I found this weird thing about mosquitoes, I'm a vegetarian and have not been bit by a mosquito since I became one. I've asked a few veggie mates this and they say they haven't either. The proof was walking through long grass with a meat eating mate in Spain and her legs got bitten up to bits and mine were untouched by the insectoid probiscii. I wonder why??? Less iron in blood? Considering I became deathly pale since I stopped eating meat.

[sporty-shite]

Fair enough SS. Is the guy from Manchester by any chance?

 

I don’t know how crusty the arch is but it sounds like you’re on the receiving end of some patter there, spesh if he’s talking about fitting a Lexus V8 as well, sounds like he’s full of ‘big ideas’.

 

I say fook him off and get a ticket sorted on it, then if his curiosity gets the better of him and he does come back in the future you have deleted one possible lever which can be used to barter you down. I bet you won’t need to spend £500 to get it tested and as for needing a new quarter the guy is on drugs. It looks flipping sweet on carandclassic, I’m surprised you haven’t had loads of Guinness slurpers ringing you up… saying that theyre all unemployed and stony broke aren’t they now.

Yes, Bolls, he's from Manchester. Said he looked at it first "because it was local". The rear quarter thing is definitely patter. There's a link to high def pictures of all the rust in the advert. He could, and would, have seen it all before he came.

 

As for the MOT, the only reason I haven't tested it is because I wanted it to go with a full 12 months, so I was going to do it once a deal had been done. I gave him the option of taking it without purely to make my life easier. You are right, there's no way it will take £500 to see it through a test.

 

And yes, I've had some enquiries from over the water, but they've turned to nothing, because they've "had to sell something first".

Dunno. I get bitten by mosquitoes and midges and clegs and birch bugs despite not eating meat.

Not deathly pale either.

[Spiny Norman]

I eat all sorts of dead animals but mozzies and midges don't bother me at all. They land on me, take a quick sniff or whatever it is they do, and fuck off to the next poor sucker.

WIN.

Could be the personal hygiene thing common to most veggies.

[MrDuke]

Mrs_Duke is a slightly-pale veggie, and gets bitten constantly. I'm a pudgy, unfit meat-eater and very rarely get bitten - however, when it does happen, I'm left with permanent scars regardless of whether I scratch or not.

Had to go to the Jaguar/ LandRover main dealers today for a "P" gasket for the Discovery.As I go to pull into the carpark there is an XF parked right across the entrance.Oh well just reverse back and park on the road.As I walk up to the Jag one of the LandRover mechanics is bringing a car round for a customer.I looked towards the empty Jag then back at the mechanic,shrugged and walked into the parts department.There is one chap in the parts dept. and as I open the door the mechanic toots his horn.Seeing the chap look directly at the Jag I ask if it's his car."yeah" he says with a stupid chuckle."well matey,you are blocking the entrance" and I did call him matey. "I didn't know where to park" he replies so pointing towards all the empty spaces with signs infront of them I asked "did you not see the customer parking signs ? not even the one ten feet infront of your car" "I won't be long" was his reply.There were atleast eight empty spaces with a sign infront of them saying customer parking yet this lazy selfish twat parks right across the entrance.If he'd pulled up right outside the parts dept. door then fair enough but even he had to walk a good 100 metres to get there and everybody else had to park on the road

[Station]

Oh, I know this dude.

 

'Aren't I amazing! I've got all these rare Toyotas stashed away LOL'

 

Persevere, Chris. Someone better than him will come along.

Is it the one that sells old Toyotas, including that 60's red one a few months ago? It was about £1k which I thought was cheap.

Job Centre and their mandatory work bs. Looks like they want me to do 14 hour days for this crap. Funny how easy they can get you into these things but anything normal they "can't help you with" - "we don't have that on our system". Doesn't help that the "advisors" in our job centre are one wrong word away from a smack.

the whole system is designed to piss you off to the point when you sign yourself off.

