  1. They just quoted me £1k with a £3k excess. I think it needs some work
  2. I've just given up on getting cheaper fuel, its not going to happen. Been on the FairFuel campaign since the start and the only difference they've ever made is claiming that they got the government to put off a hike in tax ONCE in many rises that I can remember. Thats in a a good few years of campaigning. Simple economics says we are happy to pay for higher fuel prices, and until people seriously stop going to the pumps then they will continue to rape up for tax. But we're not going to see everyone suddenly stop going to the pumps. Thats the reality unfortunately
  3. Looks a wee bit like Borrowdale from a few of those pics. We've had a couple of runs out recently. Firstly we had a day out at Peaslake with Andy and Rab from Dirt School. I'd heard good things about this team for coaching north of the border, so when they announced they were coming south I jumped at the chance. As it turns out they didnt have as many take up their offer as the thought so we got Rab and Andy to coach a group of just 5. Made an amazing difference to Amanda's riding, shes so much more confident and carries much more speed now. Even she can see how much quicker she is and is just growing in confidence. Then off to Cwmcarn for the weekend. We did one lap on Saturday just me and Amanda, then her brother joined us on the Sunday for another lap. I think we nearly killed him as I dont think his fitness is where he thought it was Tent was a bit damp in the morning, but it was nice and hot to soon burnt off!
  4. Fancy sending us a container full? FairFuel campaign just shows how much power the government have over us. They claim they got them to put off the next raise - whoop de do - we dont need them to stall, we need it lowering. The basic facts are the government/country are in massive debt and fuel is an easy way to pay for it. Doesnt matter what oil prices do, they will continue to hit us for it as they know its a good revenue stream. Enjoy it now while you can before we get priced out of it and then the oil dries up
  5. Not sure that would fit into the RB colour scheme. Mr Horner would be out to have a word!
  6. I blame Stew. He should just produce more oil and bring down the price. Or at least syphon some off for club members to use. We just need a club refinery and we'd be sorted you'lll be waiting a long time. Signed up when it first started and it all kicked off, nothing happened and still nothing to this date. Powerless Agreed. They claim they got the govt to put off a raise, but putting them off isnt the point, we need them lowering!
  7. Oh, that's where he's been B*stard needs to get back here and sort out the forum, we're more important than some phone
  8. Fire it up to actually make phone calls you mean Shirley?
  9. You should have asked Beavis, with his love for RB he'd be down there in a flash
  10. Corporate policy, has to match the RB colour scheme
  11. NFC? Bit early for me yet? Contactless payments - like having a contactless card on your phone. You can attach it to a real card number if your issuer supports it and use it to pay for stuff. Most of the UK is really ramping up with the tech now, but obviously not enough for Apple to take note. Maybe next time when there is some new payment tech about to take over they will add NFC. Apparently it was left out as it'd make the phone too fat, someone should tell Samsung that as the S3 supports NFC
  12. Real shame it doesnt have NFC, that was going to be my main reason to upgrade. Roll on 5s or 6 then
  13. 6110 was better - 2 player snake and changeable covers - double BOOM!
  14. So ........... youre saying hes a pretty big feller, right? Like this but bigger.... No really, he looks exactly like in his avatar/sig
  15. There was me trawling the moderator logs and couldnt see anything
  16. I want to see you do that in person to Jay
  17. Make sure X doesnt have any secret questions and email addresses/phone numbers as alternate options for contact. Sounds to me like she has set up her email/phone to be the alternate, so when you are requesting new passwords, she is alerted and goes and undoes it, or even when you have set a new one, she can get back in using the secret question. I would tell Google/Facebook customer services what has happened and they should tell you exactly how to secure it all again. If in doubt, close the accounts and reopen new ones. Good to hear you are making some progress though
  18. Japanese model US model and UK model cars all run a different ROM number/s , the difference is the ignition map so they tune all the car for the different fuel supply in the country. What supprises me most is that they dont have a 95RON map as standard. I guess it wouldnt look so good on the headline power figure, but it sure would stop a lot of threads on here Would also mean when we got them UpRev'd for Super Unleaded we'd get a nice power boost
  19. Have you seen a regen going when a car is stationary? I think you can get them to do it through VAGcom and it looks ermmmm interesting
  20. Tell Orange you think your account has been comprimised and they need to sort it out. This will likely mean they cancel the current one and start you a new contract. If they dont, tell them you are going to report them to OfComm for breach of data protection. Should light a fire up their a**
  21. Bit OTT IMO. Mine is a 2010 plate and looking at the guide price for trade in atm it looks like mine will have lost about £6k-£7k a year in the two and a half years I've had her which is about right for a large capacity sports car. One thing to be wary about is dealers that use the Glass guide. These guys are jokers, completely lowball prices in the guide, they are no where near market values. Parkers is far closer to prices seen on PH/Autotrader/eBay.
  22. A vindictive, slightly psycho one might. Absolutely and its not hard to do if it were pre-empted
  23. Good news, although it shouldnt have taken them more than 5 seconds after seeing it to agree to replace them
  24. The reason finance companies want you to do it is so they can make more money. More balance on finance means more interest for them. If you've got £20k-ish, you could have mine soon (maybe)
  25. You need to try and find a common denominator between the phone numbers. Have you stored them all in the same place (ie laptop) or are they all with the same provider? If Facebook has been comprimised, were your new phone numbers on there, even if not public, they could have accessed them via the account. Did you have them on email somewhere? Email can be comprimised either via the web interface, but also via POP3/IMAP so make sure they are turned off otherwise access might have been via them. I got my Gmail hacked via IMAP and didnt spot it on the web interface. Key logger is certainly a possibilty. You dont have any kind of remote access to the laptop that X could be using?
