People who say they will come to pay cash on collection for a car you are selling - leave you waiting 2+ weeks continually saying they are coming and don't sell or relist it then on the day they finally say they are can get there, send a text to say they have changed their minds!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Had 4 other prospective buyers at the end of the auction, who because this wazzock waited 2+ weeks to finally make his mind up, were all no longer interested!!  Should have known he was a waster when he didnt even come to look at the car and just bid on it!

 

Anyone want to buy a nice 06 Audi TT??? haha

The festive season is soon upon us, and of course this means all the cr*ppy celebrity fitness dvd's. The before and after pictures really get me, not to mention the bull story about how they lost stones in so many weeks or months just by doing the routine they do in the dvd. Whatever! 1) You know they have fitness trainers, get up at the dead of dawn to jog, run, yoga and whatever else. 2) Live off broccoli smoothies or whatever they drink. 3) You know the 'before' pictures are simply them slouchy, pushing their tummy out, no make up, not brushed or washed their hair for days.

The facebook "trending" bar, visible if you view from a computor.

 

I don't know if this is a full representation of what is officially trending.

 

Half the times its like "so n so had a hair cut" THATS NOT NEWS!!! Who actually cares about it?

And meanwhile things about disasters happening or actual interesting stuff just doesnt get noticed.

 

 

But my real issue is I CANT TURN THE 'KIN THING OFF!!

And the sheer number of wallies that walk through the entrance and then just stop right in the way for no reason.

 

Oh and don't forget the people who use the shops for socializing and stand in the middle in big groups in the way gassing.

 

When i go shopping, i grab a basket or trolley, run round as quick as i can, get it done and get out.

I couldn't agree more. Same goes for people who just stand in the middle of the pavement chatting instead of moving to the side. Then when you ask them to move, they tut and have the nerve to give me evils.

 

People on mobility scooters, I know several where I live who aren't even disabled and use them as a car to go shopping, they go in the middle of the road and just expect traffic to stop for them. Saw an elderly man today just pulled into the roundabout and basically stopped traffic in both lanes.

I had a lady coming through temporary traffic lights on a mobility scooter last week towards me, we were on green and there was a pavement!

As for standing in the entrance Ben Morrisons has a rotating door,the people waiting to get in stand where the people coming out will come from causing a jam, then as secret sugar says they give you the evils for wanting to get out of the shop!

How about when you sell an item like i just have and the buyer sends a message claiming that an internal component is badly damaged but yet there is no mention of any damage to casings?

 

 

I am talking about a laptop that i sold last week. It was thoroughly tested prior to dispatch and now he has received it and claims that the hard drive is 'smashed'

Sorry but how can this happen when there is no damage to the packaging, no damage to the laptops casing or the 25 layers of bubble wrap that it was wrapped in??

 

 

I had this laptop returned to me this morning and guess what??

Saw one of these today and i think we upset him.

We just proceeded to point and laugh at his stupid loud music, loud exhaust and the fact that this was all going on in an old Ford KA with 'Racing Ford' livery up both sides.

What a t.. oh wait, i can't say that here.

 

gets my goat but makes my day when they see you laughing and get upset.

 

 

I remember once in my first mini, basically it was a wreck (but I loved it), a ned (that's what we call chavs up in scotchland in case anyone is wondering)

pulled up beside me in a 2 lane traffic queue. Think he was in an old nova. Starts laughing at the mini (fair enough given the state of it!) and revving the engine. I start revving back just for the farce of it. He revs more and gets clearly animated. This is serious now (in his mind) and I have ch allenged him. He is waiting for the lights. The lights change and my lane moves so I 'launch' forward (ah the optimism of memory). He does the same, but in his eagerness fails to appreciate that his lane hasn't moved yet and ends up driving straight into the back of the car in front of him.

 

Looking back I now feel sorry for the poor sod he drove into, but at the time I nearly wet myself laughing at him!

You need to watch "Snatch" - I believe both Jacobs and Minerals are featured in the cockney slang :w00t:

Really!

 

The bloke i am talking about used to tell us we wouldn't have the minerals to leave. When one of the blokes finally did, we had a T-shirt printed that said on the front  'I've got the minerals' and on the back it read 'Have you??'
