Don't believe that

Either you're a good law abiding citizen or you're not.

Its not that black and white, most obviously with the
fools that hang their bags of dog shit on trees etc.

I see nothing wrong with that,

Yes, you actually are that stupid.

they're preventing someone from treading in it.

But now you can walk right into the turd.

It's in a bag on a tree, why on earth would you walk into that? Much
less
likely than treading on the shit that isn't in a bag.

And it doesn't smell inside the bag.

If I blindfolded you, you wouldn't be able
to pick where a turd was on the ground.

Agreed, your point being?

That even you should be able to look where you are walking
and not actually roll in the turd like some dogs do.

Most people like to enjoy the scenery, not have to watch their feet.

Most can actually manage to enjoy the scenery and not trip over
something that happens to be where they are walking towards.

Your eyes cannot clearly view ahead and below simultaneously.

If what you said was true, why is it even illegal to allow your dog to
shit in public?

Because you fools like to tell everyone what they can and cannot do.

No, because shit STINKS.

Like walk around the shops stark naked etc.

Tho in your case that so everyone else doesn't die laughing.

I have no objection to people wearing clothes, so why should they object to me being naked?

and plenty of those fools hang the bag with the dog shit in it on a
tree or something,
even worse than leaving it on the ground.

I guess they think the council will collect them.

Much more likely that they don't want to carry it around.

Well it is fucking disgusting. Animals should learn to use flush
toilets.

Turns out its quite easy to get a cat to do that, but you don't
bother. You let them shit in the neighbours gardens and yours.

Very few people have managed to train their cat to use a toilet,

Bullshit.

WTF? Most cats do not ever use a human toilet.

Separate issue to how many have tried to train them to do that.

I've heard of very few.

let alone use the flush handle.

Even you should be able to manage that.

But a cat lacks dexterity.

That's why you do that, stupid.

Every time a cat goes?

And to be fair, some places could do with more bins - how far would
you
carry one?

I'm not actually silly enough to collect dog shit
and even you arent actually silly enough to collect
the shit your cats leave in the neighbour's gardens.

So you just leave it for someone to stand in?

No one is stupid enough to stand in it

Then why do you think there's a fine for letting your dog shit?

Because some fools love to have stupid rules.

Or maybe they find shit disgusting.

Your poor toilet training is your problem.

Why should I have to train the stupid fuckers how to do the most basic bodily function?

Same with the even more stupid rule that
the dog must be on a lead at all times.

Only fools take any notice of stupid rules like that.

It's to prevent angry dogs hurting other dogs, or farm animals.

Nope. And the dogs arent angry.

Well a lot of them are fucking vicious for one reason or another. I've often seen one person's dog attack another person's dog, both still on leads, both owners frantically trying to stop them. And no, neither were "known vicious breeds".

and you leave you cat shit for someone to stand in.

Cats tend to do it in flowerbeds. It doesn't get stood in, just all
over
the hands of people weeding the garden

Which is a lot worse than getting it on your shoe.

When you're weeding a flowerbed, you're paying attention to where your
hands go.

But cat shit isnt always that obvious.

I can smell it a mile away.

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for
them
were
already obeying the speed limit.

I don't.

Don't slow down for them or don't obey the speed limit?

Don't obey the speed limit but do slow down for them.

Are you one of those annoying people who slow down and speed up for
every one?

Depends on the bump. The ones down the
main street don't need to slow down much
and we only have one racetrack road which
has a 3 on it and those you don't have to
slow down if you are going at the speed limit.

Do you have those stupid square ones?

Nope, we arent that stupid. Ours are mostly part of the road.

The ones on the racetrack road are 3 big metal plates
bent in a hump bolted to the road. With those you can
center the car over the plate, have the wheels go down
each side of the plate and get no real bump at all.

That's what I meant by square ones.

OK.

The only ones that could make me slow down are those which go right across
the road. Even with those, a lot of them have a gap on the edge to allow
water flow, so I place one wheel there and the car just lifts on one side.

That doesn't work with parked cars.

I had a go at the council once for that. The only place left to park in a busy street was straddling a bump. This meant my car was tilted over, so when I opened the door it scraped against the pavement. I sent them the bill for some paint and never heard back. Councils operate above the law.

If you straddle them well, you can go about double the limit.

We arent stupid enough to have any like that.

You just said "With those you can center the car over the plate, have the
wheels go down each side of the plate and get no real bump at all."

And for any bump, if you accelerate as you hit it, you lift the front of
your car up and glide over it.

Bullshit.

Don't you understand the laws of physics? When you accelerate, the front
of your car lifts.

No it doesn't with front wheel drive car.

Yes it does. Most of my cars have been front wheel drive, and they all lift the nose when accelerating and drop when braking. It's simple angular momentum, you're rotating the wheels forwards, so the car wants to rotate backwards. Front or rear wheel drive won't make a blind bit of difference to this. Are you seriously telling me when you do an emergency stop your car doesn't tilt forwards?!?

It does make it easy to overtake though.

Nope, all of ours are on roads with only
one lane in each direction and the main
street is a fully divided road, no overtaking.

What do you mean fully divided?

Massive great double width carpark
down the center, with full sized trees.
https://goo.gl/maps/SWUsDGv3CP27Udsx7

That's a rather heavily built up area.

Unsurprising given that it's the main street.

Too busy to overtake on main streets anyway, I was talking about quieter roads.

Those buggers must be reading my posts,
the streetview has just been updated, 18
months after the car was visible here.

But only on the main street, the rest of town is is still 11 years old.
The camera must have broken while zooming round town I spose because I
did see it where the street view hasn't been updated.

Maybe they're just behind schedule.

By 11 years ?

In fact when checking the dates I discovered something
I hadn't noticed previously, that some parts of town were
done in 2008 and some in 2010. No obvious reason for
that that its in the wilds of rural australia.

Who knows how many staff thy have or what other jobs they have to do.

That pedestrian crossing is one of the speed bumps.

We have speed bumps with no warnings. Nothing painted on the road at all,

We do too, but there are signs on polls before those.
All too new to be on the latest street view that only
covers a few of the main roads which don't have
speed bumps except down the main street.

The problem is the paint wears off in a few years, and they don't replace it.

or it's worn off. And some are three times the size of the others.

We only have the two types and only 3 lots of what
you call square ones, all on the one raceway road.

My council likes to use many many different types, presumably to catch us unawares. Ambulances hate them, but the council ignores their wishes too.

There's a road near here with a 20mph limit.

We do have 40kmph limits outside schools but
the limit only applys for 90 minutes at the start
and end of the school day so no speed bumps.

Apparently the temporary 20 limits around schools here are only advisory.. I take great delight in going 30 past the speed camera they put there during school lunchtimes.

Don't you have any permanent 20mph limits? We have them in about half the built up areas.

All the bumps except one, you can go about 30-40. But that one is a nasty
bugger, anything over 5mph and you scrape your car to pieces. It's
literally a foot high.

Show us the streetview.

https://goo.gl/maps/bWv8y7JTQQvCr5Kh8

It doesn't actually look violent from the camera, but I've gone over it at 20mph (the speed limit) and almost destroyed my car. It must be combination of the height and the width of it, at 20 your car lifts up suddenly then drops again, the front bumper actually hits the road. Every the bump on the road is about three times less violent - which is what makes that one so bad, you're not expecting it. I actually have to go between 5 and 10 to get over it without nasty scraping noises.

I can't understand how anyone with a Porsche etc (and it's a posh area so
there must be some) can get over it at all.

Not just a posh car, there isnt a foot clearance under the
Getz as I discovered, even the shortest bottle jacks don't fit.

Don't you have trouble with speedbumps? My Golf had been lowered by the previous owner, I scraped the engine cover on every bump, even slowing to the limit. I refused to go slower than the limit.

I'd love to buy an expensive car, ground it on a bump, then get the
council to pay for the Ł1000s of damage.

The magistrate would tell you to go and fuck
yourself in appropriately bureaucratic language.

They shouldn't. The council is criminally damaging cars. If you cannot drive every single road legal car over a bump at the speed limit, then the bump is wrongly designed.

Nobody gonna stop me overtaking in a built up area.

They will there when the car in front of you is in the middle
of the road and they always are. There isnt room to get past.

Why would someone be driving in the middle of the road?

Because that road isnt wide enough for two lanes of traffic.

What happens when someone comes the other way?

Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.

And get to pay for the repairs to their cars.

Suspension is designed for that.

Wrong.

What do you think it's for?

Normal variations in the road surface.

It can handle much more than that.

Have fun explaining why potholes can fuck it.

Never had suspension fail on a pothole.

You don't understand what potholes do
to shock absorbers. It doesn't snap off.

Only time I've replaced shock absorbers was when they snapped, and they were always old rusty ones.

The only time I've had to replace suspension was when it was old and
rusty. It can take quite a knock otherwise.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that
you are no mechanic. It has nothing to do with rust.

Its normally the shock absorbers that get fucked by fools
like you deliberately slamming into the road bumps.

No, every time I've had a shock replaced, I've seen the old one and it was
rusted to hell.

Rust on outside of a shock absorber is irrelevant.

I've never busted a relatively new one.

You have in fact fucked them all by tearing across speed bumps.

No, they were clearly all old and rusted a long way through.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet..

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of pissing on the monitor.

The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it
doesn't
use
up the memory for a month.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to piss.

They tend to choose favourite places.

Unlikely that particular cat did.

Why do you say that?

Because this is the only time its pissed on that monitor.

No it isn't. It's just the only time it seeped into the LCD panel.

Wow! It's shrinking! I guess it hadn't peeled off the polarizer as I
thought.

Yeah, looks more like liquid between layers of plastic.

Odd that it makes the image completely black. That's why I thought it was the polarizer as someone else suggested.

Must just be damp and shorting something. It's drying out, it's going
away!

The cat will be along soon to piss on it again.

The camera is at the ready.

The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not
distinguishable
from running out of energy.

Of course its distinguishable from the context.

It still makes you look like an American dumbass.

Only to fools like you.

I use proper English.

