Here's mine, yeah I am sad and have my own band on my desktop, hahaha, I am the one with X's on my hands obviously, haha! Davey

Agreed, he is the second best Davey, after me of course Davey

Don't pretend you don't agree with me Jon! Davey

I got my lip pieced there and my parents went berzerk too, haha, even though I didn't even live with them anymore They still make me take it out when I go round, but it looks good though! Davey PS: I will get bashed for flirting on TF but who cares, you have lush eyes Susanne, in fact you are generally lush!!!!!

See, they're talking about Firemen in a porn thread, THEY NEED ME! Davey

Haha, I give this thread till about 4pm! I'm saying nowt, I can't be trusted! Davey

Why? Out of interest! Davey (sxe)

I've had this conversation with Poopipe many a time! We think we should both become senior members because the porn thread needs us, you simply can't have a thread about smut without me and Poopipe, and Anzo for that matter!!! We have endless knowledge to bring to the thread and it would make TF a cleaner place as it would give us an outlet for our dirty minds! You know it makes sense!! It's unlikely to happen however as both of us have made ourselves unpopular with the bosses for the above reason, haha! Davey

A lot of signal boosters don't actually boost anything, they simply reduce static around the phone which makes it easier to pick up signal. This is good for 2 reasons, you get better signal and your phone uses less battery power searching for signal! I have one, and I'm very rarely without signal, but that might just be bacause T-Mobile have good coverage, so who knows! Davey

Did you not know already? Davey

True but I'm like the other 50 million people who have swallows and hearts and scrolls and flames, hahaha, never mind! I'm not keen on the dragon though either, personal preference, get it done in colour really high quality and you will be slightly more individual because most dragons I've seen have been done black and done bad! Davey

Well the heart hasn't been redone yet so the second one is the same it's just faded so the sketchy shading doesn't show as much, but glad you agree it looks better. Once the heart, scroll and flames are redone I'll post another pic. JJ has said he's gonna change the flames quite a bit as they are shite, haha! Davey

Haha, the chest hair was just not visible on the first one, but the chin hair is neccessary otherwise I do actually look 12, which I know you like Jon but I am a real man now, you have to come to terms with it! Davey

I thought I'd post a quick pic to show how my rework has gone so far. Please ignore the fact that I look jaundiced in the right hand pic! The left had pic is before. It looks ok there if I'm honest but this was the day it was finished, it faded a lot as you can see from the right had pic which is the rework so far, the birds and roses have all been redone but the heart and scroll and flames haven't and you can see how they've faded since the first pic was taken. The main difference is the richer colours, heavier shading and generally better line work (not visible here but up close the linework on the original was shocking) and it isn't just because it's fresh because it's practically healed already, been done a week now! Let me know what you think, a few people have said they prefer it before but I don't have any pics to show just how bad it looked, it was like it had been done with coloured pencils, trust! I'll post more pics when it's all finished, the artist doing the rework is JJ at Blood Bros Ltd in Islington, he is a top bloke and allthought they charge £70 an hour which is top end price he works very fast! Davey

The point is I am warning people that when you go to Kwik Fit, as I only have experience of this one I shall say Kwik Fit Colchester, first off you can probably expect to have to go back because they won't have fixed it properly and secondly the warranty doesn't appear to mean jack shit as they will claim someone has tampered with it so as to negate the warranty. I'm sure your sisters boyfriend and most of Kwik Fits employees are very nice knowledgable people, but as a company they seem to do the minimum which is why they are "Kwik". My sister had the same problem with Kwik Fit in Witham sorting out her car, so it doesn't seem to just be Colchester either! Finally, I am not bitching behind their back, I have told them to their face, I went in the following day after posting that to register my distaste and insist that they sort the problem under warranty. They were reluctant until I made a bit of a scene in front of their other customers at which point they agreed to do it "Out of good will"! Anyone who knows me knows I don't bitch for no reason, I very rarely bitch full stop as I'm not a naturaly negative person, so they have really pissed me off, hence my post! Cheers for the advice everyone, all sorted now, well hopefully anyway I'm picking my car up this afternoon! Davey

