Grumpy old buggers thread

[ChookD2]

Oh! How very witty!

Not working today?

Not today, or tomorrow. Didn't work yesterday either so I'm not so grumpy.

Bugger, we could have had a catch up. I have to shop tomorrow and get things organised, as I'm off to Moreton on Tuesday, for a few days.

We have been trying to find a landscaper & Brick Layer for almost 9 months now , wanting to remove all the trees & shrubs in front garden that have died or are almost dead , also lay new pavers , build a new bridge & replace arbour with couple of brick pillars. We can't even get anyone to even turn up to look at what we want to do . One guy asked me to send him all the measurements & photo's & he would send me a quote ???? how do you quote from that ? Well he didn't . I went to local Landscaping suppliers & asked them if they could recommend any & they said " Most landscapers are not taking any more work , they have so much work since the Government started giving out all these handouts since Covid ( which we did not get a cent of) & people are spending the money on everything but what it is meant for".

The last one I contacted , two weeks in a row said they were coming on the Mondays to give quote , we made sure we were home but they never turned up & never rang to say they were not coming & when I ring them they have all the excuses but none of them good ones.

Have another going to call us today I hope. We are wanting to get our drive way recoated but want to do it after the Landscapers finish .
Well that's my GRUMP for today.

It's sexism at it's worst, there's no antonym for misogyny.

[cripesamighty]

Actually, the antonym for misogyny is misandry. A gay mate of mine did a gender studies unit at my old uni, and gee, does that boy have some stories to tell about those gals! Ha ha. But yeah, you can jam the sexism whichever way it goes.

Cheap flights- several months ago post a huge lock down here. Tried North WA but those rotten sandgroppers had booked Broome outAirB&B worked at Hamilton Island SO I did it

Flights for the school holidays. Nice place booked for a over due holiday- Poor me

just rang Jet star re flights I cannot get on and at highly unlikely to be flying from Melb to QLD next week. Offered a travel voucher as the flights might fly? I feel for the poor sod on the phone so declined the offer.

****ing Covid PITA plus for everyone. Honestly I would be even happier to drive 300km west to my family

Misandry is not gender specific, it is a distain of humans in general.
