  1. Beats the crap out of working for a living driving buses.
  2. My beard is epic at the moment. Haven't trimmed it since Sep 1st. But it comes off tomorrow just before I bog off to Mauritius for a fortnight. I've had a beard for over 20 years and now because they are 'in fashion' suddenly I'm all the rage. I'm literally catching the eye of girls who I am old enough to have fathered. That's the power of fashion.
  3. Baboon. A tree dweller with a big red arse sounds perfect
  4. You have a smorgasbord of disappointment and anger ahead of you. Much of it caused by others. In short Estate agents - Lying ba$tards the lot of them. About as genuine as half the clothes on Dagenham market. Don't believe any word they say about anything EVER. Commission driven parasites. Conveyancers - Lazy overpriced golfists, which is usually where they will be found rather than dealing with your purchase or sale. EVERYTHING is always the other sides fault and never theirs. Surveyors - Fantasists and failed builders usually. They hide behind small print that excuses all the things they'll miss. You can have that advice for free.
  5. Great thread, anything that gets the blood pressure up on a few of the usual forum safety bores is worth the effort. Nice work Fubar :yes:
  6. I was chased off the forum by a feminist moderator but for now at least. I'm back
  7. I bought a XENA disc lock for mine, it's only a deterrent though. If they want it they'll get it.
  8. He even said 'you won't get away from me son'. He was gone after two corners.
  9. Nah my examiner went home early after an old bike crash knee injury was giving him jip, I was the second to be tested so my L partner got tested the 'proper' way but at very short notice the extremely dour manager of the place had to conduct my test in his private car. Miserable geet he was, didn't want to come out of his office. Was semi expecting a fail just cos he had the hump going out in the rain.
  10. Yeah but WHO CARES !!?!! It's just 5p. Jesus!
  11. I wore a patterned lid for my test. It exaggerates the shoulder checks more than a plain one would. Not that the examiner behind me in his Citroen Picasso thing was anywhere to be seen for most of the test. he couldn't keep up at all. As a result- Clean sheet pass
  12. If true, how very totalitarian and it reinforces my point beautifully Comrade.
  13. I used to spend a lot of time on here but it's changed since I joined and not for the better I'm afraid. it's become an overly moderated forum with a distinct left wing agenda. But if you stick to the 'party' line then I've noticed you can say more or less what you want. Any views contrary to this are usually removed by staff as it's easier to say something is 'offensive' or 'aggressive' or 'sexist' or 'racist' or any other of the buzz words of the minute which the left have adopted in their all inclusive mantra than it is to allow a discussion to evolve. Most of the moderators are really decent balanced people, and do a good job for which they get nothing I could name names but I'll spare the blushes. One or two are the type who get a kick from inflicting their will on others so much so that it must be their day job too. This has had the effect of making on forum discussions one sided by shamelessly placating the easily offended brigade, because of course their view is the only correct one. Impartial much? Then there are others who use the forum for personal gain, enforcing rules about advertising things or mentioning businesses left right and centre whilst using the forum to pimp their own financial interests goods and services for free instead. Wiping out the competition is a good business plan but it still smacks of double standards. Discussion is the entire point of fora, and this one has become so one sided that there is no discussion to have anymore without either biting your tongue so to speak and watering down your point to such an extent it's almost null by your own hand so as not to cause 'offence' to others, or it's removed when a handful of serial complainers complain. There are several threads running right now that I can't contribute to because I don't sing from the correct hymn sheet to have my input considered as valid purely because it isn't within the 'what we allow on the forum' remit. Certain events this year have ensured my 'Freedom' contributions will cease going forward, my financial contribution has been moderated to zero because I don't believe in the cause any more, and I'll be damned if I'm going to pay so someone can censor me to fuel their own little power trip. It's a shame, but us members have our own back room via PM and I can assure you I'm not the only one who feels this way, nor am I the only one who won't be renewing freedom as a result. I'm not even sure Freedom is the right word to describe whatever it is that it represents anymore. I wonder if this post will still be here in it's entirety or indeed at all tomorrow?
  14. Are you good at writing fantasy, if so you'll be great at the job. On a survey conducted upon a property I'm selling the 'surveyor' put in writing this little gem. 17. The back door is defective and needs replacing. Has this been discussed by the management company? What are the potential costs involved? The moron never even had a key for that door, that's why he couldn't open it. Even if the lock was defective, you'd replace the lock not the door. Well you would if you weren't from outer space anyway.... Surveys are such a waste of money and ultimately not worth the paper they are printed on if there is a problem because they are cleverly worded to avoid any responsibility for missing something that causes problems later. So much so that when I buy properties which can be 2 or 3 times a year I don't even bother having one done, I look at the property and that's good enough for me. I don't borrow money so lending isn't reliant on surveys, and I've enough experience and know how to tackle more or less any problem I find. 15. We still await a response in relation the electrical tests carried out at the property. We would request that a test is carried out on the flat. 16. Further to the above point, the electric storage heaters are required to be inspected and serviced or a safety test carried out on them. So they made a big fuss about this, then when I said fine, I'll supervise the testing though suddenly it's not so important anymore. Methinks the buyer had a tame sparks who would have found faults where there were none and then tried to re-negotiate price. Foiled sucka, I done this sheet before.