I couldn't care less what stupid poms claim is proper english.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.

But I know how to spell it properly.

I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it
that
way.

We invented the language.

Nope, you stole it from everyone else.

It's called English, because it's from England.

Wrong again, and it isnt from that soggy little
frigid island anyway, its stolen from all sorts
of places all over the world, even from the pakis.

We combined several languages

Had many fancy words imposed by those unspeakable
Normans with the worst of the grovellers to the Norman
invaders choosing to use norman words when english
already had perfectly serviceable words like fuck and
arse and dick etc already.

We still use fuck and arse and dick, what are you talking about?

and made the universal language that most of the world uses.

But had quite a bit of the world that used that language choose
to bin some of the sillier aspects of it and do their own.

Yeah the stoopid yanks fucked everything up, they call solder sodder.
There is an L!

And you lot have always had plenty of unique regional words
that hardly any of the rest of england, let alone the rest of the
world had even heard of too.

And we laugh at those morons, specifically the Glaswegians.

That's the way living languages work.

Only the stupid frogs have ever been actually stupid enough
to have a handful of stuffed shirts proclaim what words can
and cannot be used and how they must be spelt.

France has regional dialects too. I met a bloke who said sink instead of
sank (as in the number 5, cinq).

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation, because
it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.

I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse. But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I expect something more adult.

Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account, all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard of posting photos of their MacDonalds meal. Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone, email, or speak to in person.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just "tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either.

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one. They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages
who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to
change
a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

Most garages are best avoided.

I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock
and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're cheap.

Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.

I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

The point is, is it a rare car for that area?

Dunno given that I can't remember what it was.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.

Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

How do those things link together?

If they keep stock of whatever they have ever been asked for,
that will obviously cost more than only keeping the most popular
tires in stock and ordering in the unusual ones as required. So they
will obviously be able to flog me the tires I use cheaper.

Or add the price onto the unusual ones only.

Not going to work when they never sell another of those.

Then they shouldn't buy another. They should tell the owner of the weird car to buy a normal one.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either.

Most people have no clue how to fix anything on a car.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT, and
they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts, handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on his
own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading bodies,
and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.

We fit them ourselves.

I'm a shit mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.

I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

Lucky you.

No luck involved.

It's a saying.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

But after what Clare and 'Arlen' have said about high end kraut cars,
it
will be interesting to see what else ends up needing fixing over time.

Him and his son had previously had 3 Hyundai Grandeurs
that also cost them peanuts and ended up with 2 good ones
and have cost them nothing because they have sold what
parts they didn't need themselves of the third on ebay etc.

Only German car I've had was VW,

Same here.

that was reliable

Nothing like as reliable as the Getz which had no warranty claims what
so ever. The Golf did, and more than one as well. Important ones too..

But since my 73 Golf, things got much worse.

and cheap parts.

Yeah, but the Getz is even cheaper.

Never owned a Hyundai so I don't know what they're like. But if it makes
me drive half the speed limit like the rest of the moronic owners around
here,

It doesn't. Only one of the garage salers
can keep up with me and she's dead now.

Why is it every Hyundai I've seen in the UK is driving very slowly? They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

no thanks!

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an exhaust
bracket (Ł3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for Ł2), then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street
verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing
up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on
the
lead!)
to piss on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's pissing.

Doesn't stop it pissing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.

I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Then I guess you have a well behaved dog.

I have never been silly enough to walk any dog like that.

Some dogs are so fucking stupid that if you take them out without a
lead,
they attack, maim, injure, or kill other dogs.

I have enough of a clue to be selective about the breeds I have.

Why do you think people smack their kids?

Dogs work differently to kids.

No, they learn just like us.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

I know many people with dogs and have seen them train out bad behaviour.

Not pissing on things you havent. You'll
never train a male dog to never do that
when out walking not on a lead.

Or to not sniff things either.

If you kick it hard enough, it'll never do it again.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Try that with mine and you'd end up dead, quite literally.

So you don't have control over your own pet? Oh dear.

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?

Because they like doing it with fetching.

And they like sitting?

Yep, do it regularly.

Only when they feel like it.

Nope, also when they know they will
be rewarded for doing that like with
the drug and currency sniffing dogs

Slave labour. They ought to rebel and refuse to hunt down people using naturally occuring plants.

And shitting in the correct place?

Plenty of dogs do choose to do what they decide that
their master wants them to do. Cats don't work like that.

Mine do. 8 of my 9 cats now shit correctly.

Not when you tell them to.

Because I tell them to. They know if they do it in the wrong place I get angry.

I doubt it. They do it because it pleases the leader of the pack (you).

That's not why they fetch. They like chasing things and bring
it back so you can chuck it again and they can chase it again.

The stupid dogs fetch it then run off with it.

Nope, dogs don't do that.

I was at a friend's house the other day, I threw a toy across the room and it picked it up. It wouldn't give it back to me. Or my friend. She said it always does that.

You have to train it to bring it to you.

Bullshit you do with the worst of them.

They bring it to you to get you to chuck it again.

Actually that's pretty stupid. They already possess the toy, why give it to you so you can give it back?

I've even had dogs at garage sales do it, bring
you something they want you to chuck for them.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

Lack of dexterity.

Nope, they arent into getting humans to chuck
something so they can bring it back endlessly.

Because they don't see the point. I don't either, I wouldn't enjoy
throwing something for my dog over and over again.

Irrelevant to why dogs like to do that.

Why do they like it?

Some of them do bring you a present of something
they have killed. Dogs don't do that instinctively.

A couple of mine did that twice each. They won't do it again.

Because you are a psychopath.

No, I prefer to not have local wildlife murdered. They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

Either you're a good law abiding citizen or you're not.

Its not that black and white, most obviously with the
fools that hang their bags of dog shit on trees etc.

I see nothing wrong with that,

Yes, you actually are that stupid.

they're preventing someone from treading in it.

But now you can walk right into the turd.

It's in a bag on a tree, why on earth would you walk into that? Much
less
likely than treading on the shit that isn't in a bag.

And it doesn't smell inside the bag.

If I blindfolded you, you wouldn't be able
to pick where a turd was on the ground.

Agreed, your point being?

That even you should be able to look where you are walking
and not actually roll in the turd like some dogs do.

Most people like to enjoy the scenery, not have to watch their feet.

Most can actually manage to enjoy the scenery and not trip over
something that happens to be where they are walking towards.

Your eyes cannot clearly view ahead and below simultaneously.

They don't need to. The turd will be visible long before you get
to it and even you should then be able to avoid stepping on it.

If what you said was true, why is it even illegal to allow your dog to
shit in public?

Because you fools like to tell everyone what they can and cannot do.

No, because shit STINKS.

Like I said, even you wouldn't be able to tell me when there
is a turd around if I blindfolded you when out walking
and led you around on a lead like the dog you are.

If you could, there would be no need for anyone to collect
dog turds because you could smell them coming and could
THEN stare just in front of your feet until the smell was gone.

Like walk around the shops stark naked etc.

Tho in your case that so everyone else doesn't die laughing.

I have no objection to people wearing clothes, so why should they object
to me being naked?

Because they don't want to have to collect all the
corpses of those who have died laughing and do
the paperwork listing why they died there etc.

and plenty of those fools hang the bag with the dog shit in it on
a
tree or something,
even worse than leaving it on the ground.

I guess they think the council will collect them.

Much more likely that they don't want to carry it around.

Well it is fucking disgusting. Animals should learn to use flush
toilets.

Turns out its quite easy to get a cat to do that, but you don't
bother. You let them shit in the neighbours gardens and yours.

Very few people have managed to train their cat to use a toilet,

Bullshit.

WTF? Most cats do not ever use a human toilet.

Separate issue to how many have tried to train them to do that.

I've heard of very few.

Because most don't bother to even try.

let alone use the flush handle.

Even you should be able to manage that.

But a cat lacks dexterity.

That's why you do that, stupid.

Every time a cat goes?

Every time before you need to use it yourself.

And to be fair, some places could do with more bins - how far
would
you
carry one?

I'm not actually silly enough to collect dog shit
and even you arent actually silly enough to collect
the shit your cats leave in the neighbour's gardens.

So you just leave it for someone to stand in?

No one is stupid enough to stand in it

Then why do you think there's a fine for letting your dog shit?

Because some fools love to have stupid rules.

Or maybe they find shit disgusting.

Your poor toilet training is your problem.

Why should I have to train the stupid fuckers how to do the most basic
bodily function?

It was the lousy toilet training that your 'parents'
did that's the problem.

Same with the even more stupid rule that
the dog must be on a lead at all times.

Only fools take any notice of stupid rules like that.

It's to prevent angry dogs hurting other dogs, or farm animals.

Nope. And the dogs arent angry.

Well a lot of them are fucking vicious for one reason or another.

Fuck all of them are. The ones that are were bred like that.

I've often seen one person's dog attack another person's dog, both still
on leads, both owners frantically trying to stop them.

I've only seen it a couple of times and that's
over twice as long as you've been doing it for.

And no, neither were "known vicious breeds".

and you leave you cat shit for someone to stand in.

Cats tend to do it in flowerbeds. It doesn't get stood in, just all
over
the hands of people weeding the garden

Which is a lot worse than getting it on your shoe.

When you're weeding a flowerbed, you're paying attention to where your
hands go.

But cat shit isnt always that obvious.

I can smell it a mile away.

Don't believe you. If you could, you wouldn't keep stepping on it.

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for
them were already obeying the speed limit.

I don't.

Don't slow down for them or don't obey the speed limit?

Don't obey the speed limit but do slow down for them.

Are you one of those annoying people who slow down and speed up for
every one?

Depends on the bump. The ones down the
main street don't need to slow down much
and we only have one racetrack road which
has a 3 on it and those you don't have to
slow down if you are going at the speed limit.

Do you have those stupid square ones?

Nope, we arent that stupid. Ours are mostly part of the road.

The ones on the racetrack road are 3 big metal plates
bent in a hump bolted to the road. With those you can
center the car over the plate, have the wheels go down
each side of the plate and get no real bump at all.

