Instead of the cables I wanted, they'd sent a large, novelty, polkadot bowtie. No fucking joke. I swear, One Foot in the Grave isn't a sitcom, it's a fucking prophecy. 'And lo, on the 4th Sunday of lent, HillmanImp will accidentally put the tortoise in the garden fire, wearing his clowns bow tie' You have to wear that for your next collection.

Some bloke was in the paper this week who had ordered a laptop and they had sent some small thing instead. They wouldn't believe him as system showed the laptop delivered and it descended in to a Kafkaesque nightmare of trying to prove that something wasn't delivered. Made me think twice about buying big items online anyway. HillmanImp and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made me think twice about buying big items online anyway. I've read stories that this is getting more commonplace with Amazon. Anything spendy I'll use a trusted retailer, like Scan for computer equipment or Richer Sounds etc. Big corporate entities are sometimes a bit faceless.

Wack Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 There's no hope for me Saw a Mk2 MX5 parked up, been there a while , gave it a quick check, MOT until July but it's looking a bit sorry for itself, tyres all cracked, hole in the front bumper, lacquer peeling off the back bumper I give the door a knock, guy comes out, says he wants rid of it, it's got a new exhaust because some cunt cut the cat off it Won't start, flat battery,not been started for 6 months I've got one of those halo bolt air battery packs Put it on, left it for a minute, turned the key, no cranking fired straight up, ticking over like a good un The guy was more impressed with my battery pack than seeing the car running 😂 Needs 4 tyres so I ask what he wants and we agree a price Picking it up tomorrow, dome, wuvvum, MorrisItalSLX and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horriblemercedes Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Spent the evening watching TV with my dad since he's not very mobile these days (I never really watch TV but there's not a lot else he can do) We watched Doc Martin and both loved the final scene where a taxi shows up and it was a lovely Ford Granada Scorpio Remspoor and Wibble 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
