and stamps out even send you on a course to make yourself more employable now since cameron has taken over there is no such thing as a jobcentre its now called the department for work and pentions (look at the advisors name tag) and you have to use the online service as the job points are out of commision now so in on sence there are lazy idle w@nkers out there who cant be arsed but the goverment are maki g it harder aswell

[chrisd1986]

screw you im looking with in a 5 mile radius as im going to have to walk to work lol

Get a bus lol, if you lived were i do now 5 miles is the nearest shop lol

[turbojolt]

I'm the first one to moan about job shy lazy sods but after Jack moved to Brizzle Last June, I've struggled to even get interviews for jobs to go join him.

Its easy to say, just apply for anything but we couldnt afford for me to work in a sweet shop or something so I cant go for any old job

Ive only last week managed to get an interview for Avon & Somerset police for a Dispatcher position...the same job I've been doing for 8 years but for Dorset Police..and they are interviewing about 30 ish people and chances are I wont get it. mad. sad. Fcuking annoying. :roll::cry::mad:

[Andy]

there are still 35 jobs with in 2 miles of my house, if someone cant walk 2 miles to work i wouldnt hire them lol

when my missus & i decided to live together, we made a pact, she was living in oxford, training to be a nurse, and i was in leicestershire selling tractor bits... we both looked for work in each other's area. after 6 months, i got the job & moved. 5 years later we moved back to leics, but life has always been like that with me.

keep the faith, something will turn up, either that or you could chuck him !!! lol lol lol

[Andy]

But what i mean is if you have a house and bills that cost x pounds a month and earn less than you need? how does that work? It doesnt does it.

Jack tried to get a job in Dorset but couldnt get anything before his move date. Plus he gets paid more than me so we made a decision that I would make the sacrifice and move up there...

Finding a job is a job in itself. I have about 20 websites that I check daily...it can get quite dishearting so I'll think about your suggestion to chuck him. lol

i had the misfortune of encountering an ex coal miner. he'd never had a job from the day they shut the pit (in the 80's) they'd tried to put him on all sorts of schemes, but there was always an excuse, he'd never learnt to drive, cos he lived 100yds from the pit head, so he'd use the lack of a bus as a reason, or he hadn't got the right equipment to go on the job etc... basically, he'd not bothered at school cos he was always going down pit, and he is now retirement age, having only ever worked in one place...he & i never got on...

[chrisd1986]

Hows riding my ex going to get somone to there place of work lol

[turbojolt]

true, the temp jobs im lookig at right now would leave me with a spare 100-to-150 quid a month max! but thats only becuase my bird pays for bills aswell


and not to forget some of that 100 quid a month would more then likely go on travel etc etc.. so in reality i would have 10 odd quid after a months work :tard: i hope i get this npower job!

[turbojolt]

i dont own a push bike and whats the chances of buying a 2nd hand one! when spud is stock piling them all!!!

The only people who are better off on the dole are foreigners which is a fact, ive got 2 kids and when i wasnt working i didnt qualify for any sort of help for the rent or council tax because my partner worked 20 hours a week, now when i was driving for dominoes there was a polish manager who was getting help with his rent and council tax when he was earning 19k a year and complained that he wasnt getting it all payed wtf!!!!

Tbh shen i 1st started for this agency i was just covering fuel costs but once they started giving me full weeks it was more benefical to me, even tho being a bin man is a rubbish job (did you see what i did there) i hope i get taken on as i will be getting payed the same as my old supervisors job, do less work and no stress aswell as a pension so win win realy

Can't go on a family holiday as the week that's been booked was the week te boss said he wasn't away. Turns out he is away. As well as the week before.

Not being paid as much as I thought I was on.

Realising that despite constant promises, I haven't had a Pay rise for two years. In that time I've got more qualifications and had more responsibilities put on.

Figuring out I probably still won't have the cash to get away this year.

The starter on the cav is getting very, very, very lazy now...

[turbojolt]

cant find anywhere that sells the bolt/screw things that hold together pretty much all of the nova!

Went for an eye test and hearing test for a new job today and they wanted part of the eyetest to be unaided even though I wear lenses all the time as im blind!

soooo..had to get Jack to drive me there as they wanted lenses out for a while before the test, then the woman acted surprised when I couldnt see anything in the dam test...THATS BECAUSE IM NOT WEARING MY LENSES!!
Then to top it all off, I was allowed to wear my lenses for the last bit of the eye test but the stupid woman wouldnt give my eyes a couple of mins to get settled down so they were quite watery and a bit blury still and I still struggled
:mad:

Bloody pointless test!

ps. discrimination is a big no-no in the public sector, so there might be legal grounds if they fail you


Well it was supposed to be an official occupational health place for the Police..even though the eye test maching was from the 60's and kept breaking.

