Overrated stuff

[Bren]

Having spent £10 on the latest JB weld and watching it fail miserably to stick fibreglass I have concluded that it is no better than araldite.

 

Having read the package it reads like it will stick anything but this is not the case.

 

What have you bought that has not lived up to expectations?

What have you bought that has not lived up to expectations?

Nearly everything I bought before 2001, when I learned to lower my expectations.

[scaryoldcortina]

I bought a copy of Great Expectations, but found it over long and a bit boring in places.

[Royale80]

A wedding ring.

Anything on Britains got talent tonight, being forced to watch it

The cylinder head leak tester kit I purchased off E-Bay to prove there was a fault with my new Focus before it went back to the dealer again. It never even got delivered. Thanks Hardwick1982_on. Tossers.

Me too but my expectations of it were low anyway.

Shakespeare's plays. My Pa was an English teacher, and I can hear him spinning in his grave (in that I mean there's a fucking massive whirlpool in his favourite trout fishing spot on the Falloch), but honestly? I really can't stand his plays, or the way that most of them are portrayed and over-acted. It's usually contrived trumped-up bollocks.

 

I just can't warm to his characters, and usually they deserve the shit that happens to them.

Brake Bleeding kits. Bought several, never got any to fit and / or work. Always end up with a helper pumping while I get covered in fluid, mud and blood.

Watches.

 

Lots of premium watches are just tat with a name. It annoys me no end as I really like quality watches (quality anything really) and the owners of the 'brand' now just take the piss.

 

Snap-on tools. Some of them are really good but a lot is not a patch on the stuff they made/sold 20 years ago. I do not buy Snap-on anymore.

The film 'Never Ending Story'. Left the cinema deeply disappointed and in tears.

[warren t claim]

Grey Goose vodka. It doesn't get you any more pissed than Netto own brand and still gives you a bitch pain hangover.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Miliput. Fucking useless. Better off attempting to fill holes with your own excreta.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Car magazines. Full of tosh about bloody Fords and old Austin Measleys. And that there fucking Quentin Wilson blabbering about 'investments'.

[Uncle Jimmy]

Houses.

[brownnova]

Autoshite threads promising prime shite... But that are actually full of Renault Lagunas

[jakebullet]

Flying scotsman.

Brake Bleeding kits. Bought several, never got any to fit and / or work. Always end up with a helper pumping while I get covered in fluid, mud and blood.

I've tried Gunson's easibleed, it's ok if you get it working, but the blocked hose with a slit in the end just works greatly, I've found - new brakehose on the ZX? 4 pumps and it's bled.

[sheffcortinacentre]

the game of soccer.

[strangeangel]

Anything in a tube that's supposed to miraculously repair fucked exhausts.

[plasticvandan]

Sex,old fords,TV,life,arse

An afternoon with miss whiplash. It was just some woman in a neck-brace who wanted to discuss compensation.

[Urko]

Car magazines. Full of tosh about bloody Fords and old Austin Measleys. And that there fucking Quentin Wilson blabbering about 'investments'.

 

There's never been a proper replacement for Jalopy or Old and Slow Car.

[Guest Lord Sward]

Jobs; They never live up to the hype and bullshit talked about in the interview.

[johngarty]

Automatic potato peeler. Used it once. It was totally Shite.

[Jim Bell]

Powdered eggs are over rated.

You can't beat them though.

[Eddie Honda]

but the blocked hose with a slit in the end just works greatly, I've found

Yeah, those are great!

 

[puddlethumper]

Bundles ( of any variety ) are well overrated.

[smellypoo]

Popular music. I can't listen to Capital Radio for any length of time without a boiling rage building up. Which happens every f***ing weekday morning as Mrs SP insists on listening to that crap 'for the travel news'.
