The unused butter can be used in mashed spuds, fried onions/mushrooms, baked pots, soups, spread on toast etc., etc...........

All part of their ways to make more money from the customer.


I recently paid a cheque from CITIBANK for $277 into my Natwest current account.
They asked me to fill in a form. No problem.


Then took 5 days to clear the cheque.
Used a made up (in their favour) exchange rate
AND charged me £10.50 for the privilege.


I complained and the charge was credited back to my account the same day.

General / Another Email scam
« on: 07 November 2011, 03:44:11 pm »
You may know about this one but a friend of mine just phoned me as he was concerned about an email from an old school friend now living in Australia.......



Hi,

How are you doing today? Am really sorry to bother you with this email but i just want you to know what i am passing through. Am presently in United Kingdom for a Seminar, but unfortunately for me i lost my wallet in a taxi where my money and other valuable things were kept.I have gone to the CAB unit to search for it but I was unlucky and they said they can do noting about what has happened to me right now and I made a report to the police about the incident, i want you to assist me with a loan of £1,800 or whatever you can afford urgently to sort-out my hotel bills and get myself back home. I promise to pay you back as soon as i returned, Kindly let me know if you can assist so that i can send you the details for you to send the money to me in Manchester.

Thanks and God bless

A quick search on Google shows it is yet another scam. Are they getting smarter?

As an example of rubbernecking, I was leaving the M25 at jct 10 recently which is an "up" sliproad.
Adjacent to the sliproad on the motorway hard shoulder was a police car.
The guy in front of me going up the slip actually STOPPED HALF WAY UP FOR A GOOD LOOK!!!!!

He soon moved when I blasted him and the police looked up and mouthed a few comments at him.

At times like that I wish I was driving a Hummer with one of those snow plough attachments on the front.

Condolences to the families of those who dies or were injured but, I see there is to be an inquiry into the causes.
No doubt this will keep plenty of pen pushers gainfully employed for at least a year at HUGE expense to the taxpayer.


Well I can save them all the time and expense.
The likely announcement of the causes will be...........


1.  Driving inappropriately for the prevailing road conditions.
2.  Driving too close to the vehicles in front
3.  Looking at the fireworks and not the road ahead
4.  Over reaction to sudden, but foreseeable, smoke from bonfires reducing visibility.
5.  Generally poor driving ability, possibly compounded by the lack of training before the driving test.


I also wonder if it will be discovered that any of the drivers were unlicensed or uninsured?


I also accept that it was a tragedy and that some of those involved may have been unavoidably caught up in the mayhem.

Me too. The house at the bottom of my road has recently had them installed and I am still waiting to catch the owner for a quick nose.

The upside seems to be free leccy and an income "guaranteed" for 25 years?

The down side is making the decision not to move for at least 10 years, getting them installed before April '12 when the FIT is reduced and trusting the government not to abolish the scheme before payback????

As above............ get it red or white hot again then turn it upside down and put something heavy on it, or tap gently wiv a big 'ammer.

Lots of helpful advice here, Thanks.

I am reluctant to get my big axe out and start chopping bits out of startup as I may throw out the baby with the bath water?

General / Re: TV SURROUND SOUND QUESTION???
« on: 26 October 2011, 03:46:33 pm »
SITUATION UPDATE...............

After a bit of head scratching I thought I would try a 3.5mm jack to phono connection lead.

One end into the TV headphone socket, the other into my old analogue stereo amp.

RESULT!!!!  Now have (virtual) surround sound on 4 speakers...............WOOT

I feel sure this shouldn't work as its a digital output into an analogue amp.

But it DOES so DILLIGAFF

Thanx guys. Of course I have absolutely NO IDEA what DIMMS are, let alone reseating them.


I am also reluctant to turn off AVG as I imagine lots of nasties creeping in every time I go on line??   :'(

Used to post this type of plea in technical but not found yet on otherwise excellent new site.


Can anyone recommend a quick fix or download to speed up my laptop?


It always seems to be busy doing anything except what I have requested?


Latest trick is that I can type about 5 words before anything appears on screen?
And if I have the audacity to ask it to open something like "Control Panel" all it gives me is a blank screen with a little torch animation???


I run AVG on Windows XP and regularly defrag, cleanup etc.


Any suggestions oh great and mighty readers?

Well I knew I shouldn't watch but tuned in last night to that prog. called C*NTS or something like that.


What with..........."Ooooooooh I can't drive on motorways in case I have to change lane"




and........... "I like to drive slowly so I can send text messages"...........




then.................... "Ooops I've stalled it again for the 4000th time......................"




Next week we can look forward to the chav driving along with a bag of fries in one hand and a coffee in the other.




Its no wonder I use my bus pass whenever I can.






Cunts.

Last time I was there you could normally park down Battersea High St. even though the sign says no vehicles!! Lots of little bars and restaurants in the square to do some people watching while you wait.  :eek

I was weened onto classical subliminally while watching Looney Toons.


Then at Grammar school I was converted when I sat and listened to Beethoven's 5th for the first time.
