My wife won something on eBay with the minimum bid. She arranged with the seller to collect this afternoon. Got there and the house was all shut up with all the blinds drawn. Nobody in. Hung around for an hour and a half but nobody turned up. No responses to messages.

My guess is that he wasn't happy with the price they went for.

An afternoon and a load of petrol wasted.  >:D

Third flood this year,
Wasn't big, but bigger enough to close roads.
No more rain for awhile please.
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

Customers.... All they do is want want want. Like I haven't got other things I'd rather be doing

Brought a boot liner for a Pajero Sport. They sent me one for an Audi S5. Took a month to get my money back.

Yep, used PayPal. Dream car were useless, once it was escalated with PayPal it only took a week. Like you I've found PayPal good for refunds a few times.

Blowing the hydraulic line for the clutch on the truck on the last for the week, with only the back trailer tipped and then needing to hook up again and drive through two major round abouts back to the depot.

Americanism taking over :(
Last week it was AFL commentators using the term 'Big Dance' when referring to the Grand Final, Now commentators referring to the NRL Grand Final, as 'The Big Dance'
:(

Yep. Been going on in cricket for a while, especially with M. Waugh commentaries. If he was on radio, you would think you're listening to a baseball game. Gilly throws them in too.

I nearly got anally gimleted by good ol' Toyota today. I needed to replace the crank battery tray in the 'cruiser tilly. I couldn't find a 2nd hand one, so contacted a Toyota dealer.

$285 for a piece of composite, cardboardy stuff. This is just the flat tray, no brackets.

Went on line and got one (Genuine) for $150. Still a ripoff for what you get, but at least I can sit down without bleeding.

This one is a single plate. I hate semi auto clutches, it's full auto or manual for me. It's ridiculous how many Klms that you get out of them now, I was around the million J's before, not bloody 638000klms.
