i think the problem here, might be the lack of accompanying body language, facial expression, and tone of voice content in the text based communication inherent in all forums..... 

maybe Daz didn't quite mean it in the way we mostly seem to have read it,  i'm sure it would have sounded , and been taken differently if it had been in conversation over a brew at a meet........

  :y or maybe Daz is just jealous of the company , it can indeed be a lonely old job :y ;D ;D

.........
perhaps we should all trek up to stoke and sit around drinking tea while he works.....     it's only fair  ::)

FFS, WTF is going on.

DLK questioned something about JV6Whatever (changes cars like I change my smalls) statement about moral support perhaps giving the wrong fellers about Mobile Mechanics, and everyone jumps on as DLK said JV6Whatever workmanship is piss poor.

FFS, read the threads before being a keyboard warrior.

Same reason TB probably came over when you were doing those Head gaskets recently? I'm guesing you didn't NEED his help, but it was nice to have him there?
Unrelated to this convo, but I turned up unannounced, as TheDaddy is a friend and a work colleague (not uncommon to pop in), and because Daz was there, just for a quick chat.  As it happened, I could make myself useful by cleaning engine parts before refitting, rather than 'helping' or providing any 'support'. So I stayed for as many cups of tea as we could get TheDaddy to make ;D


Not taking sides (we are should be one community), just setting straight a couple of facts ;)

I agree that some posts should never have been surrender in the first place. All forms of the written word can be taken in different contexts, but ffs, give James a break! Not being funny, but was there any need to take the piss out of his username as well? So what if he changes his car, doesn't mean a damn thing, except whoever gets his car is gonna have a mechanically sound car!

It's gone beyond a joke now & this should be locked. If anything this should have been a polite pm between members and not an open bitching match amongst ourselves! Rant over.

Whilst typing, I realised I didn't know his username this week  :-[.  Having a rather nosebleed that won't stop, means typing one handed, means I just put something, and tried to explain why.

Fair enough TB, sorry, just got defensive as it was getting out of hand IMO.

Its as bad as my post, did type posted and surrender came up instead????  ::)

This has gone from a pleasant thank you to a slagging match as I said earlier.  Can it be locked now??

I used to get em quite often when I was a kid.
Just seemed to grow out of it but i still remember waking up with a pillow soaked in blood.
Not a pleasant experience as a small child.

Me too, though still occasionally get bad ones.  I've been known to pass out with them, so when one starts I know I need to stop what I'm doing and getting myself in a safe position  :-[.

Yeah, gay, I know  :-[

Ahhh. that'll be down to the stress and knowledge that my V6 is lacking Irmscher springs and you feel guilty about not sending them down to me.

TBE will look and handle lovely on the genuine Elite suspension I will send you in return.

Deal?

Splendid!

Bye!

Sounds like a good excuse for feet up on the sofa with Mrs TB providing tea and bickies on demand.
