Just watched a load of Dr Who, well, yesterday, and yes, I agree. I freaking hate any episode with those little buggers in it!!!!MingtheMerciless wrote: Sun Nov 14, 2021 7:36 pm Weeping Angels from Doctor Who, I'm 52 and should be better than this but they raise my bloody hackles every time I see them.
DON'T BLINK
I've really enjoyed it so far. But i'm not a superfan. Just used to like it and got bored. This series seems to be holding my interest a bit more than the last few!MrLongbeard wrote: Mon Nov 15, 2021 5:42 pm This latest series is a wee bit bobbins, they've tried to throw everything in to see what sticks, and it's a mess.

Where are you calling that has even remotely 'enjoyable' on-hold music???McNab wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 8:55 am Hold music that gets interrupted every 2 seconds to be told that everyone is busy and my call is important. I get that I have to wait, but I can't even get to enjoy the music in the mean time.
Well, maybe "enjoy" was a bit strong, but you are just getting used to the jangly, tinny horror and then the voice cuts in to take you out of it again. And then if you are sitting there with it on speaker doing something else, the music cutting off diverts your attention and you hope against all hope it's a real person that you can talk to, but no, just the recorded message telling you how busy they are.Rockburner wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 10:32 amWhere are you calling that has even remotely 'enjoyable' on-hold music???McNab wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 8:55 am Hold music that gets interrupted every 2 seconds to be told that everyone is busy and my call is important.

Any other time you'd tell them to do one, but the market is so silly at the moment the dealers can do what they like and people will still buy.
I'm half tempted to just leave it but I need another car in the household as I have to deliver stepmother's shopping each week! 
Oh well, in the great scheme of things... If I had any sense i'd wait for prices to drop back down again and really capitalise on it, but I'm a tart and have already bought a Panamericana grill, so I need the car to put it on! 
Thanks, you just saved me embarrassing myself tomorrow!KungFooBob wrote: Tue Nov 16, 2021 9:09 pm I looked at loads of E's on t'internet and assumed those dials by the seat base were the adjusters. When I went to look at one in the local MB stealership I made a fool of myself trying to adjust the seat with them... obviously the seat adjustment is on the door, those adjusters are for the vented seat blowers!
Some of the things he told me - if an engine management light comes on he'd take the bulb out. If a customer knocked him down £300 he'd put it in the small print that it invalidates their warranty. He also confessed to buying a cheap mobile phone used for customer contact, meeting a customer at a service station and then putting the mobile somewhere in the car he'd sold them so that when they phone to complain - they hear it ring. Ugh, detestable gobshites!Trinity765 wrote: Thu Nov 18, 2021 9:52 am Independent Car Salespeople (notice what I did there).
Bumped into an acquaintance yesterday who used to be a car salesman with his own business. He told me a few of the "tricks of the trade" although he said "you can't get away with it anymore as there's so many snowflakes about"
I don't like him anymore.
