Also it has a grotty OSR wheelarch, but it's a steal at £200. I just can't have it which is fucking irritating.

Want us to make some enquires and arrange a collection time Andy??

[stillOrange]

Quite impressive mileage on that

She'll kill me. Then she'll kill all of you, just to make sure. And she's a nurse so it'll all look accidental.

 

She made me aware of these things a few times...

[stillOrange]

cms I understand the danger you're in.

 

My wife is a vet. She knows how to castrate anything from a hamster to a bull...

[EssDeeWon]

Gutted for you mate, that would end up being no more than £180 if you popped round with the reddies later and offered his beloved old 740 a loving home.

 

Happy to have a whip round.

Lady at work was looking at an expensive kitten at the vendor's house. Someone knocked on the door with a dead kitten in their hands demanding their money back 'because we got it home, it got out and got run over'

They got the answer any of us would have given, but it says something about the kind of absolute fucking dickheads we have on our midst.

You should have gouged their fucking eyes out for letting the thing get killed.

Prior to chnging jobs in January I told my new employer that I had a holiday booked.

 

Their HR department confirmed it would be honoured. Well, it apperas that it is'nt the case.

 

Sorry, but if you think I am telling a ten year old boy that there is no holiday this year because somebody is wank at their job think again.

 

I'll walk first.

[gordonbennet]

I would too Bren, there is honour at stake here, seriously, if this is the case their word means nothing as is now the norm in this increasingly strange country.

Can't you win it in a raffle?

Did you get it in writing? If so no probs. If not, it may well be a more difficult road.

 

Is your direct boss "on side"?*

 

_{other wanky bullshit buzz words available.}

[anonymous user]

I meant the Volvo not the dead kitten

 

Sorry this is being sent via stolen WiFi on a phone I can't work properly

I have kept the emails. Sorry but in this increasingly corporate world you cannot trust anybody.

 

If they had refused in the first place I would'nt have taken the job.

[MarvinsMom]

just watched a piece on channel 4 news about an old dear called olive cooke, seems she has taken her own life after spending a lifetime collecting for the poppy appeal, and having lost faith in humanity.and been hounded by cold callers etc

 

news like that just makes me so very, very sad.

[dugong]

She can't kill me. I'm part morphine and bio oil, plus I work in the media. I have no soul and, as such, cannot be killed.

Believe me, I can sympathise with the poor women.

 

You know the world's fucked when people go to dignitas even though there's nothing wrong with them - apart from the fact they've had enough.

[D Spares & Tyres]

It`s only going to get worse I`m afraid, and that depresses me. `The Idiots are Taking Over`

 

We need a cull

[Cavcraft]

Hey, Andy, any chance you can collect that Volvo for me if I pay the vendor? I can't come and collect it for 15 months though, but you're welcome to drive it round in that time.

[Inspector Morose]

18 people, tenner each.

 

Just sayin' like.

The vulgalour thread made me grumpy, ungrateful attention/sympathy seeking

[MrDuke]

Apparently there's definitely going to be a free vote in the commons wrt repealing the ban on fox-hunting. It was in the pre-election manifesto, so they've got to do it.

I would say exactly what I think about the life-forms who derive pleasure from inflicting a brutal death on other intelligent creatures, but then someone would come along to accuse me of being a misanthropist and a fascist. Which just isn't fair, as I'm not a fascist.

Had that a lot at my old place, that many fecking team leaders middle management etc..No fucker knew what was what, and many a time my days off were cancelled because some mongtard had forgot to write them down on the holiday board

Got a tenner from me waiting! She cant find ALL of us!

[cms206]

Stop it. All of you. Six Volvos is too much*

 

I've been to the pub and it's not here yet... that said she's still at work so I'm sure** it'll be fine***.

 

(* never enough)

(** not at all sure)

(*** it won't be)

I keep all e-mails concerning pay and leave I send to work. I have to as they are complete fuckwits. The "new, brilliant" annual leave recording system lost nine days of my leave. To pre-emept their fuckwittery I have always kept a manual leave record, diaries going back years, and screen prints every time I take anytime off. Things were so much easier having paper records.

[Inspector Morose]

This place is getting a bit too "top gear" for my liking. Too much opinion and not enough fact. Ho hum, that's evolution for you.

[fordperv]

^I've not been on here loads so I've missed that

 

My grump is other road users, i was heading home from work last night and a smackhead looking, mouth breathing scrotum cut straight across 2 lanes of a roundabout without warning, causing me to jam my brakes on and blast my horn or my wing would have got it, anyway the guy carried on his way without even the way of a hazard flash or a simple wave to acknowledge he was in the wrong, as we were part way down the slip road the fucker brake checked me, carried on a bit did it again, so I indicated to him to stop, pulled up along side to ask what his problem was, luckily the road was clear or I wouldnt have done it, his reply "well you were fucking beeping at me on the roundabout" what the actual fuck, i gave him a mouthful about Lane discipline and looking before you complete a manoeuvre, he came back with "I'll fucking twat you in a min" yes I now knew the measure of this guy from his actions and how he was talking, so I asked him to follow me then, he looked confused by this, so I drove nice and steady so he could follow me and he shot off at the nearest opportunity, I wasn't at all surprised to be fair.

Yup. I agree. Yet another piss-boring ALL AUDI DRIVERZ R TWTZ thread gets two pages of replies, but posts with actual old car content get sod all. Even when I included a picture of the shitest ice cream van of all time. The election has made me rather sick of uneducated opinion (and I spouted enough of it myself) so can we just enjoy cars and pretend the country isn't being run by a bunch of absolute arseholes?