I did keep asking why they were asking for an unaided eye test when I never go anywhere without my lenses in as my eyesight is so bad but she didnt really answer me.
I did manage to pass after much squinting and possible guessing so alls well that ends well I suppose

[camels toe]

Well im broken down on the A59 just outside of york. Now waiting for a lift home and we`ll have to come get the car tomorrow.Borrowed mums mk3 astra estate to go have a look at a combo van in newcastle.Guy says its mint with no rust.Get there and its falling apart.Gets to metro centre and battery light came on so pulled into the services and the alternator pulley is actually hanging off.So got as far as fast as i could down the a1 til my lights dimmed too much.
Alternator was reconned 3 weeks ago so thats going back.
Oh and its bloody cold.

[mowgli]

didn't you tighten the pulley up??

[camels toe]

Its not the nut on the pulley thats loose,its actually come apart inside.Im guessing its got bearings inside that have shat themselves.

[mowgli]

ah.

[turbojolt]

I cleaned all my windows, drove to work and then using a brush got all the snow off my van... So it wouldn't melt and slide/fall off the road and so i could see the bonnet.

Totally agree, if I won't take less then 70 quid I just list for 70 quid. Don't get why people mess about with listings to save a couple of quid.

Ouch, i paid 190 for a set of oz's with brand new michelin pilots. You need to get yourself a nova :d

[turbojolt]

asked for a clutch cable for the nova in gsf and got a look like i asked for a teapot with a cabbage in it, it is a motor factors why is it looked at like ive asked them a stupid question!


then i asked for some 8mm fuel hose she went off and come back and some how they only stock 5 and 10mm, im not using them anymore usless shop

[Stuart]

Tyres is what wins a race.... Equally appropriate for the road, winters are ace but don't have them on our cars.
I've take our 500 out on the snow and frankly it needs to stay on the drive, pzero neros rent the best in the cold lmao.

1. have you paid anything??
2. have you received anything??

i assume the answer is no on both counts.

write to them formally pointing out that you only agreed to buy the sofa on the condition that it arrived on 7/1/13, and the salesperson agreed to this. as they have not managed to do so, they are in breach of your agreement, and you are cancelling the agreement with immediate effect. then make sure your bank cancels any payment instructions that dfs have organised. then change bank accounts & close your old one.

then buy one from a local independant store.

dfs are not in the sofa business, they are in the finance business, the sofa is a byproduct of this, almost a gift..

i have had some bother with them as my mrs ran up about £25k in consumer purchase debts, and we have a payment scheme in place which means in 3 more years, we are out of the woods... and the biggest bother we had was with the people who supplied the finance to dfs.... they have been downright insulting over the phone.. and the fecking sofa was 5" bigger than the one in the shop, she rang them up & got fobbed off with 'the one in the shop is an old model' and she believed them & i ended up cutting a massive chunk out of it to make it fit in place.. i have also made a rule with my mrs that whenever anything other than food, clothes or diesel is purchased, i need to be involved with a tape measure & a pad.. cos buying things that don't fit in the house is not a new thing with her....

Got a bit further today, finally got to speak to a dfs branch manager, complained about the 3 month wait, the arrogant sales man, the way be lied and said all sofas are UK made, the unwillingness of staff to help with a loan sofa, so he has said he will do a group wide search to see if anyone has ordered the same sofa they would have our allocation :) then we can cancel the credit agreement :)

I know it's a long shot but worth it! He seems to think it will be here on the 7th of Feb but I won't hold my breath after this shambles of a service :D

[mowgli]

so in other words, you've just been flannelled by a salesman again.

look on the internet for consumer websites & read what they have to say, cos this can't possibly be the first time this has happened

the 'special order' thing is cobblers, as is their 'sale' and i bet you didn't know, they use professional shortar$es on the ads to make the sofas look huge (potential job for dar lol)

Said I dont have it as it is a company card but I have ID etc and the online receipt printed off.
Sorry, need the card....
But I dont have the card, its not mine...
Need the card....
Dont have the card so what do we do....
Can only do it with the card....
I dont have the card, can I speak to the manager?
He cant let you have it eitber without the card.

Nowhere on the collection notes does it mention showing the card and there is apparently no way round it, I must have the card.

Started off at 7.15 in the morning when I was dropping off a new mower at my yard, pulled the pull start and really whacked my elbow and couldn't straighten it for the rest of the day.

Was taking my ride on mower to have a service and was in the diopside transit and had left my Bluetooth headset in my truck. Had to make a few calls as I was on the road most of the day. Got pulled by under cover police tugged me in a BMW and got 3 shiny new points and £60 fine :(.

Needed to fuel up the van and went to the pump with 10 miles left in the tank and realised I didn't have the key for the filler cap as it has had a new one. Had to get one ran out to me waiting for over hour and a half. I would of smashed the cap off but had no tools and didn't want to damage the neck as then it becomes expensive!

