😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

The dude in question has a job paying like £28k (admittedly in London) but his rents only £600 :lou_facepalm_2:

We buy any car are cheating knobs

Had Grand Scenic 7 door a few years back which had ceased engine. Knackerd. The local garage said they’d take it off us for Ā£50 for spares.

WBAC offered us Ā£150ish and said they’d pick it up from the local garage in a couple of days. Best part of a month later picked it up. Had another look and reduced the price saying it was only worth scrap value.

Wind forward 12months Mrs C_S finds the car is back on the road and has been sold on.

A bloody miracle if you believe what we were told by WBAC

ceased = seized - I think…

had a few sherries

I sold an Audi A4 on Facebook last year in 20 minutes. One of my Facebook friends saw the pictures arranged to come down on the train from London a couple of days later… I picked him up from Parkway in the car, test drove it, paid cash and drove it home.

No sweat.

Been having this experience quite a lot recently, largely out of frustration with people on Facebook. I’ve proper gotten into it with some peeps and regular readers 'o mine know that once the personal abuse seal is broken, I am more than willing to play.

So I’ve had the joy of 50 something fat bald blokes attempt to offer me out after coming second best in one of these contests. It’s fucking ridiculous enough on Facebook, but at least it’s explainable. Most of the time, people are going by their real names, so the insult carries more weight, precisely their thinking when breaking the personal abuse seal in the first place.

I’ve seen it happen on football forums too, which is even more ridiculous, as it’s just a username and avatar being insulted, usually not a real life person that others can tie the comment to. In fact, there has been great consternation in other fora when identities have been revealed.

When these fuckers invariably realise they’re having their arses handed to them in the arena in which they chose to fight, they start bandying terms about like ā€œkeyboard warriorā€ or ā€œyou wouldn’t say that to my face in real lifeā€, or on Facebook, ā€œI’m glad I’ve seen your photoā€.

What utterly pathetic cunts.

That’s like someone giving it the large before a boxing match, having the fucking granny beaten out of them all bout, then lying in the corner, begging, bloodied and broken - asking the ref for a loaded pistol so they can continue the fight.

I’m going to ignore my uncle’s posts for a bit.

Looks fine to me. Maybe we’re just not compatible :lou_sad:

@goatboy Got to say I am not a fan of that photo.

I know. Those shoes with those tights. Shocker.

Must be something work doesn’t like, can see it perfectly well at home :lou_eyes_to_sky:

I can’t see it

The americanisation of our date system. Just seen an advert for ā€˜Dunkirk’, in cinemas July 21. Not 21st of July or even July 21st, ā€˜July twentyone’. That’s what the voiceover man said. Makes me want to be very cross with someone.

Why the fuck do they get their dates back to front? It’s not exactly a challenge to remember.

Day Month Year

quite why a country of 250m cannot grasp this is unbelievable. But then they did elect Trump.

America is the land of confusion - even their most famous superhero didn’t understand that trousers are not pants, and they should be worn over the top.

As a programmer, I like the Scandinavian date format.

Year Month Day

The coolest thing about this format is that if you ensure leading zeroes are applied, you can do simple numerical calculations to determine which date is later.

e.g.

20070228 < 20070331
