Default F**king "mates"

Feeling rather PISSED off jusnow, story goes........

I have a petrol tank to be fitted to my car, and a mate agreed last night he'd help me today! said he'd be down around half 10!
So i wake up 10am sharp to get stuff ready, wait till 11 and still no sign, so i ring his fone.......no answer! so the gas man comes to service the boiler and he's here till half12, still no sign of my mate.....typical i thought, h ecan never keep time and will PROBABLY be in his bed, so i ring him again, still no answer? so i leave it till 12:45 and ring his house, his mum sais he's up in his room and to ring his mobile.......so ok i ring his mobile again, nope, no answer! so i think to myself, "he MAY be online, or atleast i can leave a message cos he's usually always signed in!.
so i come online at about 12:55 and guess who's online and not set to away or ought.........yup my mate, takes him 5 mins to write back after i say "take it im not getting a hand today then!?"
then he writes back:

yknI says:
alright mate....been busy all morning gettin shit sorted iwth the bank, college work and shit...il help you another day
DavvyG says:
it's cool
DavvyG says:
a fone call to tell me yu wouldnt be down would of been good
yknI says:
yeah sorry...ne credit and been busy so just never thought really (sup with your house fone?)
DavvyG says:
k

pissed off, so fuck it i'll do it myself cant rely on no cvnt anymore!

Well annoying. Me and a mate were doing an engine swap on an old Mk3 Escort and a mate promised to give us a hand. 10:00 came and we had finished but were fealing a bit pooped so popped into the pub still half covered in car grime to find the mate that was sposed to be helping us in the pub.

Then the cheeky git moaned at us for not getting to the pub for 8:00 like we'd said we should be able to. Nearly throttled him

I can see that you have joined the club, where so called friends say they will help but always!!!! seem to flop and give you some sort of excuse. Been there aswell!!

This is strange as these are the same who always need your help later, usually related to your car or theirs!!! Very strange, but comes around will go around!!!

It's not worth getting heated about the situation because it doesn't help the health.

Keep progressing!!

I think i may have spoken to once very briefly in London at aces at least near last year but i think you didn't have the custom inlet plenum (not too sure).

i can understand how you lads feel about some mates ive had this done to me.

the day before ford fair i put a full neon light kit on a mates car i told him i would do it for £25 it took me 6 hours to do it tidy, quess what the twat still hasent paid me. i tel every one now that i charge £20 an hour and now i get told to fuck off by my mates as its to much. garages down here charge £40 an hour plus so why the fuss over £20. i go out of my way to do things for them but now i dont anymore, at one time i would jump start a car for them or anyone for nothing now i charge £10.

oh by the way dave that tex report come back this norning it said failed
