Grumpy old buggers thread

In all of human endeavour, has there ever been anything more frustratingly moronic than the YouTube algorithm?

I've noticed similar over the past few weeks/months. My feed has become far less relivant and a large percentage of what is, has already been watched.

Being caught short, when you're warning Levis 501s?

I have Two YouTube accounts. One for the silly me and one for the slightly less silly me. Seems to work.

Be careful John. Donald Trump might start announcing he's one of your biggest fans.

Well, not grumpy really. More embarrassed. I'm in an NRL tipping contest and at the moment, my dearest sister in law is #1 and my beloved, younger sister is #2.

I'm not divulging my standing.

How many in the contest, three?
Cowboys V Sharks result was disappointing.

I'll have you know that there are eighteen participants, thanks very much!

Cows vs Sharks was disappointing, but predictable. Sharks at 'Shark Park' was always a winner.

Yep, Sharks have been dangerous all year.

A couple of days I got a phone call to say the part for my chainsaw had come in, about a month after I ordered it.

(I think I mentioned a while back the issues I have had with my "cheap" chainsaw. While I expected a lack of durability compared to my previous one that cost more than four times as much thirty years ago, I did not expect that "service parts" would become unavailable after three years. The saw actually works quite well, starts every time etc, so is satisfactory in that sense.)

Much to my surprise, I was able to order a replacement drive sprocket a month ago, and be told that it was available, but would take one or two months to get. Better than unavailable, even if it had to be paid in advance. Well, last week I got a call to say it was in, so this morning, I left on my trip to town early, and picked it up.

I have just pulled the saw apart, and got the old part off. And found that it is the wrong part. I called the store, and they called back a short while later, to say that part was unavailable. I am unsure what to do now - probably buy a "proper" saw for seven times the price! But certainly not from the same place. Unfortunately we are now facing three days of overcast, and without firewood that means no hot water!

So now I am really grumpy.
