Lenny Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 7 minutes ago, GMX said: I bought some mud flaps off him, when I got the Mk1 Focus on his ebay account, allegedly genuine Ford one's. Apart from the fact they looked nothing like OE Ford when they arrived, the quality was abysmal and he wasn't selling them that much cheaper than say, Ford Parts UK. Paypal refunded me, when he didn't respond. He's been trading on ebay a lot longer than the dates given in that article. When I read the article linked above regarding the case, ItIt says "Ford had previously warned him to stop" 😁 can imagine a brand new ford transit pulling up and sales staff in balaclava's doing a vistuality 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a wife, but my mother. Without going into detail; mental health problems, alcoholism and a manipulative personality. I think you can imagine how those three come together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother's problem is a bit more complicated... She can do without alcohol, and stay off it when working and driving, but when she starts drinking, it is a downward spiral, which can result in some very poor behaviour, especially if she cannot get more alcohol. But, there is no point dwelling on it. Alcoholics (regardless of the "type") cannot be helped by others, and need to make the change themselves. Some will never change, my mother being a prime example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't easy, but sadly you get used to it and know what to expect, and how not to exacerbate the situation. Basically, let her keep drinking (within reason) until she falls asleep, and then wakes up the next morning sober and things are OK again, until the "next time".

GMX Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 I don't like the way the forecasted "occasional shower" has developed into non-stop rain Everything I had planned to do today is outside. I keep having to stop for the "occasional showers" to pass by Six times I've had to abort mowing the lawn, I haven't even got half of it mowed, and now the sun is setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
