Ross McArthur Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I want to go! In other happy news. I got a full refund from PayPal after a guy on Pink Bike sent me a f**ked shock with missing bits then blocked me. Now he is grovelling for me to send him back the shock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep some parts off it and send him back what's left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 He still owes me a little more cash. He was a dick from the start. I sent him the £xxx for 'goods' on PayPal so PayPal took their cut, as they do, but he wasnt happy with that then asked me to send him more. Stupidly, I did, as a gift. So until he sends me that too, hes not getting his shock back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Dunstan Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Pinkbike is full of bibbles. I left an ad up for a bike I was selling over a year ago and I got an email asking if it was still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I put my old DMR up on PB and I had an offer of £100. I was trying to get £500 for it, it cost me £1500. Twats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 PB seems to be frequented by children who have just been allowed on the internet. I was all set to buy some high rise bars from someone, asked him when I could collect (cash on collection, obviously) and received a message along the lines of, "My dad said I could hav these bars, now I'm sellin them nd he's pissed ov with me. Thx dick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the people who dont mark stuff a sold who annoy me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of probably 2 fully built from the ground up bikes plus more stuff here and there, Ive had 1 scam from a guy who never posted my SRAM shifter and mech. £60 lost. Then this guy with the shock which I got my money back from. So as much as a bad rep PB gets, there is a lot of genuine sellers/buyers.

Azarathal Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Had a crazy night, got with some I knew in front of her boyfriend, chundered on the bar and danced harder than I should have.

HippY Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 okay, so now it is official I got through one of the last step of the competition, so at the moment I am part of the TeamUK= I am in the top 10 Electronic Engineer student in the world! I will go to Brazil this August, in the colour of United Kingdom, representing the best that this country can offer! I am really excited, and even though this summer will be about training, no holidays what so ever, I reckon every second will worth it! That sadly also means that I can forget about trials for the summer, as I will not stay at Northern Ireland for more than 2 weeks, and I will study every day... but maybe at uni 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrialsIsHard Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's awesome Hippy! Out of interest what kind of 'training' will you be doing? I'm imagining extremely fiddly and intricate soldering, but feel like I could be completely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagining extremely fiddly and intricate soldering, but feel like I could be completely wrong. Nothing exhausting or extreme this week and next week from 9am-6am Monday Friday Microcontroller programming in C Afternoon basic school stuff, and more C programming practice until midnight Saturdays are studying the weeks field, Sunday rest, so only a few hours of studying 15th June : a week long special psychological training in Loughborough weekend Bristol Fault Finding Next week: even more C programming week after: Fault finding in Belfast +1 week: Soldering with faultfinding +1 week: a highly professional training in a professional software to design Printed Circuit boards ("That green board in your phone and PC) (already have around 400 hours of work in that program) +1 week professional soldering course 2 weeks (or so) training in Belfast, we will see what I need to learn Aug 7: London ceremony, we are going to get a proper ceremony, similar as Olympics get (or I have been told) a short 11 hours flight to Sao Paulo 1 day "Ermegherd Jetlag" 1 day setup, 4 day flat out competition Aug 16: Balint will receive his Gold Medal Aug 17: Balint is in Mental hospital screaming "Electronics is the devil!"(Hopefully not) So you are part right, but basically no parties, no holiday, and whereas everyone stops going to school next week, I will go to college until August But then again I have the skill and knowledge, and I have so much experience and extra training that no one has in UK, and the fact that I can say that I am in the top 10 in the world should get me a few points on my CV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsMatt Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Gathered the balls to walk up to the HR person at work and discuss my leave notice. I'm not keen on this job because it affects my lifestyle and its shit. She told me the deal with the company and how things are going to 'pick up rapidly' in the next month or two and she said she will forget about the conversation we had and let me think about it properly. Pay to effort / social sacrifices i make just doesn't add up. I'm on 40 Hours at £5.13 doing more work than the guys based on a good salary. What i want to do is the odd job here and there, getting money when I need/want it rather than walking in to this place doing the same repetitive tasks every day for 8 hours. I'm happy i said something about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How old are you? That's a pretty naïve point of view. Almost all jobs are repetitive shit everyday for pay that is never as good as you want it to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
