OT & FS Renault Megane 02 reg

There is a difference - see below.

The difference is, Alan Crowders speciality in this respect is punting
out various sub £1500 cars in a bike group, (and other places beyond,
apparently), with little else to say about them before or after
they've sold, whereas the rest of us tend to post about our latest
purchase when we buy it and our experiences of it thereafter.

There is a difference... it just doesn't suit your apparent take on
the subject to recognise it, by looks of it.

It is when it comes to an example of hypocrisy relevant to the
subject...

 

Or, perhaps, I'm simply more tolerant of people that don't register
sufficiently high on my ****-o-meter.

to /you/ perhaps.

 

If you mean me then I think you'll find it wasn't an R1 I had a go at
him for advertising.

 

Not you specifically, but you one of those who got a bit picky on that
occasion - SteveH posted up a link to one of the posts from the thread
concerned.

 

See reply to other post.

 

There is a difference between intolerance and 'pointing something
out'.

Maybe you'll find a way to take that on board before this thread
fizzles out, but going by your current performance I'll not be holding
my breath on that one.

The same applies in reverse.

HAND

 

Pointing it out, vigorously, over and over.

Oh come, you can do far better than that. I merely 'pointed out' that
AC is actually a long timer here.

By that logic, you're suggesting that the /fact/ (not opinion) that I
pointed out (AC being a long timer here), might be important to me, but
isn't important to someone else (you?) and that this is somehoe
comparable with your /opinion/ over whether something was hypocritical
and possibly relevant to this situation. Right.

Oh please.

 

I've had a go at several people for posting multiple links to their
Ebay auctions when a simple post pointing towards all of them would be
a lot easier and I've also commented on people flogging various bits of
tat on here when it's not really the place for it. I don't bother these
days because ukrm has gone so far away from being a bike related
newsgroup it's not worth the effort. I'd question the number of cars
Alan has advertised on here because I don't recall it being that many
but some sad bastard would spend their time googling it to prove a
point so I'll not encourage them.

 

I can actually given the following:

....and then came up with this:

"Right. So that means that Both Nige, and you and SteveH and Alan C,
and
possibly a whole bunch of other people may, or may not be traders
(three out of the last 6 vehicles I bought were directly from
UKRMers),
depending on who's opinion you ask."

You seem to be struggling with the concept that there is a difference
between someone repeatedly buying up old shitters to punt on
immediately for profit, (which is what it appears Crowder does), and
those who buy something, use it and enthuse about it for a while
before getting bored with it and flogging it to get something else.

He's a trader pure and simple, as outlined in the post SteveH dug up
and posted up elsewhere in the thread where he says as much,
ironically about what appears to be the same car when advertised by
him two years ago.

 

....you mean like putting it in their sig?

If it's bike related, it has its place IMHO... so long as it's not all
a poster submits to the group.

This is true - it's notably thinning down too from what I've seen of
it of late when I've bothered to pop my nose in.

It's been enough that I understood the point SteveH was making
straightaway.

 

<snip>

Rather sad really that this thread has generated more excitement than
anything I've read for some time.

Are people *really* this bored?

 

/appears/ being the operative word.

He must be a pretty shit trader if he still has it two years later.

 

Bored out of my fucking skull.

Can't drive, can't ride bikes, can't shag, can't do **** all other than
potter around locally. Even a short walk along the river (about 1.5
miles) left me fucked.

Can't wait to go back to work.

 

I know the feeling , the quacks just grounded me

 

If you need to consider what is wrong with you then here is a good place
to start. Unless you are a stunt double for blue films there is no reason
in god's good universe why you should ever consider going back to work as
anything else other than a particularly inefficient method of committing
suicide. Resist the urge.

 

Is this a dig at Sweller?

 

Yes.
<yawn>

 

Yeah, but be fair, what of that could you do before the heart attack?

Steady on.

 

Change for word bored for boring and you've got it.

 

Blimey. You'd have thought a heart attack would have rectified at least
one of these.
