After 30 years with the company this year, I'm using the last of LSL starting in 4 weeks' time and will exhaust all my accumulated leave and sickies before I retire as I see bad times for the steel industry. Cheers. |

I hate when you try to buy something on Gumtree and the seller sporadically replies
Trying to buy a Ute tub for a job, seller has no phone contact details listed, so I send a message yesterday morning asking if its available and the price, four hours later I get "yes", so I reply straight away with when can I pick it up, all I get is crickets So I send him a message last night if he could send me his number so I can call, still crickets, then I get a message with send your number and I will get straight back to you, so instantly I sent my number, crickets again. Like WTF, do you wanna sell it or not ?, a contact number with the first yes would have had this deal done and dusted. I will just buy the other one that's listed instead, little further out, but at least I will have the job done by the time this other peanut calls me. |

So half hour drive to get there, well when I get there, there is a MR Triton tub that looks like it has been dropped off the back of a truck, not a straight panel on it, I would say worse than the one we are going to replace, he comes out and I just turn and start walking away, he yells out arent you going to make me a offer, F'ing time waster, so I drive home to find the other 1 I was looking at has gone off Facebook . I have now found another, I hope its as he has described, will see tonight when I get there. |

my daughter was advertising a 10 year old electric upright oven give away.
GIVE AWAY was mentioned 6 times in the add, too many numbats asking how much. First person to views say " I'll take it how much you want for it?" Hubby (I love my SIN) says "$100" cash is duly handed over, oven dissapears and everybody is happy

Its dumb****ery or shitfoolery to expect a pristine item delevered on a silver platter if its 2nd hand and cheap or free. Reminds me of this chick i knew years ago. She paid $500 for a 1984 camry with 8 months rego. Rust, no issue, it had heaps. What she went at the seller for after purchase was the Ac didnt work. The 500 was for the rego in my opinion. |

Good old Gumtree, hence why I still have 3 heavy 5th wheel turntables sitting waiting for the scrap man to pick up.
Advertise for free and the first thing they ask is can you deliver ? Yeah right.
