The grumpy thread

[freebird]

I won a mint leather interior for my Xantia on the bay for a insultingly low price. I was the only bidder. As of yet no word from the seller. I suspect I won't hear from them as they won't want to sell it to me.. I'll give it a few days and see what happens...

I won some 240z wheels the other week for a whole £40. 

Obviously,I got them way cheaper than Mr Seller wanted to sell them for so, naturally, he has decided not to give me any feedback, let alone positive, because he is a stroppy fucking tart.

The c**t.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

What you talking about FFS. You are kicking off and calling him a c**t because he hasn’t left you any feedback. BIG F**KING WOW. Have you actually done a deal and got the wheels? I presume so, otherwise you’d be calling him a c**t for that instead. So he has stuck to the deal and gone through with it.

 

The fact that he hasn’t left you any feedback makes absolutely no difference to anything, feedback is totally meaningless anyway now seeing as he could only leave you a positive. You have established a new ‘crappest whinge effort’ low point.

 

OMG I BOUGHT A PAIR OF SHOELACES FROM TIMPSONS THIS MORNING, I DID THEM UP GOOD AND TIGHT BUT THEY DIDN’T EVEN MAKE IT TO 4PM BEFORE COMING UNDONE, THE MUTHAF8CKING C##TING HAIRY B***ARD TW*TS FROM HELL, I AM GOING TO FIND OUT WHO MADE THEM AND BURN THEIR HOSE DOWN WHILE THEY ARE SLEEPING! F##KIN NAZI TW#TS etc etc.

another top class post from senor bolleaux....            

[Cavcraft]

Major LOL at Bol.

 

Talking of van mph restriction they did that where I used to work, everything was limited to 62mph to tey and make VOSA STFU. Technically speaking the only place we couldn't speed then was in motorways which we rarely used anyhow and if we had a busy day we'd just go over the speed limit everywhere else instead.

[SambaS]

My Transit Connect just touches 90mph... no idea why the clock goes to 140mph like.

 

It doesn't half get ragged though - every day I'm in it. Poor van.

 

All Pizzas Great and Small had a fleet of pink Lada Rivas with massive telephones stuck to the roof. Now that would have been an awesome job flying about Bedale backroads in a Lada flat out.

There is absolutely no need for air con in a country like the UK.

[Lacquer Peel]

My Volvo feels stuffy after driving the air conditioning equipped Czech VAG shit, and I live in the balmy* north of Scotland.

Perhaps if you wasnt so full of yourself and giving everybody a lol moment you would have figured out the whole fucking point has nothing to do with "good feeback" its to do with common courtesy. Yeah, its missing in society but a very basic acknowlegement that he wasnt dicked about by the usual e'bay muppet would have been nice, fuck me, what next, we dont use please and thank you when we go into a shop to buy something?

Its got fuck all to do with racking up points, amazingly, considering im as thick as shit, i actually get that but thanks for trying to ram the point home.

Now go and find somebody else to try and rip the piss out of, your audience awaits.

The guy has just messaged me regarding the interior and is honoring the auction. So this spat is invalid. Soz!

[John F]

That's the way I understood Freebird's original posting.

So I was surprised that bollox leapt down his throat, I mean it's not like he's personally involved or anything... is it?..... hmmmm..... FFS man bollox, it's an internet auction site. The market decided how much your wheels were worth. Leave the man some feedback.

Ace - there are still a few good ebayers then.

[Lankytim]

Hey, It's Hirst!!

[John F]

Never mind that.

 

It's fast approaching toys-out-of-the-pram o'clock, so....

Come on guys, be nice!

Electric cars....

On a recent visit to Stockton college I was walking across the visitors car park with my dog (not that the dog is in any way relevant) and turned round to find one of Tyneside Councils finest electric cars two inches away from my arse! WTF? It wasn't there a second ago! These things make no sound whatsoever. Gr9 for road safety! At least the old electric milk floats had a definite sound all of their own... Progress eh?

Maybe all electric cars should be made to carry a crate or two of empties in the back to warn other road users and pedestrians of their presence.

