The grumpy thread

[Guest Hooli]

Personal spats notwithstanding, I struggle to view any further erosion of freedom of speech on the Internet as a good thing.

 

Aye, as some intelligent chappy once said. I don't agree with you, but I agree with your right to say it.

[Cavcraft]

then I get home and decide to look at why the toilet dont flush right   ....

 

best guess to how a F in pencil got into the down pipe to the bowl ???

 

 

 

Mathematician with constipation?

[Cheggers]

 

 

Thirdly, I was rather excited by the whole thing.

 

Strange emotions

 

That's the adrenaline...perfectly natural under the circumstances

[Sheefag]

He'll work it out.

Why do we have to share the roads with morons like this?

[Pillock]

A note on their windscreen in case they've not noticed?

 

Or just stab the tyre so they've got no choice.

[myglaren]

A neighbour has a Jaguar XF with tyres nearly as bad as that.

[beko1987]

I'm. Gonna stay quiet on the tyre front as I have this on my rear...

 

 

 

I was going to fit the spare but decided the worn tyre was probably safer...

Are you Frank Spencer's dad?

[Uncle Jimmy]

Aye, as some intelligent chappy once said. I don't agree with you, but I agree with your right to say it.

As this chap said, you can call me a cunting son of a cunt and I'll uphold your right to do so.

Unsurprisingly Gumtree. Six million 'be there in five minutes with cash' from the same person who then didn't turn up. Scrap yard booked.

Billy I would rather put my dick in a blender than punt something on gumtree. If gumtree is a barometer for measuring the intelligence of somebody then we are fucked.

[Redfred]

Was supposed to be in work for an hour this morning. Went in at half 9 to do some testing, just got out at 4pm. Grr.

[MikeR]

Gumtree ... all my sellings have met with disaster ....people want everything for the sake of a few quid

 

the best being , can I drive a 40 mile return trip to drop off a 20 quid item , at such a time etc

 

No..

 

I quite unwilling to sell things now , If I dont want it I will give it away or scrap it

[AlabamaShrimp]

What are you scrapping?

 

Edit: I thought it might have been that Ka but then I've just seen how much you want for it, so it won't be

[mercrocker]

I fucking hate Gumtree.....Or, rather, the folk that use it.   Which I suppose is a large part of the human race.  

 

I don't waste my time with it, as others have found, put it on here or give it away.   However, Acquired Daughter had a habit of getting Mum to transact some of her buying and selling on Gumbleed because she is retired (and obviously has oodles of time to fritter away on fuck-wits) and can therefore wait around all day for some dick-brain to either un-deliver or un-collect something or other. 

 

Without exception, we have either received broken, filthy shit items or had a nobber play stupid cunts when they turn up to buy something they have committed to purchase.    

 

Put a stop to it now - this shit is not going on over my front door step.   Last straw was a some cow who sold AD a car-seat booster pad, failed to turn up on about three occasions and finally lobbed the filthy thing over our front fence when we were out.   It looked like a dog had whelped on it.   Disgusting bastards.

Looks like I'm going to have to withdraw the funds from my stocks and shares investment.

 

I'm blaming the fuckwits in London.

 

Second statement in a row with a negative bottom line.

A thousand pounds gone since November last year.

 

It's been slowly ticking over a treat for the last 10 years at least.

If it's a managed one the fund managers should be buying and selling behind the scenes. They'll be looking to maximise when the market picks up.

Remember it's stock market not a savings account, it will not always go up but the long term trend will still be up. Don't panic! (Captain Mainwairing)

Alternatively, "the value of your investment can go up as well as down".

brat related ?

 

 

and where is the rest of it ?

That's where I lost it.

[Guest Hooli]

I've just opened the calendar thread for the first time and realised I'm on the front cover. I should have looked earlier & ordered one.

 

Bugger.

I wrote the names of everyone I’ve unfriended onto a piece of paper, but my roommate took it and rolled it into a joint.

 

Now he’s high on my list of people I never want to see again.

Cavcraft, Tim Vine has asked you more than once and said if he catches you going through his bin again he will set the dogs on you

The scrap man turns up on time and pays cash. 

 

2/3 of the internet car buying public can't work this out. Scrap's up at the moment anyway; £180 for a 405 near me. 

[Pillock]

Has the bonus of making all the surviving examples of whatever-it-is more valuable, AND if it's a yard that at least strips off the easy parts you've put some spares into the system for others to buy. It's like a win-win-win.

Yeah, the lad I use is ace, to be fair. Got a decent price for the Fiesta and a sodding good offer for the Merc. That's not bragging about sacking useable cars off (as that's a right waste) but some people (not on here) just accelerate the whole process.

[Timewaster]

As distasteful as it is to scrap a working car, if no cars got scrapped we would be over run with the bloody things.

 

Not making new ones doesn't seem to be an option.

 

There are at least two cars in my hoard that are only there because I can't face dealing with "buyers".

Sitting there is doing them no good and the bridge awaits eventually.

Yep. Canned a useful spares donor 605 S1 and an automatic sinker Xantia using your method. Money was there within hours and I wasn't kept waiting. 

 

The cars were there, the cars were available. People didn't play the game, so the cars got binned. 

Sometimes your bank balance has to come first. 

 

I've lost so much money being a soft sentimentalist (emphasis wherever) that it strengthened my resolve never to buy a worthless heap again.
