Why people have to talk about you behind your back and be nasty for just asking a bloody question!!!!

 

[Michael Sith]

People talking about you behind your back are doing so because they are insecure/bitter/jealous and basically doing so to offset those things , and because they are not genuine decent people, so stuff em mate they have the problem …not you…the people that count are the like minded people, who don't give a monkeys for gossip and calling …you just carry on being you …sod em !

 

[StarWarsFan]

Also why do people have to be nasty with you for just trying to help and say keep your nose out, when they have stuck theirs in multiple times!!!

The other half is in London catching a show this weekend and wanted to show off her "free" cheesecake in Harrods. Given the receipt for the pizza they had for lunch looks to say 75 quid that's not ******* free in my book

 

[Michael Sith]

What's up…you can't have your cake and eat it

agreed certainly wasn't free!

 

[Cazza]

Ah, that cheesecake looks good though!

Trying to sell my car at the moment. It's a beauty and I've priced it VERY well, but suffice to say I have had a deluge of chavs offering a couple of grand under asking price, or offering something else as a swap, despite my ad saying.... no swaps!

I'm just about to put my pride and joy GTi up for sale. Bought it new in 2007 and it's only done 19300 miles. It's like a new car and a few of my mates have said get ready for exactly what you're describing

Sounds like a beautiful car, have you got a photo? That would have cost you a good wack in 2007, has it held its value considering condition and miles done?

 

[lejackal]

Not a car but you just accurately described me trying to sell an iPhone on Facebook marketplace. No madam, I do not want to swap my perfect iPhone for your broken one

 

[Cazza]

So many time wasters around. Good luck with the sale, Colin. Sounds like an awesome car!

 

[Cazza]

Car's up for £12700 and just been offered £8k. Just f*** off! Here's the car: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-de...ort=relevance&percentVehiclePriceDeposit=true

That is a piss take @Cazza !!

Cheers bud, aye really is my pride and joy, wanted a GTi since I was a young loon. My boss had one at the bakery I worked at after school and fell in love with them (mk2 3 dr black) I had to wait until I was 34 to get mine though (mk5 3 dr black)
Problem is I waited so long I've treated it as a collectible and not a car, only drive it in summer, keep miles low etc and because it's getting close to 20,000 I'm basically only taking it out to get serviced and its MOT, such a waste of a great car.

Cheers mate, same to you, fingers crossed you get a call from a genuine buyer soon

 

[Cazza]

Colin, that's a beauty! I'm sure it won't hang around- can't be many MKV's around in that nick with that mileage. Never had a Golf. Just bought a Scirocco to replace the Beemer. Also had loads of Corrados back in the day.

 

[theforceuk]

Very nice Colin, I remember looking at one in the VW garage around about 2007 and thinking what a car! Probably my favourite shape, I had a blue TDi not quite the same, but still a great car.

I never get why people low ball like that. Sure, everyone wants a great deal, but offering something that low is just insulting.
I remember getting a low ball offer, like 40% of asking price for a MOC yrs ago. I declined it, politely, and yer man went bonkers. There are some proper fruit loops out there

I'd not complain at the offer being declined but if something has 'make an offer' on eBay I'll almost always be cheeky once if the thing is overpriced- you've always got another two chances to be more realistic

Trying to knock 4k off a 12k car is a bit beyond optimistic mind you

 

[weasel]

Yeah, if the guy is trying to sell a tenner for twenty quid then by all means offer a tenner. That's what it's worthafter all.

My MOC was worth what I was asking for it, it wasn't a particularly rare or unusual one. There were a few others for sale at the same price, but yer man seemed to think I was gonna sell it to him for 60% of asking price.

Some people are just retarded.

 

[lejackal]

Oh definitely, I've had resellers on marketplace tell me they're not buying item X as there's no profit for them. Thanks for the info mate

 

[weasel]

Well, CLEARLY, that's just more evidence of what we all knew…..You're a bastard! ;-)

I mean how dare you sell something for a reasonable price rather than at a bargain to allow someone else to flip it and make money!? What a bastard!

England won the wheelchair rugby league World Cup this weekend. Bravo, congratulations etc. However, apparently you're allowed to have able bodied players in the chairs- surely this defeats the object of disability sport? Sorry John, yes, I know you can only play wheelchair rugby because, well, you can't walk, but Fred here who didn't quite make the mens team fancies a go and because he's stronger and more mobile we're giving your seat to him.
Now yes, I'm all for equal opportunities etc but that shouldn't really be a reason to allow able bodied athletes to compete in disabled sports, should it?

 

[weasel]

Agree 100%.

Remind me of when Spain or Iran fielded a load of ringers in their "Women's" or "Paralympic" team for Handball, or some similar ****** sport.

Doesn't seem fair at all.

After a month of no PL football due to the World Cup and Christmas, it's back! So the BBC decide to default the Sports page to... Championship fixtures and the Scottish PL table!

 

[lejackal]

this was the football homepage after the semis. Biased much?

 

[lejackal]

And don't get me started on them making a PL table based on ******* XG:

The one thing that doesn't lie is the table, you can have an XG of a thousand if you like, it means sweet FA if you don't score. That's why teams can smash 30 shots, not score, get hit on the break and lose 1-0. Happens all the time

 

[edd_jedi]

Haha yes I did see that and thought the same

What the **** is that?
I hadn't seen that. Utter BS. But Chelsea in 15th does look good.


Although, does that (totally) prove Arsenal are a sham and have fluked/cheated their way to the top!? ;-)
