Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn anything.
Might have damaged the front polarizer.

I don't have sunglasses.

Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling the
film
to
replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the
bother.
A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a work
of
art.

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles. Although
they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular. One
now
looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks next
to
it.

Likely just some quirk of the plastic that produces that unusual
effect
with
****.

So you don't know then.

When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...ondon-35363991

Good luck getting everyone registered.

It's the dogs that get registered, stupid.

I rephrase for you, pedant:
"Good luck getting everyone to register their dog."

Don't need to get everyone to register their dog to
be able to work out which dog owner didn't pick up
their dog's turd most of the time.


If I don't register my dog, how can the **** be traced to my dog?


I meant that most will register their dogs and so the **** of most
dogs can be traced by to their owner.


Goody two shoes that register their dogs will already be cleaning up their ****.

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for them were already obeying the speed limit. Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.


I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.


But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of ****ing on the monitor.


The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it doesn't use up the memory for a month.

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem:

https://www.overclock.net/forum/44-m...r-problem.html

Others mention similar cat problems.

I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you have
to
walk them.

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was building
the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and ****ing
in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.

Let them do that in the UK and the moronic authorities will snatch them
up.

When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a wheel
alignment done,

Isn't that something garages do to rip you off? I've never found it
necessary.

I did, the tire


You spell it the yank way?!


I actually spell it my way, like I do with most ys instead of ies too.


The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not distinguishable from running out of energy.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?


Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.


But I know how to spell it properly.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.


Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages who seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.


I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire specialist
when I need a new tire.


The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a brand new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to change a brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge,
and
going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog
behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on the
lead!)
to **** on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.


You pull the dog away from where it's ****ing.


Doesn't stop it ****ing on the next one.


Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they
eventually
stop doing things.

Very weird, especially how they are such perfect circles. You
wouldn't think
urine would even penetrate an LCD screen. But I guess the
bottom line is
you're hosed.

In more ways then one

It's why cats aren't the dominant species on the planet. Using
urine to mark territory, ffs.

Their paws don't do flags and fences too well.

There aren't enough of them to require territory.

And yes their paws suck. You should see them trying to get a bit
of food out of the edge of a dish.

They work well for running up the vertical trunk of a tree tho.


They don't work well for running up me. They end up getting flung
across the room when their claws ends up through my skin.


Like I did say, you are a bully.


So you'd just allow a cat to tear your skin off?

So, one of your stinking cats jumped on to your desk and ****ed on
your monitor and most likely all over your desk.
Where else in your home has the bloody thing been ****ing?

Too many places. But it gets severely reprimanded and is cutting
down.
By the way, I know plenty dogs who do the same.

My dog has never ****ed on my monitor. She ****ed in the house once
when she was a 6 week old puppy - this was to be expected.
Tell us how you reprimanded the cat. You have always been a bully
who could not face up to a man. Maybe a cat is about your mark.


I'll tell you how my friend stopped his stupid puppy ****ing in the
house, he rubbed his nose in it. Animals are stupid.


When my puppy ****ed in the house she was shown the ****, given a slap, just
enough to hurt a little bit and booted out into the back garden. She has
never again ****ed in the house.


That's what I do with the cats.

If she wants a wee/poo during the night she will wake me up. So, dogs are
not so stupid.
A cat will just **** and **** in the house, stupid is as stupid owns.


A cat can use a cat flap. All but one of mine simply go outside when they need to, without having to wake me.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to ****.

some REAL trolls but EAGERLY keeps conversing with them, after they changed
nym even when it's obvious who they are, as they don't even try to hide who
they are by repeating the same bull**** they said before. Just HOW desperate
and lonely are you seniles on these groups really? LOL

Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn anything.
Might have damaged the front polarizer.

I don't have sunglasses.

Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling the
film
to
replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the
bother.
A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a
work
of
art.

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles.
Although
they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular. One
now
looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks
next
to
it.

Likely just some quirk of the plastic that produces that unusual
effect
with
****.

So you don't know then.

When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...ondon-35363991

Good luck getting everyone registered.

It's the dogs that get registered, stupid.

I rephrase for you, pedant:
"Good luck getting everyone to register their dog."

Don't need to get everyone to register their dog to
be able to work out which dog owner didn't pick up
their dog's turd most of the time.

If I don't register my dog, how can the **** be traced to my dog?

