There is no such thing as 'self made.' Those people always get a 'leg up' or seven along the way.

People who say "you make your own luck" have generally been the beneficiary of a massive stroke of luck.

University! I knew education was to blame.

I clicked on a link on the Echo website earlier showing some holiday home in the lakes had a hot tub etc. Literally clicked it just to see a bigger version of the picture in the thumbnail because the view looked boss. Just gone on Instagram on my phone and the same site the cack went through to came up as a sponsored advert.

 

What fucking intrusive sorcery is that?!

Car dealerships, the scamming bastards!

 

Went with my son as he wanted a better car than his nearly two year old one. Fair enough he's got a much better job now and can easily afford it. The shit they try to pull on people. 

 

The old dealership has just messaged him that current car is due a brake fluid change, a not quite two year old car with 12000 miles on the clock. I have never heard of brake fluid being changed that early, scamming twats. Luckily he's handing the old one over on Tuesday so it's not his problem and hopefully the new dealer is a tad less of a scamming shite. 

 

I took his car in for a recall on the bonnet catch last year, the bastards kept me waiting for hours and dealt with paying customers first. I won't name them, but I wouldn't touch their junk pieces of shit with a bargepole anyway.

If it's a recall the dealer actually makes money of it as they invoice the manufacturer for the work.

 

Warranty and recall work is quite often way more lucrative than regular stuff.

 

So it's more likely that they are just shite in the case of the dealer you went to.

I took ours in, three years old really good condition, for a slow puncture repair to the ‘Approved Centre’. I told the categorically that nothing else was to be done, even though they pushed.  

 

The wife picked it up. Apparently everything was fucked and needed replacing and significant cost, of course she acquiesced. Strange that.

Had the fun of working from home during a Hermes delivery earlier. A faint knock on the door answered five seconds later to only find a battered box left leaning against my door with a blank delivery slip just left on the floor next to it. Not even posted in...

 

I know they're quota'd out the arse, it's a shite situation that's led to such a poor service being normalised.  But come on, the lengths they go to to avoid actually completing a delivery.

Yet he has taken the time to fuck it. The country is a joke.

I'm buying stuff online through a company called Lazada in Vietnam. Stuff coming from Saigon (1000km away) is usually here in 2 or 3 days after ordering

The Courier phones when he is coming to deliver and takes a photo of you with your parcel. If your not at home, he arranges a delivery time. Delivery charge from Saigon is 20900 vnd - about 60p.

The hassles of living in a third world country!

Here's an idea, if you don't like me then don't fuck me, if you do like me then stop giving me the cold shoulder.

 

Too old for that cat and mouse shit.

[General Dryness]

People doing stupid shit on internet forums for no apparent reasons. 

 

Y'know, like going around inexplicably posting "fuck off" on random threads.
