Hedgecutter Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Why would someone say that when they go to someones house? Let alone you letting them use your toilet when they are only five mins down/up the road? Tell them to get to f**k. Think I read in one of those lists of Archaic laws that are still about that you have to let someone use your bog if they turn up on the doorstep, or am I imagining this and it's just a load of shite?

Andy Dufresne Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 would it surprise you if i said civic damn honda gearboxes That would suprise me as Honda have a decent rep for good cars,I have never had one but a few mates swear by them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 ...but the manky b*****ds just left their hoose 5 mins ago Understandable though. After sitting on your arse in your own home, things can sometimes get set in motion just by walking for 5 mins. Never done this myself though. Maybe I should to save a few pennies on bog roll and domestos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 That would suprise me as Honda have a decent rep for good cars,I have never had one but a few mates swear by them. cars yes, but gearboxes no. its basically the bearings and brushes not getting on, most 01-05 models suffer the jazz has similar gearbox and has the same issue, but once its repaired i will be a skint but happy guy again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Dufresne Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 its getting stripped and rebuilt, £400 for starters.. guys website does seem to show he knows what hes doing, and honda edinburgh recommended him Again i say ouch,I take it you will stick in a new clutch at the same time as it would make sense as the box is out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Again i say ouch,I take it you will stick in a new clutch at the same time as it would make sense as the box is out. well, not affordable at the moment which is a pain, i was trying to hold out till bonus pay and get both, but it was kicking out of gear soon as foot left the accelerator and it was grinding in 3rd. the synchro is gone. clutch feels fine, but state once the box is out is another question 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 When people on this forum type "rediculous". It's "ridiculous" and it's a stupid typo to make because "i" and "e" are not near each other on the keyboard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weirdcal Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Again i say ouch,I take it you will stick in a new clutch at the same time as it would make sense as the box is out. Clutch is apparently in good nick. 3rd synchro gone, bearings replaced. Happy days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "ridiculous" and it's a stupid typo to make because "i" and "e" are not near each other on the keyboard. I somehow typed It's self rather than 'itself' earlier and promptly edited. Sometimes you only spot stupid mistakes once it's posted, but at least I can spell to spot a spelling mistake if you know what I mean. At work, I can proof read something on the computer screen and see nothing. As soon as it comes off the printer in hard copy, I'll spot some stupid mistake about a paragraph in. My gripe of the day is when you fast forward on the digibox and it doesn't play when you want, just freezing and fast forwarding until it gets to the end. Maybe I just have a shite digibox. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 When you're in a pub watching Jeff, they talk about a goal for about two mins and when it pops up on the vidiprinter 3 mins later, you get a "yaaaaaasssss!" from some guy that hasn't left his seat. Not had a Jeff afternoon for ages, must be winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "ridiculous" and it's a stupid typo to make because "i" and "e" are not near each other on the keyboard. It's not a keyboard slip. It'll be how they pronounce it and think it's spelt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Awful day today. All coupons fucked, West Ham are getting pumped, County game was postponed and results aren't going County's way Edited December 10, 2011 by yoda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 It's not a keyboard slip. It'll be how they pronounce it and think it's spelt. There was someone on earlier who typed 'free' instead of three. Inexcusable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
