andy18s Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Cavcraft said: Stupid questions (already answered on advert), which I ignored, followed by '240 for car come tonight 50 miles tonight' That's a big fat no 'Please take 240' No 'Come right now manchester' Still no '240' No '220' Is this some sort of reverse bargaining style? 'Is all I have' If I said no to £240, why would I say yes to £220? 'That's all I have' You said £240 'no I say I have 240 give you 220' No now, no tomorrow, no forever 'ok' So by his logic,he's picking it up tomorrow?

Money Laundering is also illegal. Noticed a few " meal prep " places opening lately. A few have newish landrovers and other large 4x4 type vehicles favoured by the recreational drug purveyors.

taxi paul Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 A lot less than you but. When I had my colonoscopy. They removed a polyp. So sent away for tests for cancer cells, " standard practice, nothing to be concerned about. Unless it's cancer " . You dont say really. Anyway cue a couple of weeks later and gets a call to tell me the results. " would you like the results now mr nulty?". Well yes . "Ok ". Then silence for a minute, thought I was on the jungle or someother shite tv contestant thing. "Results are all clear sir. See you in five years ". Wasnt worried about the result. But when they rang me I did have my doubts. So good luck sir for next week. chodweaver and MikeR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeR Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 years ago , when soldering things together was an art , one chap had to come in extra extra early every day and switch on the solder baths ....... the rest of the day was spent parked on his arse reading the paper and doing odd jobs .. until the new boss in school shorts came around and saw him ...reading the paper and sacked him the next day no production took place .. he got his job back paulplom, clayts450, GrumpiusMaximus and 7 others 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi paul Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Grumpy because my kids have been off school the last three days. Unwell with cough and cold also occasional throwing up. So no real sleep through the night cos they wake up. They seem to be over the worse now thankfully and normal service should be resumed for school on monday. Except that in the last hour I feel ill and started sneezing. So looks like it's my turn. Great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Well I am having a really bad time ad expect sumpathy in abundance. My jeans have holes in the knees (mainly 'cos I keep falling over) and so I have had to buy new jeans. I could have gone in a shop, but I bought fro the internet instead. Do I need to say they don't fit? They are massive around my waist and tight around my upper legs. Ho hum... Still, I will wear them until such times as they learn their lesson and do fit, Jeans are for life, not just for Christmas.

No you don't, it's back in fashion again! This is useful as I've worn a set of knee holes into my nice Levi's. Mrs SiC was going to throw them out as apparently this means they are worn out, however I'm just being fashionable* and looking after the environment by continuing to get use out of them... xtriple 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split_Pin Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Sorry to have to do this, but I am really hacked the fuck off. It's more annoying because it all boils down to a little diecast car that's only a few quid. In the Shite in Miniature II thread there is always a good deal of selling and swapping going on and has been for years. It's great and is pretty much my primary source of model cars now. All carried out amongst trusted shiters and up until now everyone has been absolutely honourable with no bother. On 22nd November I posted up some Matchbox cars for sale and these were claimed on the thread. However since that time, despite my repeated but polite attempts to complete the transaction, including provision of Paypal details and promises to the contrary, the buyer has wasted my time and failed to complete the deal. Now I am stuck with models which I feel I can't sell to anyone else because others can see that they have been claimed on the thread. In isolation I wouldn't have ripped my knitting over such a small issue however I was going to sell fair few more diecast on here in January but now I feel that I can't do that anymore. The money would have been nice too. I could go to ebay but its too much hassle and of course it costs more to do it that way. This is a regular poster on here and I am surprised and now thoroughly grumpy about it all. Good day. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mally Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Understand the grump, but everyone is not as fastidious as yourself. People can be lackadaisical, forgetful, uncaring........ It's part of life. Stick them up for sale again. If nothing else it will alert people to who the non payer is. myglaren and strangeangel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clayts450 Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Pulled into Sainsbury's forecourt to feed the 820, second time since I won it. Fuel flap won't open this time, however. Had to slink off like a criminal, empty-tanked. Right faff to sort this out involving rear seat removal, but CBA today so I've sulkily parked it outside the house where it'll join the 'off the road' on-roader which is also on the naughty step due to a swollen rad hose. I also giffer-reversed the 620 into a post yesterday and damaged some bumper paintwork (and yes, the tail light was already busted before you ask).

NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 From memory there was an internal release , in the boot on the 800 , of course this was when they were new, so probably long snapped off or otherwise broken. clayts450 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the vast majority of 'shiters are lovely, honourable folks, there are people on here who will cheerfully tell you fantastical stories and waste your time where buying and selling are concerned - I don't see why you should be inconvenienced by trying to hide the identity of one of those.
