Grumpy Old Man

@victor-meldrew recently changed to virgin as they're the only ones who do fibre here and the BT broadband line would have been a great speed 20 years ago. In the first 4 weeks we had 4 multi day area outages, combined with a shit router that can't even cover the house, it seems the asus router we bought, even combined with a range extender still can't, yet the stock standard sky one could. Go figure.

I find this a dilemma, part of me agrees that s frustrating however I can easily rationalise in my own head that I would now have a genuine excuse to eat the whole lot in one sitting to my wifes disgust

Why not? She seems to have been eating vinegar off a fork for the last week 😟

Tesco’s? I didn’t pick you for a masochist.
Should’ve gone to Waitrose of course.

😊 Get such pleasure reading the grumpiness here.

Nah. Too full of botoxed vegetarians buying dry-aged fillet steak for their Cockapoodles or complaining their fondue party will be ruined if they can't find the oak-aged marinated artichokes.

@victor-meldrew I knew @MajorRage had a dog, but didn't know it was a cockapoodle

I'd just like to thank whoever still held a grudge about Frank and hotlips in Mash. Peak grumpy old man material.

There's words, but none of them are comprehensible

That’s bollocks. Henry>Potter. Frank>Baldy. Trapper>BJ and that last one, true as it is, is the real indictment of the later series - when a BJ is inferior to anything, you know there is something very badly wrong in the universe.
The original cast was the best for sure, interesting to note that the replacements ended up staying longer in the series then those they replaced.
Frank was the better for sure, it wasn’t the same when they ended his thing with hot lips. -

The grumpy dad is over it😂 just something so nice about this. Warmed my stone cold heart. -
Long conversation the other week with Admiral car insurance to extend the cover on a courtesy car we've got. Turned out they didn't have the speeding points I got four years ago. Asked for code and exact date, which I didn't have, so said they'd have to ring back.
Yesterday: Hello, is this Mr. Pakman?
Yes.
It is Admiral. Before I talk to you I need to verify your security.
Well you called me, so you must know who I am. If we were to go down that route I'd need to verify you, and I haven't time for that fandango.
I understand, but will have to call back.
Is it about the penalty points?
Yes.
Well, very willing to answer your questions. Go ahead.
I'm sorry I'd have to verify you first.
Thanks, but I'm too busy now.
That's all right, we'll call another time.
Q: Am I becoming a curmudgeon?
