Missed out on a cheap Xbox 360. I'm sure it probably didn't work, or at least that's what I think now I lost it

 

It’s OK it would break after two months anyway

[cort16]

Not much having much luck in the car department the last few days. I splashed out on a new battery and it still doesn't spin over. I can hearthe solenoid clicking but it doesn't spin so I recon the starters decided to chuck it during the 3 month lay up. I think I've got a spare though so ill need to go and dig it out. It somewhat scuppers my plan to go out for a Sunday cruise in it before the mot runs out.

Seconded. 'Oh well it's family'. Fuck right off.

[eddyramrod]

Tell them if they want to use it, they can buy it, at whatever silly sum you name. Don't offer it at less than five figures. Then you can buy my 406 and I can buy Mr Duke's Cherry, and...............

[The Moog]

Cheers chaps.... FRO...

[freebird]

Either my computer is massively shit or this forum is playing up.

[Pillock]

I'm going to have to suggest option #1 there.....

[Minimad5]

1)

What the fuck where both my uncle and dad thinking when they took the belt off my aunts fiesta ?

Neither of them know the square root of fuck all about cars, but then after changing the water pump had they only noticed "Shit we made no timing marks" ... anyway i am reliably told that they tried a number of ways, and guess what !?

THATS RIGHT ! > They didn't turn the engine over by hand, OOOH NO , smashed that key right round, apparently it made quite the racket.

Now this leaves me in a tough situation, either i step in and say i'll lend a hand, or do i let my uncle foot a bill of ass raping proportion and learn his lesson ?

 

2)

DA UNIT WIRRAL EDITION

What in the world goes through some peoples minds i will never know, give some jumped up tosser a hi-vis with "SECURITY" on the back and it all goes to his head, also take your little friend Brian with you . Cunt.

 

3)

LANDLORDIE DA UNIT

No haired, short, angry little prick - Never wants to fix anything, but will happily take our money.

We can't just piss off either, as all local places are atleast +£300 on top of what we already pay.

 

4)

Lada Riva

Twatting thing refuses to play 'ball' . so out with the complete wiring loom tomorrow. - Anyone know a great place to buy plugs, sockest and clips (along with wire) to re-make the pile of crap ?

 

Sorry for all the swearing, but i'm so close to fucking everything up and telling number 3 and 4 what we all think of them... which would result in myself, Warren T and Station loosing DA UNIT

I bought a complete Lucas Uniloom for my A40 from Premier Wiring; should be able to find that from a google search, or possibly ebay search. Find them, phone them up, and I'm quite sure they will be able to make you something suitable. Autosparks get good reviews too for the same reasons.

[M'coli]

etc..

1) Tell them, "I'll do it for half of what the best quote will be, but with no guarrantee..."

 

2) I can't help here.

 

3) Landlord knows he's cheap and so also thinks he'll get away with it...

 

4) Maplin is a good start.

[Lord Sterling]

I'm not really sure whether this is a grin or grump butnits got to go somewhere. This morning I was in bed browsing this site when I heard Ma_Sterling shriek, it was inly slight so I thought she'd just dropped something or nearly tripped up or whatever so didn't think nothing of it. Then, Sis_Sterling called me on my mobile, she was only downstairs so it was a little strange, it turns out that some bloody homing pigeon had got into the kitchen, Sis took refuge in the bathroom and Ma in the back garden. Muggins here had shoo the blasted thing out.

 

What a farce

 

Also, the Micra wouldn't start today, I was in Worcester away from the car when Ma text me to say it wasn't starting, she thought she'd flooded the engine. I arrived home and the Micra was gone so I went and hid more car bits in the loft. When Ma arrived home she'd told me about the oil light coming on, but when she finally got the car started it eventually went out. There was a very small amount of white smoke coming from the back so I'm a little worried about this as they usually are robust engines.

 

I'm guessing the Micra is just burning excess oil due to flooding?