That's what I meant by square ones.

OK.

The only ones that could make me slow down are those which go right
across
the road. Even with those, a lot of them have a gap on the edge to
allow
water flow, so I place one wheel there and the car just lifts on one
side.

That doesn't work with parked cars.

I had a go at the council once for that. The only place left to park in a
busy street was straddling a bump. This meant my car was tilted over, so
when I opened the door it scraped against the pavement. I sent them the
bill for some paint and never heard back.

Cant imagine why for the life of me.

> Councils operate above the law.

Nope, the law says that if you do something
that stupid, you get to pay for the paint yourself.

If you straddle them well, you can go about double the limit.

We arent stupid enough to have any like that.

You just said "With those you can center the car over the plate, have
the
wheels go down each side of the plate and get no real bump at all."

And for any bump, if you accelerate as you hit it, you lift the front
of
your car up and glide over it.

Bullshit.

Don't you understand the laws of physics? When you accelerate, the
front
of your car lifts.

No it doesn't with front wheel drive car.

Yes it does.

Corse it doesn't.

Most of my cars have been front wheel drive, and they all lift the nose
when accelerating

Bullshit they do.

> and drop when braking. It's simple angular momentum,

Nope.

> you're rotating the wheels forwards, so the car wants to rotate backwards.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

> Front or rear wheel drive won't make a blind bit of difference to this.

Corse it does when the driven wheels are at a different end.

Are you seriously telling me when you do an emergency stop your car
doesn't tilt forwards?!?

I am seriously telling you that when I accelerate the front of
the car doesn't go any higher with a front wheel drive car.

It does make it easy to overtake though.

Nope, all of ours are on roads with only
one lane in each direction and the main
street is a fully divided road, no overtaking.

What do you mean fully divided?

Massive great double width carpark
down the center, with full sized trees.
https://goo.gl/maps/SWUsDGv3CP27Udsx7

That's a rather heavily built up area.

Unsurprising given that it's the main street.

Too busy to overtake on main streets anyway, I was talking about quieter
roads.

You normally can't overtake on this one either.
https://goo.gl/maps/oUpaxRZ4X32eXbCh6

Those buggers must be reading my posts,
the streetview has just been updated, 18
months after the car was visible here.

But only on the main street, the rest of town is is still 11 years old.
The camera must have broken while zooming round town I spose because I
did see it where the street view hasn't been updated.

Maybe they're just behind schedule.

By 11 years ?

In fact when checking the dates I discovered something
I hadn't noticed previously, that some parts of town were
done in 2008 and some in 2010. No obvious reason for
that that its in the wilds of rural australia.

Who knows how many staff thy have or what other jobs they have to do.

That isnt the problem, it makes no sense to drive the long
distances to get to my town more often than you need to.

That pedestrian crossing is one of the speed bumps.

We have speed bumps with no warnings. Nothing painted on the road at
all,

We do too, but there are signs on poles before those.
All too new to be on the latest street view that only
covers a few of the main roads which don't have
speed bumps except down the main street.

The problem is the paint wears off in a few years, and they don't replace
it.

We do with the pedestrian crossings and we don't
paint the full width speed bumps in the first place.

or it's worn off. And some are three times the size of the others.

We only have the two types and only 3 lots of what
you call square ones, all on the one raceway road.

My council likes to use many many different types, presumably to catch us
unawares.

More likely to see which ones last longer.

> Ambulances hate them,

Ours don't and a mate of mine is an ambulance driver.

> but the council ignores their wishes too.

Because they realise that its only physical devices
like that that have any effect on fools like you.

There's a road near here with a 20mph limit.

We do have 40kmph limits outside schools but
the limit only applys for 90 minutes at the start
and end of the school day so no speed bumps.

Apparently the temporary 20 limits around schools here are only advisory.
I take great delight in going 30 past the speed camera they put there
during school lunchtimes.

Don't you have any permanent 20mph limits?

We do have a couple where there are sometimes
massive numbers of parked cars and kids going
from the parked cars, like here.
https://goo.gl/maps/6rPrL96KbnqDpM1s8

That now has a carpark and big collection of
exercise equipment right on the corner that
went in well after that street view.
https://www.google.com/maps/@-34.2741524,146.0744697,152m/data=!3m1!1e3

> We have them in about half the built up areas.

We don't have anything like but the all
those streets do have a 50kmph limit;.

All the bumps except one, you can go about 30-40. But that one is a
nasty
bugger, anything over 5mph and you scrape your car to pieces. It's
literally a foot high.

Show us the streetview.

https://goo.gl/maps/bWv8y7JTQQvCr5Kh8

That one isnt a foot high and you can see that by comparing it with the
curb.

It doesn't actually look violent from the camera, but I've gone over it at
20mph (the speed limit) and almost destroyed my car.

Don't believe that it almost destroyed your car.

It must be combination of the height and the width of it, at 20 your car
lifts up suddenly then drops again, the front bumper actually hits the
road.

In which model car ? Must be one of those steaming turd with wheels frog
cars.

Every the bump on the road is about three times less violent - which is
what makes that one so bad, you're not expecting it. I actually have to
go between 5 and 10 to get over it without nasty scraping noises.

Only because it's a steaming turd with wheels frog car.

I do catch the air dam on the front of the Getz
at this one unless I go thru it at about 20kmph.
As you can see ifs on the road down from the
hill and has quite a river down it in a deluge.

I can't understand how anyone with a Porsche etc (and it's a posh area
so there must be some) can get over it at all.

Not just a posh car, there isnt a foot clearance under the
Getz as I discovered, even the shortest bottle jacks don't fit.

Don't you have trouble with speedbumps?

Nope.

> My Golf had been lowered by the previous owner,

At the front ?

I scraped the engine cover on every bump, even slowing to the limit. I
refused to go slower than the limit.

And that's why you fucked it. Smart move.

I'd love to buy an expensive car, ground it on a bump, then get the
council to pay for the Ł1000s of damage.

The magistrate would tell you to go and fuck
yourself in appropriately bureaucratic language.

They shouldn't. The council is criminally damaging cars.

Don't believe it with that one. And legally it isnt criminal damage.

If you cannot drive every single road legal car over a bump at the speed
limit, then the bump is wrongly designed.

Not possible check that all legal cars can get over
it at the speed limit and that's why the magistrate
will tell you to go and fuck yourself.

Nobody gonna stop me overtaking in a built up area.

They will there when the car in front of you is in the middle
of the road and they always are. There isnt room to get past.

Why would someone be driving in the middle of the road?

Because that road isnt wide enough for two lanes of traffic.

What happens when someone comes the other way?

That's a fully divided road, the cars coming the
other way are on the other side of those cars
parked in the middle at right angles to the traffic.

Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.

And get to pay for the repairs to their cars.

Suspension is designed for that.

Wrong.

What do you think it's for?

Normal variations in the road surface.

It can handle much more than that.

Have fun explaining why potholes can fuck it.

Never had suspension fail on a pothole.

You don't understand what potholes do
to shock absorbers. It doesn't snap off.

Only time I've replaced shock absorbers was when they snapped,

Because you are actually stupid enough to tear over
the speed bumps at twice the speed limit, on purpose.

> and they were always old rusty ones.

That wasn't why they snapped.

The only time I've had to replace suspension was when it was old and
rusty. It can take quite a knock otherwise.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that
you are no mechanic. It has nothing to do with rust.

Its normally the shock absorbers that get fucked by fools
like you deliberately slamming into the road bumps.

No, every time I've had a shock replaced, I've seen the old one and it
was
rusted to hell.

Rust on outside of a shock absorber is irrelevant.

I've never busted a relatively new one.

You have in fact fucked them all by tearing across speed bumps.

No, they were clearly all old and rusted a long way through.

Must be the frog cars.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of pissing on the monitor.

The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it
doesn't
use
up the memory for a month.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to piss.

They tend to choose favourite places.

Unlikely that particular cat did.

Why do you say that?

Because this is the only time its pissed on that monitor.

No it isn't. It's just the only time it seeped into the LCD panel.

Wow! It's shrinking! I guess it hadn't peeled off the polarizer as I
thought.

Yeah, looks more like liquid between layers of plastic.

Odd that it makes the image completely black.

Presumably its where the piss is in electrical
contact with the lcd and stops them being
transparent to the backlight there.

That's why I thought it was the polarizer as someone else suggested.

Must just be damp and shorting something. It's drying out, it's going
away!

The cat will be along soon to piss on it again.

The camera is at the ready.

Why wasn't it at the ready when the cat pissed on
it given that you say it has pissed on it before ?

The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not
distinguishable
from running out of energy.

Of course its distinguishable from the context.

It still makes you look like an American dumbass.

Only to fools like you.

I use proper English.

I couldn't care less what stupid poms claim is proper english.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.

But I know how to spell it properly.

I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it
that
way.

We invented the language.

Nope, you stole it from everyone else.

It's called English, because it's from England.

Wrong again, and it isnt from that soggy little
frigid island anyway, its stolen from all sorts
of places all over the world, even from the pakis.

We combined several languages

Had many fancy words imposed by those unspeakable
Normans with the worst of the grovellers to the Norman
invaders choosing to use norman words when english
already had perfectly serviceable words like fuck and
arse and dick etc already.

We still use fuck and arse and dick, what are you talking about?

and made the universal language that most of the world uses.

But had quite a bit of the world that used that language choose
to bin some of the sillier aspects of it and do their own.

Yeah the stoopid yanks fucked everything up, they call solder sodder.
There is an L!

And you lot have always had plenty of unique regional words
that hardly any of the rest of england, let alone the rest of the
world had even heard of too.

And we laugh at those morons, specifically the Glaswegians.

That's the way living languages work.

Only the stupid frogs have ever been actually stupid enough
to have a handful of stuffed shirts proclaim what words can
and cannot be used and how they must be spelt.

France has regional dialects too. I met a bloke who said sink instead
of
sank (as in the number 5, cinq).

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation,
because
it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.

I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse.

IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching
kids how to spell correctly with a language which
has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign
languages. What matters is whether the meaning is
clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly
with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I expect
something more adult.

More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook
post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.

In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world
uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.

> Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,

More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap
or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard of
posting photos of their MacDonalds meal.

Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook
is a convenient way to keep track of what those who
have moved away from this town are currently up to.

Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone, email, or
speak to in person.

Plenty use messenger just as effectively
and plenty don't have an email.

And you don't get to see most who are getting
rid of what they don't need anymore without
the local facebook buy swap sell groups.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just
"tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

The real world is about more than just conversations;

I don't personally use twitter because
I think the character limit is stupid.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either.

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

But its normally obvious from the context which is intended.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one.

Wrong, as always. Most whose
first language isnt english do too.

They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

So do you hairy legged cross dressing haggis gorgers.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is
garages
who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me
a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to
change
a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

Most garages are best avoided.

I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock
and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're
cheap.

Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.

I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

The point is, is it a rare car for that area?

Dunno given that I can't remember what it was.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.

Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

How do those things link together?

If they keep stock of whatever they have ever been asked for,
that will obviously cost more than only keeping the most popular
tires in stock and ordering in the unusual ones as required. So they
will obviously be able to flog me the tires I use cheaper.

Or add the price onto the unusual ones only.

Not going to work when they never sell another of those.

Then they shouldn't buy another.

They need at least 4 of anything they might
sell because plenty change all 4 or 5 at once.

> They should tell the owner of the weird car to buy a normal one.

Great way to get the customer to come back for their future tires.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either.

Most people have no clue how to fix anything on a car.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT, and
they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts,
handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on
his
own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading
bodies,
and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.

We fit them ourselves.

I'm a shit mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.

I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

Lucky you.

No luck involved.

It's a saying.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

But after what Clare and 'Arlen' have said about high end kraut cars,
it
will be interesting to see what else ends up needing fixing over
time.

Him and his son had previously had 3 Hyundai Grandeurs
that also cost them peanuts and ended up with 2 good ones
and have cost them nothing because they have sold what
parts they didn't need themselves of the third on ebay etc.

Only German car I've had was VW,

Same here.

that was reliable

Nothing like as reliable as the Getz which had no warranty claims what
so ever. The Golf did, and more than one as well. Important ones too.

But since my 73 Golf, things got much worse.

and cheap parts.

Yeah, but the Getz is even cheaper.

Never owned a Hyundai so I don't know what they're like. But if it
makes
me drive half the speed limit like the rest of the moronic owners around
here,

It doesn't. Only one of the garage salers
can keep up with me and she's dead now.

Why is it every Hyundai I've seen in the UK is driving very slowly?

Don't believe that and it certainly doesn't happen here.

> They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

Doesn't happen with volvos here either.

Ours are mostly driven by what we call squatters,
the rich end of farmers and the don't crawl along
in their volvos.

no thanks!

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an
exhaust
bracket (Ł3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for Ł2),
then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both
things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street
verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and
bailing
up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still
on
the
lead!)
to piss on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's pissing.

Doesn't stop it pissing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.

I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Then I guess you have a well behaved dog.

I have never been silly enough to walk any dog like that.

Some dogs are so fucking stupid that if you take them out without a
lead,
they attack, maim, injure, or kill other dogs.

I have enough of a clue to be selective about the breeds I have.

Why do you think people smack their kids?

Dogs work differently to kids.

No, they learn just like us.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

I know many people with dogs and have seen them train out bad
behaviour.

Not pissing on things you havent. You'll
never train a male dog to never do that
when out walking not on a lead.

Or to not sniff things either.

If you kick it hard enough, it'll never do it again.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Try that with mine and you'd end up dead, quite literally.

So you don't have control over your own pet?

I'm not actually stupid enough to try kicking an immense
great alsatian that weighs almost as much as me.

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?

Because they like doing it with fetching.

And they like sitting?

Yep, do it regularly.

Only when they feel like it.

Nope, also when they know they will
be rewarded for doing that like with
the drug and currency sniffing dogs

Slave labour.

You are too.

They ought to rebel and refuse to hunt down people using naturally
occuring plants.

Currency isnt a naturally occurring plant, unfortunately.

And shitting in the correct place?

Plenty of dogs do choose to do what they decide that
their master wants them to do. Cats don't work like that.

Mine do. 8 of my 9 cats now shit correctly.

Not when you tell them to.

Because I tell them to. They know if they do it in the wrong place I get
angry.

Hasn't stopped that cat pissing on your monitor.

I doubt it. They do it because it pleases the leader of the pack
(you).

That's not why they fetch. They like chasing things and bring
it back so you can chuck it again and they can chase it again.

The stupid dogs fetch it then run off with it.

Nope, dogs don't do that.

I was at a friend's house the other day, I threw a toy across the room and
it picked it up. It wouldn't give it back to me. Or my friend. She said
it always does that.

Yeah, plenty of dogs operate like that, it's a game to them.

They do it with other dogs too, have a tug of war.

That's the way those drug and currency sniffer dogs
are rewarded, they get to have a tug of war with
the handler over a big sewn up cloth/canvas thing.

You have to train it to bring it to you.

Bullshit you do with the worst of them.

They bring it to you to get you to chuck it again.

Actually that's pretty stupid. They already possess the toy, why give it
to you so you can give it back?

It isnt the giving back, they enjoy chasing
it when you throw it and want you to
throw it more so they can chase it more.

I've even had dogs at garage sales do it, bring
you something they want you to chuck for them.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

Lack of dexterity.

Nope, they arent into getting humans to chuck
something so they can bring it back endlessly.

Because they don't see the point. I don't either, I wouldn't enjoy
throwing something for my dog over and over again.

Irrelevant to why dogs like to do that.

Why do they like it?

They like chasing things. Cats like tormenting small things like mice.

Some of them do bring you a present of something
they have killed. Dogs don't do that instinctively.

A couple of mine did that twice each. They won't do it again.

Because you are a psychopath.

No, I prefer to not have local wildlife murdered.

All you are doing is stopping them bring the corpse
to you as a gift. They still murder the wildlife.

> They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

But they enjoy doing that anyway.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation,
because
it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.

I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse.

IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching
kids how to spell correctly with a language which
has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign
languages. What matters is whether the meaning is
clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly
with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

I agree on its and it's. In fact I often deliberately write it's if something belongs to it.

Oh and spelt instead of spelled too. Why have more than one past tense?

But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I expect
something more adult.

More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook
post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.

Every so often you get ambiguousness.

In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world
uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.

No, only the stoopid yanks.

Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,

More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap
or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

No, I get free and cheap local big stuff on freecycle, freegle, and gumtree. Smaller things I get on Ebay. Facebook just isn't designed for selling, it's a chatroom.

all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard of
posting photos of their MacDonalds meal.

Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook
is a convenient way to keep track of what those who
have moved away from this town are currently up to.

Can't you communicate with them directly? I talk to my friends by email and phone.

Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone, email, or
speak to in person.

Plenty use messenger just as effectively
and plenty don't have an email.

Everybody has email, apart from those not on the internet at all.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just
"tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

The real world is about more than just conversations;

What's the point in a tweet without a reply?

I don't personally use twitter because
I think the character limit is stupid.

Agreed on that.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either.

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

But its normally obvious from the context which is intended.

All of what you've written in this thread is perfectly intelligible. You're not making an arse of your spelling like most Facebook users do.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one.

Wrong, as always. Most whose
first language isnt english do too.

They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

So do you hairy legged cross dressing haggis gorgers.

Only if you include Glasgow. Someone please bomb it.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is
garages
who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me
a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to
change
a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

Most garages are best avoided.

I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock
and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're
cheap.

Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.

I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

The point is, is it a rare car for that area?

Dunno given that I can't remember what it was.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.

Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

How do those things link together?

If they keep stock of whatever they have ever been asked for,
that will obviously cost more than only keeping the most popular
tires in stock and ordering in the unusual ones as required. So they
will obviously be able to flog me the tires I use cheaper.

Or add the price onto the unusual ones only.

Not going to work when they never sell another of those.

Then they shouldn't buy another.

They need at least 4 of anything they might
sell because plenty change all 4 or 5 at once.

They don't all wear out at once. I change one at a time.

They should tell the owner of the weird car to buy a normal one.

Great way to get the customer to come back for their future tires.

Who cares about someone who has different tyres to everyone else?

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that..

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either..

It certainly does here. It's the sort of attitude some people have. They buy cars which are good value, and also adhere to rules like speed limits. People like me who drive fast tend to either drive sports cars or old bangers.

They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

Doesn't happen with volvos here either.

Ours are mostly driven by what we call squatters,

Rich farmers here drive Range Rovers, and yes they go fast.

No they don't, as they can't be bothered eating it with feathers on, they prefer prepared meat.

They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

But they enjoy doing that anyway.

No, they do it because they think they're giving me raw materials to make the catfood.

am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the
context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse.

IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching
kids how to spell correctly with a language which
has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign
languages. What matters is whether the meaning is
clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly
with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

I agree on its and it's. In fact I often deliberately write it's if
something belongs to it.

Oh and spelt instead of spelled too. Why have more than one past tense?

Because of english having so many stolen words in it.

Same with fora/forums etc too.

But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I expect
something more adult.

More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook
post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.

Every so often you get ambiguousness.

Not often enough to matter so it makes no sense
to be spending countless hours making kids spell
stuff so there can be no ambiguity.

In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world
uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.

No, only the stoopid yanks.

Wrong, as always.

Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,

More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap
or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

No, I get free and cheap local big stuff on freecycle, freegle, and
gumtree.

The facebook buy swap sell groups leave those for dead.

The gumtree UI is fucked in comparison.

> Smaller things I get on Ebay.

You get fuck all free stuff on ebay and no fee is
involved with facebook buy swap sell groups.

> Facebook just isn't designed for selling,

Wrong, as always.

> it's a chatroom.

Wrong, as always.

all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard of
posting photos of their MacDonalds meal.

Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook
is a convenient way to keep track of what those who
have moved away from this town are currently up to.

Can't you communicate with them directly?

Corse I can, but its much more convenient for them
to list what they have been up to and have all of
their friends see that and respond if they want to.

> I talk to my friends by email and phone.

I do too, and using facebook and messenger as well.

Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone, email,
or speak to in person.

Plenty use messenger just as effectively
and plenty don't have an email.

Everybody has email, apart from those not on the internet at all.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Mate of mine does everything on his phone, has no fixed net service at all.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just
"tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

The real world is about more than just conversations;

What's the point in a tweet without a reply?

With plenty its just like a blog, done differently.

And with plenty they tweet news that they have
observed personally like when they have just
been personally involved in a terrorist incident.

The christchurch arsehole broadcast
his atrocity live on facebook.

I don't personally use twitter because
I think the character limit is stupid.

Agreed on that.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either.

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

But its normally obvious from the context which is intended.

All of what you've written in this thread is perfectly intelligible.

Their ads on facebook for draws etc are too.

> You're not making an arse of your spelling like most Facebook users do.

Only you OCDs obsess about about spelling.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one.

Wrong, as always. Most whose
first language isnt english do too.

They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

So do you hairy legged cross dressing haggis gorgers.

Only if you include Glasgow.

Bullshit.

> Someone please bomb it.

As Connelly pointed out, it would make no difference.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is
garages
who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold
me
a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to
change
a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

Most garages are best avoided.

I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in
stock
and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're
cheap.

Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one
customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.

I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

The point is, is it a rare car for that area?

Dunno given that I can't remember what it was.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.

Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

How do those things link together?

If they keep stock of whatever they have ever been asked for,
that will obviously cost more than only keeping the most popular
tires in stock and ordering in the unusual ones as required. So they
will obviously be able to flog me the tires I use cheaper.

Or add the price onto the unusual ones only.

Not going to work when they never sell another of those.

Then they shouldn't buy another.

They need at least 4 of anything they might
sell because plenty change all 4 or 5 at once.

They don't all wear out at once.

They do if you rotate them. And plenty change them
all at once even when they don't rotate them.

> I change one at a time.

So do I but most don't, so the tire place has cover what most do.

They should tell the owner of the weird car to buy a normal one.

Great way to get the customer to come back for their future tires.

Who cares about someone who has different tyres to everyone else?

Those that find it works better to always be able to give the
customer what they show up wanting to buy so they don't
go to some other operation which has it on the shelf.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be
bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either.

Most people have no clue how to fix anything on a car.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT,
and
they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts,
handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on
his
own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading
bodies,
and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.

We fit them ourselves.

I'm a shit mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.

I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

Lucky you.

No luck involved.

It's a saying.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

But after what Clare and 'Arlen' have said about high end kraut
cars,
it
will be interesting to see what else ends up needing fixing over
time.

Him and his son had previously had 3 Hyundai Grandeurs
that also cost them peanuts and ended up with 2 good ones
and have cost them nothing because they have sold what
parts they didn't need themselves of the third on ebay etc.

Only German car I've had was VW,

Same here.

that was reliable

Nothing like as reliable as the Getz which had no warranty claims
what
so ever. The Golf did, and more than one as well. Important ones too.

But since my 73 Golf, things got much worse.

and cheap parts.

Yeah, but the Getz is even cheaper.

Never owned a Hyundai so I don't know what they're like. But if it
makes
me drive half the speed limit like the rest of the moronic owners
around
here,

It doesn't. Only one of the garage salers
can keep up with me and she's dead now.

Why is it every Hyundai I've seen in the UK is driving very slowly?

Don't believe that and it certainly doesn't happen here.

It certainly does here.

Don't believe it, even in that council sink estate filled with low IQ dregs.

> It's the sort of attitude some people have.

Don't believe that either.

They buy cars which are good value, and also adhere to rules like speed
limits.

That's not half the speed limit.

People like me who drive fast tend to either drive sports cars or old
bangers.

Bullshit.

They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

Doesn't happen with volvos here either.

Ours are mostly driven by what we call squatters,
the rich end of farmers and the don't crawl along
in their volvos.

Rich farmers here drive Range Rovers,

We arent that stupid.

> and yes they go fast.

Yep, born to rule mentality. We even had one as PM for a while.

no thanks!

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an
exhaust
bracket (Ł3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for Ł2),
then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both
things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street
verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and
bailing
up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive.
Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while
still
on
the
lead!)
to piss on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's pissing.

Doesn't stop it pissing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.

I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Then I guess you have a well behaved dog.

I have never been silly enough to walk any dog like that.

Some dogs are so fucking stupid that if you take them out without a
lead,
they attack, maim, injure, or kill other dogs.

I have enough of a clue to be selective about the breeds I have.

Why do you think people smack their kids?

Dogs work differently to kids.

No, they learn just like us.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

I know many people with dogs and have seen them train out bad
behaviour.

Not pissing on things you havent. You'll
never train a male dog to never do that
when out walking not on a lead.

Or to not sniff things either.

If you kick it hard enough, it'll never do it again.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Try that with mine and you'd end up dead, quite literally.

So you don't have control over your own pet?

I'm not actually stupid enough to try kicking an immense
great alsatian that weighs almost as much as me.

Why did you buy a pet you cannot control?

I controlled him fine. I'm not actually stupid enough to kick a dog like
that.

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?

Because they like doing it with fetching.

And they like sitting?

Yep, do it regularly.

Only when they feel like it.

Nope, also when they know they will
be rewarded for doing that like with
the drug and currency sniffing dogs

Slave labour.

You are too.

I am nobody's slave.

Corse you are. You get paid fuck all for stuffing shit thru letterboxes.

They ought to rebel and refuse to hunt down people using naturally
occuring plants.

Currency isnt a naturally occurring plant, unfortunately.

I was clearly referring to the drugs. And you tell me to use context....

Opium poppys are naturally occurring plants too. So is cocaine.

And shitting in the correct place?

Plenty of dogs do choose to do what they decide that
their master wants them to do. Cats don't work like that.

Mine do. 8 of my 9 cats now shit correctly.

Not when you tell them to.

Because I tell them to. They know if they do it in the wrong place I
get
angry.

Hasn't stopped that cat pissing on your monitor.

I've never told it not to.

Yes, you are that stupid. You should have done that the first time it did
that.

> It no longer goes where I've told it not to.

We'll see...

I doubt it. They do it because it pleases the leader of the pack
(you).

That's not why they fetch. They like chasing things and bring
it back so you can chuck it again and they can chase it again.

The stupid dogs fetch it then run off with it.

Nope, dogs don't do that.

I was at a friend's house the other day, I threw a toy across the room
and
it picked it up. It wouldn't give it back to me. Or my friend. She
said
it always does that.

Yeah, plenty of dogs operate like that, it's a game to them.

They do it with other dogs too, have a tug of war.

That's the way those drug and currency sniffer dogs
are rewarded, they get to have a tug of war with
the handler over a big sewn up cloth/canvas thing.

I wonder what the IQ of a dog is.

Much higher than a cat. It's a real rocket scientist
cat that even recognised its own name. All dogs do.

I just saw one on Youtube try TEN times to get a long stick through a
narrow doorway sideways.

Yeah, that is one thing that they can have a problem with.

But then stupid cat leap up 10' when you put
a cucumber behind them on the ground.

You'd never see a dog do that.

You have to train it to bring it to you.

Bullshit you do with the worst of them.

They bring it to you to get you to chuck it again.

Actually that's pretty stupid. They already possess the toy, why give
it
to you so you can give it back?

It isnt the giving back, they enjoy chasing
it when you throw it and want you to
throw it more so they can chase it more.

Chasing an inanimate object is almost as stupid as when they chase their
own tails.

It aint stupid, they were bred like that to kill rats etc.

Hilarious watching some dogs round up little kids in
the backyard. They were bred to do that with sheep.

I've even had dogs at garage sales do it, bring
you something they want you to chuck for them.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

Lack of dexterity.

Nope, they arent into getting humans to chuck
something so they can bring it back endlessly.

Because they don't see the point. I don't either, I wouldn't enjoy
throwing something for my dog over and over again.

Irrelevant to why dogs like to do that.

Why do they like it?

They like chasing things. Cats like tormenting small things like mice.

Indeed: https://youtu.be/-TB0AMkEtk0

That was filmed a while ago, she's just given birth to 5 kittens.

Some of them do bring you a present of something
they have killed. Dogs don't do that instinctively.

A couple of mine did that twice each. They won't do it again.

Because you are a psychopath.

No, I prefer to not have local wildlife murdered.

All you are doing is stopping them bring the corpse
to you as a gift. They still murder the wildlife.

No they don't,

Corse they do.

as they can't be bothered eating it with feathers on, they prefer prepared
meat.

That's not why they kill them, stupid.

They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

But they enjoy doing that anyway.

No, they do it because they think they're giving me raw materials to make
the catfood.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you
usually manage, and that's saying something.

Farm cats that never get fed by humans and who
have to feed themselves, do that present stuff too.

They are too stupid to notice that humans
don't eat that stuff unless they are chinese
or south americans.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

go to some other operation which has it on the shelf.

95% of people come in wanting a VW, Ford, etc tyre, keep those in stock. Why bother with the Alfa Romeo owners?

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be
bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either.

Most people have no clue how to fix anything on a car.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT,
and
they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts,
handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on
his
own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading
bodies,
and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.

We fit them ourselves.

I'm a shit mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.

I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

Lucky you.

No luck involved.

It's a saying.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

But after what Clare and 'Arlen' have said about high end kraut
cars,
it
will be interesting to see what else ends up needing fixing over
time.

Him and his son had previously had 3 Hyundai Grandeurs
that also cost them peanuts and ended up with 2 good ones
and have cost them nothing because they have sold what
parts they didn't need themselves of the third on ebay etc.

Only German car I've had was VW,

Same here.

that was reliable

Nothing like as reliable as the Getz which had no warranty claims
what
so ever. The Golf did, and more than one as well. Important ones too.

