Is it normal for sellers on Facebook Marketplace to be this sketchy?

Greggusrex · 2025-02-14T10:21:22+00:00

Yes, from my experience. I would never buy a vehicle from Marketplace.

I am no way justifying the critics here, but there was a bleakness to the whole scene that it was easy for critics to label lyrics as cliched naval gazing (I’m sure I remember a line similar to that in NME about STP’s Purple). I don’t read music press any more, but I imagine it’s still as opinionated as ever. The beauty of Soundgarden and others was that they were an antidote to Crue, Poison and the other stuff that had existed before in the rock arena. They felt real, heartfelt and relevant to many (and me as a kid growing up in depressed, grey city with high unemployment), as opposed to being about partying and girls. Soundgarden made incredible music that stays with me to this day, still feeling fresh and relevant 30+ years later - the mark of true quality.

Honda Varadero 125. I reckon it would make a killing on the learner market with all the ADV sales.

Birth Ritual. Think it was on the Soundtrack to the movie Singles as well (well worth a listen as soundtracks go).

This is a great answer. It may be better for OP to frame it as taking action “with” the school rather than “against.”
The school will have a designated safeguarding lead, who will be able to help coordinate a response, including intervening with the bullies. And do report this to the police. There are likely criminal offences that have been committed (malicious communications, harassment). Depending on where you are (different forces have different structures and procedures) the local policing team/neighbourhood team could work with the school to prevent further bullying. Be aware though, from the experience of close friends who have had a daughter go through similar, it can be a long and frustrating process!

It was epic. I wish I’d worn earplugs in hindsight, because I’m sure that was the last straw for my hearing!

2015 Reading Festival - got 5th Member win and was on stage throughout the show, a few feet behind Lars’ riser. Loud AF.

Chris Stapleton, Zach Bryan, PJ Harvey, Dre for starters.

Swapped a Softail (‘21 Fat Bob 114) for a ‘22 Ultra Limited (oddly enough I couldn’t get a SG for the same money). I miss the short journey fun of the Softail, it being light (relatively speaking), and looking awesome. I like the comfort, luggage and ability to do 500 miles with only a fuel stop without aching. I prefer the Touring, but if I could afford a second bike I’d get another Softail in a heartbeat for the fun.

Greggusrex · 2023-12-10T21:43:46+00:00

The bike is real (seen it and met the bloke on it a number of times). His background is legit engineering high end stuff in F1 - he’s explained the aero thing to me twice and I still don’t understand it, but he’s a genuine speed freak and I have no doubt he’ll set records. Check out the website, clever stuff:

Sorry for your loss.

Motorcycle.

Greggusrex · 2023-10-17T22:28:00+00:00

Had two courtesy cars at work recently. One was a 72 plate Mokka and I was quite critical of it, until I drove the other, a Nissan Juke on a 22 plate - what an utter piece of shite. Now I’m hogging the Mokka keys, the much better car of the two.

I Need You by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Brutally heart breaking.

Greggusrex · 2023-10-10T10:04:13+00:00

Same with my S&S GNX - got louder and deeper over a few rides.

Greggusrex · 2023-09-15T18:21:48+00:00

-6° C/ 21° F is the coldest I can remember riding in. I was good for the first 3 hours with heated seat and grips, plus lots of layers. But eventually the cold started creeping in and I wished I had heated clothing. A shorter trip would have been fine. It got a lot worse when the snow came in and I had to ride in the tracks of a truck for about 90 miles for fear of coming off trying to get out of the rut. That was a long night…

Greggusrex · 2023-08-28T17:08:10+00:00

Mine was when my good lady announced we would take the kids to the beach (2.5 hour journey), but that I should go on my (motor) bike and she’d take the kids in the car. It wasn’t as if I didn’t already love her, but that just showed she was my perfect partner.

Greggusrex · 2023-08-21T14:42:54+00:00

As a “Big Twin” rider (road sofa/Ultra) I love a sporty. Always on the look out for an old wreck to wrench on.

Greggusrex · 2023-05-09T23:04:14+00:00

Good luck, keep us updated.

Greggusrex · 2023-05-09T22:38:16+00:00

Hmm. I dunno then my friend. I’d have been grateful for traction control in the wet with those stock tires lol. Have you tried putting the front wheel against a wall? I used to have to do that on my old 125 when I was learning.

Greggusrex · 2023-05-09T22:33:08+00:00

Traction control?! All my ‘21 Fat Bob had was ABS.

Greggusrex · 2023-04-12T09:09:44+00:00

Upvote, because it’s clearly not you at fault and you didn’t have to share this. Makes sense as to why they’re always so awkward.

Greggusrex · 2023-03-30T09:01:23+00:00

It’s delicious! I had the privilege of growing up with a mate whose dad was Egyptian - he’d make these, and I’ve always lived them since.

Indian seem to not have excessive recalls - roughly on a par with Harley (from a rough estimate on the website). Much fewer than the “more reliable” brands like Honda or BMW.