See I kinda wish you guys could bowl down the garage with me because you all know what you're on about and I don't, haha. It's where the manifold joins the first section of exhaust I think, the studs in the manifold have sheared or something, the more I explain it the more it sounds really simple, this is so frustrating! Davey

I don't pay to have it fixed because I'm not made of money! It's not gonna be cheap is the vibe I'm getting and literally I am in enough debt as it is! I would guess the garage don't want to do anything because it would void the warranty, so they're doing me a favour in a way saying "get it done for free at kwik fit". The problem being I have a feeling Kwik Fit won't do it under warranty either, but I'm gonna have to try I suppose. I'll just have to have it out with them, but if it's expensive they'e bound to not want to do it for free, because they're bastards! Davey

Yeah I figured that, apparently it's a pain in the arse to get to though, it's right up near the mainifold and literally there is no room up there (had a look myself) so this is why it's a big expensive job. I have no idea how but somehow gotta get to it by removing a bunch of other stuff I suppose I wish I knew more about it to argue with the guys at kwik fit, but what they said and what this garage have said are pretty much the same thing so I'm thinking it's a fact and arguing isn't gonna make the job any easier! Thing is I can't afford it for shit, haha. Also, I need my car, I work 1hrs drive from my home, no direct bus/train service and Kwik Fit don't do courtesy cars! Also I have a gig in Cambridge tomorrow, so either I have to get my car to Kwikfit and figure out another way to get to Cambridge, or hope that my car will make it to Cambs and back and get it to Kwik Fit Sunday then worry about how to get to work on Monday, haha! This really is so annoying! Davey

Hmm, well it's a Pug 106 diesel. Basically the very front section where it joins to the manifold is where it's blowing. Initially it started blowing and the vibrating sheared a bracket that holds it to the chassis or something, so they had to replace that section. Second time the bolt on that bracket had come out so it wasn't actually blowing it was just rattling. Third visit it was blowing from the front again, that's when they said that the stud or something had sheared, but there are like 3 studs I think so the other two were holding it ok. It's right up near the manifold though so it's hard to get to and they suggested taking it to a service garage to get fixed (ie not under warranty = expensive for me). Now I have a feeling all the studs have sheared, the garage I took it to were recomended by a collegue who knows his stuff, so they should be reliable, and they said the only thing holding it on is the bracket I mentioned earlier. I don't think it's a DIYable job unfortunately! I mean the garage would say it's a long job if they were gonna do it to get more money, but they've said they won't do it so they would get nothing from telling me that so I'm guessing they must be telling the truth, tis f*cked! Davey

No one EVER go there EVER NEVER EVER EVER for god sake don't even look at the place, they are useless f*ck up t*ssers! Forgive the language, it's not my usual tone. Ok, here's the deal! My exhaust started blowing about 6 months ago, I needed it sorted ASAP and it was a Sunday so Kwik Fit was the only option. They sorted it, fine, fitted a new section of exhaust, problem gone, and it's under warranty so that's ok. Few months later it starts blowing again, I take it back, they say something has come loose but it's ok because it's under warranty so they fix it and I'm a happy man again. Then a few weeks later it's blowing again. I take it back, this time they say a stud or something has sheared but that it isn't covered under warranty because it's not the part they replaced, apparently. They tighten the other studs or something and it seems to go away so I leave it. Yesterday, it all goes horribly wrong, my car sounds like a spitfire, f*cked. Now I wasn't gonna take it to Kwik Fit because they obviously cannot do a good job, so I took it to a local garage, who have said it will be very time consuming and expensive to fix as it's awkward to get to, for this reason they will not do it as it is under warranty with Kwik Fit so I need to take it back to them, but I know they will say that it's not covered, so I'll have a massive bill to pay and won't have a car for ages, which isn't good as I live in Colchester but work in Stortford. Those who know me know I am very laid back and not much winds me up, but I am so angry right now it is unreal, I just want a car that works, is that so much to ask? If Kwik Fit will not sort it I am going to be making a serious scene. I am one very fecked off customer!!! Davey

