Libertonian_ii01 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Got my shiny new white car on Wednesday only to find that the seagulls had been using it for target practice on the way home. Also noticed the stop start function wasn't working so have to take back to garage on Tuesday where they want £20 for a courtesy car. Add that to the £70 I'm losing for having to give up a shift at work......??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine never comes on for me, but when she drives it it kicks in regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 The stop/ start issue may be linked to the battery (the car switches off the process to conserve battery power), although I have heard it may be linked to cold weather as well.

If their mum died young I can totally understand how difficult Mother’s Day must be but someone I know wished her mum a heavenly mother’s day. She was 89 when she died.

Ribble Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Weddings, 3 emails already from Mrs Ribble (to be) this morning, we only got engaged 3 weeks ago and at the very earliest the wedding is 3 years away.

Those are disgusting when you look in the bottom of them. Mind you, they replaced them in one building I use with the newer dyson dryers and they don't dry your hands before the automatic cut-off. The air that comes out is also absolutely freezing. Can't just be me that stands there feeling stupid and end up giving up and drying my now frozen hands on my clothes.

tian447 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Spam ****ing phone calls. I've had an absolute surge of phone calls the past few weeks, and it's doing my head in. 5 or 6 calls a day, all from a variety of supposed land-line or mobile numbers, and only ever the same one twice before I get a call from one that's very similar. They never leave messages, and if you do pick up, they instantly hang up. What's the actual ****ing point? I block the numbers, and I can see in my call logs that they try and phone again, but get instantly blocked, so they just move on to the next number and phone again. My phone number is registered with the TPS, but it doesn't make a bit of difference to these clowns. Arseholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
