Yep "your car's fuked"

That's what Aussie mechanics say,


Then you asked why your car is fuked & they'l say "your engine's fuked, & your suspension's fuked"

They they'l fix it & give you a itamised bill for $1700 that's totally unreadable. They they'l be real busy working underneath some car & fob you off onto the Lebanese aprentise & it will be up to him to justify the repairs listed in the bill.

That's why I fix my own cars

So to summerise 'that blokes computer is fuked'

Well, I just heard back from the first guy.

Turns out that he never even flashed the BIOS.

I asked why he told mme he did and he got all irate and told me that he didn't and the PC never boot up from day one. :(

At that point I felt like telling him that he needed to learn how to put his thoughts into words, but I didn't. :|

<< Nah that's not Greg. He knows his computers and there wasn't any misspelled words. >>



Yes, true. But nexus_7 owns more dead PC's than live ones. Also, remember, his spelling gets better when he's mad. ;)

i think it means:

Mday, you should learn to English and not bother the GURU with meaningless questions especially when you did not buy that mobo from him...

Guys, lay off of nexus_7. Firstly, as red said, he knows his stuff. He would not need to write an email about that stuff! Secondly, he isn't even here to defend himself! Greg is a nice guy, so maybe he types too fast. That is what it is, I asked him about it, he says he doesn't care what people think about his spelling and grammar. I know that when he slows down he spells properly and uses correct grammar. So lay off him. :)



<< But nexus_7 owns more dead PC's than live ones. >>


Thats his choice, he buys dead parts and then plays &quot;whack-a-part.&quot; hehehe :)

Ok, I clicked post and cancel consecutively by accident. I refreshed the topic page to see if it went through. It didn't show up. So I post it again. Now they both show up. WTF?!?

All in good fun, Zippy. I'm sure Greg knows I meant no harm, at least I hope so. Just had to pick at the grammar, that's all. :)
