The Doctor, SOGA and fit for purpose

[drum]

CBA reading all the posts so this may have been mentioned already.

 

The last time I bought a car at a real auction I could also buy a warranty. It was like an insurance policy. If I didn't buy the warranty I was only covered for a catastrophic failure on the way home.

 

So no, I wouldn't expect to use use soga on an ebay purchase.

Last week I got bitten by a horse fly, the bite went septic, so did my leg, then I developed full blown sepsis as the infection failed to respond to the flucloxacillin drip, and my liver and kidneys decided to have a little holiday whilst the doctors and nurses stuck needles the size of hose pipes in every vein they could.

 

Then once my kidneys and liver decided to return from their little break my body decided that high dose cephlasporins were an open invitation to develop clostridium difficile and I now have the most explosive black foul smelling diarrhoea to contend with in addition to feeling sick and being in constant pain with the leg.

 

But even that isnt as painful as reading this thread.

Are you the same Father Ted on another forum that had one of his arms mangled, and they did a collection? You don't have much luck with limbs do you!

I'm beginning to see why I simply can't be arsed anymore.

 

Buy car cheaply.

Add mark up.

Sell at profit.

 

What's the problem with that??

Someone has just hit the nail on the head. It isn't even as if it's difficult to find bargains and sell them for more. I do it every week as do others on this forum. I was thinking yesterday about cars on the cusp of classicdom and how you can buy bargains that can only rise in money. A good example is the xk8 - there's only one way they can go. I remember whEn Porsche 911s were down to 4-5k and now they are on the rise.

 

Frankly, the doctor buys tidy cars and makes them look superb. I suggest the moaners should try it one day. It isn't as easy as it looks.

Yes, I go for a pre-op on Wednesday (tomorrow) to see about getting an artificial shoulder joint, but generally the arm is a mass of titanium pins and screws. It is however 3 years on still pretty phucked and a source of almost constant nagging pain.

Bit of a bummer about that collection, the resulting basket got sent to my place of work and the bastards nicked the fruit, chocolate and other bits from the basket.

Our entire western civilisation is based on resellers purchasing stock and selling on to make a profit, why should The Doctor not be allowed to make a living just like the rest of us? I'm sure he does a hell of a lot more than valet the cars and put a nice ad up.

As you work for the NHS is it true that when you're under anaesthetic your colleagues will tie get well soon messages to your knob?

The "Doctor" moniker can be useful. When I obtained my PhD, I called in to my local to see a mate who worked there as a barman, and tell him the good news. He bought me a pint, and I sat for a while as he served other punters. When I was nearly finished, Bobby said to me "Another pint, Doctor Hill?". It was like magic - two reasonably fit birds made a beeline for me. Seems to work for Valentino Rossi too.*

No, but they do place a pair of comedy glasses on top of your knob and take a Polaroid which they then pin to the notice board in theatres with a message saying "have you seen this man?"

Or that he has shitloads of cash?

Some years ago, I saved a rare & desirable vehicle - virtually from the jaws of the crusher - with the intention of doing it up and selling it on. Still on French plates, it had been used as a marketing tool for a wine company and never UK-registered.

 

Quite how desirable it turned out to be was demonstrated by an offer of almost three times what I'd paid for it, based on photos and a description from the mate who'd helped me trailer it to storage. I had it less than a week.

 

It was restored, registered and gave the woman who bought it much pleasure. She sold it on - covering her investment plus a moderate return - for a price with which the buyer was more than happy. It was re-exported, and last I heard was in Finland.

 

Seems to be the way it works...

The Doctor is my sworn enemy and I curse his blood. He sold me a Nissan Sunny which I later found to have a welded repair to the exhaust, I wasn't very amused when I tried to change the rear box for a 4" big bore job and couldn't get the fucker off. I vow that I will combine forces with The Daleks, The Cybermen and Trading Standards that I shall unleash hell upon The Doctor and all mankind.

And the CAB were most unhelpful.
