I'm with you on that one, I've never seen a taxi driver yet who physically gets out of his cab and rings a doorbell!

Yup, I hate Golf too.
But I do like footy, Formula 1 and Le Mans.
I hate shopping too. Too boring and costs too much.
I hate the fuel prices, just put £50 in my A6 only just over 3/4 full. 107.9p a litre!!! Aaaarggggghhhh!

i love golf, although not when i play badly.

at the moment i would like to fill room 101 with ebay sellers who give negative feedback to buyers who do nothing wrong and have to leave negative feedback for shoddy service received.

[rant]

i recently bought 2 items from the same seller (on separate days, but close together) i paid asap after the auction then waited for delivery.

one item arrived normal post, when i had paid extra for recorded delivery. the item was also the wrong colour to what i asked for.

the other took over a week for him to post (apparently lost in the post) his comms were ok, but "short" in temper.

so, i leave fair feedback on the matter, one negative (delivery issue) the other neutral. i then receive negative for both, saying that i had no comms, and i only leave negative FB and i should be avoided.

it irritates me, as i havent done anything to deserve that feedback.

[/rant]

there, i got it off my chest.

[hagis]

Or people who can't be bothered to leave feedback. I go to the trouble of doing it only for them not to bother. Pity you can't withdraw feedback.

I sympathise with you both. I do e-bay a lot too. I'm at 234 still 100% positive, don't know how long that'll last though. I've only ever (almost) been conned twice, but I was the winner both times. I bought a set of Vauxhall mudflaps, (dirt cheap £10!) and was then told bluntly by the seller that "I ain't letting them go for £10." I had already paid, got Paypal involved who banned him. Result. The worst thing that happened to me was when I was e-mailed by someone who had stolen another e-bayer's username and sent me an e-mail threatening to sue me because I was selling another Vauxhall workshop manual like him. I thought what the **** and clicked on the link to his workshop manual (and including a link to put my username and password in) when my anti-virus bought an immediate halt to proceedings and strongly advised against inputting anything as it was a phishing website. My 15 year old son takes care of all the e-baying in my house as he can do it all a million times quicker than me.
Besides, soon I will be putting an Audi RS6 front grille on e-bay (as soon as there is a cheap listing day) so if you want one then keep an eye out.

The overuse of pointless adjectives in advertising:

"These aren't just any potatoes, they are Jersey-grown Maris Piper potatoes..."

Maris Piper being the most common variety, used by most chippies. The Jersey ones are usually the first ones ready in the UK.

I must admit though, they do a good job of making you want that food in the M&S ads.

the mini belgian chocolate puddings with the extra thick channel island cream were awesome

...dammit, you have me doing it now.

heh, Stuart should run a competition on here for a new site tagline.

"these are not just any forums...."

This idiot.


He embodies a lot of things that are wrong with society today. You gambled away your own money, moron. It's your fault, no one else's. Don't try and sue someone to make up for your own failings.

I'd suggest that if any sympathy should be given towards people with gambling addictions, it would be those who have lost their houses etc, rather than whinging little rich kids who can afford to bet £30k a day.

Not only do I hope this man loses, I hope he gets lumbered with the legal fees as well.