 

why not suddenly do your back in and visit the doctor to get a sick note?

Mrs_Junkman is a very pale veggie and also gets bitten constantly. I'm a member of the white, male, heterosexual, tax paying, meat eating minority that drinks, smokes, and watches stockcar races. I rarely get bitten, if I am I hardly notice, nor does it leave any marks, even if it is by a bee or wasp. Actually, being stung by a bee or wasp is less severe for me than being bitten by a mosquito.

[Lacquer Peel]

Well done.

[eddyramrod]

Predictable, I know, coming from me, but.... Tesco Fucking Broadband.  Nuff said really.  This is why you haven't seen me lately.  I simply don't have a connection at least 90% of the time.  They ain't getting a renewal out of me.  I could describe what I get from them as abysmal, disgusting, incompetent... but those words are much too kind.

[KruJoe]

Foreign import.

 

You'll get used to the left hand drive.

 

Mine came with RHD as standard

[warren t claim]

Women. I never fucking learn.

@ sporty-shite, when he offered you £1200 you should have said " if you can get a car like that for £1200 then i will buy 2 off you"

[SambaS]

Always the drivers fault.

 

Some customers take a while to answer the door, some give the wrong address, often I have to wait outside a big dormitory block thing on RAF base and wait for the customer. There is a 20mph speed limit too, I usually have to do at least 30.

 

Everything takes time, it takes 5 minutes to drive from the furthest point on RAF to the nearest estate.

 

I have to park in a car park and run to the visitors reception on my first trip to camp and get photo ID, every day.

 

My boss just doesn't have any fucking idea. I drive to the camp at the vehicles top speed I wonder how I could POSSIBLY do my job any faster.

 

*I've already been warned about speeding on camp by an Officer, and threatened to be banned from camp.

[SambaS]

Should I try not giving a fuck? I was ready to tell him to fire me today, he was asking the impossible again.

 

It's not worth the potential driving ban, are all jobs this stupid?

 

Is anyone having a happy life?

[SambaS]

I may try that.... my supervisor is just as bad too:

 

He took the last order on the phone to an address in Northallerton, when I got back he asked my why so long.

 

I said the address was in Northallerton.

 

He said you SHOULD NOT BE TAKING TEN POUND ORDERS TO NORTHLLERTON!

 

 - - we have another store in Northallerton so I though it was strange.

 

But my issue was. Why the fuck did he take the order and send me then?

 

It has just been a fucking wanky day today, and it was probably 25 degrees outside and I was driving around in the van with the heaters on full so the food didn't get cold!

to piss you off and waste your fuel

[SambaS]

Also I work at the Leeming Bar store 450 feet from my house, yet a few days into my employment he starts asking me to drive to Northallerton so it's costing me £20 a week extra in fuel.

 

And then I started today at 5pm, he rang me up at 4.40 and said I MUST come to Northallerton store, then I got there at 455  and his wife piped up "you are going to be late your meant to start in Leeming bar at 5pm"

 

STUPID - FUCKING - BINT

You should have said "i was thinking the samething, so which idiot took a £10 order for there

and you might want to leave little H&S hints about working in hot conditions.

Auto renewing shit. I wrote to a company asking them not to auto renew something, they never responded and I forgot about it until getting the invoice half an hour ago. They say they're taking the money on Monday - hopefully not Monday at 00:01 because their customer services don't open until office hours. 

 

Logged into their billing site, there's no option to cancel services on there (of course not) but I have changed my card details to gibberish which should hopefully slow them down a bit. 

 

I hate auto renewing stuff, it preys on the weak, forgetful and stupid. Which is unfortunate because I'm weak, forgetful and VERY VERY STUPID.

I cancelled the credit card (and the account it was associated with) last month, I'm 95% sure they don't have any of my valid card details but I'm still going to worry about it until Monday.

Don't take a mate with you and don't get him to wear a mask or it'll be man with a gimp in a jimp
