Given that one of the key connections is to fresh air, it's basically a paperweight.  I'm not opening it up at this stage as that's not happening until after any dispute resolution options have been thoroughly exhausted.

Ordering this chunk of crap was a long shot already having thoroughly exhausted any hope of finding spares from the manufacturer.  Their approach to repairs is very much "if it's under warranty, send it back we'll send you a new unit..." Rather than providing any component level support.

It's the way of the future. That's how we got our expensive juicer. It belonged to a couple we know and just stopped working. They phoned the service line and a new one was sent straight out without any return being necessary. The broken one was handed to me and took 20 min. to fix, just a small magnet had got corroded. So the €300 juicer obviously cost about €30 to make.

I’ve come to the conclusion that half the private cars for sale aren’t actually for sale, all you get is ‘ring us in a week and we’ll sort something out’

Pistonheads for sale section improved once they started charging.  If advertisibg is free, people will take a chance, and price something a bit stupid to see if they get a bite.

One can only hope that while these people are "testing the waters" that they either drown or are eaten by a shark.

I'd never answer an ad that says that. One of the many hallmarks of an idiot.

Shitty fibre came and dug up my street for yonks, banged down a bit of crap tarmac and fucked off leaving mud everywhere. Except today the bastards are back, and digging up the exact same bits they dug up last time. So like last time there's now space for 3 cars, and 10 cars trying to get in them.

Bonus grump of Kinky girl had many hours of fun* pooing for England in preparation for her endoscope exam. Despite being drugged to insane levels they where unable to complete the procedure, so now waiting for a CT scan instead.

Little bit of a grump. 

Never watched his channel. 

But I certainly won't now! 

I would be less than impressed if he had came sniffing about my stuff! For very good reasons! 

Probably would chin the c*nt if he did!

Possibly also a Court Order to get YouTube to help reveal the identity of "the bearded explorer" might be of assistance. After all, trespassers can be sued....

Seriously? You're really suggesting that those who deal in other people's misery property would ever mis-represent the facts? It's not as if they are highly paid and unprofessional profession trade.

(Also IIRC @beko1987 proved the TV lies in a photo he took at home last year)

Whoever originally said that the camera never lies clearly hadn't met an estate agent.

I would post a cartoon from VIZ, but it doesn't seem to exist online; it's a picture of an old-timey camera with the caption "The camera never lies" and a speechbubble from the camera that said "John Wayne was a Yugoslavian", which rather dates both the cartoon and me.

As a family we gained a kitten in lockdown.
It is mostly cute and fluffy.

Tonight It was fixated by the wind and all the 3D stuff going on in the garden, after a bottle of Lager it seemed like a benevolent act to take the kitten outside to see "All the things of wonderment"

It was transfixed until the the Gazebo canvas flapped and kitten tried to perform a Nipple-ectomy on me which is still bleeding.
Full depth claw penetration right in the centre of my Man Tit.

I feel like an out-take from a Pink Floyd video.

The approved Concise Uxbridge English Dictionary word is Moob [noun /muːb/].

Volvo is refusing to start to take it to the workshop to fit a new starter. Funnily enough the starter is turning, but the (brand new) battery was flat as a pancake after only sitting a week. The fiesta doesn't have the power to jump it properly so now I'm sitting in the cold waiting for it to charge the battery enough to start the car.

Noob cat owner error.  If there is any risk of a cat (in particular a kitten) extending its claws in fright, you hold the cat claws out.

Land-Rover off-Road?  Thumbs out.

Carrying an axe?  Blade out.

Carrying a kitten with 4 murder mittens?  Claws out.

It's just basic safety.

when I got divorced in 1992 we had a cat which stayed with me until the house was sold , I didn't like it and it didn't like me

It was sat on the window sill so I picked it up to put it outside , what I hadn't noticed was it was having a stare off with a cat outside, when I picked it up it went berserk , and I mean howling,spitting , claws out, fuck you you cunt all over my chest and bare arms , I had to pull it off and throw it to get the fucking thing away from me

An hour later it's round my ankles purring, OK you're still a cunt but I'm hungry

Do you turn the engine on, for the fiesta?

My divorce saw me end up with an untrained, mental, yappy dog. It shat in my daughters bed.  It once looked me in the eye and took a shit on the living room carpet, then (maintaining eye contact) dragged it's arse along for good measure. It was rehomed when I explained to my ex that I was going to kill it with my bare hands. And I would have.

Question:  Why is Facebook Marketplace so thunderously shit?  I don't even mean the people who use it, I'm talking about the whole design of the site.

I just put in amplifier, highest price first to try and weed out all the 30 year old sony amps but it doesn't work because the asking price is £123.456 , I suppse just in case somebody offers 10 the £20 it's worth

 

These were some of the search results for amplifier

Exited the front door of my house this morning straight into a fucking cyclone which blew my boiling coffee all over my face, I was lucky as it was 4 am so there were no witnesses...............the wife has saved the footage of it from the ring doorbell and sent it to everyone she knows and has ever met.
