General Discussion Area / Laptop wiping prob
« on: 17 July 2010, 17:02:00 »
Righto people, when my old employer went bust I was allowed to keep the laptop I had but never bothered with it till now...problem is I only have a user account and it has Citrix on so I cant activate the wireless receiver or change anything at all on the bugger.

A friend has had a look at it and doesn't think it can be wiped due to the security on it and the lack of an administrator password and it certainly won't boot from a cd to install xp or summat.

So basically, I appear to be buggered unless someone here is a genius. Having read this back it sounds a bit dodgy but it is genuine!

Guy if you by any chance had payment protection on any of your loans it's a piece of p*ss to get it all back with interest! done a couple for the missus!
I did, sadly & am aware of this. However i do have a very favourable overdraft facility with the bank should i need it. If i peed them off they might withdraw it.
   


As did we and still do I might add!! They are unlikely to do anything and hey, if they do most high street banks will match your account in about 15 minutes.

It's really surprising how it adds up,with the interest they pay you on it, we got about £4,500 back for the price of a stamp!

From my point of view the buggers would be unlikely to have paid out if I had claimed anway!

It's a gamble hoping they don't notice so I would get a SMART repair done prior to taking it back personally.

Chances are they will want a hefty sum for the repair.

Lovely pics, I was round those parts 2 weeks ago. Took a wrong turn and I think I went on the old A5 from Bala to Conway, to be honest the scenery was tearjerkingly  stunning and the best I have ever seen! This was helped by the classics flying past me on an organised run, 70's 911's , 60's Maesarati's etc.

I agree with Pete, look hard enough and you will find a door then rustproof it inside and out liberally. I am looking for a set to put away for the future as I think decent miggy doors are going to become really hard to find in a couple of years.

General Discussion Area / Miggys at the auctions..
« on: 28 June 2010, 18:34:53 »
Been down to the local auction and 2 miggys went through :

52 reg 2.6 cdx with 100,000 on the clock, leather and was immaculate, typical one older owner mudflaps and Vx mats stylee. I was definately up for bagging it and waited ages for it's turn. Soon as the guy started it it sounded like a bag of bolts in a washing machine, I've never heard a miggy sound so sick and yet still be driveable. Bids went up to £475 but that still didn't win it!!! 

X reg 2.0 gls with 51,000 on the clock and one bubbly arch but mint otherwise, bidding went up to £500 but this was not accepted by the SEAT dealer who sent it in.

What do you reckon to their worth?? would the 2.6 have been worth repairing?

He has put a fair bit back into his home town with a music institute he supports but I do find him a bit irritating.

Ringo is a complete tw*t and will likely be chinned if he ever shows his face in this town again following comments he made on TV last year!!

Kirkby Earthquake Appeal

An earthquake measuring 5.7 on the richter scale hit Liverpool last Wednesday morning. The epicentre was Kirkby. Casualties were seen wandering aimlessly saying "bang out of order", "mental", and "that did my head in". The earthquake decimated the area causing in excess of £17.55 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from Ibiza and Corfu were damaged beyond repair. Three preserved areas of historic burned out cars were destroyed. Many locals were woken before their Giro's arrived.

One resident, Tracey Sharon Smith, a 15 year old mother of four said "It was such a shock, little Chardonnay-Leigh came running into my bedroom crying, and my hands were shaking so much that I could hardly skin-up whilst I was watching Trisha."

The British Red Cross has so far managed to send 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to help with the crisis. Rescue workers are still searching the rubble and have found numerous "Elizabeth duke" sovereigns, benefit books, bone china from Poundstretcher, and Argos catalogues. However they have not managed to save any furniture from Crazy George's as yet.

How can you help?

This appeal hopes to raise money for food and clothing parcels for those unfortunate enough to be caught up in the disaster. Clothing is most sought after. Urgently needed are LaCoste tracksuits (his & hers preferably) white socks, Burberry caps, woolly Benny hats, and Reebok trainers. Food parcels are also needed. They include McCain's Micro-Chips, Aldi Beans, Monster Munch, and Iceland pizzas. Alcohol is also in short supply, especially White Lightning Cider and Stella (wife beater).

Cash donations are also needed. 22p buys a Bic biro for signing on, £2.50 buys a jumbo sausage dinner, £3.00 buys a blag CD (not an original copy), £20 buys a fake M.O.T., (or 10 gallons of red diesel to burn the vehicle out), and £26.00 buys 200 Regal from Tommo who has just back from Kavos.

Has anyone seen these in years, Big round shortcake with milk chocolate on one side and came in packs of four?

Rumours persist that they are still made but has anyone seen any in shops anywhere? Bloody lovely with a cuppa!

well youve got a morris 1000, a black cab, & is that a standard vanguard?, & the convertable looks like a sunbeam talbot, but im probably wrong!, & the one in the background i cant see properly!. :-/


Well done Alf! :y :y :y  Although the Sunbeam is the one I am stuck on, as there were a few cars going around at the time that looked like those.  As for the Standard Vanguard, my driving instructor in 1970 still owned one of them.  A lovely car to ride in :-* :-* :-*


Ooer missus!! :o

I heard they found all the rubble a few years ago, should definately be rebuilt!!
