Had some woman say the dumbest thing ever to me earlier today after her horse got startle be me, grinding. "Why bother to fix such an old car! You should just buy a new mini." I didn't even both to respond to this.

Why was she riding a horse? She should've bought a car. Same principle.

We get a lot of people round me like this. Rich stuck up people who move into the area and think everyone else should behave like they do. Sorry I was here first.

My Gran bought me a giant novelty pencil for Christmas. I'm not sure what to do with it now as it won't even fit in our lathe so I can't sharpen it.

Yay!!! More ebay idiots to deal with. Someone is claiming their parcel hasn't arrived yet according to the courier it was delivered over 2 weeks ago. This is going to be fun to deal with ebay. :-l

Was the item signed for? Either way, why do people feel this behaviour is acceptable because the sale is through Ebay?
Dec 21 2014 07:26 PM -

It wasn't signed for but I have a delivery note for it saying it was delivered. I have contacted the person on ebay and told them this. I have also made ebay aware of the problem including sending them the delivery note. If it has gone missing or was delivered to the wrong place then I will be claiming my money back from the courier as the item has cover on it.

How to be the most hated person at Christmas: Put a plastic spider on a present, wrap it and then give it to someone who hates spiders. Mwhahaha...

Holy C*** its complicated to set a song as your ring tone on an Iphone. On my Xperia Z it was just a case of selecting the music file

My Vectra ticked over the 100,000 mile mark today. Its not as impressive though these days with modern cars.

-

Only problem with modern cars, especially diesels, is they cost a fortune when they do go wrong. I think 200k is the new 100k.

My old 306 turbo diesel passed the 200k mark recently. Still runs great and the original turbo is still producing factory spec boost. Great engines :-)

My mum has just come home and given me an Advent calendar. She said it was funny as there were only a few left of the Mars and Cadbury's ones yet there were boxes and boxes left of the One direction ones.
