what a start to winter

Busted car and Opportunistic greedy, greasy, engine Orangutans making a monkey out of me. conversing
and that's just the bureaucracy of the National Car Test.

After getting the news of your failure, You have the pleasure of saving for one month to address the issues or they will find more for you in a new test. And then the real pleasure of bringing the car to a Tea swilling vague talking shoulder shrugging spanner fingered professional. Who immediately turns the NCT report you hand him, into a blank cheque. crying

Anyway that's my rant.....
Eh no sorry I forgot to mention the fact I bought 20 euro broad band data on the premiss it was for a month. Was it feck. I watched 2 youtube documentary's, sent a few mails and it was gone. frustrated

Well I said a decade of rosary, gave meself a good Flagellation.
Had a nice cup of tea and all is right with the world again.

at least till I get my next bill doh laugh

Have a drink Friend beer
HELLO NON WELCOME BACK JUST THOUGHT I WOULD GREET YOU WITH THE OLD ME BUT NOW HERE IS THE NEW me ,notice anything different well i can say i know what you mean as i am going through that at the moment ,because of the new emissions my car failed because of a small crack ,unfortunatly on the flexi on the front pipe ,and it either a new pipe for 250 plus vat spurious or main dealer for 450 plus vat unless i can get a spurious flexi and get it welded in should be cheaper then labour on top aghhhhhh no i mean AGHHHHHHHwave

WHAT DO WE WANT -NCT OUT
WHEN DO WE WANT IT -NOW NOW NOW


sometimes you have to shout rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
caged but never TAMED . ROAR yay wave
yes they know how to charge when it comes to cars ....and computer parts,.... its like I need a new PCI-e video card , if I buy a new one here , its to old a model to be of use for very long .... and there is a catch they dont tell you about , big fancy fast video cards use up huge amounts of internet data in a hour or 2 ..20 to 30 plus gigs are used up and to make my usage managable I have the smallest high def card a Ati Radeon HD 2600 XT card ..and I'm finding that if I try very hard to limit my internet online time with my 40 gig contract but right now I've used 80 % and I got till the 3 rd of next month to go , but I might have to get another data block ........
wave wave

I had the same problem with the sat phone, they slow the net connection to 100kbs & then charge by the minute, the idiots only wrote me a letter last month asking why I don't use it any more doh laugh rolling on the floor laughing
I sold my ...his radeon 4870 X2 card , because of how much data it used , when I was on the 2 gig usb stick I was on , ...so here the catch , if you dont pay the bill on time they will limit your data , ... but if you pay on time they lift it , without telling you ... so when I used the bigger card I blew out the data , instead of only getting a $59.00 bill , ...I got a $530.00 bill!!! crying
