The grumpy thread

[MrDuke]

Moar eBay shit.

 

Bloke advertises item with postage at £7, sounds OK, so I bid & win. Except then he says he wants £15 p&p, so I tell him to jog on.

 

He then files for NPB and I have to cough up to pay for the item (no postage) which I obvously then won't get, rather then a cancel transaction.

 

So he gets a neg, as is pretty much fair in the circumstances.

 

He then uses another account (registered to the same name and address, smart!! ) to bid & buy one of my bits and leave a stinking retaliation, even though he somehow got the one I laid for him removed.

 

Very frustrated as now I can't buy any shit & will probably get lobbed off selling for "non-performance" or some other spurious shit.

 

 

Find out where he lives, then go round and shoot him in the face.

That shit they call food at the NEC.

 

you obviously didn't try to wash the taste away with the 'coffee'

Surely you could have just forwarded the demand for more p&p to ebay?

That's what I would have done. Taken a screenshot of the evidence (the auction as it ended), the wanky email (where he demanded more money) and then screenshots of his shithead retaliation. You can even prove it was him as the other account you mentioned is registered to the same email address.

 

It's worth a go anyway, I wouldn't want some cumburp ruining my eBay feedback. And I've had some close calls and pointless arguments with people anyway, like that flid from Neath who bid on my Creamfields tickets......

[autofive]

ebay doesnt like bad publicity about the company - or the underhand practices of some of its users

 

if nothing comes of your complaint, threaten to go public

Curry guts.

Apologies.

 

Ploppy, son of Ploppy.

 

I am grumpy that there isn't enough time in the day to get the important stuff done.

[Parky]

Tax demand. Not saying how much but enough to buy a new car. Just to rub salt into that, got another today to say they made a mistake and apparently I owe even more than that.

 

Cant understand how, I've been on PAYE forever. Either way, FAAARRRRRRRKKKKK! Letter to Revenue coming up, basically saying WTF

[dollywobbler]

Idiots who just stop in the road. Especially when it's 60mph. Had two on one stretch of road this morning. One block just stopped near a blind bend because there were some birds flying - piss off and park in a layby, red kites really are not that rare a sight here! The other stopped to answer his mobile near a blind crest. Despite this, he was able to reply to my horn rebuke! (piss off highway code too - I was letting him know that 2 tons of Land Rover was there and forced to take evasive action as he clearly couldn't see this).

 

If my mobile goes off while I'm driving, I ignore it. Why do these in-bred fuckwits not realise that you DON'T have to answer the bloody phone? The car with the phone even had a passenger who could have answered!!

 

Maybe like me, they should wear jeans where the pocket is to tight that there's no chance of getting the phone out of your pocket without actually getting out of the car.

I'm currently sat in the local Nissan dealer as the Micra has some product recall, i ordered 4 small trim clips whilst i was waiting, over £4 bloody pounds for these 4 tiny clips, i was grumping so much the fat service manager had to get of his fat arse and shut his office door!

I'm also disapointed by the lack of Bluebirds here as well.

[Cavcraft]

Reality telly: what a crock of fucking shit most of it is. I've just endured a few minutes of some absolute shite called 'Tool Academy' which is basically a bunch of pathetic, shouty fucking bellends having lie detector test in front of their mentally challenged birds, most of whom seem the footballer wifey type bints who apply make up with a cannon. Anyhow these sad fucking wankers use their ten seconds of fame to get all angry and threaten the cameramen and presenters. I mean obviously it's well worth agreeing to agree to appear on fucking pond life television and then get mad about it, hey?

 

I hope to God some of these twats have a steel door slammed repeatedly on their heads before being tortured by having rose bushes shoved up their arses whilst they are forced to listen to Boyzone singles a thousand times over.

[trigger]

Also whilst i was at the Nissan garage earlier i took a look at the new Micra, there's nothing Micra about it, It's bloody massive, Easily as big as a Mk 4 Escort inside.

 

Even the salesman said the models has some mixed feedback from buyers, they only make it in 5 door now with a 1.2 engine.

Bigger than the outgoing model then? Great choice of engines, mind you manufacturers seem to be cutting down on the range of engines - notice that the 1.4 size seem to be disappearing. On the subject of Nissan, actually seen a Nissan Juke for the first time today, what a hideous looking piece of oversized crap, had to smile as they struggled to get it in the car parking space, still with all the Nissan ad's all over it guess it was somesort of demo car.

[retrogeezer]

Looks like a cross between a Mini and a Corsa or something...still, anything is an improvement on the last hideous version.

[Negative Creep]

Looks like they've stuck a Grande Punto front end on it

[eddyramrod]

...And missed! Why do people keep buying this rubbish? There are a couple of Jukes running round Paphos now, so no doubt there will be more. Do they breed? I hope not! Bloody hell, they're as ugly as Jeremy Kyle interviewees...

[scaryoldcortina]

My wife just threw a book at me for no* good reason

 

 

*there is an outside possibility that it may have been something to do with me playing the battle hymn of the republic on a mandolin. I don't consider that very likely though, she's obviously gone mad.

[M'coli]

Who the hell cares what Nissan does?

They have a manufacturing plant in the North-East of England, and one that's highly productive. What we don't want it doing is producing cars that nobody will buy, with obvious consequences for the workforce. Savvy?

Im seeing Jukes everywhere. Honestly, I've seen half a dozen in the past week. TBH I don't really care about them anymore. Tail-lights look very 370Z, I might add.

Plus they have two proper sports cars in the current lineup

[autofive]

i was talking to a 'duke' owner a couple of weeks ago - he was moaning about the crappy build quality, drivers door had dropped and central locking packed up on his 5 or 6 week old car

Did you know a full set of GTR runflat tyres are like £4k due to how hard they are to find ? Main dealers are literally asking whatever they like for them. We (work) know of several GTRs that are off road simply for want of a set of tyres.

[dollywobbler]

I quite like the Nissan X-Trail. There. I said it.

[Cavcraft]

I'd rather look at the bits of fluff in my avatar full stop.

[Negative Creep]

NC, if the test for caring about a maker's offerings is whether or not they have a proper sports car, I really don't care. Eyes glaze whenever I hear "proper sports car". I'd rather look over Cavette's scootergirls than the latest Lambo.

 

 

My point is that at least they are trying to appeal to car enthusiasts by building interesting cars (unlike say, Toyota). Plus I've owned 5 Nissans/Datsun and 4 of them were great, hence I have a big soft spot. They've always had a reputation as minicabs or OAP wagons but the Sunny, Almera and Primera were actually damn good cars

 

The Juke looks like shit though

Lambo = supercar

 

Sports cars are ones you can go for a fun Sunday drive in, but if needs be take to work the day after. They're the ones that make the money for the company by being quite expensive but mostly "stripped out" yet always have a waiting list, hence enforced desirability.

For some unaccountable reason the majority of X Trails \ Qashqais in Cheshire are driven with incredible aggression. I suppose it could be a manifestation of small man syndrome - I mean, you're driving a car that's a half arsed attempt at a budget car \ SUV crossover - I'd be pretty pissed off as well!

 

That said, a friend's father has one and says its great for towing. So we have at least one satisfied X Trail owner out there. This could be the anomaly in the Matrix I was talking to you about. This could be the anomaly in the Matrix I was talking to you about. It happens when they change something.

Towing what?

The skin off a rice pudding?

 

Last time I checked some kind of enormous fuck-you twin axle caravan. Or 'pikeyplop' as my five year old cousin thus refers to them.
