trigger Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm going to stick my nose out here but i think they way Tanye has just behaved has made himself look like a right prat, I know it's frustrating when you post a helpful thread that gets stickied and then get someone who hasn't read it ask how to post photos but to behave like that when one person asks how to do it is just silly, maybe just pop a friendly link to it and a was all you needed to do without behaving like a pre-Madonna and causing more upset to the forum. I know I sound a bit harsh but I'm getting pissed with this behavior lately, and deleting your threads so no-one else can read them is just fucking stupid, grow up!

cms206 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Catching up on several days postings... 1) It has gone bloody silly on here. 2) A5 - that's pants, as Cher once sang; I ran up the arse of a bellend in a taxi who stopped dead halfway out of a clear junction when my last Focus wasn't even a week old... grrrr. Hateful bastards at the best of times, but the fffker put in a claim (and got) nearly ten thousand dollarpounds compo, the ambulance chasing... no. I'll stop. What I was going to say is going too far. 3) Ditto points about people having to get past older cars; strangely never had the problem in the G-reg Cavalier, but the Proton attracts all manner of mouthbreathers who seem to think I'm fair game because I'm driving a knockoff Mitsubishi with a shitload of plastic stuck to it. Whats worse is that I've had it all day today in the bus, to the point I actually stopped giving a fuck and started driving like a proper bus driver, ie indicating and pulling out. The final straw was when a huge line of cars refused to let me out of a stop and I then spent the next five miles sitting at 28mph in a 60 behind the bloody lot of them, trying to run to a timetable that was devised using a helicopter. The worst of it is? I wouldn't have held any of them up to any degree, the road was clear, sweeping bends, and I had the second fastest Dart in the garage... 57mph isn't far off 60 ffs!!! Sorry folks... had to get that off my chest... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms206 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 57mph is absolutely fugging flying for a Dennis Dart. All ours bar the two ex London wrecks have high speed diffs; the one I had today isn't the fastest, that honour goes to the newer Mini Pointer on an 04-plate which got the engine and gearbox out of the big one which went on fire - it does 61 according to the GPS doodah. Quite fast enough for an 8.8m, though handily they will also go round bends at that speed due to the fact they're like a big bloody gokart. The really, really dangerous one is a late Euro 2 example with a 6-pot ex MOD engine in it putting out slightly more than the factory intended... before it ate it's gearbox (which lasted four whole days with the new engine), it was clocked at the scary side of 70mph but it now only does 44. Gets there in about 20 seconds dead though. We've got a Mini Pointer with a 6-pot as well, but it only does about 55... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Bus things... I really need to do some bussing at some stage, I've often wondered what they're like. I know that there were various Atlanteans rebodied with single deck bodies in the 80's, they must have shifted a bit with the lower weight. I can identify many buses by sight or sound, but of course know nothing about them to drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wish I knew more about Buses now, no clue what some of the ones round here have powering them, but I do know that the X reg Darts sound incredible, and kick out so much black smoke when given some throttle. There is also a T reg one, which has a Voith gearbox in it, and it is rather fast. No contest for the B10s left though, somehow another one has recently appeared on my route, an M reg one, and they are both impressively fast. I realise this isn't a grump, but I needed somewhere to write this... Actually here is a grump!I took this photo around 25 days ago, and uploaded it onto Flickr.1980/81 Ford Escort 1.3 Ghia Hatchback. by bramm77, on FlickrChecked it on the DVLA as per, and it has been deleted, and therefore scrapped. Gutted, I was rather happy to have seen such an early MKIII as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a grump of mine; a mate got me interested, he always wanted to be a driver, I wanted to be a teacher, blah blah... he's now in his last year of teacher training with no great interest in buses, I'm daft on them and ended up driving them Actually here is a grump!I took this photo around 25 days ago, and uploaded it onto Flickr.1980/81 Ford Escort 1.3 Ghia Hatchback. by bramm77, on FlickrChecked it on the DVLA as per, and it has been deleted, and therefore scrapped.

KruJoe Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 That's sad indeed. My life must be ok if all I have to moan about is the occasional greengrocers' apostrophe or ungrammatical idiom. Don't worry Trigg, for many years I too was consistently at the bottom of the class in "The Three Rs" [3 R's?]. Whoever came up with that expression was having a laugh anyway!

Thats true, my old Citroen ZX doesn't show up (J511PTF) and never has even when I knew it was on the road. The Escort shows up on autotrader by the way.

Luxobarges_Are_Us Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 Most call centre staff deal with those as well. Been there, done that, shouted at the management. FWIW most of the monkeys there are restricted in their responses because of company policy. A third of them, admittedly are idiots. That's the whole point. Call centres are DESIGNED to be stupid. It's not the fault of the staff- I would happily pretend to be a complete idiot if I had to work there- but calling in just proliferates their existence. They, not unlike the fax machine, are an outdated technology that should have been killed in 1997 or whenever it was that dial-up internet became viable for the average household.

And some of the publicly available data is plain wrong. My motorbike comes up as a Land Rover Discovery, although we've had no issues. Re:call centres of the abroad variety. Put simply, some bright spark goes to a big firm, says I can save you £x in 6 months, if not, you don't have to pay me. Sure as shit, the 6 month savings come up before Joe Public has properly got used to it, bright spark sods off with a big Gregory. (I was there at the beginning with a B igTime firm, if you get my meaning. "This is gonna go to ratshit!" we cried, but to no avail. Turns out we were right.
