Lord Ferguson Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Talking of not being paid... and what annoyed me today... me 'so called' mate who ran up a bill of £2300 with me and decided to do his 'osterich impression' has now offered me a payment of £20 per MONTH through the small claims court to settle his debt.... not sure what you think... but I reckon a 9.5 year loan interest free from the bank of Marky is a bit of a 'mickey' take really.. I've worked very hard for the very small amount of money I have and to let a mug like him take it off me makes me VERY cross... Hey ho.. what goes around, comes around as they say.. and I'm still breathing.. and it's only money.. I think it's more the principal of the way he's gone about it all that I am cross with...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 He is indeed Mike.... and I'm deleting him from facebook too.. I'm sick of seeing him at celebrity charity auctions.. word is he's 'billy big balls' there.. likes to 'impress' and make a statement....puts his hand up for the big bids at the auction... with my bloody money ;D .. at least most of it has gone to charity I guess.. in a perverse way that makes me feel a bit better... I think his flash motor has already been repossessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 work mate of mine, decided to ignore the advice from 2 of us with him , and went up onto the grass over a dual kerb to work, 4 this afternoon as we were leaving our end of the job, the phone goes,"help , i need towing off" > hes managed to get one front wheel down of the first kerb and bottomed the sump and front crossmember out on it, luckly no damage to his van, but on a very busy main road just by a set of t lights, right as we are off, caused chaos as we towed him off, had to stop the traffic from all 3 ways, dragged him off, and had to spend 10 mins with shovels making good his handywork, some people just do not accept advice do they, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Gough Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 People on my college course. Half of them dont seem to be bothered to listen to any of what we get told, then moan when they get good marks on their assignments. They disrupt the lessons for the rest of us and some of them act as though they feel that, because they have worked for a contractor, that they are better than us and try to make us feel bad about it. Although some of them are on pretty thin ice so it may get better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 An IT service desk in India. Simple problem I can't print some .tiff files which I have been sent. I want someone from the local IT department in Aberdeen and they sit on the other side of the office for me to come an look at the problem. But we have to phone India they dial in to look at the issue which they can't help on.... to then raise a ticket to send back to the local IT team in Aberdeen. Oh the hoops we have to jump through in our company to get a simple thing done. It will be interesting to see when someone will actually come and try to resolve the problem.

Ghost Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 ? Are you saying he cannot pay you? Yep no money we have approx £100 in the bank, no money/ backup collaterall to fall back on, for the last two weeks I have been paid in parts for my car ( I work for a used subaru parts specialist and drive an Impreza) but like the rest of the world I have outgoings and can't afford to be paid 'in kind' as it is, I have suggested down sizing or even folding the business ( we are several thousand pounds in debt ) but just get accused of not being a team player, I'm not the one who's burying his head in the sand hoping it will all sort it's self out, hopefully something will come from the job applications I have sent out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I had an STi back a few years back.. best fun I've had with my clothes on I reckon...

Gav836 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 1) The fact that a certain younger member on here seems to think its ok to order conversions and not pay for them, would name and shame them but its not within the rules to do so 2) Someone I considered a friend has ordered a beet harvester off me, asked me to list it on ebay for him to pay for through Paypal then says he has a problem with Paypal and can't use it. Keeps assuring me he'll pay but my patience is running out as the ebay fees will soon require paying 3) Just caught Buster about to steal my lunch off the plate!!!!

Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ah the good old days... that was a beasty... I've just remembered when I was on the M11 one morning heading to London VERY early... doing ... well... lets just say a bit more than the national speed limit... motorbike comes from out of nowhere... quite literally... pulsl alongside me and nods his head... I slammed it from 6th to 5th.. hit the intercooler water spray and floored it... I reached the 'goverened speed' in seconds... he kicked his bike down at least two gears and left me as if I was standing still ! always a bigger fish out there in the pond. Mind you... I was always worried that I'd get a Type R or two stuck in my air cleaner .. it ate them for breakfast.. and my good friends 911 on the bends on the way to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav836 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Just remember what you told me a while back, the Subaru was good fun but was no where near as economical as the BMW you replaced it with ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 True Gav.. but the BMW just lacked the raw feel on the Subaru... too refined and lifeless by comparison. Still a quick motor mind you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 They do have an Sti demonstrator mate.. I've got to have the Rodeo serviced next week and I got a letter the other day to say that they now have the Subaru agency as well as Isuzu.... I though then to myself, should I ask for an Sti as a courtesty car perhaps Mike.. that's disgusting... it must make you so cross... can you point a camera at it from now on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Unfortunately not Mark, I have to park on the road and the damage was done to the side of the car away from my house, there is also insufficient light to get a worthwhile picture. I am planning on changing my car in the next few months but I might now have to pave an area of garden to bring it closer to the house.

Lord Ferguson Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Such a shame Mike... rather than give that pillock who run the TAXPAYERS bank his £1m plus bonus.. I'd rather we spent our hard earned PAYE on altering your garden to keep your possessions safe. You serve us public to help maintain law and order, we should ensure that you are in no way victimised for doing so.. or indeed out of pocket for having to take additional security measures on yourself. MIndless morons ... that's all they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
