WAMT....what annoyed me today!

Very odd. I've just changed my insurance and no such questions or demands. Must be because I am a foreigner ;p

I'm not (well not in this country ;) ) but I've never had such demands and neither did my son when I recently added his car to my insurance as a multi car policy.

You are to me indeed :p perhaps it is just that they asked as they couldn't do an automatic check. I'm so simple for all these check as I am steady Eddie, same address, still married blah blah.
 
My house is empty, well I think, beside my hound. So I bring home a curry, feed the dog first, sit down in the kitchen, put on the TV and I hear creaking upstairs. First I think it is the TV, so I mute it and then I hear it again

Wamt that I haven't been up to check it out :( I can't find my baseball bat anywhere. I'm sure it is just the wet and hot weather, me opening the doors downstairs etc but what if it isn't?

I mean that is what horror movies do isn't it? When I shout run away and the idiots go and investigate. Hmm what to do.

Just for god sake, turn on the light before you go down to the cellar.
That's usually the first mistake of the valley girl heroine ;)

Don't have to be that dramatic. Last time i called 112 and said a burglary might be in progress and four cars arrived very quickly.

Nope take it off that'll scare the little gits!
(Seriously I hope all is well :) )
 
WAMT is someone thinking that THIS was a good idea...
 
Some thieving scrote nicked my green waste bin.
Supplied by the council, many years ago, clearly labelled with my house number on it,
I've retrieved it from down the road before now, when they "forgot" where it came from.
I'm still waiting for the ransom note to drop through the door TBH...
 
or because they want your business ... because you haven't just ended a driving ban

This made me laugh, reminds me of me when I was first divorced, I'd been working a late shift, came home made coffee took it up to bed but then it sounded like someone unlocking the back door!

Panic..do I hide under the covers? Call someone, whilst hiding?

No I grab the nearest thing I can find and tiptoe down....Nothing there, was next doors door, but when I turned all the lights on the thing I grabbed to hit them with was...
My kids hobby horse that plays a tune! :(:oops:

There is usually more than one grand mother ;) If there is only one then I'd be concerned about the bloodline ;)

If blood's the only way to be known as a family member, there's going to be a whole bunch of hacked off adoptive / step parents. :confused:
 
@Lynton

Got a reply from the CEO's office..... Apology that chicken was ruined, these things can happen..... then the best bit.... Take it back to the store for a refund!

I mean of course I keep the off & vile smelling chicken for a further 2 days whilst I waited for a reply..... NOT
 
I am still kind of reeling from their response to be honest

Oh it happens just take it back for a refund!

It is a wholly inadequate response, I mean who would even keep rotten bacteria laden chicken whilst they wait for a reply from someone!

To be honest that is what I would have done prior to writing to the CEO. Bag it, seal it, freeze it if necessary and take it to the shop first time I would visit it again. And only if that doesn't work I'd send it first class to the CEO.

I am sat here wondering why customs would be intercepting internal UK mail
 
Well I have written my reply, short and to the point

Lets see what kind of response it brings

Oh you are so innocent ;) Many law enforcement agencies get involved with all mail, internal and international ;) They lurk in the shadows of many a hub....
 
For about the 5th day in a row. The kenwood dnx4250DAB installed in my car that claims to have USB on the rear panel. I have taken the stupid thing out of the cradle several times now to look for this and it doesn't have one. All the product info says it has USB and I cannot see it.

Where is the flipping USB?!

Does the cable coming from the top-right corner have a female USB plug on the end?

Not that I could see. Will have to investigate again. It disappears off where I couldn't see or get at. Will need to take a torch out next time I think!

Was the unit fitted by someone else - a previous owner perhaps? They might have routed the cable somewhere where the USB end is more accessible, like the glove compartment for example.

Have a look at this picture. It looks like that cable's the USB, now you just have to find the end.

The USB socket end isn't accessible. There's the end of a lightening cable in the glovebox and part of that USB lead behind the unit but the sockety end i haven't found and I don't think the sockety end is small enough to get through the hole the lightening cable comes out of.

That pic is a great help as it shows what that end looks like as I never saw it out of the car (y) Unit was professionally fitted by the previous owner.

Will have to see if I can pull the lightening cable through and get at the sockety end somehow.

What really p***ed me off today was being reminded that the MK Dons stadium is hosting the Rugby world cup in October :(
There goes the neighbourhood!

When the road infrastructure was built, it was great, it did what it was designed to do, keep traffic moving.
As more area's have become populated over the years, it can get to almost a grid lock situation, from about 08.00 -09.30 & 15:00 - 18.30
A little shorter, later, though while the kids are on holiday..

Are there any other cubby holes in the dash where it could be lurking? It seems unlikely that someone's routed the cable for no reason.

Entirely possible. It's top of the list for investigating tomorrow :)
