    So called "VW/Audi Specialist"

    Another rant from me - this time regarding a so-called specialist that has wound me up. This story stems from my Grandad, who has owned his B5 A4 1.8 for the past 12 years. Its always garaged up and has only covered around 20,000 miles since he bought it, it has only covered 2,000 miles over...

    Neighbours kids keep damaging car, legal advice?

    This winds me up. You cant stop kids from being kids - but I think there are a few that arent tought about the value of things and to respect other peoples possessions. I got a good hiding from one of my neighbours and my dad for a scratch on a front bumper of a Rover 620i that I did with my...

    So I do drugs apparently haha

    Typical point of entry "I can smell drugs" - been stopped a few times and had the car searched. Cracks me up every time they say it as the car isn't smoked in, I don't smoke/do drugs and neither do my friends. Definatley ego boosting and empowering them as they get to search the car, check...

    Courrier Insurance

    This is something that has annoyed me a few times. "Would you like to insure your parcel in the event of loss or damage" What? - In my mind, that translates to "You are paying us to do a job, but incase we cant do it properley would you like to pay us some more" I can understand for...

    Managers

    Thanks for the offer! You are true - but its not the event I'm missing I was disappointing over - its the plain attitude of my manager I was having a rant at. It could have been an afternoon swimming in a freezing lake. - would have been nice to hear "go and enjoy yourself" Ah well.

    Managers

    Another rant - I must be getting old - these are turning into a weekly occurrence! I should be doing work now, but to be completely honest - im not in the right frame of mind! Today's rant is about my manager, I like to think of myself as an open person, who is not easily wound up or offended...

    Orange iPhones.

    Cheers for the advice guys, I believe I cant flash back to an older version as the baseband version has also been updated - this may cause issues. I think I have read the same as you NHN - howver it looks like its a "teathered" jailbreak, which means the phone needs to be booted from the...

    84 days - ouch! Where do you use to get them unlocked? If I cant find anything reasonable by the weekend its going on ebay!

    Orange iPhones.

    Time for my monthly keyboard bashing! Something that has wound me up for the past few days - Orange "unlocking" their iPhones for different networks. A friend of mine sold me their old iPhone 4 for trivial money last month, the front and rear of the phone was smashed and half the screen...

    Pranged the car.

    It is a massive shame - just had to get it off my chest yesterday! My aim was to have the car as good as I could get it before I moved out - as I knew I would be spending money elsewhere. I moved out last month, so money is very tight at the moment, stuff like fridge-freezers taking priority...

    Pranged the car.

    Cant believe it. £600 spent on bodywork last month (Rear bumper, tailgate, bonnet and front bumper) Reversed off the drive into the girlfriends car. Pretty much forgot how long my car was - was going 2mph tops as the car sometimes scrapes when dropping off the kerb, as the front wheel went down...

    Badly adjusted window jets who miss your car and get me wet

    I used to twist the rear washer round 90degrees on my fiesta. Great for drive-by's.

    Car Insurance

    Yet another car insurance rant - I seem to have been plagued since the day I passed my test. The scenario; Looking into purchasing a "cheap" Corsa diesel to use for a few months whilst I carry out some work to my current A4 B6. Found a Corsa locally that needs a clutch, 10months MOT & 3 months...

    What do you hate???

    Purchase orders from 6 months ago - scrutinizing the order and asking where each part went, & proof as to why the items where purchased. Pretty obvious assumptions being made there, considering the purchase orders are historic & paid. There excuse was that they need to know where it was...

    What do you hate???

    New finance staff who accuse IT of stealing from the company.

    De iceing your car

    Start up and leave the front window demister on. I love cold frosty mornings, proper ritual for me - stand outside for a few minutes waching the steam from the exhaust.etc

    Selling olympic torches on eBay

    To be honest, I thought the whole point of an Olympic torch was only to have one. The fact that a load have been made defies the point in my opinion.
