Sorry to hear that Squirrel I have a reliable car now but its only the last 3 years. Before that I drove various old bangers that were always breaking down.

So far this year it's been the clutch, the alternator, the immobiliser and the lights It's not exactly an old banger at 4 1/2 years old - just behaves like one

see rant below, from last year. well they conceded today YAY!! they hadnt got a leg to stand on!! i agreed to pay for some, cos its obvious i have used some gas since 2005 ;D but they paid for over half and gave me £100 compensation for the hassle they caused me ;D Calor gas are really f**king me off my house is called Fir Tree Cottage, unfortunatley there is another Fir Tree Cottage up the road and they keep filling the wrong gas tank (i order gas, they fill theirs etc..) twice last year they claim to have filled my tank without me ordering it or signing for it (i am not sure whether they did or didn't ) so i refused to pay, i owe them about £500. I've had red letters, letters threating court etc.. i wrote to them saying 'prove' the gas was delivered to my tank and i'll pay otherwise i'll take my chances with court, so they said they would take me to court. I've heard nothing since the £500 owed is still on my statement but thats it. Essentially i have not paid for any gas in over a year ;D however, yesterday they filled my tank again with another £300 worth of gas so that's £800 i now owe them, for something i haven't ordered I intend not to pay and fight them all the way even if i end up in court

Hey a result that VBB - I remember that from last year glad its sorted ;D I have just had a heated argument with some jumped up boy racer by me - Id just crossed the road with Jed and some idiot comes round the corner 1/2 on the pavement at silly speed I had to go onto neighbours garden with Jed I started ranting and stuck 2 fingers up at him - either he saw that of felt guilty as he did stop - but then said he lives round here so can drive on the pavement if he wants to words failed me but i did manage a few more choice comments in his direction The speed people drive down our road is just daft - scares Jed and me!

I've just signed up for the Telephone Preference Service which is that thing that supposedly stops those annoying marketing calls. It takes a bout a month to kick in so I still expect a few recorded double glazing ads and the like. What I did not expect was the call I had about 5 mins ago. I was making a sarnie when the phone went off but cos I was frying I couldn't get to it. So on assembling the sarnie I did 1471, no number. Not to worry I thought. A minute later it went off again so I picked it up. After all, if they try twice its prob one of your mates with a newe number or sumfin. No it wasn't. It was a young 'lady' (who sounded a bit chavvy I must say) who asked me a question. I didn' hear her properly so I said 'Wha'?' and she said, very clearly, and I quote; 'Do you wanna get your cheesy dick wet?' I replied 'no thank you, erm goodnight.' Not joking here, am a little freaked, how did she get my number and how did she know my little man was cheesy

Just got another one. Same woman although this time she sounded too p*ssed to say words beyond 'hello'.
I suspect her boyfriend has a similar phone number to me and she's been out on the lash.