^^^ lol the head is a totally different size

[mowgli]

it isn't by much, the inlet valves are smaller but with smaller stems, the exhaust valves are the same size with smaller stems, so flow better. it might have different port shapes, but is still quite tuneable. removing the cat from my old omega 2.0 made it really pick up & go.

i just think that people slag it off for the sake of it. its been the gm main production engine for about 18 years, and there are heaps of them about, yet people will pay crazy money for redtop bits.

ive never actually driven a car with a redtop in yet i own two lol so i cant really comment. theyres loads of common problem with the ecowrecks mainly being sensor faults & exhaust studs cracking/snapping which has happened to mine. ICV is also a complete pain on mine had to be cleaned when i bought it as it would either idle at around 2k or just stall at junctions. balancer shafts are noisy and like i said it drinks fuel for a slow engine, sure if you took all the electric ****e off it and did the balancer shaft delete and treated it to some cams and head work it would be a decent engine, but for the price of cams and sorting everything its better just to break a saab and put the b204 in.

Insurance compaines-fukking scum of the earth.
Modern day,politically correct extortion.

Surely that's not legal?

Cancel DirectDebit and fcuk em lol

I've cancelled mine before and had to pay a £38 'admin fee' that was it iirc.

I would do what edd said cancel the direct debit.

Probably a traders policy, Mine is the same, After 4 months if i cancel it's payable in full.

Whats pissed me off? Coming into work with 40 items to post.

Nobody seems to be able to write their name or address with capital letters at the front of each word, so copying, fixing then pasting them is taking ages.

Its a classic policy and after 120 days you pay in full apparently.
I have never heard such sh1t,i said theres fukk all point in cancelling then is there?!

[Edd]

That's a piss take

Personally I hate all insurance companies and their staff, nothing but grief, they just try and shaft you anyway they can, oh so quick to take your money then if you need to claim it's soooo much hassle with zero cooperation
Jokers the lot of them

Thats what i mean.
Best friends upon quoting.
What my arguament is,is that why should i have to pay for a service i am no longer using?

[meritlover]

if you are short of slings. use fan belts and timing belts. get a handful of good shackles though. cross sling a belt between the OE lifting lugs and put the hoist across the middle of it.
alternatively you can buy a 'spreader bar' pretty cheaply which is like a bar with 2 hoist points and the center point can be adjusted side to side with a handle as it moves the CoG across on a piece of screwed rod.

makes it an easy one man job.

TJ. Get yourself a pallet or 2 and get the engine and box on that level and at the height it would be when in the car. Then use the engine crane to lift the car over the top and down onto it. Bolt the engine in and the jack the car up (or lift it with the engine crane) to remove the pallet.

Yeah compensations apparently going to be awarded as and when, but nobody knows for the next five years, so were locked into an unsellable house until they decide to build it, or buy the house.

Add to the fact compo is usually paid out late on, it means living through the building of the elevated line, which will no doubt take a few years at least.

That has to be the funniest thing I have heard all month! I've been told to chill before because of silly shlt like that winding me up.... There really are some complete ar$eholes around!

I also hate when the shop assistant starts talking b0llocks to the point you can't tell them what you want,
" any petrol or diesel? "
"No"
"Have you got a nectar card?"
"No, give me..."
"Do you need a bag?"
"No, give me 20 re..."
"Do you need a receipt?"
"No, would you fcuk up a minute and give me 20 Regal you dumb cnut!"

Old woman that works in the local spar does this song and dance every day of the week, I went in the other day and she asked " did you get a haircut?" she has yet to be told mind her own bastid business simply because she's old and is just trying to be friendly!

Hell is other people.

Not sure about other forecourts but I'm pretty certain Shell counter staff are on commission for shifting the crap on the counter.

Tell them you just found what you think to be a Roman Villa on your land, slap bang where the line is supposed to go. That should put a spanner in the works lol


Thats what i mean.
Best friends upon quoting.
What my arguament is,is that why should i have to pay for a service i am no longer using?
They even said if i had paid the premium in full i would have been refunded nothing.
Hang up, ring back 5 mins later and tell them a terrible thing has occurred, the car appears to have been damaged and you want to claim lol

It must be a spar thing as thats the place i am in when this happens
Also every time i go in i say "JUST those please" (usually beer or food etc)
"Any fuel?"
"NO,JUST THOSE!"
I have been in there absolutely fukking blasted before 5mins before it closes to buy fags staggering about all over,bought cigs,then said,"oh go on i'll have a small 30ml bottle of whisky to warm me up for the walk home"
"any fuel?"
"Just the whisky'll do" (in my head-"are you totally fukking retarded?!")

We was once double glazing a house up on the moors til late and my teammate pulled us into a garage just outside pickering,i bought 4 cans for the half hour drive home,he asked for one for the drive home,but for some reason cracked it still sat at the pump and swigged half of it off lol
The look on the cashiers faces was priceless,one looked in disgust while the other just laughed lol
