clayts450 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Tiny wee hedgehog was crossing the road ahead of me a couple of days back but I didn't spot him until I was right on top of him - positioned the wheels to ensure minimum chance of squishiness and was relieved to check the RVM and the little critter still bimbling across the rest of the road - checked he made it...he did. timolloyd, stonedagain, chadders and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attending to important stuff under the bonnet and he appears like a bad smell, complete with out of control dog who promptly jumped up the side of the car. Fortunatley, no scratches but a tad miffed, and even more so when it jumped up again and caught me right in the bo;;ox. The final straw was when I opened the car door and the dog jumped up the door itself. He didn't take it well Tell him to fro. Nothing worse than a bad dog owner imo. stonedagain, xtriple and myglaren 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fear that if you do that they might breed like, er, inbred fuckwits and we might end up with a lot more cunts with bugles and horses than before. Probably the last thing the Aussies need!

Since the Great Altcar hare coursing became illegal, they have diversified into breeding peasants and most end up in the wild. The trick is Not to get too close, to the car in front so that you are not surprised by emergency braking. The other trick is to aim the wheels at them because that way you get less bumper damage.

I'm fairly sure that, along with shooting Welshmen with an arrow from within Chester city walls, the intentional killing of peasants is now illegal ?

barefoot Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Right enough of this road kill bollocks. My campervan was returned from Dormobile this morning. Although I've not had it up yet, the roof looks OK, but they've managed to rip the headlining! Does anyone have any advice on the best way forward? I have taken pictures this morning, and because I am a complete smart arse, I took photographs a fortnight ago before it went. The headlining is only about five years old, I paid a fortune for it to be fitted. TIA TooManyPeopleMovers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehedgehog31 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Energy Companies - How the fuck do these cunts get away with it? Unfathomable bills, sly changes of tariff and charging you for energy you haven't used. Scottish Power are without a doubt the worst organisation I have ever dealt with. I moved house previously and had a ridiculous balance in my account, their hopeless online portal has no option for refunds. They were literally uncontactable, you'd sit on hold for hours before they eventually just cut you off without speaking to anyone. Emails unanswered. The only way I eventually got it resolved was to hound them in public on Twitter, funnily enough it then got dealt with. They eventually refunded my balance (on a fucking cheque) but continued taking my direct debit, again utterly uncontactable so I cancelled the direct debit, eventually leading to a strike on my credit report. They can all get to fuck, the robbing, underhand cunts but there's a special place in hell for Scottish fucking Power. The reason for this rant is I've just moved house again, the account is with Scottish Power.... They've not improved in the intervening period. paulplom and Spiny Norman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I hate Scottish Power, they're a terrible company to try and deal with. I've been trying to get their website to work well enough for me to enter meter readings for a week now. My flat has these old fashioned night storage heaters which operate on a separate meter & tariff to the daytime leccy, which no other energy supplier will touch without charging me two separate standing charges for, IE twice the bill, so I'm stuck with them for ever unless I spend £££thousands on a new electric heating system. davehedgehog31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now flatly refuse to pay my electricity by Direct Debit. I have enough money to be able to "pay more" to reject DD and receive a bill every 3 months like it's 1978. I also have a smart meter which, by and large, I'm a big fan of - mostly because our old Economy 7 meter was about 9 hours out and our cheap electricity came when the house was empty and nobody could use it. I think Energy Companies will be the next PPI. They really are shitehawks.

Tell them what has happened and that you have photographic evidence, and see what they suggest. I had a conservatory roof repaired under insurance. It fell down, I rang the insurance, who sent a different builder. barefoot, paulplom, NorfolkNWeigh and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
