I actually said this to someone yesterday and at the time considered in my head that it was probably a bit mookish...particularly as I saw his face twitch as the words left my mouth . I despise what I have become. It was never meant to be like this.

But the police are all scum according to many on here, until they're needed anyway... Which is a general thing in the UK that annoys me!Carter said:
Mate, this wouldn't be on a message board. Only one way to deal with people like this and that's direct action. confront her and tell her to fuck right offLuckyReds said:
Yeah, they are indeed. At a 90 degree angle to the drive itself which runs along the side of the property.cafcdave123 said:

Reminds me of a similar situation I've got going on.RedPanda said:We have 2 driveway spaces and on Sunday someone dumped a 2 year old Merc there which means my partner can't park her car at our house.
I'd love to slash a tyre or deface it but for all I know it's a drug dealer's or stolen and someone has stashed it there. Either way it's shady and I'm thoroughly pissed off with it! I've just reported it to the council (it is taxed) but for all I know it could be weeks before they come. I f'n hate how selfish, thoughtless and self entitled 'people' like that are.
About 6 months ago a woman began parking in one of our 3 spaces in the drive. I live in a block of 3 flats; one neighbour knows nothing about the car, and the other flat has actually traded hands in the time this woman has been using the space. She's parked there around 8-7 everyday, other than Sundays, suggesting she's going to work somewhere nearby..
Her car is a bit beaten up (despite being relatively new), so I don't particularly trust her.. not to mention she's nearly ran me over twice in the past month. When she's reversing out there's no stopping her.
I initially thought "Nah, she's not going to be ballsy enough to pull in to someones drive to nick their parking spot".. I believe I'm now wrong.
The motor on a drive would have been shifted too, don't worry about comebacks, that has been dumped.
Don't waste your time shitting on it, phone the old bill and they will take it away I promise you3 -

Why would car thieves considerately park a car in a driveway, they’d just dump it anywhere and walk awaygolfaddick said:
My thoughts exactly. If its only 2 years old it must be worth quite a bit. I'd assume that its been stolen & then dumped. Take it for a joyride or use it until it is claimed.cafcdave123 said:
If it is on your drive then ignore all this private clamping bollox, put the window through, handbrake off and move it onto the road.

Had a conference call earlier which one of my mates was leading. Not my best mate, but a nice chap, likes his football, generally talks sense, etc.cabbles said:I hate business terminology at the best of times, but two phrases I’m hearing more and more recently that sicken me to the core

On the phone to this bloke in Glasgow, and my mate starts dropping in phrases like "greater granularity", "drill down", "go-to points", "process model", etc. I can't believe my ears, he's using 200 words, when 20 will do, the bloke on the other end of the line is clearly not loving the lingo and therefore has all of us at the other end of the line marked down as a bunch of Southern ponces.
Why is it apparently unacceptable to speak in plain English these days?!3 -
Bought a car on Sunday, 13k miles absolutely immaculate. Got home this evening, the bin got blown over in the wind and dented the fucking wing.1

That first dent in a new car is always the worst.0 -

You’re right about the first dent. My wife says she can’t really see it but I bloody can.
It’s a Mini Cooper, only plan on using it as a 2nd car/runabout but as it was immaculate, I’m gutted.0 -
Might check to see if a "paintless dent repair" place can fix it.1

Adverts. But in particular those you buy to make things, there’s one on at the moment to make the “iconic” routemaster London bus, apart from who would want too, in small writing in the top right hand corner, for a few seconds it tells you that you only need to buy 130 magazines at only £8.99 each, ok i cheated i rounded it up to £9 that’s £1,170 to build a model bus. Ridiculous (if its been a train then it might be a different matter:-))4

I've had 2 stolen motorbikes parked/dumped on my driveway. The first time the guy even covered the bike as if he cared about it. Was odd.DA9 said:

Should imagine it was to hide it from sight and cover the number plate in case any police cars spotted it with the description of it being nicked.Talal said:
