Give the guy a break! Its all to do with personal opinion!!

You lot are crazy!

[mrslaphead]

nah i'm not getting upset it seems you lot are the upset one's over something that really to be honest doesn't consern you???

Hmm, I'm getting stress headed , yet you arent getting upset ?
The point I was trying to make was in reply to a question you asked , Why someone did not like BMW.
If you read my post can you point out the part where i am stress headed, is it the comment "a bit harsh"
Also in written (or typed) English , the overuse of punctuation is for displaying an extreme, eg ???? would indicate you find something extremely incredulous.
This would also indicate that the writer was quite upset. If the writer does not want to indicate that he/she is upset it would be advisable
to use punctuation in the correct manner.
Just to confirm, I am so unstress headed i am typing this lying down, whilst smoking a cigar receiving a massage.
In fact Im not even typing I am dictating to my offspring who is typing.
Good day

if you look, it wasn't pointed directly at just you, it was pointed at everyone complaining and getting wound up by the new mini/bini/MINI/small bmw whatever you all want to call it
yet when it comes down to it alot of people havent actually owned one or tried living with one, so the comment about its qualities are daft,

using your kids for slave labour is not big!
also smoking round them is not a good idea so maybe you should invest more time looking at the health of your kids not mini companies thats financial status doesnt consern you!!!
also why would you have a massage if you weren't tense??? sports injury??? and if so you shouldn't be smoking inside at a workplace its also inconsiderate to the person doing your massage.

is that a sarcastic enough reply to your silly attempt at sarcasm????????????????

goodday to you too (may be your last, smoking kills!!)

I would like to point out to any child welfare officers who may be reading that no children were harmed during the
making of this post.
I was dictating using a megaphone and my offspring was in another building, so her health is not at risk.
I was having a massage because I can, and was not paying for it as my wife was providing the massage.
And finally yes it is up to your usual standard of sarcasm, thank you.

The financial status of Huddersfield mini spares is none of my business, but what concerned me is how far
the BMW lawyers were prepared to go. If they threatened all mini suppliers then we would have been in a spot of bother.
The fears stem from the time that BMW launched the mini and at that time were more aggresive than currently.
That is one reason why BMW as a company are not loved by all on TMF.
I would like to repeat what I told you in a previous post (different thread ?) and that is that I quite like the BMW Mini.

maybe the reason why this thread is turning into a Jake v TMF ,as has been mentioned, is because of the way you reply to people
One piece of advice I read recently is to type as you would speak to the person face to face.
You might find that more people agree with you if you dont appear confrontational to them.

As notable on here alot of Classic owners also own Binis so its relevant to some readers...

That's like saying a lot of bored housewifes actually have jobs but you dont see job adverts in Take-A-Break do you?

Actually that's a terrible example, and I don't read take-a-break, honest

More on topic though, I mean new MINI owners have their own magazine, so it would be nice to keep a Classic Mini magazine dedicated to the Classic Mini?

I don't buy any of the mags, I think I've bought about 3 Mini Mags in total in my lifetime, to be honest even if I had a Mini again I've got better things to do with my time (like post on topics like these ) and a better use for just under a fiver. Also, saying that, if I had a Mini I'd have even more do to with my time than now!

[yorkshirechris]

yesh!!!! lol

there will always be people moaning about different things not everyone can be happy

I'd just like to edit this - it should read:

"there will always be people with different opinions about things "

Because moaning infers the person isn't welcome, but what would an online forum be without opinions?

Sounds quite errotic, not the sort of thing you'd find in any Mini magazine?

For god sake it's Xmas and I'm sure the odd Xmas Cigar isn't going to end your life anytime soon?

Not unless you set fire to the house of course?

[techno-steve]

how has this not been closed lol

[minili]

Has now!

Way too argumentative and off topic. Ladies & gents, every time you see the words "BMW" or "Bini" that is not an excuse to go off on one. Pfft. If you can't act like adults you won't be treated like them quite frankly!
