Offered him £375 last time round, which he declined. Was going to bid tonight, but waiting to hear back from someone about another motor so bottled it.

Think that was (at least) it's third appearance, tbh was a bargain at £500, so £281 was a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegod Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Sure was a steal, my daughter loves MX5's ,she's only 16 but would have been a great Xmas surprise for her but I wasn't going to run away bidding without having seen underneath the bugger , I don't need a 2nd rusty undercarriage here as the wife's is bad enough myglaren, Cavcraft, The Moog and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtriple Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 The bloody woman I told months ago that 'I really am NOT interested' is still pestering me. Mark came up today to have a 'quiet' word with me as she collared him yesterday to sound out how I feel about her! He did tell her but he reckons she 'ain't listening' and she really isn't. Thank God she doesn't know where I live! Short of telling her to 'FUCK off!' what else can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Went to Liverpool for an interview with an agency for a specific job. All went well, hours and money sound great, that'll do me. Passed on going to another two interviews for the same job in different areas on strength of it. Today was induction day, a 30 odd mile round trip. Gets there, very nice bloke from the company involved, but the hours are totally different to what's stated (half the amount, and every Saturday in) so jibbed that idea. It was only part-time, just for a few weeks over Chrimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 2 doors up who told me to shift my car the other day, has started to put her wheelie bin in the road to stop others parking there. Bear in mine the street is quite empty. For some reason, that I can't quite put my finger on, this has made me very angry indeed. It's totally irrational but I want to launch her fucking bin through her fucking window.

Hoping you let the company bod know in no uncertain terms that their agency of choice has been utterly misrepresenting the job on offer, to make it sound significantly more appealing than it actually is. I've been snared by this before; the agency are taking a gamble on you having no choice and just having to suck it up - while they still collect their fee, and quite likely a cut of your wages too. I don't hate all agencies on principle, as I can see a need for the services they offer (and have been at both ends of the chain) - but, by cracky, they are severely overrepresented amongst the white-Audi-cabrio-on-finance brigade...

Kiltox Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Work has a bunch of shuttle buses going between offices - nice new Transit 17 seater things. Supplied by the local bus company.

paulplom Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 She's maybe forty and quite fit but a bit of an arrogant cunt and never speaks to anyone.Her boyfriend is actually okay and I've had a bit crack with him now and then. He's punching above his weight, is just a yes man and puts up with her shit, baby sitting her young kids etc.I haven't got the time of day for ignorant people. Manners and being polite cost nothing. He was telling me they've ticked on their nissan puke. 4 years old on a 5 year plan. It's obviously more prescious than everyone elses vehicles. They've just both pulled up and put the bin on the path. I'm standing at the gate smiling at them.

purplebargeken Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It's always useful to generate a perception to the wanker neighbours that you are either a bit nuts, very angry or both - for maximum leave me the fuck alone, don't interact on any level, or pester me with your shitty issues effect.

Mr Pastry Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 That wheelie bin looks like it is obstructing the public highway - you could call the law. My neighbour does the same thing, but it is an off street parking area and not on public land so I can do nothing about it. She doesn't have a car, I have never parked in her space, which is next to mine, and wouldn't do so. Yes it make me very cross..... myglaren and paulplom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richardmorris Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Complete traffic chaos ( again ) this morning as, for the third time in one seven days the m3 is totally blocked by an accident where the m3 approaches the m25 junction. It’s always the same place. I two solid miles of queueing cars cycling in to work- the m3 was solid back to fleet services which is ten miles.
