Vent, not worth reading:

I had a little spare time yesterday so I put together an ad to sell an old car online. It's a beater, 20 years old or so and I'm only asking a few hundred bucks because it's old, a beater and not in perfect condition. It runs, so I thought maybe someone might want it. I carefully wrote out everything that was wrong (and right) with it.

Within the first 15 minutes after posting I received two inquiries.

Both asked the same question:

"is there anything wrong with it?"

Now who is the bigger ********* idiot, the people who can't be bothered to read the description of the vehicle THAT'S RIGHT THERE IN THE AD. OF COURSE THERE ARE THINGS WRONG WITH IT IT'S A 20 YEAR OLD CAR BEING SOLD FOR JUST ABOVE SCRAP VALUE.

or me, for expecting people to read the ad?

Except that England just pissed away a commanding start.

England is the master of letting good things slip away.

When it comes to cricket it’s always LOL England.
08-01-2018 , 01:25 PM
This is the 1000th England test match.

I was reading about the stats, and in the 80s, which was the pivotal period for my cricketing development, England’s winning %age was like 29%. So yes. Lol England.

Not bots but possibly scammers. Fortunately I got some more inquiries today and one was legit and local and realistic. Rage abated.

As #InMyFeelings challenge takes off, NTSB pleads: 'Don’t jump out of a moving vehicle to dance'

And uninstall that game before it's too late!
