Just realised what a sad [zb] I am :smiley: .sat here on New years eve, on a forum talking to other sad [zb] of the trucking fraternity. But this is why.
I have been to numerous N.Y eve parties in the past, but have not bothered for last 10yrs or so.

It’s not that am anti social, could not be more wrong, I love a night out a laugh and a few pints.
I’ve had a good few nights out over the hols, both with mates and the Mrs, a right good laugh on each one.

It’s just that I hate New years eve.
I mean you go out and you can not get served at the bar for these [zb] on their one and only …annual night out. :unamused: as my mate says ‘‘you can’t see the bar for non drinkers’’. :smiling_imp:

When you do manage to get ■■■■■■■ to forget how bad the night is, next you are the victim of enforced fun, ie.having to form a circle holding hands with some ■■■■■■ you hate on one side, and a fat slag with a mini skirt on the other, singing a stupid [zb] song that you have not got a [zb] clue what it’s about, and only know half the words…I mean , who the [zb] was or is Old Lang Syne ffs?

Then when you have endured that, you get these [zb] s (who never usually speak to you any other time) wishing you Happy new year, then the old fat slag with a mini skirt who you sang that song beside, (who has bad breath) wanting to snog your [zb] ing face off. :smiling_imp:

Then when it is all over you phone for a taxi, you wait outside [zb] freezing for an hour , and it costs you half a weeks wage, just to get home to the wife who won’t speak to you, because she smells the cheap nasty Sunday market perfume on you after being a victim of the fat slag. so she gets the wrong idea, and you end up kipping on the sofa with the [zb] dog licking your face all night.

To cap it all you wake up with the hangover from hell in the morning, and realise you are another year older. :cry:

That is why I am sat on here getting ready to watch Paul Weller on Jools Holland’s show with my lovely Mrs drinking a glass of wine and me on the John Smiths. :sunglasses:
Am I on my own here, in this way of thinking■■?
Happy new year. :laughing:

Oh dear, what a dreary post. :frowning:

It sounds to me like you need to get yourself on the agency, robroy :smiley: . Being one myself I was out enjoying myself spending some of the £50k I’ve earnt this year, sampling all the quality liquors, spirits, beers and fine wines and generally having a bloody good time. I am genuinely saddened to learn that a taxi home costs you half your tramper’s wage. Personally for me the cost never even registered on my radar; we even left the meter running while we stopped off for pizza and kebabs and I was feeling in such a chipper mood that I gave the driver a tenner tip as well - mere pocket change for me really. :slight_smile:

Maybe your New Year Resolution for 2016 is to stop spending all your time whinging about wages and conditions on internet forums and actually put your arse into gear and make something of your life instead of being a £500 a week tramper ■■■■■? :grimacing: Then come next New Year’s Eve you too will be able to go out partying, enjoying the fruits of your labour instead of being sat in your council house watching dreary TV programmes whilst drinking John Smiths which was on offer at Tesco because it was all you could afford :frowning: . And face it, paying some guy who has history of poor performance £25 a year to sort it all for you is never going work, chap.

Well, here’s to 2016, looking good for another £50k+er! :grimacing: Already booked up from tonight and into next week :slight_smile: .

Carl mate, tut tut :unamused: I thought we had a truce, but you just won’t let it go will you. :smiley:

You really must take more time and actually read posts before you jump and attempt to have a go.

It was not for financial reasons that I stayed in, it was…tell you what mate, have another look.

Besides, are you really so insecure that you feel the need to come on and boast about your earnings, are you aware of the phrase ‘Nouveau riche’?.. Google it, .it’ s to do with vulgarity and bad taste. :bulb:

I have said to you on here many times, if you are on good money, good on ya, I’m pleased for you, seriously, but it’s a bit crass and a tad undignified to come on here bragging is it not.

Love the Council house reference btw :smiley: but snobbery is never attractive among the working classes.

I would love to know the history between you and Mr Tozer as you take every opportunity to stick the knife in at him
It appears bitterness is yet another of your negative social traits, there are people out there that can offer help you know, …quite expensive I have heard, but nothing to a man of your financial standing, as I am sure you have mentioned before on here how well paid you are! :laughing:

Anyway Carl, sorry you always feel the need to have a pop at me, it surely can not be jealousy being as you are so well off, and I am a, wait let me yry and remember…Full time, council house dwelling, failed owner driver, good enough only to live in a tin box while boasting about doing Euro :laughing: …think I got them all just remind me if I missed any of your past cracks aimed at me. :laughing: :laughing:

So anyway Carl, Happy new year mate, I’ll keep things dignified (well on my part anyway :bulb: ) no hard feelings, believe me mate it would take a better man than you to have any effect, many have tried and failed.
Have a lovely day. :wink:

the £50k I’ve earnt this year

got to admit my earnings don’t quite match that… BUT

i get up when I feel like it and go to bed when I feel the need
I drink without worrying about being over the limits the following day
I do approx 70 overnights a year, always in a foreign country
I have no worries about tachos or WTD.
I’m booked up for most of January, all of February and part of March ,also some of September and October.

yes it’s good being retired!

Just read the few posts before mine Carl.
Hasn’t gone to plan mate eh, in terms of perceived reaction. :laughing: :laughing:

Yeh, he’s got mixed up because when he comes on as his alter ego/nom de plume ‘Truckbling’, he makes a Grand a week… quote; ’ for doing nothing and lying in bed all day’ so it should have read £52k :unamused: :laughing: :laughing:

Apart from that does ANYBODY really care :neutral_face:

Was driving back from a friends (I was on the Pepsi Max all night, living the dream!), just about to turn into my road when I saw a fridge coming back from Skegness. Must ■■■■ having to work NYE.

I believe Macassar oil is still highly regarded for smoothing down ruffled feathers. :sunglasses:

I too stayed in and watched Jools Holland but we did have most of the family there as well. Never been a Weller fan but did enjoy watching him last night, he was on form as was Jeff Beck. there was some good music on, mind a couple of glasses of white and beer did help.
As for Carls post I got as far £50 grand and stopped reading.

Went perfectly to plan, exactly as expected :smiley: . Just thought your dreary post provided the perfect opportunity to rebalance the latest round of anti-agency ■■■■■■■■ on all the other threads. Seems to have worked! :grimacing: Not sure about that ‘truckbling’ character though. I’ve just had my calculator out and discovered that I’d have to work more than 4 days a week to do £53k and that’s too much like hard work for me I’m afraid :frowning: . But wait, didn’t some self-employed guy post a photo of his business bank statement a while back showing over a grand a week or am I getting myself confuzzled? :confused: I’m just typing £1000 in my calculator here and multiplying it by 52 weeks and guess what! It comes out at £52k ! :astonished: :open_mouth:

But anyway, enough of that. What New Year Resolutions have you made robroy for 2016? Are you going to formulate a plan to start making some decent money at driving lorries or should we expect the continuation of the weekly “conditions for truckers are ■■■■, we need to do something”, “we must stick together and strike for better conditions”, “I only got 2 nights out and 70hrs this week, how the hell am I going to pay my mortgage??!!” threads? :frowning:

Carl mate, you’re getting a bit tiresome now bud, I’m feeling a bit stalked, what with you following and pm ing me. :laughing:

Don’t let facts get in the way of your fascination with me, I don’t do 70 hrs, you must know that, as you always follow my posts with enthusiasm.
You should know that I cut back to 4 days last yr as I was a bit sick of the job after so many years…, and why would I be paying a mortgage,… you keep reminding me in an unsucessful attempt to annoy me, that I am a lowly council house tenant.

(Neither have I ever advocated strikes, so do try a bit harder to get things right mate eh.)

So no new years resos, or plans to join your rat race.
Certainly no plans to try and emulate you by coming on here and embarassingly make a prick of myself by boasting of eanings, as you have that particular branch of expertise boxed off. :wink: :wink:

You had to use a calculator to work that out?

Yes, because the simpletons on here are unable to put the pieces of the jigsaw together without it being spelt out for them.

Your being a tad rash calling other people simpletons a mere hour after admitting to using a calculator to work out 1000 x 52
