  1. WHAT?!?!?! What's that about bud? Just a company thing?
  2. Think im managing about 25p a mile (Done a few work miles these past few weeks) My 40p a mile STILL doesn't cover fuel, Road Tax, wear and tear, servicing etc....
  3. Beware of buying second hand ones... They have to be removed in a specific way and "undocked" from the car, or they won;t work in a new one... Apparently... :pmr35lee:
  4. Im pretty lucky really, working from home, so I don't HAVE to drive anywhere. Plus the new "Shed" for the wife has arrived. 118d, which is REALLY nice to drive and touches 50-60mpg.... Keep the Zed for those nice sunny days. Still, a shock to fill up!
  5. Just filled up from 40dte... Not let it go that low and fill to the brim for a while. £12 off a hundred notes... ouch!
  6. Sweeeet! Got mine too... Thanks Martin... Yours sincerely.... "Mr December"
  7. It's been a couple of weeks now... still VERY please with the result. No colour fade or transfer to clothes.... HIGHLY recommended!
  8. Member.... ... and Mr. December
  9. Who ever is in Feb will be peeved! Shortest month... AND might not get hold of it till the 3rd/4th But we know you are doing your best my good man.
  10. It would be great if it said you are a lover, I'd fill it in then Don't need a survey to tell me im good at that .... Must try harder
  11. They email you later in the year and tell you where you fit. The boffins collect all the data first and add it all up That would make me "Muppet" class then...
  12. Results are weird... shouldn't it just say "You are lower/middle/upper class." ... rather than a load of numbers out of 100? Pointless!
  13. See, I think we are missing a trick here... In the states, they have police auctions and you can buy the cars/boats/houses etc taken from crime... Makes the force a LOAD of cash... Why crush the car (Which costs money and time) when we can SELL them and get some cash back? (Obviously "draw the line" at selling cocaine taken from dealers!)
  14. I ALWAYS check drivers licence/insurance when I sell cars. Firstly to be sure they are cool to test drive the motor... and secondly to be sure I can put the right details on the V5
  15. Isn't that the job of the seller of the car?
  16. About bloomin' time! http://nds.coi.gov.uk/content/detail.as ... wsAreaId=2 Looks like if you own a car and it's not insured or SORN, you get a £100 fine... then if you don't SORN or insure... they crush it. TOP idea... why hasn't it done before now!
  17. Had a play... pushed em all back in again.... Reset the lot ... and hey presto... sorted! Cheers guys!

  19. OK... I have an airbag warning light... Done the reset thing... works fine, but it just comes back on again. Can anyone well me where I look for the connection in the airbag under the seat(s) ...? Not sure where to look to wiggle the connectors. Anyone have any pointers or photo's? Cheers
  20. A HUGE thanks for all the advice people! Here is what I sorted... Called them up to chat to them... as friendly as I could be to find out exactly what I could about the situation. They had me over a barrel and by using the service, legally I had agreed to the terms and conditions, which covers this rolling contract thing. Very sneaky, but apparently everyone does it. Anyway, after being as nice as pie with them, proving I couldn't have used the space anyway... we came to what I think was a good mutual agreement. I have paid the £72.54 As I have now paid, I pointed out (As nicely as I could) that I could have easily spent the whole year filling the webspace with LOTS of data. Like Terra bytes! Because my plan is for "unlimited" space (With no "Fair usage" policy).... So we have agreed that, even though I have PAID the money for the year, the webspace has been cancelled and removed from me. BUT I now have £72.54 CREDIT with them. Which I can use for buying Domain names when ever I like, until the credit runs out. Personally, I think this is a good deal as I have a few domain names with other providers all ready, so when it comes to renewal time, I will just transfer them over and use the credit to pay for them. This has been a good lesson for me, also shows they are a bunch of ********* but they are still well within the law. I reckon I got a good deal, what do people think?
  21. Just had a phone call from Fasthosts, demanding £70 or they will "Set a debt collection agency" on me! Set the scene, I have had a web site hosted with them for 3-4 years. Every year it just rolls onto the next year, payment via a credit card. This year I didn't want the hosting any more, so I left it, knowing it would not renew as my credit card number had changed anyway. This was on the 28th Dec... As expected, the hosting stopped (checked the site and it was dead) Just had a call from them saying I HAD to tell them I was cancelling before it rolled over, or I HAVE to pay the £70 for the years payment! So... what do I do? Panic and pay the £70... or await the debt collectors?
  22. Best one is when they fly off from one set of lights to the next... they slam their anchors on to stop for the next set, where as because you backed off, you keep going and roll through the lights (at the speed limit) but obviously leave them on the line as they had to stop. Muppets