I meant that most will register their dogs and so the **** of most
dogs can be traced by to their owner.


Goody two shoes that register their dogs will already be cleaning up their
****.


Don't believe that


Either you're a good law abiding citizen or you're not.

and plenty of those fools hang the
bag with the dog **** in it on a tree or something,
even worse than leaving it on the ground.


I guess they think the council will collect them. It does stop you standing on it. And to be fair, some places could do with more bins - how far would you carry one?

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for them were
already obeying the speed limit.


I don't.


Don't slow down for them or don't obey the speed limit?

Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.


And get to pay for the repairs to their cars.


Suspension is designed for that.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of ****ing on the monitor.


The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it doesn't use
up the memory for a month.


Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to ****.


They tend to choose favourite places.

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem:

https://www.overclock.net/forum/44-m...r-problem.html

Others mention similar cat problems.

I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you
have
to
walk them.

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was
building
the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit
every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and
****ing
in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.

Let them do that in the UK and the moronic authorities will snatch
them
up.

When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a
wheel
alignment done,

Isn't that something garages do to rip you off? I've never found it
necessary.

I did, the tire

You spell it the yank way?!

I actually spell it my way, like I do with most ys instead of ies too.


The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not distinguishable
from running out of energy.


Of course its distinguishable from the context.


It still makes you look like an American dumbass.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.


But I know how to spell it properly.


I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it that way.


We invented the language. Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire specialist
when I need a new tire.


The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to change a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).


Clearly an operation best avoided.


Most garages are best avoided. I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock and fit it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're cheap. One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me £93 (before labour) for a calliper I could have got for £30 on Ebay. Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT, and they gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts, handed them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on his own parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading bodies, and went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question. I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an exhaust bracket (£3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for £2), then only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both things.

came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge,
and
going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog
behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on the
lead!)
to **** on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's ****ing.

Doesn't stop it ****ing on the next one.


Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.


Doesn't stop it, psychopath.


They prefer not to get beaten. Why do you think people smack their kids?

I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they
eventually
stop doing things.

Very weird, especially how they are such perfect circles. You

urine would even penetrate an LCD screen. But I guess the
bottom line is
you're hosed.

In more ways then one

It's why cats aren't the dominant species on the planet. Using
urine to mark territory, ffs.

Their paws don't do flags and fences too well.

There aren't enough of them to require territory.

And yes their paws suck. You should see them trying to get a bit
of food out of the edge of a dish.

They work well for running up the vertical trunk of a tree tho.

They don't work well for running up me. They end up getting flung
across the room when their claws ends up through my skin.

Like I did say, you are a bully.


So you'd just allow a cat to tear your skin off?


No cat has ever torn my skin off, or tried to run up my leg either.

I used to get bitten a bit when I tormented
a cat as a kid but don't do that anymore.


I was scratched severely by one of my cats when I was trying to comb it. It got ****ing belted.

So, one of your stinking cats jumped on to your desk and ****ed
on your monitor and most likely all over your desk.
Where else in your home has the bloody thing been ****ing?

Too many places. But it gets severely reprimanded and is cutting
down.
By the way, I know plenty dogs who do the same.

My dog has never ****ed on my monitor. She ****ed in the house once
when she was a 6 week old puppy - this was to be expected.
Tell us how you reprimanded the cat. You have always been a bully
who could not face up to a man. Maybe a cat is about your mark.

I'll tell you how my friend stopped his stupid puppy ****ing in the
house, he rubbed his nose in it. Animals are stupid.

When my puppy ****ed in the house she was shown the ****, given a
slap, just enough to hurt a little bit and booted out into the back
garden. She has never again ****ed in the house.


That's what I do with the cats.


Lilke **** you do! You hurt them you ****.


I only hurt them enough to scare them into not doing it again, just like you did with the puppy. I have no desire to injure it and pay a vet bill.

If she wants a wee/poo during the night she will wake me up. So,
dogs are not so stupid.
A cat will just **** and **** in the house, stupid is as stupid owns.


A cat can use a cat flap. All but one of mine simply go outside when
they need to, without having to wake me.


And **** in a neighbour's garden, or the litter tray in your house.


I have no litter tray in my house, they **** in my garden anyway, as I've fenced it in. I got fed up of some getting stolen or run over.

Their paws don't do flags and fences too well.

There aren't enough of them to require territory.

And yes their paws suck. You should see them trying to get a
bit of food out of the edge of a dish.

