    I had a strange one the other day, well it wasnt strange cos i kew what his game was with the high postage. I won an amp but only wanted the control knobs, the rest of the amp needed skipping by the looks of it condition wise. He would not just post the knobs.

    Basically what the hell difference would it make just posting the knobs especially with the amp finishing at around a fiver, i know what i'd rather do.

    Obvious answer is? Answers on a postcard.

    Mini roundabouts, or to be more accurate the inability of some people to negotiate them correctly.


    Talking of negotiation, just saw something for sale on another forum. The seller asked for £387.50, the eventual buyer counter offered £385.00

    I have just found this thread and i have to say i am impressed, i thought i was grumpy but now i feel much better!

    Mine are:

    Hoodies (kids) walking around terrorising other people, makes we want to slap the sh*t out of them.

    Telesales calling my home, and more recently some bugger has sold my mobile number so i get automated messages asking me to call them about a potential PPI claim!!!

    Lack of indicating, sudden braking for no reason, tailgating....

    The list goes on and on i am afraid, think i may be old before my time, i am going to make a great old man!

    Folks who come over to my desk in work and feel that in order for me to understand what they are talking about they have to point it out on my screen, but not just point, TOUCH the screen. Drives me nuts. Big greasy fingerprints.
    DIY is fine and dandy, but just try selling it on!