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

There's been talk about equipping electric vehicles with noisemakers to warn pedestrians, but since we all manage to avoid being killed by silent cyclists doing 25mph maybe we should all just be more careful instead of creating a new source of urban noise pollution. 

[Bobthebeard]

Fair point, cyclists however are less of an impact threat than a silent killer hatchback. Imagine how vigilant we all will have to be in 2023 when all cars/cycles/motorbikes etc make no noise at all! Urban noise will then be limited to the sound of pedestrians being startled silly!

Maybe evolution will take over and we will all develop electromagnetic detecting ears or something to compensate? Of course all on here will be still driving proper cars, so will be unaffected until we break down and need to walk. Lol

[Spiny Norman]

How about just not walking on the road/driving on the pavements, or is that too simple?

[Bobthebeard]

Not driving on the pavements is easy, walking across the road less so.....

that was your first mistake

[freebird]

Please shut up Freebird, you have always acted like an absolute baby and I've always dreaded seeing you replying to anything.

 Then dont read it, its that simple, isnt it?

[Bobthebeard]

that was your first mistake

Lol! Yes.... Probably!

[Bobthebeard]

Then dont read it, its that simple, isnt it?

What's the problem with Freebird? Seems ok so far!

[Junkman]

Not driving on the pavements is easy...

 

It's sometimes harder than one would think it is.

[Bobthebeard]

Not sure if this is actually the case, but now the forum is actually moderated there seems to be a bit more grump going on.... Maybe more is actually less on here? Possibly.

OMG U TIMEWAISTER

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Freeb is capable of giving as good as he gets, its not like laying into some well-meaning but clueless n00b and i'm sure he will stick around. I just found it funny that he buys a bargain set of wheels off some lad, then comes on here calling him a c**t regardless, then complains that the lad has shown a lack of courtesy! I never leave feedback any more as its meaningless, I guess I must be a massive c**t without realising it. Anyway i probably went a bit overboard so soz to all for filling the board up with shite.

We don't mind... Shite is how we roll ole buddy!

[messerschmitt owner]

My grump for today is banger rally tosspots!

 

They often take a realtively sensible decent car and fuck it up - spending tuppence hapenny on add on shit, destroying the car forever in the process then go off on a epic journey where they all have a laugh and dump a worthless blot on the landscape in some foreign country while donating 3p to charity!

 

Just like this wanker!

 

 

 

“Hysterically correct interpretation of the German WW11 fighter planeâ€Â

 

 

OK - shes not an ME109.. but she is our banger car trip down to Dubrovnik. If she makes it ( no reason to doubt she wont ) we would like to sell her to do 2 things - recoup our flight costs ( about 1000 euros ) and donate the rest to a chosen charity of the buyers choice.

 

Shes based on a 430 E class 1997

Full sports exhaust system - £ 2000 optional extra when bought I am lead to believe - beautiful V8

Full MOT

No tax - sorry thats being cash in upon our return...

Two new tyres

Most of the electrics work - cant say they all will at the end though

 

If you are interested you will need to pick her up from Dubrovnik on the 8th July. If no buyer come forward before the end - We will sell her to the locals which could be amuzing as my Croatian is limited to say the least.

 

OK - things to remember:

 

She will be in Duybrovnik - Croatia

Shes's not an ME 109

We will have had a lot of fun getting her there

 

Bid only if you are serious - or you want to give a little money to our Charity - Lewis Manning ( they have not endorsed us in any way shape or form and we will donate any money without reference to our banger - just to keep things tidy on the legal front )

Fuck off and die, you wanker! I hope your 'Messerschmitt' is shot down over Europe and preferably dropped down some ravine with you and your tosspot 'game for a laugh' mates still in it! I'd donate to your 'charity' if you did that!

[Micrashed]

 Imagine how vigilant we all will have to be in 2023 when all cars/cycles/motorbikes etc make no noise at all! 

 

 

Im deaf (well without my hearing aids in anyway) and have so far made it to the ripe old age of Miserable B'stard without getting run over when I cant hear cars or bikes. It is possible.