But since my 73 Golf, things got much worse.

and cheap parts.

Yeah, but the Getz is even cheaper.

Never owned a Hyundai so I don't know what they're like. But if it
makes
me drive half the speed limit like the rest of the moronic owners
around
here,

It doesn't. Only one of the garage salers
can keep up with me and she's dead now.

Why is it every Hyundai I've seen in the UK is driving very slowly?

Don't believe that and it certainly doesn't happen here.

It certainly does here.

Don't believe it, even in that council sink estate filled with low IQ dregs.

Well it's true, I'm always stuck behind them.

It's the sort of attitude some people have.

Don't believe that either.

They buy cars which are good value, and also adhere to rules like speed
limits.

That's not half the speed limit.

Some of them do, they actually think the limit is an absolute limit and you should be usually well below it!

People like me who drive fast tend to either drive sports cars or old
bangers.

Bullshit.

No it isn't. Every time I see a fast car it's either a banger like mine or something really done up.

They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

Doesn't happen with volvos here either.

Ours are mostly driven by what we call squatters,
the rich end of farmers and the don't crawl along
in their volvos.

Rich farmers here drive Range Rovers,

We arent that stupid.

They're actually quite robust.

and yes they go fast.

Yep, born to rule mentality. We even had one as PM for a while.

Why did you just object to driving fast when you do so yourself?

no thanks!

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an
exhaust
bracket (Ł3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for Ł2),
then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both
things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street
verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and
bailing
up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive.
Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while
still
on
the
lead!)
to piss on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's pissing.

Doesn't stop it pissing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.

I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Then I guess you have a well behaved dog.

I have never been silly enough to walk any dog like that.

Some dogs are so fucking stupid that if you take them out without a
lead,
they attack, maim, injure, or kill other dogs.

I have enough of a clue to be selective about the breeds I have.

Why do you think people smack their kids?

Dogs work differently to kids.

No, they learn just like us.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

I know many people with dogs and have seen them train out bad
behaviour.

Not pissing on things you havent. You'll
never train a male dog to never do that
when out walking not on a lead.

Or to not sniff things either.

If you kick it hard enough, it'll never do it again.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Try that with mine and you'd end up dead, quite literally.

So you don't have control over your own pet?

I'm not actually stupid enough to try kicking an immense
great alsatian that weighs almost as much as me.

Why did you buy a pet you cannot control?

I controlled him fine. I'm not actually stupid enough to kick a dog like
that.

How do you control him then?

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?

Because they like doing it with fetching.

And they like sitting?

Yep, do it regularly.

Only when they feel like it.

Nope, also when they know they will
be rewarded for doing that like with
the drug and currency sniffing dogs

Slave labour.

You are too.

I am nobody's slave.

Corse you are. You get paid fuck all for stuffing shit thru letterboxes.

I don't have to, I choose to.

They ought to rebel and refuse to hunt down people using naturally
occuring plants.

Currency isnt a naturally occurring plant, unfortunately.

I was clearly referring to the drugs. And you tell me to use context.....

Opium poppys are naturally occurring plants too. So is cocaine.

Agreed, what's your point?

And shitting in the correct place?

Plenty of dogs do choose to do what they decide that
their master wants them to do. Cats don't work like that.

Mine do. 8 of my 9 cats now shit correctly.

Not when you tell them to.

Because I tell them to. They know if they do it in the wrong place I
get
angry.

Hasn't stopped that cat pissing on your monitor.

I've never told it not to.

Yes, you are that stupid. You should have done that the first time it did
that.

It is the first time it did it.

It no longer goes where I've told it not to.

We'll see...

I've already seen. It stopped shitting in the shower. Camera above shower, slapped when it did it, no longer does it.

I doubt it. They do it because it pleases the leader of the pack
(you).

That's not why they fetch. They like chasing things and bring
it back so you can chuck it again and they can chase it again.

The stupid dogs fetch it then run off with it.

Nope, dogs don't do that.

I was at a friend's house the other day, I threw a toy across the room
and
it picked it up. It wouldn't give it back to me. Or my friend. She
said
it always does that.

Yeah, plenty of dogs operate like that, it's a game to them.

They do it with other dogs too, have a tug of war.

That's the way those drug and currency sniffer dogs
are rewarded, they get to have a tug of war with
the handler over a big sewn up cloth/canvas thing.

I wonder what the IQ of a dog is.

Much higher than a cat. It's a real rocket scientist
cat that even recognised its own name. All dogs do.

They're both monumentally stupid compared with us, that's why no dog or cat has ever got a mortgage or a driving license.

I just saw one on Youtube try TEN times to get a long stick through a
narrow doorway sideways.

Yeah, that is one thing that they can have a problem with.

But then stupid cat leap up 10' when you put
a cucumber behind them on the ground.

You'd never see a dog do that.

I tried that with SIX of my cats, not one reacted whatsoever. Four ignored it completely, and two just looked at and sniffed it before walking off.

You have to train it to bring it to you.

Bullshit you do with the worst of them.

They bring it to you to get you to chuck it again.

Actually that's pretty stupid. They already possess the toy, why give
it
to you so you can give it back?

It isnt the giving back, they enjoy chasing
it when you throw it and want you to
throw it more so they can chase it more.

Chasing an inanimate object is almost as stupid as when they chase their
own tails.

It aint stupid, they were bred like that to kill rats etc.

Can't they tell the difference between a live animal and a chewy toy?

Hilarious watching some dogs round up little kids in
the backyard. They were bred to do that with sheep.

You must know some stupid kids.

I've even had dogs at garage sales do it, bring
you something they want you to chuck for them.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

Lack of dexterity.

Nope, they arent into getting humans to chuck
something so they can bring it back endlessly.

Because they don't see the point. I don't either, I wouldn't enjoy
throwing something for my dog over and over again.

Irrelevant to why dogs like to do that.

Why do they like it?

They like chasing things. Cats like tormenting small things like mice.

Indeed: https://youtu.be/-TB0AMkEtk0

That was filmed a while ago, she's just given birth to 5 kittens.

Some of them do bring you a present of something
they have killed. Dogs don't do that instinctively.

A couple of mine did that twice each. They won't do it again.

Because you are a psychopath.

No, I prefer to not have local wildlife murdered.

All you are doing is stopping them bring the corpse
to you as a gift. They still murder the wildlife.

No they don't,

Corse they do.

They do not.

as they can't be bothered eating it with feathers on, they prefer prepared
meat.

That's not why they kill them, stupid.

They want food. They think they're providing me with the food to cook and prepare.

They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

But they enjoy doing that anyway.

No, they do it because they think they're giving me raw materials to make
the catfood.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you
usually manage, and that's saying something.

Farm cats that never get fed by humans and who
have to feed themselves, do that present stuff too.

They are too stupid to notice that humans
don't eat that stuff unless they are chinese
or south americans.

They think the humans use it to make the cat food.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation,
because
it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.

I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the
context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse.

IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching
kids how to spell correctly with a language which
has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign
languages. What matters is whether the meaning is
clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly
with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

I agree on its and it's. In fact I often deliberately write it's if
something belongs to it.

Oh and spelt instead of spelled too. Why have more than one past tense?

Because of english having so many stolen words in it.

Same with fora/forums etc too.

I can appreciate the weird spellings from stolen words, but there's no
need for silly pedantic things like two past tenses.

English chose to ditch some stupiditys like sex for most inanimate
objects but not for all, most obviously with ships. Same with tenses.
Some languages which were stolen from have many more than
english or at least commonly used forms of english.

> You have now, later, and earlier. Three tenses and nothing more.

The are more the same reason that eskimos have a lot more
names for different types of snow than say you english do.

There are a lot more names for the various forms of fasteners
than most of the general public do who cant even work out the
difference between a bolt and a screw, let alone a grub screw etc.

But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I
expect something more adult.

More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook
post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.

Every so often you get ambiguousness.

Not often enough to matter so it makes no sense
to be spending countless hours making kids spell
stuff so there can be no ambiguity.

When I see someone write draws instead of drawers I just laugh. It's
indicative of gross stupidity.

Nope, just someone who doesn't care about spelling.

They're two entirely different words, one is an action - making a picture,
the other is a piece of furniture. Just because they sound the same is no
excuse to confuse them.

No point in wasting lots of time teaching that sort of thing
to kids in school and not bothering to teach them the
stupidity of racking up whatever they want on credit cards etc.

In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world
uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.

No, only the stoopid yanks.

Wrong, as always.

I've never seen anyone but the yanks write color instead of colour.

Then you need to get out more, particularly
with those whose first language isnt english.

And with those its irrelevant anyway, it's the same word.

Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,

More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap
or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

No, I get free and cheap local big stuff on freecycle, freegle, and
gumtree.

The facebook buy swap sell groups leave those for dead.

The gumtree UI is fucked in comparison.

No,

Yep.

> Facebook is designed for conversation,

Wrong.

> Gumtree is designed for selling.

But there is vastly more local stuff in the local
buy swap sell groups than on gumtree.

And far more local info like where to
get some particular item locally too.

> You're using the wrong interface.

You are, because there is far more on
the facebook buy swap sell groups.

Smaller things I get on Ebay.

You get fuck all free stuff on ebay and no fee is
involved with facebook buy swap sell groups.

You said "and cheap", remember?

Irrelevant to where the best selection of used stuff is
and what works best when you want to get rid of stuff.

all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard
of posting photos of their MacDonalds meal.

Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook
is a convenient way to keep track of what those who
have moved away from this town are currently up to.

Can't you communicate with them directly?

Corse I can, but its much more convenient for them
to list what they have been up to and have all of
their friends see that and respond if they want to.

And everyone sees everything,

No they don't.

> how stupid.

Yes you are, and pig ignorant too.

I prefer to tell specific people about specific things that they're
interested in,

You're free to do that too, using messenger.

> not just tell everyone about everything.

That isnt what happens.

I talk to my friends by email and phone.

I do too, and using facebook and messenger as well.

Directly is fine, but this bullshit about broadcasting your daily
activities

None of the people I know do that.