They work well for running up the vertical trunk of a tree tho.

They don't work well for running up me. They end up getting flung
across the room when their claws ends up through my skin.

Like I did say, you are a bully.

So you'd just allow a cat to tear your skin off?

I don't have a ****ing cat and never will do.


I don't walk my cat. You have to walk your dog.


I do not have to walk my dog, I like to walk my dog.


You have a choice?

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem:

https://www.overclock.net/forum/44-m...r-problem.html

Others mention similar cat problems.

I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you
have
to
walk them.

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was
building
the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit
every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and
****ing
in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.

Let them do that in the UK and the moronic authorities will snatch
them
up.

When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a
wheel
alignment done,

Isn't that something garages do to rip you off? I've never found it
necessary.

I did, the tire

You spell it the yank way?!

I actually spell it my way, like I do with most ys instead of ies too.

The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not distinguishable
from running out of energy.


Of course its distinguishable from the context.


It still makes you look like an American dumbass.


Only to fools like you.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.

But I know how to spell it properly.


I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it that way.


We invented the language.


Nope, you stole it from everyone else.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?


I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.


The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to change a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).


Clearly an operation best avoided.


Most garages are best avoided.


I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it cost peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock and fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're cheap.


Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me £93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for £30 on Ebay.


So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT, and they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts, handed them
to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on his own parts.
I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading bodies, and went to
Foz Sports, who did the work without question.


We fit them ourselves.

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an exhaust
bracket (£3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for £2), then only
charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both things.


came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something
very similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street
verge,
and
going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up the dog
behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on the
lead!)
to **** on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's ****ing.

Doesn't stop it ****ing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.


Doesn't stop it, psychopath.


They prefer not to get beaten.


Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.

Why do you think people smack their kids?


Dogs work differently to kids.

I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they
eventually stop doing things.

No cat has ever torn my skin off, or tried to run up my leg either.

I used to get bitten a bit when I tormented
a cat as a kid but don't do that anymore.


I was scratched severely by one of my cats when I was trying to comb it.


I've never actually been stupid enough to comb a cat, or bath one either.

It got ****ing belted.


No surprise there, psychopath.

Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn
anything.
Might have damaged the front polarizer.

I don't have sunglasses.

Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling
the
film
to
replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the
bother.
A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a
work
of
art.

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles.
Although
they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular.
One
now
looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks
next
to
it.

Likely just some quirk of the plastic that produces that unusual
effect
with
****.

So you don't know then.

When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-en...ondon-35363991

Good luck getting everyone registered.

It's the dogs that get registered, stupid.

I rephrase for you, pedant:
"Good luck getting everyone to register their dog."

Don't need to get everyone to register their dog to
be able to work out which dog owner didn't pick up
their dog's turd most of the time.

If I don't register my dog, how can the **** be traced to my dog?

I meant that most will register their dogs and so the **** of most
dogs can be traced by to their owner.

Goody two shoes that register their dogs will already be cleaning up
their
****.

Don't believe that


Either you're a good law abiding citizen or you're not.


Its not that black and white, most obviously with the
fools that hang their bags of dog **** on trees etc.


I see nothing wrong with that, they're preventing someone from treading in it. And it doesn't smell inside the bag.

and plenty of those fools hang the
bag with the dog **** in it on a tree or something,
even worse than leaving it on the ground.


I guess they think the council will collect them.


Much more likely that they don't want to carry it around.


Well it is ****ing disgusting. Animals should learn to use flush toilets.

It does stop you standing on it.


I only stand on it once a decade or so and even you
should be able to work out how to get if off the
bottom of your shoe if someone was actually silly
enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane.


I shouldn't have to look at every step I make.

And to be fair, some places could do with more bins - how far would you
carry one?


I'm not actually silly enough to collect dog ****
and even you arent actually silly enough to collect
the **** your cats leave in the neighbour's gardens.


So you just leave it for someone to stand in?

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for them were
already obeying the speed limit.


I don't.


Don't slow down for them or don't obey the speed limit?


Don't obey the speed limit but do slow down for them.


Are you one of those annoying people who slow down and speed up for every one? It does make it easy to overtake though.

Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.

And get to pay for the repairs to their cars.


Suspension is designed for that.


Wrong.


What do you think it's for?

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of ****ing on the monitor.

The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it doesn't use
up the memory for a month.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to ****.


