I really want to add quotation marks to the sign in front of my neighbours house so it reads "tomato" plants for sale. I wonder how long it would be before the police stop and question it.

Amazon fire stick. What a waste of time. I was offered one with my internet for free so thought why not. It doesn't offer anymore than my smart TV already does. You still have to pay for what you watch. I'm glad I didn't buy it like some people will have done.

Got to love ebay! Yet another time waster who keeps making requests after they have purchase one of my items. Now they claim they have made a mistake and that it doesn't fir their car, can they have their money back. Err... No. I have no obligations to give refunds for incorrectly purchase items.

I'm very aware of it. I've already informed ebay, paypal and my courier of the situation so if the item arrives "damaged", they should treat it with suspicion.

You haven't sent it yet? Just refund it is so easy, sell it to someone else.
Mar 27 2016 12:17 PM -

R1 mini its been sent. I know its a risk but I have beaten people like this before and on many occasions unfortunately. Postage had been sorted out before the buyer messaged me which was why I refused the refund and the change in postage method.

Spent the day at Tyldesley Model Flying club taking part in 3 competitions. I had to drop eggs from my plane, fly under a wire as many times in 2 minutes and then a competition called 'roops' Didn't win but didn't come last in anything.

I'm not a member of the club. I went to an open day there. I'm a member of the Newport DMFC in Shropshire.

Just got a reply on ebay about a car being broken for spares. I asked what engine and gearbox it had as I am after a particular gearbox. The response I got was 'Standard one'. What use is that when there are multiple engines and gearbox combinations for the car.

Try asking a more pertinent question! Some people won't know what you mean and need a push.
Mar 14 2016 02:54 PM -
M J W J
I thought what engine and gearbox would have sufficed. If someone asked me this about my mazda 323 that I am breaking, even though I don't know the engine code I could tell them its a 1342cc 16v petrol and 5 speed manual gearbox. Doesn't matter now anyway. I have sourced the one I need.

Spent the last 3 hours trying to figure out why my mazda wouldn't start. Turns out that I had undone a ground strap not the bracket I had intended to do.

I got a letter in the post this morning to say that my new driving license should arrive within 2 weeks. I also received another letter at the same time with my new license. Why are we paying so much for road tax?
Feb 20 2016 11:09 AM

Steve220
It's an automated system unfortunately which is why you'll get silly letters through. Also no one pays road tax, it's vehicle exercise duty. Quite a significant difference between the 2.
Feb 20 2016 03:44 PM -
M J W J
If no-one pays road tax then how come it says tax on both the DVLA website and a V11 reminder? Call it what you want. Its still a tax. Its used to fund public services.
Feb 20 2016 07:49 PM -
Steve220
Because no one pays tax to use the road. Otherwise cyclists and horse riders would be charged. It's usually referred to as vehicle tax as it's based on the vehicle emissions.

My Mk3 astra was delivered this evening. WHOOO!!! Let the insane engine swap begin.

Nope. Its an engine I've yet to see swapped into a mk3

I think you should make a tread out of this conversion. :)
Feb 17 2016 06:40 PM -
M J W J
I will do when there is something to show. I haven't forgotten about the mini and work is still being done. I'm just in a position where I can do the swap and have been toying around with the idea for a few years now. It should be more of a bolt together conversion with very little fabrication unlike the mini.

Order a set of saab gearbox mounts for a project. Asked the seller for 'the mounts including the rubber parts'. What does he send me? Just the rubber isolaters. Got charged £10 for postage as well when the postage label on it says £3.90. Not happy. I have contacted the seller and am awaiting a reply.

Wow. It shows I haven't been on here for a while. I got a notice saying someone had updated their status only for that status to say 'Merry Christmas everyone'. I should be a bit more active again now I have internet.

Making a cup of tea using a fork instead of a tea spoon is a lot like playing Russian roulette. You keep trying to squeeze the tea bag but you know if you over do it you will split the tea bag.
