What's made you grumpy today?

My grump of the day, another idiot of a buyer on eBay buying something, not looking at the pic or reading the description and then saying its not as he requires and wanting a refund FFS :bang:
If a double buggy can't get by I'd say that's some sort of victory
Not so great for people with bad sight though...

Whats your refund setup on ebay?
mine was set to no refunds / returns accepted
Tell him he posts back and you charge him the postage + 10% restocking free
See if he keeps it then

Spending the best part of the day fannying around under the dobby replacing one balljoint.
Sort of thing I've done a few times in the past - without half the tools I have today. It was difficult but nowhere near as difficult as this one.
Cut the balljoint off to get at the rivets, took the heads off & the damned things wouldn't be 'persuaded' to shift. Ended up taking the arm off & it was still a PITA.
Tried drilling them out but my titanium coated HSS bits wouldn't touch whatever alien composite these rivets were made of!
THEN, when I thought the hard work was done, one of the main bolts simply refused to go home, it locked solid about an inch shy...
After hours of messing around, I finally got everything back - then my personal mechanic shows up to 'help' - he put the new balljoint on & did up the three nuts/bolts.

Trying to find a new Exhaust for my Punto
Apparently the 1.3 Multijet diesel punto exhaust never needs replacing as so far i've tried half a dozen national companies and non of them have the parts in stock some of them just don't even do the exhaust for this car and those that can order it in want anything from £80 - £120

Re: i like big peachy arses
given that plenty of people put milk in an americano its not exactly an offensive question

On the very rare occasion I buy a coffee, if it's an americano, I'm one of the ones who prefers to add milk....
I prefer the free Kenco at work :devil:

I've only been into a Starbucks once in my life.
Got a blank stare from the cashier when I asked for "a coffee"
Took about 5 minutes for them to explain each one..., and being that I'm absolutely useless with making decisions I had no clue.
To this day, I still can't recollect which kind it was they sold me in the end, was nice though...

Starbucks don't sell coffee! just some brown hot water :yuck:
And charge you £5.00 for it!
Wish I could afford that for a cup of coloured water
