The Grumble Thread.

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
OK, my grumble , just had a nice B'day Meal out somewhere and obviously spent quite a bit of money ( I feel ) so why is it that Restaurants feel the need to charge stupid silly money price for Coffees and Liquer Coffee's? After all I've just spent the better part of a tonner for a meal and wine and now they want to stitch me up for £6 extra a whiskey Coffee ontop?

Grumble-Grumble < I know , I know I'm getting old >

Why do people insist on ordering liquer coffees at the end of their meals? Don't they know we price them so ridiculously to discourage people from ordering them coz they are a right pain in the arsenal to make when we are busy? :)
 
Why does paypal randomly insist on only allowing payment by echeque which takes 5-7 days? I use the darn thing every week, always have the money go through without a hitch and the account is verified! Paypal is supposed to make things quicker and easier. I could literally walk the cash to it's destination more quickly!!!!!!!!

Hey Dude , If its on the Menu....;)
 
...we are stupid enough to think we should be able to order it.

Grumble. Grumble.....
 
....we are stupid enough to think we might like to buy it!

Actually.....I could do with one right now!

Think its time for me to stop drinking for another fortnight.

Grumble, Grumble......
 
Want to spend the day out on the boat...

Think its windy enough to drown me...

Second option to spend the day in my hammock....

Think with all the wind Id end up sea sick....

Desperately need to do the oil and filters on the Pug....

Hate getting covered in greasy black that wont come off. even if I could keep the bonnet up in all this wind...

Oh and its too windy to even go play with my hobo.

Suppose I will be hacked off its too hot, too dry and theres no wind in another couple of months.

Grumble, Grumble....

Sorry if I misunderstand this thread, I am a newbie here, but have been bushcrafting for forty years. Where were you? That you could catch large shrimp, salmon and herring? Also congrats to the guy with a knife who cuts the beef as good as you would get from Asda.
I am not wanting to offend anyone, but surely supermarket bought products are absolutely nothing to do with bushcraft, otherwise why not buy a Lidl barbeque, some easy light fuel, and pot noodles?

Rant over, nice that you enjoyed your time.
 
youngest has a bad cough, kept me up all night, got to that point at about 3:30 4am when i though "why go to sleep now just to get up at 6am?" so now i'm damned tired and i'm working a LATE shift in work.....

also dug out an old gw model that i really fancied having a go at around 4:30 or so, superglue has dried up so i can't stick him together....
oh yes and red undies in a washing machine full of white towels, nice surprise when i opened the washer about half an hour ago...
 
I suppose tying an umbrella on the back of your tractor wouldnt quite fix it....

Grumble, Grumble....
 
Want to go hammocking but dont fancy getting wet.

Need a bit of 2 x 4 timber, 10 ft long that I can put across my lounge so I can hang my hammock in there without worrying about the walls falling down.

B & Q stuff only goes to 8 ft.

Grumble, Grumble......
