Gawd, reply recieved. "please can you send photographs of the damage"

Selfish thoughless people i have the pleasure of living next to. I painted my fence and when i did i was careful. Don't you worry, just paint my shed, caravan and wee ones play stuff. I need to move sick of these folk they always piss me off somehow.

Next time use a HVLP sprayer for the fence and overspray like a muthafucka.

I intend to. The amount of stuff of mine they have damaged over the years is just silly.

I have had cars where I genuinely wasn't sure what they were worth, so an internet auction site listing with no reserve is favourite.

Seems to be working for Mr. Conelrad's Big Bad Benz!

The missing bits are the ones that go from the floor to the gutter, and the ones from the gutter to the roof peak. It's going to be difficult to do anything with it except pack it back up and demand a refund (which I have done)

Latest reply wants me to do a full inventory of all parts from the packing list they also didn't send me so "their engineer" can decide what is best. Counting down to claim via ebay in 5,4,3.....

I imagine their engineer is a similar, mythical entity akin to "The Underwriter" that a well-known motorcycle insurance broker's call centre always puts me on hold to talk to when I tell them I've got a cheaper quote than my renewal.

Every year. Without fail. For the last two years I haven't even been arsed to obtain a cheaper quote, I just make one up and then they come back with the price they should have quoted me in the first place.

I too would like to join the 'kill the neighbours' club. The arse next door has disappeared and let it out to another bunch of fuckwits. Their basic mode of operation appears to be crank barry boy boom boom music, take off your shirt so everyone can appreciate your lobster red skin with wanker tattoos, get some sluts round and drink till you drop. Cheeky twats have even half filled my bin with their beer cans.

Does anyone know anything about mobile phone signal jammers? Thinking as they spend half their lives taking selfies, if there was a strange loss of signal every pissup they may fuck off and annoy somebody else.

6,438 · May 10, 2016

While I'm at it... another ebay one. Which ball would you like?

My mini is bright red so red ball but would want number 7 not 3 on it so don't think that's possible. I'll just have 8 ball

It's not an exam, you don't have to show your working out to get maximum marks.

My boss has one. Apparently they are really really illegal, but easily available from China. Its a plain black box a bit bigger than a smartphone....maybe 3 times thicker....anyway, its just got a recharging jack, an on off switch and a LED to show its on. It works really well. Not sure what the range is though, he used it to kill phone signals during board meetings.

Have a word - if they do nothing call the 5-0.

Criminal damage does'nt have to be intentional- it can be reckless. If a cop comes out tell him you know this.

People who advertise cars with no price or 'gauging interest' are just hoping someone will offer a daft amount of money. This is often followed by 'I'm not bothered if it doesn't sell'

I have had cars where I genuinely wasn't sure what they were worth, so an internet auction site listing with no reserve is favourite.

Dealt with many sellers like this - I have informed them that there are two people who aren't bothered if it sells.

Very illegal, and some have the power to interfere with signals from a mast up to half a mile away from the site of the jammer - just don't ask me how I know . Ofcom get extremely interested about why signals are being interfered with in such a way, and why mobile phone signals would return at about 6 in the evening, to the point of turning up at your place of work and demanding to be let in.

A picture of a Rover P6 v8 on the internet

a picture of my Rover P6 v8 from my computer.

One of these has the heater hoses the wrong way around and I don't think it's the one on the internet.

Some prick has left a car outside my garage so I cannot get access. If it is still there tomorrow I'll tow the bloody thing onto the main road with my Range Rover. Inconsiderate bastards.

6,584 · May 10, 2016

Am seriously considering just keeping it for a while TBH. Just because of the level of idiotic replies to the adverts! If anyone wants it on here and promises to look after it I will consider selling it at a decent discount.
Edit. Wrong thread I know, but it also comes with the original steel wheels and trims. Matching Nexen nblue tyres with around 1,000 miles on 'em.
As you were...

Wheels and tyres are not actually hovering silently above ground BTW.... Stacked vertically by the garage. Serving suggestion only.

After serious consideration am keeping the Prelude now! Up yours ebay mongs!

Steel wheels and tyres are still available if wanted (Jon?)

Welcome to my world. I now keep the trolley jack in the i10 just for this very reason.

Austria is completely divided at the moment.

In two weeks, we are voting our Federal President.

There is one nominee from the FPÃ–, a very far right party that has connections to the neo-Nazis.

And one nominee from the green party, a professor that is old, very intelligent but not loved by Everyman.

The man from the FPÃ– did win the first voting against 6 other nominees, now its run-off ballot. Right vs Left,

Bad vs Good, Poor vs Rich, Dump vs Smart.

And the whole society is completely divided. Long old friends are argueing and splitting up, there are even

brawls between the supporters of the two nominees.

Austria is looking like the 1930s again, many very old people say. IÂ´m thinking of getting a plan to emigrate to Cyprus,

just in case if it gets worse and the neo-Nazi-party FPÃ– is taking over Austria.

I'm afraid these things happen in modern politics.

I still haven't spoken to the despicable, treacherous, low life bastards who didn't have the foresight, courage and conviction to vote the right way in the independence referendum.

Who needs parents anyway? Or children. Bastards.

1,639 · May 10, 2016

The scary thing is how such a quite unimportant voting is dividing a society and a whole nation to the point where followers of each nominee start to beat the others up and old friendships are splitting.

4,066 · May 11, 2016

That's divide and rule for you.

This makes me angry. Some so-called football fans really are pathetic. What is smashing up the other team's tour coach going to achieve? Part of being a fan is respecting your team's opponents and you don't get behaviour like that in any other sport. The only good thing to come out of it is the club intend to give lifetime bans to the offenders - I should think so too!

https://www.dreamteamfc.com/c/breaking-west-ham-fans-smash-manchester-united-bus-outside-boleyn-ground/

It's not the first time an innocent coach operator has been targeted for transporting a football team. I think it was one of the Scottish teams who got a brand new coach, but fans of a rival team broke into the operator's garage and torched it when it just a few days old. How pathetic is that?

Every single 12mm socket in the garage, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2", standard, deep, impact, six point and 12 point has a fucking rounded off 13mm nut or bolt jammed in it.

Might just do this. Went to have a quiet word and he would'nt come to the door.

Did that to a cunt who kept blocking me in years ago. Just pushed it down the road with my Disco (winch bumpers are great) and left in the middle of a junction on a busy road - it'd gone within the hour & never did it again...

Hammer an 11mm socket on the 12mm nut then simples
