A combination of how terrible we've been for years and how toxic our fanbase is, is wearing me down. The most depressing thing is that we've been so shit that they often turn out to be right, which makes them all the more unbearable as they seem to revel in our shitness. Very few of the people on my list post in off-topic so I know I'm not missing out on their posts in other sections, so I'm more than happy just to ignore them. It makes it a much better forum to read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) I follow a local online group of techies, just to see if anything interesting pops up.

If you're not comfortable with something you read on the internet, close the **** tab you sensitive pricks. My preferred pronoun of "their majesty" doesn't seem to have been utilised so far.

LondonLax Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The amount of times people spell 'lose' as 'loose'. For some reason it winds me up. The bizarre thing is that it is easier to spell it correctly than to add an extra 'o'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 People that write in capital letters but throw in a random lower case, usually the letter u. This irritates me. Mums that get commuter trains at the last minute hop on with their pushchairs and feel its their god given right to get on, regardless of the amount of room. The word Brexit. It was the bloody eu referendum, use a proper name and not some shitty coined expression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't you just go with a normal tyre and buy a foam kit if the car has no jack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 There are few things I hate more than noisy pricks who project their voice across the room when they're talking to someone right next to them. Use your **** indoor voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the only thing keeping you on the road afterall Although at the same time I don't go up into the Michelin/Bridgestone realms either. I find the middle ground to be full of perfectly decent rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I used to go with Falken FK452s on my Ibiza cupra TDI. Gripped great but they would wear out after 7000 miles. Got the original Michelin Energy on the hybrid. 25,000 miles so far and I've probably got another 5k left at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth (in line with your advice really) using (say) blackcircles website to find tyres and then googling for reviews of those tyres on your model of car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
