I'm sure he'll have a decent explanation. Either that or I smell a lynching 🙂

I say we burn him now and ask questions later.

would be pretty surpised if JY turned out to be norty

wonders if has time to nip out for biscuits

If you do can I have a Custard Cream please?

clubber - you can have one of my chairs f you bring peanuts

it doesnt really matter, it was no use to me anyway. i thought it would promote a bit of debate tho

And ....... "J" has just emailed me. Funny that. seems he is not "Ricky Bobby" on the spanners after all.
no harm done.

Oooh a lunching thread, haven't had one of them for, err minutes. Thought JY was a good 'un, so will see what he has to say.

[i]Oooh a lunching thread[/i]

We're all ladies that lunch on here....

who's got the bickies ?..........

Don't agree with JY on most things but never had him down as a tea leaf.

so it wasn't him or what? We need to know the whole story

teej, I assumed that means JY had a go, can't fix & has given up

i reckon he cant fix it but too ashamed to admit it

Are you for real..... it was only a week ago

does it take a week to answer an email ? are you for real ?

Junkyard has emailed me to say he cant fix it. Thats no prob because i couldnt either. he has also apologised for no getting back to me, and offered to return it.
like i said, no harm done.

and just for the record, its been 2 weeks.

so we're not burning anyone...damn it.

I'd made banners and everything.

I wonder why it says 1 week on the history then - guess it could be 1 wk and 6 days.... So he would have got it a day or 2 later after you posted it - so just over a week in his hands....

tbh, having a little dig where the person who can be easily identified and is a "local" and could be embarrassed after such a short period of time when they were trying to do you a favour is bad form.

i sense a troublemaker in this plinkyponk... if thats you're real name?!

Pinkyponk, I like disappointment - although you could have gone for the

You've let me down.......

You've let the STW massive down......

You've let your family, relatives, wife & children down.....

You've let the whole of the MTB community down.....but.....worst of all...

You have simply let yourself down 😳

Maybe fixing your shifter for free wasn't on the top of his 'to do' list and was a little busy, fair enough if he was charging but what are gonna sell a knacked x9 shifter for? Nowt

lucien - love it

philconsequence - quality

convert - you have missed the point of the whole thing all together

Err, Junkie's response to your original post was only a week ago. Allowing for you posting the kit to him then we're only talking about a few days. Give the fella a break, he seems a decent chap (politics aside 😉 ).

It could have been a child's face you know

spock - well wide

just checked the origional email - 7th april

eh ?

and even said the return postage would be FOC through his work.

Hang on a minute, isn't he a civil servant?

That's my money he's giving away there, even depriving the little crippled orphans of an ice cream when they go to the seaside for their only day out of the year

EDIT - 😉 [before anyone takes it seriously]

If you think you and your noodly little tupance hapenny shifter are SO important that someone with a job, a life and their own fun to be had should jump to your tune and respond tout suite to your email and when he dosn't it's time to have a online strop, I'd imagine making frineds in the real world is not one of your strengths. A couple of months down the line if I hadn't heard anything I'd have sent a "Dude, what's up with the shifter? Any chance of an update?" email - not made an arse of myself on a internet forum.

Are you allowed to call people crippled these days?

Or spastics?

😉

hahaha - i know whos just made an arse of themselves "dude" !

could be worse some real bitchiness on this one

Team Junkyard. FWIW.

Amazing threads!!

Nope - you're just a dick.

Whereas you've resorted to getting all het up over this silliness, and made yourself look a bit of an arse on an internet forum.... 😐

Nope, just stuck up for someone genuinely offering to do a total stranger a favour and getting flamed for being being tardy enough to take a whole week over responding when fettling for free. And having the good grace to stay out of the thread.

It wasn't that big a deal to start with though, was it? Even the Op sed he weren't all that bothered really, just curious as to what people on here felt.

I'm finding it quite amusing. Even more so cos of your input. 🙂

I live to serve! 🙂

You gotta say though, a "I'm not bothered but I'm going to post this anyway" semi-rant is a bit sad, no?

is this about anything ?
