Not sure if it would work but is it like Google when you put a minus sign in front of the word it excludes it?

Talking of Ebay....
I generally cast an eye over items that come up for sale in the local antiques, specialty, and general auctions and it's interesting to see the amount of stuff that gets bought at these sales which then is listed on Ebay by a punter at twice the price. Of course there's nothing wrong with trying to turn an easy profit but it never ceases to amaze me when they repeatedly relist the item at the same price time and time again ad infinitum. If something doesn't sell first or second time round it's probably time to review your asking price. Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades.

I never did that sort of thing at that age so I'm damned if I'd let them get away with it.

People in a ridiculous unnecessary rush and tare at petrol stations.
Today admittedly a little narrow I parked next to the shop to buy coal as it's right next to it which I wouldn't normally do. A car parked next to me at the pump which I parked alongside because there was no room. Anyway he just had to back up when he came out a little and out the other way. What does he do... Pop out the shop look at me like daggers, rev his engine up and edge towards me whilst looking at me. Forces me to move just for the sake of it because he obviously can't reverse... Makes the person at the other pump in front move for him too and then looks at me like it's my fault when the fat just had to reverse 8ft and out and did it on purpose. 
Still looks like one of these highways blokes with hi vis on and didn't look very intelligent. Was as round as he was high in a little mans disease car. Really annoys me people acting so stupid and aggressive for the sake of it.. What happened to the Highway Code and being considerate, if he wouldn't have had such a face on him I'd have just said I can move for a second, or done so automatically.

A pox on the old f@arts who I encounter every now and again coming the other way at a slightly staggered junction who insist on signalling right while they wait to cross and then left when they are halfway across

I'm an old fart.
I've had two accidents in the last six months. Both caused by youngsters. One idiot had his wife and baby on board. |