> to 100s of people is ridiculous,

Or that either.

> it just spams everyone who knows you,

Wrong, as always.

> or who knows someone who knows someone who knows you.

Wrong, as always.

Its also how I know that the local rental market is as tight as a drum
and I can see that there is a lot of money to be made here as a landlord.

Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone,
email, or speak to in person.

Plenty use messenger just as effectively
and plenty don't have an email.

Everybody has email, apart from those not on the internet at all.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Mate of mine does everything on his phone, has no fixed net service at
all.

Then he won't have Facebook either.

Corse he does. The vast bulk of those who use facebook do that on their
phone.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just
"tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

The real world is about more than just conversations;

What's the point in a tweet without a reply?

With plenty its just like a blog, done differently.

Blogs are utterly pointless.

Plenty disagree.

Even you should have noticed that we have a
very good idea about what a terminal fuckwit
Trump is from the shit he spews on twitter.

And with plenty they tweet news that they have
observed personally like when they have just
been personally involved in a terrorist incident.

The christchurch arsehole broadcast
his atrocity live on facebook.

And if nobody can reply, what's the point?

Much better source of news than filtered thru some
journalist who can't possibly be there when it happens.

I don't personally use twitter because
I think the character limit is stupid.

Agreed on that.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either.

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

But its normally obvious from the context which is intended.

All of what you've written in this thread is perfectly intelligible.

Their ads on facebook for draws etc are too.

You're not making an arse of your spelling like most Facebook users do.

Only you OCDs obsess about about spelling.

I don't care about a few mistakes, but when every other word is wrong

They never are.

> I just give up.

Yep, you actually are that stupid/OCD

That's why you are completely unemployable.

> They clearly don't have a 3 digit IQ and I don't want to know them.

You ex employers feel the same way about you.

> So, why are you spelling fairly well in this post?

Nothing has changed with my spelling in this post.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one.

Wrong, as always. Most whose
first language isnt english do too.

They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

So do you hairy legged cross dressing haggis gorgers.

Only if you include Glasgow.

Bullshit.

Glaswegians are thicker than everyone else in the UK.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

> Well all the humans that is, forget the Muslims.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

Someone please bomb it.

As Connelly pointed out, it would make no difference.

?

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is
garages
who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest
tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also
sold
me
a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to
change
a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.

Most garages are best avoided.

I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in
stock
and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're
cheap.

Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one
customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.

I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

The point is, is it a rare car for that area?

Dunno given that I can't remember what it was.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.

Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

How do those things link together?

If they keep stock of whatever they have ever been asked for,
that will obviously cost more than only keeping the most popular
tires in stock and ordering in the unusual ones as required. So
they
will obviously be able to flog me the tires I use cheaper.

Or add the price onto the unusual ones only.

Not going to work when they never sell another of those.

Then they shouldn't buy another.

They need at least 4 of anything they might
sell because plenty change all 4 or 5 at once.

They don't all wear out at once.

They do if you rotate them. And plenty change them
all at once even when they don't rotate them.

What the fuck is the point in rotating them?

They wear out at the same time.

> And if only one is worn out,

That only happens if the alignment is fucked.

why replace the good three?

I change one at a time.

So do I but most don't, so the tire place has cover what most do.

I've never heard of anyone doing that.

Then you need to get out more, as always.

A few weirdos replace two at once because they think it's safer to have
identical tyres opposite each other.

They're right with some shit designs of cars.

And it isnt just a few.

I've just got 4 wheels and tires FROM FACEBOOK for just $10
because I didn't have a spare for my trailer which I got very
cheaply FROM FACEBOOK a couple of years ago now.

3 of them are well worn, all about the same level of wear
so they must have been rotated. One is almost full tread
but is flat. I'll use the worn ones as spares and only
bother to get the flat fixed if the 3 ever become
unusable which is very unlikely indeed.

They should tell the owner of the weird car to buy a normal one.

Great way to get the customer to come back for their future tires.

Who cares about someone who has different tyres to everyone else?

Those that find it works better to always be able to give the
customer what they show up wanting to buy so they don't
go to some other operation which has it on the shelf.

95% of people come in wanting a VW, Ford, etc tyre, keep those in stock.
Why bother with the Alfa Romeo owners?

Because you can flog them what they want and slug them
more than you can slug the other high volume car owners.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me Ł93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for Ł30 on
Ebay.

So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be
bothered
taking
it back home and in again.

And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what
needed
doing.

Not everyone knows everything.

But most don't know as little about cars as you do. Or dogs either.

Most people have no clue how to fix anything on a car.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT,
and
they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts,
handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup
on
his
own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading
bodies,
and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.

We fit them ourselves.

I'm a shit mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.

I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

Lucky you.

No luck involved.

It's a saying.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

makes
me drive half the speed limit like the rest of the moronic owners
around
here,

It doesn't. Only one of the garage salers
can keep up with me and she's dead now.

Why is it every Hyundai I've seen in the UK is driving very slowly?

Don't believe that and it certainly doesn't happen here.

It certainly does here.

Don't believe it, even in that council sink estate filled with low IQ
dregs.

Well it's true, I'm always stuck behind them.

Don't believe it.

It's the sort of attitude some people have.

Don't believe that either.

They buy cars which are good value, and also adhere to rules like speed
limits.

That's not half the speed limit.

Some of them do,

Don't believe it.

they actually think the limit is an absolute limit and you should be
usually well below it!

Don't believe that even the dregs of scotland
who are too stupid to emigrate operate like that.

People like me who drive fast tend to either drive sports cars or old
bangers.

Bullshit.

No it isn't.

Corse it is.

Every time I see a fast car it's either a banger like mine or something
really done up.

That's nothing like your original.

They're like Rover and Volvo owners.

Doesn't happen with volvos here either.

Ours are mostly driven by what we call squatters,
the rich end of farmers and the don't crawl along
in their volvos.

Rich farmers here drive Range Rovers,

We arent that stupid.

They're actually quite robust.

They are fucked by design compared with volvos.

And those that want robust arent stupid enough to bother
with Range Rovers which arent anything like that.

and yes they go fast.

Yep, born to rule mentality. We even had one as PM for a while.

Why did you just object to driving fast

I don't.. The born to rule don't drive fast.

when you do so yourself?

no thanks!

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an
exhaust
bracket (Ł3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for
Ł2),
then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both
things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing
something
very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the
street
verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and
bailing
up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive.
Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while
still
on
the
lead!)
to piss on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's pissing.

Doesn't stop it pissing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.

I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Then I guess you have a well behaved dog.

I have never been silly enough to walk any dog like that.

Some dogs are so fucking stupid that if you take them out without
a
lead,
they attack, maim, injure, or kill other dogs.

I have enough of a clue to be selective about the breeds I have.

Why do you think people smack their kids?

Dogs work differently to kids.

No, they learn just like us.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

I know many people with dogs and have seen them train out bad
behaviour.

Not pissing on things you havent. You'll
never train a male dog to never do that
when out walking not on a lead.

Or to not sniff things either.

If you kick it hard enough, it'll never do it again.

Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Try that with mine and you'd end up dead, quite literally.

So you don't have control over your own pet?

I'm not actually stupid enough to try kicking an immense
great alsatian that weighs almost as much as me.

Why did you buy a pet you cannot control?

I controlled him fine. I'm not actually stupid enough to kick a dog like
that.

How do you control him then?

Tell him what to do and watch him do that.

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?

Because they like doing it with fetching.

And they like sitting?

Yep, do it regularly.

Only when they feel like it.

Nope, also when they know they will
be rewarded for doing that like with
the drug and currency sniffing dogs

Slave labour.

You are too.

I am nobody's slave.

Corse you are. You get paid fuck all for stuffing shit thru letterboxes.

I don't have to, I choose to.

You have to because no one is actually stupid enough to give you a real job.

They ought to rebel and refuse to hunt down people using naturally
occuring plants.

Currency isnt a naturally occurring plant, unfortunately.

I was clearly referring to the drugs. And you tell me to use
context....

Opium poppys are naturally occurring plants too. So is cocaine.

Agreed, what's your point?

That your line about naturally occurring plants is even
sillier than you usually manage, and that's saying something.

And shitting in the correct place?

Plenty of dogs do choose to do what they decide that
their master wants them to do. Cats don't work like that.

Mine do. 8 of my 9 cats now shit correctly.

Not when you tell them to.

Because I tell them to. They know if they do it in the wrong place I
get
angry.

Hasn't stopped that cat pissing on your monitor.

I've never told it not to.

Yes, you are that stupid. You should have done that the first time it did
that.

It is the first time it did it.

You said the opposite just one post ago.

It no longer goes where I've told it not to.

We'll see...

I've already seen. It stopped shitting in the shower. Camera above
shower, slapped when it did it, no longer does it.

Clearly didn't work with the monitor.

I doubt it. They do it because it pleases the leader of the pack
(you).

That's not why they fetch. They like chasing things and bring
it back so you can chuck it again and they can chase it again.

The stupid dogs fetch it then run off with it.

Nope, dogs don't do that.

I was at a friend's house the other day, I threw a toy across the room
and
it picked it up. It wouldn't give it back to me. Or my friend. She
said
it always does that.

Yeah, plenty of dogs operate like that, it's a game to them.

They do it with other dogs too, have a tug of war.

That's the way those drug and currency sniffer dogs
are rewarded, they get to have a tug of war with
the handler over a big sewn up cloth/canvas thing.

I wonder what the IQ of a dog is.

Much higher than a cat. It's a real rocket scientist
cat that even recognised its own name. All dogs do.

They're both monumentally stupid compared with us,

Sure.

> that's why no dog or cat has ever got a mortgage or a driving license.

They arent stupid enough to need either.

Your cats worked out how to get what they
want without farting around with any mortgage.

You never managed that yourself.

I just saw one on Youtube try TEN times to get a long stick through a
narrow doorway sideways.

Yeah, that is one thing that they can have a problem with.

But then stupid cat leap up 10' when you put
a cucumber behind them on the ground.

