it's quite clearly a bidding/cheating app. The pattern could only be created by automated bidding. It has basically ruined eBay. Well amongst a few other st things anyway.
No - its a numpty who doesn't know how to use ebay properly. An app would bid once in the last few seconds.
not if you've set it to not do that.

Audi drivers - they always seem to think they are king of the road whereas in reality they are paying a fortune for a fancy Skoda (sorry, no offence intended, Skoda make good cars, and so do audi but...)

A3 driver today, wouldn't get out of the outside lane on a dual carrigeway. Seemed to think driving 2mph faster than the traffic on the inside lane meant they were all important and could stay put and hold everyone else up.

A6 driver today took offence that I overtook him in my Peugeot, clearly I'm of a lower class so he then made every effort to overtake me. Not liking cocks up my ass, I let him go...

A4 driver yesterday wanted to prove that he could drive faster on a slip road than me in my poor man's peugeot. It was one of those slips roads that is a big corner and he just under steered into the other lane and out of my way..biggrin

Being a 'car' forum I'll keep this car related, although I could quote many more non car related......

The nob, on the motorway, in a lane to your right, who accelerates right up your ass when you pull into his (predominantly it is a man) lane to overtake at the same speed that overtaking lane is going, despite there being tons of space and prior to the overtake, the nob was happy to sit in that overtaking lane at a constant speed not really overtaking.

Driver could be devilishly handsome, very wealthy and hung like a horse but that one thing screams......knob. He reaches 'total knob' status if it is accompanied by flashing lights and hand gestures.

Twunts. rolleyes
The local scouts raffling off something to raise funds are in the st then!


Do you really need a Gaming Licence? laugh

According to a quick Google, No. But you do have to run it sensibly. smile

This joker.



Just bid your censored budget and let eBay do the work for you. furious

Still nowhere near my bid and over a day to go so it's either a speculative twunt or someone bidding it up for the seller (or the seller using a different account in place of spending 10p to set a reserve).

rolleyes

Edited to add copyrights to the image belong to eBay.
This isn't a cheat app. It's eBay's system. Means that person set a max bid of whatever, and someone has entered a lower amount, so eBay has bid it up for the original bidder. You only see the top bidder at any given price, not every bid.

The boring nasal Professor Logics on the OCD thread saying what is and isn't OCD, and how it's actually a really serious condition and not something to be joked about.

I'm amazed they can wrote on a site called "Pistonheads" without first stating that none of us have actual pistons for heads.

Fun-sponges.

to be fair mental health is used as a bit of a colloquial joke to many people who aren't directly affected. These things are absolutely serious conditions, that seriously affect those who live through them every day.

"I like to keep my desk neat because I am sooooooo OCD!!"

"Christ she's in such a mood today she must be schizophrenic!"

"I love a christmas jumper, I'm just mental i think!"

Imagine going up to someone with HIV and saying to them "argh that bathroom was so dirty, i think i've now got AIDS!!!"

Dismissing people who go through that stuff (and the reason you don't know about it is generally because they suffer in silence) as 'fun sponges' is a bit like calling a woman frigid or not up for banter because you pinched her arse.

You Sir are the knob here.

Take your presumptions elsewhere. The white knights calling it out were in no way saying they themselves had OCD, they are not suffering in silence, they were just trying to show how sensitive and delicate they are.

Do you never say "I/he/she was so mad"? Or have you ever called someone crazy? If you say no, I don't believe you. If you say yes, then why would you be so offensive?!

Someone used the "nearly gave me a heart attack" line a few days after my mother died of a heart attack. Did I drop to my knees, sob and tell them how fking rude and offensive they were and demand their apology and some sort of recompense? Nope, because I'm realistic and not a fking permanently offended wimp.

It's not an extreme reaction. I think they're knobs who are over-reacting. I think you, also, are over-reacting. I am not talking about promoting walking in to a mental hospital and shouting out "Look at me, I'm crazy I am WOO BLARGH". I am talking about a gentle, humorous thread being killed because of some over-sensitive types, desperate to show that they are more offended (on behalf of someone else) than the previous poster.

I know plenty of people who have experienced mental illness, my grandfather committed suicide thanks to mental illness, so respectfully, wind your fking neck in. (Of course, you didn't know that and didn't mean to upset me by reminding me of it, and I can understand that you didn't know and therefore you weren't being deliberately offensive by bringing it up.)

Some people need to grow up, have a bit of backbone, and accept that not everything is written to insult someone.


What is it with posters with "2CV" in their handle, and 10k+ posts, being argumentative wallies?! hehe

you don't just get to behave how you like. You don't get to dismiss people at being pissed off at what you say as 'just a joke'. You don't get to resort to reams and reams of name calling to support your alf garnett attitude, and you definitely don't get to use your grandfather committing suicide as an excuse for the way you act. I suggest you stop right now.

How do you know that OpulentBob isn't suffering? Your type disgusts me, you need to learn a little sensitivity.

And yes that was sarcasm, just pointing out how stupid your responses are.

People who think this is all the windscreen you need to clear....

Plus, people who don't bother scraping the snow of the rear window - just goes to prove that you never use your mirrors


Personally I just defrost the front 3 windows and wing mirrors and then drive like that, I see it being no different than driving a van? If I have time I will do the rest but I’m far from a morning person.

I won’t however drive the car unless I have clear visibility through all three windows.
According to your plan the rear window is still icy, so the rear view mirror becomes redundant. I would say that seeing behind you is an essential part of safe driving. Thinking you are driving a van is not a rational argument.

What about driving a van? Or a lorry? Or towing a caravan?

Utter cocksocket in the outside lane of the A1 last night, who moved into that lane just after the Wellyn junction, passed 2 cars, then, despite the inside lane being empty for a good 1/4 mile or so, sat in the outside lane at 60mph, barely making any progress against the traffic ahead all the way to Stevenage, by which time he was level with a car in the inside lane. Whereupon he accelerated briefly to pass them then cut across them onto the Stevenage north exit slip.
