Why is it showing the wrong time on all your posts then? It's the right time on my computer's clock.


Fucking alarm is still going off too!

Dunno, all the times look fine here.

There's a glitch in the matrix...but it looks like the glitch may be at your end of it. :hmmm:

Back in a jiffy...just want to check something...

Sorted thanks

The alarm has stopped too, but I don't think that was anything to do with you ;)

Alarms can get upset if the electricity substation clock hasn't been set correctly.

Insurance companies again!

Sold the Tmax so needed to cancel the original policy. I've had my NCD mirrored for the Hypers policy whilst i'm waiting for the Tmax to sell, so would ideally like my NCD applied to the new policy, rather than gain a (pointless) second NCD for one year. Speak to Bennetts, who says yes they can cancel the Tmax policy, but can't switch my NCD. So I'll have to wait until renewal time next year and then start my next policy with my 9+ year NCD and my newly acquired 1 year NCD will go to waste after 2 years when it expires unless I buy a second bike. Still with me?

I now CBA and say whatever then, lets get it done. Because my Hyper policy has a mirrored NCD it was to be reffered to a specialist who say as the policy is only a few days old, they'll have to cancel it as well as the Tmax policy and issue a new policy completely. I've already been charged £50 to cancel the Tmax policy and am not happy about paying another £50 to cancel this policy. No problem as they'll waive the second £50. Great.

So I I say yes to everything else and get a £480 refund overall with a new policy for the hyper with my original NCD on. I get my documents through and they've charged me a £20 arrangement fee! :roll: I phone them back and they can't/won't refund the arrangement fee. If I cancel and go elsewhere I will pay the £50 cancellation fee! :facepalm:

That moment when you open a cupboard door but aren't concentrating/looking and you don't realise you have the wrong handle and it opens the wrong way.

If they didn't tell you over the phone about the £20 fee - then surely that's a miss-sell?

Emailing a car dealer with a few questions about one of their cars and receiving a response that doesn't answer the questions and thinks I want a quote and then despite saying the quote is attached , fails to attach it.

Realised after 17h00 that I actually hadn't booked a place on first tracks in the morning. If I'd realised earlier I might have managed to book one but :( :(

Contemplating going to the meet point anyway to see if they'll let me join in anyway. But I don't have much hope :( :(

Doctors who dgaf.
Mate of mine has been struggling for a couple of years, now got Bell's palsy, but not been well for a while. Usual Doctor 'well you're not getting any younger!'
A locum put 1 +1+1 together and he went for a scan.
Today he goes to see an oncologist to see what can be done!
He makes Noggin look like a lottery winner when it comes to luck :(

Give that doctor a 5% pay rise for his efforts, paid for by the tax payer who won't get a pay rise.