You'd never see a dog do that.

I tried that with SIX of my cats, not one reacted whatsoever. Four
ignored it completely, and two just looked at and sniffed it before
walking off.

Plenty of cats doing it on youtube.

Not one dog doing it on youtube.

You have to train it to bring it to you.

Bullshit you do with the worst of them.

They bring it to you to get you to chuck it again.

Actually that's pretty stupid. They already possess the toy, why give
it
to you so you can give it back?

It isnt the giving back, they enjoy chasing
it when you throw it and want you to
throw it more so they can chase it more.

Chasing an inanimate object is almost as stupid as when they chase their
own tails.

It aint stupid, they were bred like that to kill rats etc.

Can't they tell the difference between a live animal and a chewy toy?

Corse they can, but they have enough of a clue
to work out that when there is a live animal
available, a chewy toy is better than nothing.

Hilarious watching some dogs round up little kids in
the backyard. They were bred to do that with sheep.

You must know some stupid kids.

Nothing to do with the kids. The kids don't actually get
rounded up, those breeds of dogs just try to do that.

I've even had dogs at garage sales do it, bring
you something they want you to chuck for them.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

Lack of dexterity.

Nope, they arent into getting humans to chuck
something so they can bring it back endlessly.

Because they don't see the point. I don't either, I wouldn't enjoy
throwing something for my dog over and over again.

Irrelevant to why dogs like to do that.

Why do they like it?

They like chasing things. Cats like tormenting small things like mice.

Indeed: https://youtu.be/-TB0AMkEtk0

That was filmed a while ago, she's just given birth to 5 kittens.

Some of them do bring you a present of something
they have killed. Dogs don't do that instinctively.

A couple of mine did that twice each. They won't do it again.

Because you are a psychopath.

No, I prefer to not have local wildlife murdered.

All you are doing is stopping them bring the corpse
to you as a gift. They still murder the wildlife.

No they don't,

Corse they do.

They do not.

Corse they do.

as they can't be bothered eating it with feathers on, they prefer
prepared
meat.

That's not why they kill them, stupid.

They want food.

Nope, they kill things.

> They think they're providing me with the food to cook and prepare.

Nope.

They get food out of a tin, they don't need to kill birds.

But they enjoy doing that anyway.

No, they do it because they think they're giving me raw materials to
make the catfood.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you
usually manage, and that's saying something.

Farm cats that never get fed by humans and who
have to feed themselves, do that present stuff too.

They are too stupid to notice that humans
don't eat that stuff unless they are chinese
or south americans.

They think the humans use it to make the cat food.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you
usually manage, and that's saying something.

Farm cats who don't get fed obviously don't.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead..

I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation,
because
it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.

I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the
context.

They also think you're a fucking idiot.

Only a few fools like you.

No, most people laugh at those who can't spell.

Try facebook and twitter sometime.

A quick note to somebody I can excuse.

IMO its mad to be wasting lots of time teaching
kids how to spell correctly with a language which
has stolen so many words from all sorts of foreign
languages. What matters is whether the meaning is
clear, not if every word is spelt correctly, particularly
with the more obscure stuff like its and it's etc.

I agree on its and it's. In fact I often deliberately write it's if
something belongs to it.

Oh and spelt instead of spelled too. Why have more than one past tense?

Because of english having so many stolen words in it.

Same with fora/forums etc too.

I can appreciate the weird spellings from stolen words, but there's no
need for silly pedantic things like two past tenses.

English chose to ditch some stupiditys like sex for most inanimate
objects but not for all, most obviously with ships.

Hardly anything has a sex in English, unless it really does have a sex, like a dog.

Same with tenses.
Some languages which were stolen from have many more than
english or at least commonly used forms of english.

You have now, later, and earlier. Three tenses and nothing more.

The are more the same reason that eskimos have a lot more
names for different types of snow than say you english do.

There are a lot more names for the various forms of fasteners
than most of the general public do who cant even work out the
difference between a bolt and a screw, let alone a grub screw etc.

Describing the difference between different devices is sensible. Describing the difference between something that happened in the past and something that happened in the past - er what?

But if you type whole sentences in an email or newsgroup post, I
expect something more adult.

More fool you. Doesn't matter if a facebook
post is telling a chest of drawers or says draws.

Every so often you get ambiguousness.

Not often enough to matter so it makes no sense
to be spending countless hours making kids spell
stuff so there can be no ambiguity.

When I see someone write draws instead of drawers I just laugh. It's
indicative of gross stupidity.

Nope, just someone who doesn't care about spelling.

Usually it's someone in a council estate who doesn't know there's two spellings.

They're two entirely different words, one is an action - making a picture,
the other is a piece of furniture. Just because they sound the same is no
excuse to confuse them.

No point in wasting lots of time teaching that sort of thing
to kids in school

Just because they can't be distinguished in speach doesn't mean they shouldn't be distinguished in writing.

and not bothering to teach them the
stupidity of racking up whatever they want on credit cards etc.

Just ban credit cards.

In spades when the bulk of the english speaking world
uses tires instead of tyres or color instead of colour.

No, only the stoopid yanks.

Wrong, as always.

I've never seen anyone but the yanks write color instead of colour.

Then you need to get out more, particularly
with those whose first language isnt english.

I don't associate with those sort.

> And with those its irrelevant anyway, it's the same word.

Who would want to look like an American?

Mind you I've recently closed my Facebook account,

More fool you. It still be best place to find cheap
or free stuff local people are getting rid of etc.

No, I get free and cheap local big stuff on freecycle, freegle, and
gumtree.

The facebook buy swap sell groups leave those for dead.

The gumtree UI is fucked in comparison.

No,

Yep.

Facebook is designed for conversation,

Wrong.

It's a fucking chat room. Where is the checkout? Where is the automatic link to paypal?

Gumtree is designed for selling.

But there is vastly more local stuff in the local
buy swap sell groups than on gumtree.

Not here. I've got loads of stuff off Gumtree. Everything in my house that's too big to be posted from Ebay, I've got from Gumtree.

And far more local info like where to
get some particular item locally too.

The fucking postcode is in Gumtree, what more do you need? I can go to Gumtree and type "fridge", then my own postcode. I'll get the nearest fridges. Tell me how to do that search in Facebook.

You're using the wrong interface.

You are, because there is far more on
the facebook buy swap sell groups.

I don't care for morons that use the wrong interface.

Smaller things I get on Ebay.

You get fuck all free stuff on ebay and no fee is
involved with facebook buy swap sell groups.

You said "and cheap", remember?

Irrelevant to where the best selection of used stuff is
and what works best when you want to get rid of stuff.

Everything I've got rid of, I just put it on Gumtree and get about 5 people wanting it.

all it was full of is friends of friends of friends I've never heard
of posting photos of their MacDonalds meal.

Only one of my friends ever does that and facebook
is a convenient way to keep track of what those who
have moved away from this town are currently up to.

Can't you communicate with them directly?

Corse I can, but its much more convenient for them
to list what they have been up to and have all of
their friends see that and respond if they want to.

And everyone sees everything,

No they don't.

My timeline was full of friends of friends of friends posting pictures of McDonalds meals, very boring.

how stupid.

Yes you are, and pig ignorant too.

Using a variant of "I know you are" makes you look like a 6 year old.

I prefer to tell specific people about specific things that they're
interested in,

You're free to do that too, using messenger.

Email was invented long ago.

Waste of fucking time. Anyone I actually want to know, I phone,
email, or speak to in person.

Plenty use messenger just as effectively
and plenty don't have an email.

Everybody has email, apart from those not on the internet at all.

Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage.

Mate of mine does everything on his phone, has no fixed net service at
all.

Then he won't have Facebook either.

Corse he does. The vast bulk of those who use facebook do that on their
phone.

With no email address? I doubt it.

As for twitter, shitty designed rubbish, no threads or anything, just
"tweets" which aren't related to any conversation.

The real world is about more than just conversations;

What's the point in a tweet without a reply?

With plenty its just like a blog, done differently.

Blogs are utterly pointless.

Plenty disagree.

Even you should have noticed that we have a
very good idea about what a terminal fuckwit
Trump is from the shit he spews on twitter.

I don't use twitter.

And I'd vote for Trump, he's a sensible right wing racist.

And with plenty they tweet news that they have
observed personally like when they have just
been personally involved in a terrorist incident.

The christchurch arsehole broadcast
his atrocity live on facebook.

And if nobody can reply, what's the point?

Much better source of news than filtered thru some
journalist who can't possibly be there when it happens.

99% of news is of no interest to me.

I don't personally use twitter because
I think the character limit is stupid.

Agreed on that.

Did you run out of energy when changing the wheel?

My energy doesn't have a tread or wear on just one side either..

Why should I have to work out which word you mean from context?

Its automatic for anyone who isnt brain dead.

Now make every word have two possibilities.

But its normally obvious from the context which is intended.

All of what you've written in this thread is perfectly intelligible..

Their ads on facebook for draws etc are too.

You're not making an arse of your spelling like most Facebook users do.

Only you OCDs obsess about about spelling.

I don't care about a few mistakes, but when every other word is wrong

They never are.

Yours aren't, but some people fuckup 50% of words.

They clearly don't have a 3 digit IQ and I don't want to know them.

You ex employers feel the same way about you.

Because I pointed out to the world that they stole Ł4 million?

So, why are you spelling fairly well in this post?

Nothing has changed with my spelling in this post.

I didn't say it had changed, who said anything about change? Do keep up at the back.

Just use the right one in the first place.

There is no right one. FAR more use tire instead of tyre.

You get to like that or lump it.

Only yanks use the wrong one.

Wrong, as always. Most whose
first language isnt english do too.

They have a lower IQ, look up the stats.

So do you hairy legged cross dressing haggis gorgers.

Only if you include Glasgow.

Bullshit.

Glaswegians are thicker than everyone else in the UK.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

Show me evidence of intelligent Glaswegians! 90% of them are in council flats.

Well all the humans that is, forget the Muslims.

Even sillier than you usually manage and that's saying something.

So you're backing Mozzies now?
