I think everyone thinks of the petrol they've saved when they get recovered - it's how you put a good spin on a bad situation! :
To be honest I couldn't care less whether it was a wind up or not, I'd be more interested to know if people's attitudes would have been the same if you'd admitted to claiming for a loss or theft that never actually occurred. They're pretty similar imho.
Ok ...update, built one with a possible flaw, no hole for the kitten and bread.....oh well back to the shed ;D
Why am I being an arse Steve; because I've got a different opinion to you? There's a few about like that, didn't have you down as one of them though.
Anyone with half a brain can see I really couldn't give a toss what people think of my online attitude. It's the Internet, why care what people think, it's not real life? The people I've met, I get on fine with, being called an arse by someone will make me no less friendly towards them so I don't see the issue. Feel free to stand up for your little friends though, I'm sure they appreciate it.
Its funny because I try an be as nice on here as i would if i was talking to people face to face. First impresions count and all that. if you have been arguing on here about some silly little point dont you think that makes it hard when you first get round the camp fire with someone? They will remember the conversations and some take them to heart. Its just about being nice thats all. woody doesnt need me to stand up for him he was making you look silly enough to get someone who knows you to call you an arse Then for you to respond in an i care not a jot attitude makes you look even worse1 Its just a shame you seem to want to jump into any slightly controversial thread and start throwing your weight around without a care of the "what if we actually meet around a fire ?" thoughts the rest of us have. Its your life mate live it but you do seem to be comming across as a bit of a (in your mates words!) an arse! By the way if we are talking brains I have a first class honours degree so im guessing that makes me a full brain person!! academically an all that! so I should be able to see twice what you can with your half brain thoughts!! and my thoughts are be nice on the internet because first impressions count!
For a self confessed genius your post is quite hypocritical. I won't point out in exactly which part, you should be able to find that yourself. I'm out, I'll just comment on inane / flowery threads from now on. Come to Techenders and have a beer, you'll realise im not that bad.
