What to stick on his windscreen which wont come off easily? [OT]

A sign that says blue badge holder, would mean I could park there because I hold my daughters, blue lapel badge? I do not think you woulod be happy with statements like, cripples should be left at home while someone else does their shopping in most cases, well would you? But it is ok for you to tell someone what they can and can't do?

I was buying new so yes that =A31000 would have fallen off the value the= moment I put the key in the lock and opened the door. But that applies to all new cars, some drop *a lot* more a grand at that point.

The price of what I was buying was reasonable, I could probably have haggled another few hundred quid off it but I very much doubt a =A31000.=

Where do all the clever people shop?

Indeed. I'm disabled. I can walk normally. What I can't do is carry anything over a couple of KG and walk normally due to the fact I have three shafted discs in my lower back which kindly send massive pain down both my legs if I carry too much. Recently they've taken to temporarily removing all control to my right leg for a brief second if I carry too much or am in just the right position.

You're not really entering into the spirit of this, are you? ;)

Mary's either on a different spiritual plane, incredibly narrow minded, or deliberately trying to get a reaction (that's my option, going by her tale of trying to get a reaction from her husband when she quite clearly appeared fit and healthy after a little bump parking), but whatever the case, it's been quite fun :)

Although I'll be bowing out soon, before it gets too stale and pointless.

I can walk for 10-20 miles if I choose. Until I have a meformin induced stomach cramp which will put me on the floor in 30 seconds.

When that jappens I newed to be next to a toilet, whether that be the porta-potty in the car, or a public toilet.

That's why I need, and have been granted, a blue badge.

Evidently not! I could have responded with a reasoned argument, but to be quite honest I'm bored with this thread now, and have got better things to do. Well, I'm bored with this thread anyway.

Hehe, me too.

Or being wheeled around...

It appears to annoy you, which is just an unexpected bonus.

No point in metioning the discretionary form you can get i suppose.

None taken. Dialysis is performed 3 times a week for 6 hours each time. It removes toxins and fluid from your blood. Due to this constant flucuation of body weight and fluid levels i suffer from high and low blood pressure, dependant on when dialysis takes place. This causes dizzy spells, blackouts, muscle fatigue and loss of breath. The hardest part is actually getting anyone to believe you are on dialysis when you are having a good day.

They are needy? they need food.

Almost without exception?

And without exception I have seen these "disabled " people climb easily out of their top of the range luxury cars and stoll into the shops. Does that mean all blue badge holders are like that? How, apart from keeping children locked away, are parents supposed to prevent any interaction between their children and the public?

It shows.

If they're happy with what they're buying, and they've be honestly told exactly what it is they're getting, then where's the problem? No-one's forced at gunpoint to buy anything - if they choose to buy a 10-15 year old car, knowing exactly what it is and what small faults it has, then that's their choice. As it is their choice as to exactly what they pay for it - if they can't buy it at a price that's acceptable to them, then they won't buy it. Simple really.

Why not? If you damaged someone else's property, then it's only fair that you pay for that damage.

Then he's been compensated for the fact that his car is still damaged, and hence worth slightly less.

Pritt, applied generously to the car window before applying the notice (printed on thin cheap A4) is right out. Pritt stays tacky. I never used to worry about putting it on the front or back window, and the committee never got any complaints from the trespassers.

Never apply Castrol grease to the front window, people'll think you've got mutant pigeons.

During the conker-dropping season, never shove a green pod into the exhaust pipe, even if it happens to fit, because kids will get the blame.

That's your interpretation of what I wrote. It wasn't my intention, it wasn't the case. I can't force my husband - or anyone else - to have feelings which don't come naturally. I wouldn't want to either.

He doesn't have the car any more, he still has me :-)

And property can be important and indeed essential. To say all property is not important is a bit stupid and shows shallow thinking.

...

I don't think I do.

Whatever turns you on.

...

No ...

... but apparently you do :-)

There aren't any for the last few years so you've probably read and already know everything in what we have.

I don't say things I don't mean.

...

So it's the responsibility aspect and not the damage to a precious possession. I see.

...

I don't say that, I've never said that, I don't believe that.

You could learn from me :-)

Mary

Don't be silly, it is not fraud or extortion at all.

But would it give you pleasure?

That's a shame.

I've no idea. Perhaps you didn't have someone else to turn to, to support you, to laugh and say it's a good opportunity to replace them with more up to date things. Or just to have more space in the house, more space in your life. I have no idea. I don't even know if that has happened to your property.

...

Just think, you were once the spawn of your parents ...

Perhaps they enjoy each others' company, that's why they're together in the first place, they want to share experiences.

I do wonder how you know what they're buying, you're taking a get interest in their purchases.

Spouse and I go shopping together because we both hate it and wouldn't impose it on the other. We might as well share the bad experience as we share good ones. And it's not quite so bad when we have each other there. I'm sure others might think like that, I'm sorry that not everyone has someone to share good and bad times with.

Mary

Your parents inflicted you on us :-)

Didn't the newspaper say why?

Didn't the newspaper say?

I think you should ask the newspaper, not this ng.

I'm sure it didn't show ...