They tend to choose favourite places.


Unlikely that particular cat did.


Why do you say that?

It's why cats aren't the dominant species on the planet.
Using urine to mark territory, ffs.

Their paws don't do flags and fences too well.

There aren't enough of them to require territory.

And yes their paws suck. You should see them trying to get a
bit of food out of the edge of a dish.

They work well for running up the vertical trunk of a tree tho..

They don't work well for running up me. They end up getting
flung across the room when their claws ends up through my skin.

Like I did say, you are a bully.

So you'd just allow a cat to tear your skin off?

I don't have a ****ing cat and never will do.

I don't walk my cat. You have to walk your dog.

I do not have to walk my dog, I like to walk my dog.


You have a choice?


Of course I do. The daily 30 mile

No cat has ever torn my skin off, or tried to run up my leg either.

I used to get bitten a bit when I tormented

I was scratched severely by one of my cats when I was trying to
comb it.


I've never actually been stupid enough to comb a cat, or bath one

You would if one had fleas.

It got ****ing belted.


No surprise there, psychopath.


It caused me pain, so obviously I did the same back.


I do remember the time that you shouted your head off at a lone woman driver
when she chucked a fag out of her car window.
You did admit that you would not have done the same to a man driver.
Cats are just about your mark.

I have yelled at men too, I recently told my neighbour (who is twice my size) to go **** himself, and to stop obeying silly speed limit signs and get out of my bloody way. And you disgust me, being a "fire person" (your own words) and not realising how dangerous lit fags and petrol are together.

I don't have sunglasses.

Good luck getting everyone registered.

It's the dogs that get registered, stupid.

I rephrase for you, pedant:
"Good luck getting everyone to register their dog."

Don't need to get everyone to register their dog to
be able to work out which dog owner didn't pick up
their dog's turd most of the time.

If I don't register my dog, how can the **** be traced to my dog?

I meant that most will register their dogs and so the **** of most
dogs can be traced by to their owner.

Goody two shoes that register their dogs will already be cleaning up
their
****.

Don't believe that

Either you're a good law abiding citizen or you're not.


Its not that black and white, most obviously with the
fools that hang their bags of dog **** on trees etc.


I see nothing wrong with that,


Yes, you actually are that stupid.

they're preventing someone from treading in it.


But now you can walk right into the turd.

And it doesn't smell inside the bag.


If I blindfolded you, you wouldn't be able
to pick where a turd was on the ground.

and plenty of those fools hang the bag with the dog **** in it on a
tree or something,
even worse than leaving it on the ground.


I guess they think the council will collect them.


Much more likely that they don't want to carry it around.


Well it is ****ing disgusting. Animals should learn to use flush toilets.


Turns out its quite easy to get a cat to do that, but you don't
bother. You let them **** in the neighbours gardens and yours.

It does stop you standing on it.


I only stand on it once a decade or so and even you
should be able to work out how to get if off the
bottom of your shoe if someone was actually silly
enough to lend you a seeing eye dog and a white cane.


I shouldn't have to look at every step I make.


You don't.

And to be fair, some places could do with more bins - how far would you
carry one?


I'm not actually silly enough to collect dog ****
and even you arent actually silly enough to collect
the **** your cats leave in the neighbour's gardens.


So you just leave it for someone to stand in?


No one is stupid enough to stand in it and you
leave you cat **** for someone to stand in.

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for them
were
already obeying the speed limit.


I don't.


Don't slow down for them or don't obey the speed limit?


Don't obey the speed limit but do slow down for them.


Are you one of those annoying people who slow down and speed up for every
one?


Depends on the bump. The ones down the
main street don't need to slow down much
and we only have one racetrack road which
has a 3 on it and those you don't have to
slow down if you are going at the speed limit.

It does make it easy to overtake though.


Nope, all of ours are on roads with only
one lane in each direction and the main
street is a fully divided road, no overtaking.

They're all too new to show up on our ancient
street view which is now 10 years old.

I did see the google car about 18 months ago but it must
have had a major fault, the new footage never showed up.

Either that or some paranoid person blew it to bits or something.

Speeders like me ignore them and bounce over them.

And get to pay for the repairs to their cars.

Suspension is designed for that.


Wrong.


What do you think it's for?


Normal variations in the road surface.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of ****ing on the monitor.

The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it doesn't
use
up the memory for a month.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to ****.

