    PPI

    They get around it by simply using automated dialler devices which are illegal, but as they often call from overseas contries, they do not give 2 tosses. Give them a load of garbage and pretend to be a loony.

    "Why our food is making us fat"

    Erm it is the Grauniad, a paper so full of bile. It isn't even fit to be used as bog paper. That & The Daily Fail aren't happy unless they are scaremongering and spewing bull. I've lost count at how many times Ian Hislop has successfully sued this bunch of liars.

    Need to buy a smartphone

    I'm hearing way too many people having issues with iphones now too. Warranty claims are getting stupidly common on them, mainly related to batteries and charger circuit faults.

    Jubilee Thames Pageant

    To be honest, I had a feeling Freddie was dying long before he actually passed away. The way he looked in a fair few of the videos such as Invisible man & Miracle. He was a shadow of his former self. They always say though the brightest stars shine half as long. It was certainly true for Freddie

    Jubilee Thames Pageant

    Macca just shouts out of key now. Freddie was a legend, no ifs, no buts. He really knew how to work a crowd, and their live performances, well, what can you say apart from magnificent? I have several Queen Live videos & DVD's, and they are all epic and full of win.

    Jubilee Thames Pageant

    I have an Elton John instrumental as my ringtone. Out of The Blue it is called, and for those old enough to remember, the BBC used it for the end credits of the original Top Gear, when it was still a car programme, featuring Chris 'Beardieman in woolly pullies' Goffey & William 'Farah Slacksman'...

    Jubilee Thames Pageant

    I'm glad I missed Cherryl 'Curl'. From what I heard about it from several people, it was vomit inducing. Who picked the line up? A cretin?

    Jubilee Thames Pageant

    Paul McCartney was **** quite frankly. For crying out loud, who was the Dutchess of Cornwell? His singing was out of key too. I'm glad I only caught it on Radio 2, as El Tel actually was quite sarcastic, especially when Rolf was on stage. I lost count of how many times that McCartney said 'yer...

    Help with Possible Phishing scam

    They are even using companies that no longer exist. I had one the other day from Abbey National. They became Santander ages ago, and dropped the 'National' bit a stupidly long time ago as well. Honestly, 0/10 for effort on their part.

    Wish me luck

    My job means I often have to eat 'on the hop' too, because if an alarm goes off whilst I'm on my break, tough, break over, so I have no choice but to be a naughty boy and eat my sarnies whilst driving. Monday night, I didn't even get a break in 12 hrs, because it was mayhem, still managed to eat...

    Wish me luck

    Ta muchly. I'm glad I no longer am a bus driver, because the job is just getting for want of a better word ****! I'm going to do my driver CPC to keep my bus license though, as it will allow me to drive a friends classic coach.

    Wish me luck

    Well after losing my job last year due to depression, I've spent the last 7 months feeling useless, I finally found work in the security industry. After a few weeks of waiting, last week I did my SIA exams to get my license to work in the industry, and today, my employers rang me, informing me...

    The pet thread.

    Eric has tried to make friends with our neighbours Jack Russell called Molly. She wants to be friends, but Eric is very wary of her. Molly was hit by a car a short while back, and had to have her left back leg amputated, but she was hopping about 3 days after the op. She has just had her 'lamp...

    The pet thread.

    Just a quick plug, and a thread bump, just uploaded a collection of photos of his royal fluffiness to my Flickr photostream. Clicky this linky if you want to view cuteness :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/northernsoutherner2012/sets/72157629837998112/

    Videogames

    I'm more of a retrogamer to be honest. Still dig outy my old Sony Playstation & Playstation 2, and shock horror, an Atari ST. Even have emulators on the computer :)

    Confused symptoms

    Some GP's really are out of touch, especially ones close on retirement, as they do not read up on latest treatments & side effects of meds etc. I've been on the wrong end of problems caused by a pathetic GP, and his constant misdiagnosis too. Now I seem to have a half decent GP

    Any Flickr users out there?

    I've taken the plunge & joined Flickr now since the continuing saga of Pickfu comes to a close in 2 weeks, when it's creator pulls the plug. So far in the past 2 weeks, I've uploaded well over 5000 photos, that have been taken since 2004. Averaging about 700 hits per day, with a peak of 2700 on...

    Dating sites: opinions/experiences

    I met 4 girls on POF, 2 turned out to still be married, and living with their other halves & wanted a bit on the side, and the other, well, she was just a complete fruitcake, and even when I told her no, she kept phoning & texting me. I ended up changing my number. Talk about a stalker :shock...

    Daft hobbies

    It is interesting reading about your hobbies. By the way, my Lego collection has just grown, with a load of retro stuff from the 1970s. A vintage Renault car which was released in 1975, an delivery truck from around the same time, and a boxed starter set dating from around 1979. All for a tenner...