[vulgalour]

I spend two weeks chasing up a job opportunity and trying to organise an interview. Two weeks calling back when asked, speaking to what I'm told are the relevant people and today? "Oh, yeah, all those vacancies are gone, there's nothing left". Gee thanks. Not the first time that's been thrown at me lately either. Am I unemployable or something? I can start immediately, am flexible towards hours and days, have my own transport and a wide variety of experience and am willing and able to do any job. You'd think they'd be falling over themselves to employ me but no, I'm somehow unemployable now.

 

Oh, and the Council have decided the nearly £100 debt that was cleared at least a month ago is actually still owed and their debt collection team are after me for it. This is a fucking joke.

[willswitchengage]

Morrisons "M Kitchen" stuff. It's awful.

[chaseracer]

Do you have that in writing, VA?

 

...and their debt collection team are after me for it...

 

Possibly, the left hand and the right are not communicating. Check first.

[SambaS]

The slang word "bare" fucks me off more than any other word, EVEN "pump".

 

"Very" or "a lot of". NOT. FUCKING. BARE.

Seconded, if people are going to start political arguments it's just going to turn into a pillow fight. If you want to argue with people you haven't met and never will, about shit that doesn't matter go on youtube like everyone else.

[SambaS]

Slept 2 hours and can't get back to sleep. MOT in morning grrr.

 

Gave up trying to sleep and applied for a load of jobs instead. Win.

 

Valeting caravans... why not

[fotorabia]

Having to realise that the PTSD is pretty much a lifelong ailment that i have to learn how to live with..there is no magic wand cure..u cannot change the past..my first CBT session was extremely harrowing..having to detail moments and days of extremely nasty events in my life..murder..suicide..car accidents...left my head literally spinning...but i had to obviously expell these necessary details so my therapist knows which path to take me...altho im in great comfort here in the Highlands..im pretty isolated...and not having Merc at my disposal...and trying to convince Mother to go off the beaten track so i can search for rotten shite...not much seen apart from a disintegrating Sherpa..i seem to have developed permanent separation anxiety where i really miss my sidekick and hound in NZ..my melbourne crew who are extraordinarily funny and talented...but it is quite sweet being back here in the Highlands...chatting with the lads on the Corran ferry who i went to primary school with...i feel ok for a bit....then sink for part of the day...its all waves and troughs...but i will get better..

[outlaw118]

Go Rab, having had some counselling previously (although not as hardcore as yours) I know how painful it can be to drag shit up and relive it all. But, as you say, it's the only way to get stuff out sometimes, and ultimately recover to a extent where life seems ok again.

Good luck with everything.

When you hit a trough.....

[Guest]

OK, am I being unreasonable with this eBay seller?

 

He still hasn't sent this steering wheel I bought nearly three weeks ago. I tried to collect it in person but a massive traffic jam on the M6 put paid to that. I apologised profusely and sent enough money to cover his postage and fuel costs.

 

I've been chasing him for it and received no reply. I want the bloody thing now, someone's interested in it. Can I batter him for an item not received warning to jog his memory? I'm in a much stronger position than he is.

[TimothyClaypole]

Ebay - buyers paradise, sellers nightmare.

 

At the very bottom line you can neg him if nothing else.

Oh no, I want this steering wheel. I'm seriously thinking of hitting the 'item not received' button if I don't hear from him tonight.

Sent him a message threatening an eBay chargeback. He appears to have moved from St Helen's to Staffordshire, and he's definitely around as he was sending stuff on the 5th, so I'm not accepting the 'I've just moved' excuse to be honest.

Fucking Job Centre...

 

Had my "Jobseekers" meeting Monday... Got bollocked for not doing a lot of stuff and now told i have to journey 10-12 miles to the local library to use the internet computers there as my PC won't let me on the shitty orange Direct.Gov website... No idea why the old green and purple one was decommissioned but last time i was job hunting, it was amazingly good to use. Now it's a pile of wank, and they want me to use it so they can see jobs I view and don't apply for. The main reason i don't apply for jobs on the job centre pages is because you have to ring a bloody 0845 number in the first place to then get the postal address of the spineless company who wont be named, then buy a stamp on top!

 

All this on £55 a fucking week. Great. NOT!

 

Rant

 

Fucking

 

Over.