They tend to choose favourite places.


Unlikely that particular cat did.


Why do you say that?


Because this is the only time its ****ed on that monitor.

Then why do you think there's a fine for letting your dog ****?

Cats tend to do it in flowerbeds. It doesn't get stood in, just all over the hands of people weeding the garden :-)

It's as daft as speedbumps, those that bother slowing down for them

I don't.

and we only have one racetrack road which

Do you have those stupid square ones? If you straddle them well, you can go about double the limit.

And for any bump, if you accelerate as you hit it, you lift the front of your car up and glide over it.

It does make it easy to overtake though.


Nope, all of ours are on roads with only

What do you mean fully divided? Nobody gonna stop me overtaking in a built up area.

It can handle much more than that. The only time I've had to replace suspension was when it was old and rusty. It can take quite a knock otherwise.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.

I use a camera and know what each cat looks like.

But dna is easier to do after the event. Its unlikely that you
will have the cat caught in the act of ****ing on the monitor.

The camera runs continuously and has motion detection, so it doesn't
use
up the memory for a month.

Sure, but you are very unlikely to have the camera
pointing at where that cat chooses to ****.

They tend to choose favourite places.

Unlikely that particular cat did.


Why do you say that?


Because this is the only time its ****ed on that monitor.


No it isn't. It's just the only time it seeped into the LCD panel.

Looks like you are not the first to have this problem:

https://www.overclock.net/forum/44-m...r-problem.html

Others mention similar cat problems.

I like the advice "upgrade from a cat to a dog". Trouble is you
have
to
walk them.

Nope, plenty of them are happy to walk themselves. When I was
building
the
house, one of the neighbours dogs used to have a regular circuit
every
single
day, regular as clockwork, around the same route, sniffing and
****ing
in
the
same places every day. Hilarious to watch.

Let them do that in the UK and the moronic authorities will snatch
them
up.

When I walked back to the place to pick up my car after getting a
wheel
alignment done,

Isn't that something garages do to rip you off? I've never found
it
necessary.

I did, the tire

You spell it the yank way?!

I actually spell it my way, like I do with most ys instead of ies
too.

The trouble with putting a tire on your car is it's not
distinguishable
from running out of energy.

Of course its distinguishable from the context.

It still makes you look like an American dumbass.


Only to fools like you.


I use proper English.


I couldn't care less what stupid poms claim is proper english.

Do you also say aloominum, erb, stoopid, stoodent?

Nope, and I say tire the same way you do too.

But I know how to spell it properly.

I know how you poms spell it and arent silly enough to spell it that
way.

We invented the language.


Nope, you stole it from everyone else.


It's called English, because it's from England.


Wrong again, and it isnt from that soggy little
frigid island anyway, its stolen from all sorts
of places all over the world, even from the pakis.

Why copy a yank instead of a Brit?


I don't copy anyone. I do what makes sense.

That's why I don't fart around with ies and use ys instead.


I am logical with some words. I say and write pronounciation, because it
comes from pronounce, not pronunce.


I couldn't care less where it comes from.

What matters is whether the individual reading it knows what I
am referring to, and they do when I spell it tire, from the context.

was wearing on one side and so needed to
be replaced sooner than it would otherwise need to be.

The alignment was well out and I don't get that effect
anymore now that the alignment has been fixed.

Ah, fair enough, I did that once too. What annoys me is garages who
seem
to think it should be done every time you replace a tyre.

I've never had one do that but I mostly use the cheapest tire
specialist
when I need a new tire.

The one that wanted to align it was Kwik Fit. They also sold me a
brand
new battery which registered 4 volts, and didn't know how to change a
brake calliper (we only do the pads mate).

Clearly an operation best avoided.


Most garages are best avoided.


I havent found that with any of them, but then I do almost
all of the work myself and only get stuff like the tires done
for free because I don't have the equipment to do a proper
dynamic balance or wheel alignment myself and can't
justify the cost of that equipment when I need stuff like a
wheel alignment so rarely. Just the once in 60 years in fact.
And it costs peanuts to get it done by a pro who knows
what he is doing and did a brilliant job. Cost just $66 and
he identified why I was getting a significant wheel tramp
at a particular speed which neither me or my mate who is
also an excellent mechanic didn't realise what the cause was.

I often went to SMS for tyres, since they have every size in stock and
fit
it while you wait without booking, just turn up, and they're cheap.


