Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    ...out on a message today, I came across the attached. Clearly, not a happy bunny. He was parked just up of the M6, on a major N road, for maximum effect. No shortage of people pulling up for a look/yak, either.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    LOL, I remember a fella in Limerick going around with something like that actaully printed onto the side of his car about a local dealership.

    It got the attention needed, I can't remember the final outcome though :P

    Why would they replace his truck?

    From reading the other thread; it's almost new, he bought it new, paid 165k for it and it's broken 80 times since, and they've kept fobbing him off. Now that it's out of warranty, they've fobbed him off.
