Is the forum worth reading at times
« on: January 15, 2014, 10:31:54 am »
I am sorry to say this but so often I read advice on this forum and its is so bad or worse not properly explained . Is it really with its weight in gold.This is a shame as there are a few chaps worth there weight in gold and  asset to this forum. But for a newby who do you listen to.To many threads are written as fact and they a really opinions. 
OK , knock me out with a avalanche of abuse from the bullies. ;D ;D ;D ;D

You are correct but, sometimes I tell people how it is and how it should be and they ignore me and do the opposite!

Problem is everybody thinks their way is best.

I feel sorry for the window cleaners who don't know how their system works or how to replace stuff. I try lots of things throughout the year and yes it can cost me time and money but in the long term I am quicker and earning more money.

I take what I read on here with a pinch of salt.

Dump them. Replace with two more and you will be doing £300 a day. Then next week. My clamp broke on my slx where is the cheapest place to buy glue from.

It's lol city sometimes.

A few people have done well in the WC business. But they won't tell you how they done it. I don't mean two vans and an yard. I mean 10 plus vans etc

Yes Smithie, is that why you deleted your account last time? If I find a lot of crap on here, I wander over to the chat section and have a laugh.

There's a point you reach on this section, where you've asked everything you needed to ask, and you answered the same 50 questions more than twice the times they are posted. Then you've seen all the clever blokes who've made it work. Then after a time, you know all the bluffers and mongs who claim to have made it but haven't.

It's a cycle, and happens year in year out. Now you know that, why not go into the chat section and get it off ya chest in there. Because the complainers on here eventually end up throwing a hissy fit, stamp their little foot and cancel their account.

Imagine that eh?  ::)roll

Oh! Now you want to get abusive? I thought that's one of the reasons you cancelled your last account!! No idea what a Pengo is ??? All your posts seem to be whining about something. Calm down mate, It's only a forum. Try not to get upset and stamp your little foot again. Just trying to help.

To be fair mate, 90% of your posts are a moan (im assuming you are smithie of old?)its not like you're contributing yourself.....
Just let it slide buddy, you dont have to take it all personally....
Ive taken advice from the forum when i started, and didnt take other advice, i used what best suited me, and i'd imagine thats what newbies would do....

(P.s Pure H2O, cracking vid on the using laquer on carbon poles, did it at the weekend, great shout!!)

The problem is not so much people who think their way is best, it is people who think their way is best and absolutely will not accept any other point of view.

Aye but, what if my way is right (it is) and everybody else is daft (they are)?

Its a forum and as such you get 'all sorts'
Why not use the search function, everything you need to know is there and more.
Read a few threads and its easy to find the right answer.
With it being a public forum n all don't be naive enough to think your every question will be seized upon by the multitude who'll show an unbridled enthusiasm to furnish you with an answer that will satiate your every window wiping want.  ;D

At least this forum is lively and to my mind the whingers and moaners along with those that do a bit of foot stomping helps keep it interesting.

Some of the other forums are a bit like a graveyard at times with their 'we treat each other with respect here'.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

What I do find really amusing is how the same members with much the same names posting the same subjects think that by joining another forum they are amongst friends and polite people  ;D
It's a mirror of this one - same sad people talking about the same subjects - brilliant!
