STMO disappeared a good while back, around the same time as optimist 69, I took his place  :)

Optimist 60 actually. They say the memory is the first thing to go.  ;D
Right, so he's 9 years older than I thought  ;D
Really don't know why I associated 69 with Opti  :-\

General Discussion Area / Donald Trump movie
« on: Yesterday at 07:45:04 »
Now I'm no fan of Trump, I think I've made that quite clear, but I don't think a warts-and-all biopic should be released so close to an election.

Those of us long enough in the tooth to remember the old days of OOF, can smile at this.
We were all a lot younger and gobbier and the only thing  that often stopped some of us knocking the shite out of one another was distance.
Although on a couple of occasions, I came close to not letting that stop me.  ::) :-[ ;D
Used to drive poor TB to distraction, and he came close to shutting down general chat permanently more than once.
Older, calmer and a bit wiser now, I rarely let anything on the interweb get under my skin....
.......apart from STEMO, obviously.  :P ;D
Cheers,Paddy  :-*

Alex Salmond, l won't speak ill of the dead.
I quite liked him. I didn't agree with his politics, but he came across as someone who believed what he was saying.

I can fire my own bullets, thank you very much  ;D

Those little blue pills are marvellous!  :y
Yuck! I'd rather have something to eat.



I thought it was something to eat  ;D

You are just tying to justify your unnecessary responses to simple questions about the part numbers for self levelling rear  shock absorbers. I posted a link to assist with that, but you have to fire in with your responses about different products that are not a suitable replacement in many ways, and not what the OP asked....
Incidentally, your initial post with the NOS and GLWT ( ::)) hadn't a smiley face - the smiley faces were posted in later replies.
What does trigger me is your condescending attitude, and your  back pedalling by trying to turn the situation around when you have been shown to be wrong, or there actually is another solution to the point in question.
I hope you are not as annoying to passengers whilst you are pushing that trolley up and down the aisle trying to sell tea and coffee....  :)
Are you done?

75 previous posts on this thread, only six of which are yours, and only one actually of any constructive purpose, the rest focused on bashing me.

And, for the record, (not that I actually care what you think), but if my employer choses to sell some items on short haul flights, that's up to them. If people buy them or not makes no difference to my day.

Unless you're trying to imply something about me by way of my occupation... :-X

What would I be trying to imply (if that was the case, which it wasn't)? I was just wondering if you are as abrupt and generally less than helpful to the passengers / customers during your working day as you are on here.
If you are reading something into it, then maybe I have touched a nerve? Take a step back and just look at your attitude on here, and maybe you can come out of it as a better person. I'm not the only person on here that thinks your whole attitude stinks, but there's just the handful of OOFers that make their observations regarding it known.
Anyway, I'd rather get back on topic about the original question about the part numbers for self levelling GM shockers rather than get a slap on the wrist ( ;)) from admin for being naughty.....
I wasn't going to respond to this, but...

For someone who has never met me, you are making some incredibly baseless judgements against my character and work ethic.

Sure, you can disagree about how other people might answer queries here on the forum or even with what posts, but our only interaction is within the context of this forum and much of that is you criticising something I have posted or the apparent manner in which it's posted or simply because I posted it. The constant back and forth is draining and unnecessary.

I have a suggestion...

If someone posts a question and someone posts something that you don't agree with, rather than taking the time to post something derogatory, "Helpful as ever ::)" and nothing by way of alternative suggestions or clarification for example, try posting something more constructive such as actual suggestions/solutions.

Perhaps then we can move on and maybe even rekindle some of what this forum was meant to represent.
I've carefully considered this approach and, I'm afraid, I just can't see the fun in it at all. Maybe it's just me  :)

Ah, is that why I keep getting the repeated messages ‘Urgent, your electricity meter certification has expired. DO NOT ignore this message and book an appointment for a smart meter now’.
……….

I received a call from EON this morning regarding my out of date meter certification. I explained that they’d had two attempts at fitting a smart meter but both attempts had failed the ping test, so only worked in dumb mode. Both times they removed the new meter and refitted my old meter.
The lady was very understanding and agreed to remove me from the ‘smart’ notifications caller list, emails and text contact list, which she said lasts for 6 months. After the 6 months they have to do the same again.
We shall see how that goes  ::)  but should I be concerned about my out of date certification.  ;D
Most of us on here are out of date  ;D

When Labour bring in their Assisted Dying Act  or probably more accurately Killing Old People Off Act, I wonder if they'll start tattooing an expiry date on new borns.   ::)

Think of the money they'd save in pensions, the NHS and care!  :)

Sounds like something out of a sci fi novel, but imagine it's your 65th birthday, there's a knock on the door....

" Hello, Uncle STEMO? It's your expiry day and we're from the Department of Expirations. Would you come with us please, the Expiry Van is just over there. No.... We won't take long and it's nothing to worry about! "    >:D
65th? I'm afraid they missed the boat, by quite a margin  ;D

A few pints too many by the sounds of it🤣
I don't drink, Rae. Neither do I post nonsensical rants after the pubs close  ;D

Had my flu jab last Saturday, having my Covid on Sunday.

We had both Flu and Covid jabs together last Saturday.  :y

I note that the Covid jab is for over 65’s and vulnerable people only now. As I’m not over 65 I must be one of the vulnerable people.   :-\
Yes, your gas meter could explode  ;D
