This only happens in Tapatalk, not when accessed via a browser. It is Tapatalk adding the adverts.

People that put their phone on "Sat Nav" just so they can have it in front of their face in the car. You're on the M4 commuting to and from work, how bloody lost can you get.

MOT failure, was hoping the chain would last another 3000 miles until 30,000 so I would at least make chains last a year and a half, but looks like chains are only good for a year. More annoyed about having to go back next Saturday than the failure. Still have a week and a half left on my old MOT so no dramas this time and it will be nice not to have to put up with the tightspot in the chain crunching round the front sprocket at low speeds.

SouthWest Trains, again. On my way to Spanherman's to pick up the GSX-F after it's annual caressing they changed their minds every two minutes about when the train to Sunbury would be leaving, how delayed it was, which services were cancelled, how many broken leaves had disrupted things earlier in the day, how sorry they were, which station the train I was on was actually terminating, if there was a bus replacement to get me to Sunbury, when the next train was due, if that was cancelled or not, how close did I get to stomping off to get a taxi, oh there's the next train now without any notice... What a mission!

Bloody scammers on Gumtree, do they think I was born yesterday

Here's an email I got from 'Laura'

Great! please consider it sold and please cancel every other appointment regarding it as i am willing to pay your full asking price because i need to buy it for my cousin asap, i have read through the advert and I'm totally satisfied with it,sadly i would not be able to come personally to collect due to my hearing loss and me being in wheelchair.
I have a courier agent that would help me to pick it up at your preferred location after you have received your money and i'll pay you via PayPal today.
Where is the pick up location so that i can inform the courier agent about it now?