Same with the operation I use except I did notice that one customer
had to have their tires ordered. Dunno how common that is with
them. Cant even remember what those tires were for.


That can happen with sporty BMWs with unusual tyres.


I don't recall it was one of those, one of the smaller
asian things that someone had got for his daughter
and she turned her nose up at and signed up for a new
car just after starting her first job with a bank loan.

But if you have a car many others have, hey should be in stock.


Mine have always been and most of the time others have
showed up while I was there, theirs has been in stock too.
Not always tho. I don't care if they don't have some in stock
and so can charge lower prices for the common tires like mine.

One day I got them to fix my brakes - they charged me £93
(before labour) for a calliper I could have got for £30 on Ebay.


So you should have checked that before you got them to do that.


At that time the car was almost undriveable, I couldn't be bothered taking
it back home and in again.


And you know so little about cars that you didn't know what needed doing.

Another garage, Farmer's Autocare, I took the car for an MOT, and they
gave me a list of what needed doing. I bought all the parts, handed
them to the guy, and he refused to fit them, he wanted markup on his own
parts. I called them cowboys, reported them to a few trading bodies, and
went to Foz Sports, who did the work without question.


We fit them ourselves.


I'm a **** mechanic. I've never even replaced a brake.


I've done a lot more than that, including wheel bearings.

That mate of mine has just bought a Merc C180 for
just $1500 which had a bit of miss in the engine and
got the non genuine part needed to fix it for peanuts.

But after what Clare and 'Arlen' have said about high end kraut cars, it
will be interesting to see what else ends up needing fixing over time.

Him and his son had previously had 3 Hyundai Grandeurs
that also cost them peanuts and ended up with 2 good ones
and have cost them nothing because they have sold what
parts they didn't need themselves of the third on ebay etc.

I go to Foz all the time now, the last visit, he replaced an exhaust
bracket (£3.50) and topped up the gearbox oil (a litre for £2), then
only charged me half an hour labour on top of that for both things.


came across a big alsatian out on its own doing something very
similarly with most of the trees and gates on the street verge,
and going right down the driveway of some houses and bailing up
the dog behind the gate at the end of the drive. Hilarious.

What annoys me is when people allow their dogs (while still on the
lead!)
to **** on people's property.

You've clearly never walked a dog on a lead.
There is no way to stop that dog behaviour.

You pull the dog away from where it's ****ing.

Doesn't stop it ****ing on the next one.

Pull it again, if it continues, kick it.

Doesn't stop it, psychopath.

They prefer not to get beaten.


Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had a dog.


Any animal or human will avoid what makes it be punished.


I'm not actually stupid enough to have a
dog on a lead when out walking with a dog.

Why do you think people smack their kids?


Dogs work differently to kids.


No, they learn just like us.


Thanks for that completely superfluous
proof that you have never had one.

Why do you think you can make them sit, fetch, etc?


Because they like doing it with fetching.

And can't teach a cat to fetch, for a reason.

I find most cats are trainable. If you get angry enough, they
eventually stop doing things.

Very weird, especially how they are such perfect circles. You
wouldn't think
urine would even penetrate an LCD screen. But I guess the
bottom line is
you're hosed.

In more ways then one

It's why cats aren't the dominant species on the planet. Using
urine to mark territory, ffs.

Their paws don't do flags and fences too well.

There aren't enough of them to require territory.

And yes their paws suck. You should see them trying to get a bit
of food out of the edge of a dish.

They work well for running up the vertical trunk of a tree tho.

They don't work well for running up me. They end up getting flung
across the room when their claws ends up through my skin.

Like I did say, you are a bully.

So you'd just allow a cat to tear your skin off?

No cat has ever torn my skin off, or tried to run up my leg either.

I used to get bitten a bit when I tormented
a cat as a kid but don't do that anymore.

I was scratched severely by one of my cats when I was trying to comb it.


I've never actually been stupid enough to comb a cat, or bath one either.


You would if one had fleas.


Nope, never did, used a flea collar instead.

It got ****ing belted.


No surprise there, psychopath.


It caused me pain, so obviously I did the same back.


Yep, you clearly are a psychopath.

I don't walk my cat. You have to walk your dog.

I do not have to walk my dog, I like to walk my dog.

You have a choice?


Of course I do. The daily 30 mile


You misspelt 3 mile.

Wrong. Plenty of dogs do fine without any walks.
