You know what really grinds my gears....

i dont think smoking helps with my spitting habbit :D

You know what really pisses me off? I just had a shittiest week, went home, my wife just told me, at the back of my house where the water mains from underground and it`s burst, water coming out and guess what?, I will be fixing that F****** pipes sorted and had to tell my neighbours to let them know they won`t be using water tomorrow morning for a few hours.

Why, I`m the only neighbour who can do the job and it`s saves money!

Even worse, I`m desperate for a drink! but I`m not, I am really determined to stay sober till March coming for the opening day and I will get rat arsed!, because, I`m on a diet and it`s going well.

stevie:frown:

Ah, that stinks stevie. :frown: Just stay warm while you're out there fixing it, and stick with your diet! Health FTW :) I hope your neighbours at least cook you a meal for your trouble. To fit your diet of course ;)

Well either the healthcare on the NHS sucks, or my local hospital does. My dad has gone for a procedure today. His appointment was 10am, but at almost 1pm, he was still waiting. That's ridiculous!:bomb

That's the normal insanity exactly as in Germany. If you have a privat health insurance, you will be treated like a king. You get appointments immediately and don't wait so long for the doctor. But if not..... I had an appointment for a surgery, years ago. I had to wait two days!!

today my gears are grinded by my tobacco habit -_- and as such by myself I'm complete crap and I need to stop this nicotine abuse.

@oryx..have you ever considered using electronic cigarretes.
they got nicotene and even make smoke but not smoke that is bad for you..they say they eliminate 95% of the harm real ciggerettes do and are legal to smoke inside.perhaps you could buy one to help you give up..

@stevie...my water pipes are broken too.i got a leak but i dont know where it is cos its small and constant but my water bill is very high.

Jas!, is it under Tar, Slabs, cement or dirt?, if it`s dirt?, then just dig up and follow the pattern but, is your house private or rent?, if it`s rent?, contact landlord or whatever you deals with.

stevie:)

... when advanced movers don't work the way they should, for some reason.

its private and i have no idea where the leak is.all i know is the water meter still ticks when all water is turned off with stop cock.it may be under a concrete bit or just plain gardern or even my house..i just dont know where to look as there are no clues like puddles or wet bits..

I managed to give up smoking last year.
I'd tried unsuccessfully to give them away before, then I realized it was every time I had alcohol the craving for a cigarette became too much and I'd cave in, so I gave up the cigs & alcohol on Jan 14th 2010.

I started drinking again 7 months later, but found I no longer had the cigarette craving, so it's been over a year now and I'm sure it's for good :D.

Actually I can't stand the smell of cigarettes now [a sure sign I've given them up for good], and find the smell objectionable if not nauseating when finding myself standing in line next to somebody who smokes, their clothes and breath reek.

Since I quit, the Government in Australia has taxed cigarettes so much in an effort to stop people smoking, they are close to Aus $20 a packet, then you have to find a place to smoke, as most places it is banned now.

Just what I like to here blackwiggle, ridding the world of the scourge that is smoking and one step closer away from climate change
But seriously though, smoking reeks to high heaven, strange to think anybody can start let alone be so difficult to stop.

What's grinding my gears at the moment was the utterly miserable quality of the last Top Gear episode. It's supposed to be a match UK vs Australia top gears, and I thought it'd be quite fun, possibillity of close challenges, a chance to actually be introduced to the Aussie hosts and some amusing moments. But no, of course not. We're going to lark around like this is some kind of sitcom, never allow any proper challenge and treat it like it's an episode of Family Guy. The humour level is low and irritating enough. I can't believe I was actually looking forward to this episode as well. Could have been excellent but instead the only thing we know for sure is that the Stig is a rally driver. :brickwall:mad::-

is larking around not humour? this is the same format they've used for the past 10 years. why are you surprised :P


Grinds my gears is that there are 2 Lotus-Renault teams in f1, neither actually are 'lotus' and both of them are a joke, :-

A few things have gotten my goat lately. And there is nothing I can do about them.

First you should know that I am a window cleaner and in this job I get no respect. Everyone I know frowns at what I do for a living.

Secondly I share my bros PS3 whch is a pain coz I have to beg him to use it. And he likes black ops which I hate.

Thirdly I got some messages from other psn users accusing me of being a second account which has pissed me right off.

And now I just got a phonecall from Andrew who I work with saying he doesn't need me this week. Well that's just lovely eh? Its Valentines in 2 weeks and I'm screwed man. :(

Ion about the second account thing there are 2 sides to that you could take it as an insult but you could also see it as a compliment, being that people think your too bloody fast not to have played the game before... I suppose if you want to be positive about it what they're really saying is that your a fast pilot and anyway who cares about the haters eh? :P

Thank you Oryx. I didn't think of it like that. I be honest and say I didn't feel so fast last night when I got lapped and couldn't complete the race. 20 laps in phantom is too hardcore for me. And for now I think rapier and flash suit me more. I learned a real lesson last night. You guys are very very fast at this game. :) hats off to you all.

Well if you haven't been there yourself, it's a bit hard to pass judgement isn't it?
Good for you blackwiggle on your accomplishment, and good luck Oryx_Crake. You can do it!
(Been ten or so years and coffee still starts a craving once in awhile. Habit and chemical combined is a very potent memory for neural receptors!!)

@ion

anyone with a brain will see you are not a fake account just by checking your game profile as you will have a normal looking one..

fake id's tend to have like zico challenge done withoing 1 minute of playing the game followed by zone zeus followed by flatland flyer and but failed to earn the 100 barrel roll trophey..if you know what i mean..


if people are giving you a hard time and being rude just block them..dont even get worked up over them..

Jas, ach!, that`s a tough one for you:blarg, what about your boyfriend or your family who work in the building trades?. You will need a topey key ( water mains) to turn the water off on the pavement or on the road then fixed the burst pipe or you will need to pay min £300 to fix it for you.

Let me know how you get on?