I'm guessing you like InMe a bit, haha. My mates are on tour with them at the moment, so if you're seeing them at all check them out, they're called "Death For A Day"! Davey

Haha, she's 18, she wouldn't get served otherwise because she is tiny. I was thinking it might be a phase, but then also thought that this might just be how she's gonna grow up, as a drunken waster, I've seen it happen before. I've decided to go along with her and endure one night of that place to see what the fuss is about, and then just talk to her about it. I'll let you know how it goes! Davey

Well yeah the drinking does worry me a little but I mean all people her age go out and get pissed a lot, hell I used to so I can hardly preach just because I don't drink now. That doesn't bother me so much really, it's more the attitude that I can already see rubbing off on her, like she thinks she's grown up a lot recently but from where I'm standing she's gone backwards. Maybe I'm being selfish and sentimental, people change after all and I do love her, but the old Amy was perfect and frankly it'd be a crime if these tossers destroyed her! Davey

Aaarrrggghhhh Ok, I try to avoid posting in here but I need your advice guys. My girl is lovely, it's a well known fact. BUT recently she has been hanging out at this pub which I NEVER go to anymore. The reason I don't go there (apart from the fact I don't drink) is that it is full of waster scum. All they do is get pissed and talk shite like they think they know it all, and when they're not pissed all they talk about is how pissed they were the other night. They have no ambition, no drive to do anything other than bum about and they are so sad and immature it's unreal. So anyway, she's been going there, and she gets pissed off at me because I won't go with her. I have better things to do than hang around with those people frankly, when I'm in there I feel like I'd rather die than stay there and listen to them talk utter shit. But this in itself is not a problem, I'd just not go and leave her to it, she doesn't come to my gigs because it's not her thing so we both have our own stuff that we do seperately. But the thing is she has started to change, she blows out other friends and college etc to go and get pissed during the day, and by the time I see her she's a bit of a mess. She has started going on about how cool these people are and seems oblivious to the fact they are clearly idiots! This is possibly the worst thing that has happened to me ever. My girl is becoming that which I most hate. What the bloody hell do I do? HELP! Davey

I smoked from the age of 11 up until the age of 19, 10-20 a day towards the end. Smoking is a strange thing, when you think about it, apart from the obvious fact that you're purposfully inhaling smoke (that still sounds crazy) I can't think of anything else apart from sex that drives people to do such uncharacteristic things. For example, I am by nature quite a lazy person, before I drove I would take a bus up the hill into town when the walk is literally 5 minutes! But I recall on several occasions walking half an hour to the 24hr shop at 9pm/10pm when there are no busses to buy cigarettes because I had run out and knew I'd want one first thing in the morning! But if you asked me I'd say smoking didn't rule my life....... yeah right! Also quite bizarre is the fact that the threat of death is not a good enough reason to quit, it certainly wasn't for me. I knew full well that it could kill me but that was in the future when I might be dead anyway so what did I care. In the end I started singing in a band and gave up smoking to save my voice, as that was a rather more immediate issue. I had already given up drinking simply because I didn't like it and decided to brand myself as straight edge, tattoos and all, to keep myself from going back to cigarettes again. I am a creature of habbit and my straight edge is something I'm very proud of and have been for 3 years, so if I had a cigarette now I'd have to start from stratch and I'd hate that. As for the law, I personally think tobacco should be made illegal for the simple reason that it kills so many people, tobacco is nothing short of an epidemic, if it were a dictatorship it's leader would be hanged for crimes against humanity. But the fact is that taxation on tobacco brings so much revenue into our government that this will never happen! So, to all you smokers, stop looking for excuses not to quit and start finging reasons to quit, believe me when I say you will be happier without it! Wow, essay, sorry about that! Davey
