  1. Agreed - it's like those people who wear 'comedy ties' and think they're being funny/cool.
  2. When the oil runs out it will be the same in Scotland as when the coal mines shut in Wales and in the North - devastated communities and sky-high unemployment. Sad, but true. Unless Scotland can re-invent its economy in the few years it has left - doubtful. Personally, I think this referendum is all about the vanity of Alec Salmond. He just wants to go down in history. He doesn't give a toss about Scotland. Sadly, if he wins, he'll take the proud Scottish people down with him, but he'll probably be dead before the really harsh suffering kicks in.
  3. Next you'll be telling us your name's Dick. I agree with the previous post. Clearly you're unhappy with it - this is never going to change. It's like needing to go to wee in the middle of the night - the feeling never goes away, it just gets worse, so you might as well give in to it asap and move on in life. You probably feel a bit of a nob - like you've shafted yourself. Personally, I'd find it funny to have a plate like that. I suppose it depends on your sense of humour. Back in the early days of 350's I knew a bloke who revelled in the fact that his car had a plate that read W4NKER - can't remember exactly how it was achieved, but clearly and unmistakably it read W4NKER. He loved it and so did everyone else who saw it. Made me laugh. If you decide to stick with it, just think of how much pleasure you're giving to other road users with your P*N*S. Don't space your plate illegally - the penalty's a stiff one. Time for more willy jokes?
  4. I'd buy a pre-registered car from a dealership - you know, the ones they discount heavily because they need to make their end-of-month sales target. You can work a really good deal this way, if you keep at it. You'd be getting a brand new car in everything but name, with a whopping discount, just because you're not the first name on the registration document. Good luck with whatever you choose, though personally I'd talk her into a Vauxhall Corsa VXR - they're mental little cars.
  5. Nice car. I was driving away from Aldi, a passenger in my wife's car, you were struggling to get over a speed hump!
  6. Mon 28th July, early afternoon, turned left at the travellers' site roundabout. Nice looking car
  7. The pleasure was mine. Hope it helps you to sell lots more stuff - I've looked on your website. Your gear looks good, but I have a 370, not a 350!
  8. Ill supply the rope then, you go ahead and find yourself a nice tree. Try as I might, I've not been able to find a tree on another planet. Certainly not one within a ropes length. I think he was suggesting that you hang yourself on THIS planet. I'd take him up on the offer before he changes his mind - rope's not cheap these days - tell him you need about 50ft of good quality climbing rope, then leg it.
  9. Smells lovely? I agree this is a great wax but as far as smells go, it isn't great! Smells lovely? I agree this is a great wax but as far as smells go, it isn't great! Yes, it smells lovely. I just went and had another sniff, to make sure I wasn't wrong - and indeed it smells lovely.
  10. Technically, 'to hate on' may be a phrasal verb, but it's not a good one. In fact, it's a very poor one, as it's tautological - the word 'on' is always superfluous when conjoined to the verb 'to hate'. You may be right about its origins, but currently it's inextricably linked to loud, young American culture. I just hate on it.
  11. It's Collinite 915 "Marque d'Elegance" for me - Goes on/off really easily, water just sheets off it, it lasts and it smells so lovely too. One tin lasts forever.
  12. Well it would have been funny if the car was blue, black, yellow, white, silver or grey, but as it is actually orange I can't quite see the joke.
  13. ...and don't forget that your money-grabbing insurance company might like to know about them.
  14. Why? People have different opinions, thats what makes life interesting. Maybe its because, like me, he can't stand seeing that americanised bastard verb, "to hate on". Just my opinion.
  15. Social media may be harming your life. Let the haters hate on, dude, lol, rofl, pmsl, etc.
  16. Only glimpsed it very briefly a couple of days ago, but it looked lovely for some reason (did it have black wheels?).
  17. ...I would appreciate a response to this complaint.
  18. Brilliant! He's clearly been inspired by my hero - Rodney Shu, on Singsnap - http://www.singsnap....n/play/b4f0a76a (click 'PLAY', just below the small screen) If you like Rodney's version of 'Jolene', just click here - http://www.singsnap....tly=0&year=2008 for access to many more potential mega-hits.
  19. Try the default reset and let us know if it works - unless of course you've go loads of personalised settings that you don't ant to lose.
  20. The best solution is to complain like mad, by phone and email, explaining what happened just as you have here. If they've done it once, they may have done it before - and you will be helping to build a picture of their dishonesty. So, even if it costs you £100, you will have the comfort of knowing that you may be helping to stop these bent bastards from robbing other innocent members of the public. As you can see, I believe your story
  21. To be honest, I think that resetting the Defaults may be the easiest way to do it - That Satnav manual is a nightmare, don't you think?
  22. Right - I think I'm in a position to help you a bit now, having fiddled around in the Display Settings screen earlier today (in an effort to help you) and cocked it up, giving me a similar problem to you! My problem was that I accidentally set it to Night Mode - even when the headlights were switched off - and for quite a while I didn't manage to set it back to 'auto'. My best advice is as follows... 1. Make sure your headlights are switched off. 2. Go to Settings > Display > Background Colour 3.Toggle the Day/Night button until you get the 'daytime' image in the small preview screen. Try that - If it doesn't work first time, keep fiddling with different settings in that particular menu, because eventually you'll hit on the correct setting. I managed it - and my satnav now switches to the 'night screen' again, every time I switch the headlights on. The reassuring thing is that your satnav isn't faulty and it is able to toggle between Day & Night - you just haven't got it on the correct setting yet. Someone's clearly fiddled with it in the past, beacuse you aren't currently on the default setting. If you get really desperate, you could always try hitting the 'default' button, as follows... Settings > Navigation > Reset All Navigation Settings to Default > press Enter > select Yes > press Enter. This won't delete your memory items, such as stored destinations. Hope this helps.
