TOTALLY agree mate

The thing with this site, which makes it what it is, is freedom of speech. We keep an eye on posts and when they go over the top we try and sort it as soon as possible.

imagine the anorak type site it would be

man 1:" got some green injectors fitted today, think there well ace"

man2:"so have i, great in they, anyone else got em too"

or what about conversations about how much boost to run


infact do go to any car meets as some people do talk about cars all night

about 1.5yrs ago

its different when it was justified or about somthing specific, but i was getting jip about stuff that was totaly bullshit/madeup etc, and in real life youd just punch the fuckers, but cant do that here so i just fucked off

have digs at you when you go on and on (and ON ) about stuff you know nothing about, different story there

LOL@you talking about chips on shoulders, so you think you not got one then?

this sites never changed.

dont see a problem with someone getting jip for somthing they saying that is bullshit or irrelivant, or whatever.

dont see a problem with mates taking piss out of each other.

dont see a problem if the person was given grief by the first person for no good reason, and is just giving it back.

BUT when its strangers giving someone jip for nothing, just cause they can, thats just fucking gay.

Dingy left as he was getting jip, but generally he brought it on himself by being a wanker (in various ways) on here for so long to almost everyone, so got a bad rep.
But he did get more just cause of bandwagon jumpers, same as IMA. And same as PON sometimes, and so on...

steve for once ( and only once) i TOTALLY agree

but this forum as too many band wagon passengers

look at the chin comments to pon, thats the easiest one to mention, soo many people do it and most have never met him

the problem is that it was started by people who know him and other people who know the people he knows ect carried it on


now he no longer finds it funny when people he dont know takes the piss out of him


the only thing that is bollocks is on the other hand he gives it to people he has never met

i really dont have a chip on my shoulder though, i admit i personally cant stand ya but im sure we discussed this a few years ago, infact im sure it was on the old RSOC

we are 2 people who dont like each other, all well and good, just i personally would rather ya fucked off and left me alone rather than have to rfeellike i must reply and bow down to your level


can ya feel the love on this site

chin things about pon was what sprung to mind, total strangers giving it the jip, what a bunch of pricks.

i dont think pon gives people grief for nothing tho, he has to you, but that was cause of stuff you go on about that you dont seem to actually have a clue about (i know its being helpful, but the advice is bizarre at best).
its not like he randomly attacks you on here for nothing (well not that ive seen )

you saying "i must reply and bow down to your level" proves you have a chip on your shoulder, as for some reason you feel your "above" me

jus got off phone with a mate aranging tonights plans, and something he said summed it up...

load of em went out to watch the football and have a few drinks.
afterwards a mate of ours called another mate of ours (who he isnt mates with, if you get me) a nickname we call him thats not nasty, but not that nice.
he said "only my mates can call me that" and banged him clean out in the street
thats my problem with the internet, cant do that, if you could itd be a lot more peaceful...

steve now thats total crap !!!

ive never been above ANYONE in my life, dont belive in it at all

my advice is based on what i see and have seen/heard, now at the same time you do the same thing,

ive never had a dig at pon before, infact i ignored it and assumed it WAS me being silly as ive seen him in the pub and some where else before and he was never rude/spoke down ect

lower my level was to say starting on someone when i dont actually hate the person as ive never met him adn in all honesty i would prob never bother to be any more than general comments if you was around

dont forget that when you did leave that long time ago there was a few people on here slaging you off and i NEVER jump on them band wagons

i personally dont like being spoken down to though,,,,,, nobody does and tbh it could be m making jokes about me being poor ect or even stating who my actual mates are, some people dont understand and only belive what they seen or know


i genuinly dont hate anyone except for people who have PERSONALLY affected my life in some way, a person living in anoter part of england dont come into that catogory


alot of my replies to pon and you have just been to get up ya nose just like it does mine as i come on here to chill out, if i wanted to argue woth people i can do it face to face, dont need to find people on the net to argue to, you should see my neighbours

but the problem in life is that some people ignore comments for a while but get the hump about it, just dont say , again just like pon did, he never liked the commets but he never bothered to make a issue of it till it got too much, then people think hes making a big deal for nothing

notice that no matter what my feelings are to pon i dont use that one route to get to him, tbh he iritates the shit out of me but i dont get personal with things that he cant look back at and maybe ignore and not bother with

im a chilled very over spoken person but i generally talk about all the things ive seen, some people dont like to talk about things they have done though, but that aint me

don't come on, this site is FULL of information on absolutely everything , all you got to do is search around or ask. The banter is what makes it so popular in many ways and if you find it offensive then maybe you shouldn't come on.
This is THE BEST ford site going by a mile!!!!!!

Stop being such a big girl.

Yeah it cost £20 to become gold member ( completely voluntary ) but i have saved literally hundreds by asking advice and buying selling bits and bobs at good prices.
