DeltaZero Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 As Tink said wing isn't that bad but the door may be harder. Hopefully you can get it sorted. Accidents happen though im sure he will come round Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's *fruitcage* all to get angry about really. A , but these things happen. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 At least you told him. Many butt holes wouldn't. On the subject of light bulbs, the Pinz came with a large box of Lucas 24v spares of all sizes. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Yup. I had that a while back. Car parked on the street. Came back after a couple of hours to a nice cracked bumper. No note. On the plus side, I now know how to replace the rear bumper on my car. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 had a second look on a proper screen. Should be easily fixable. worst comes to the worst buy him a new door. reflex silver polos are common as the cold. Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Time for a Bank rant! I've had a letter from my Bank (HSBC) to confirm my identity. They want copies of two documents (from a list). Only one of which I have. Then they want it Noterised by a person (from another list). None of which I know of. Then there's the confirmation txt (another part of this stupidity) which would be sent to my mobile phone (which I don't have). Why am I being asked to prove who I am? Has there been any fraudulent activity on my account? Nope. Have I suddenly come into a shed load of cash? Nope. That letter is now in the dustbin! Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 time to move banks. EDIT: also hey spud. long time no see. Link to post Share on other sites
Spudgun Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 You're probably right. The maddening thing is: I've been with the same branch for 40 years (It was called the Midland Bank at the time). You'd think that I couldn't be anyone else! Since I'm fast approaching 57. I don't have a photo driving license. I'm not self employed, so I don't have any of these stupid Tax forms. All my Bills are paid by direct debit, so I don't have any hard copy utility bills (only E-Mails). HSBC. You get my Jerk of the Week Award! Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I have a solicitor rant. We're in the process of buying a house. We hadn't heard of any updates from the solicitors in 2 weeks so we call up to shake the tree and see where they're at. The individual solicitor dealing with our case hadn't passed our file on to someone else at the firm before buggering off on annual leave for 2 and a half weeks. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I would call the bank (from the number on your card or their website) Seems suspicious AF. Someone might be trying to steal your identify. Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Wasn't HSBC caught doing some large-caliber shady *suitcase* recently? Also, I'm having the feeling that I got ripped off big time buying Fortnite. Particularly considering that their FAQ contained a line about the game going F2P next year and Google happened to cache it, even if the devs deleted it later. Basically, the game starts interesting, but then turns into an annoying grindfest. Also, the tutorial sucks like an industrial vacuum pump, it tells you next to nothing about the supposedly intuitive (sure...) construction system and absolutely nothing about everything else. And that includes the entire intricate stat system for pretty damn much everything. Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Thanks again guys! He's calmed down now, I told him he was being a *Ubar* quite simply, we're good mates normally so it'll all come out in the wash. Thanks for your comments on the damage as well, he's going to get some quotes and I might ask a mobile guy to come out too. Link to post Share on other sites
Tinkerton Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Seriously. Find a polo that's had a rear end smash and is up for breaking on eBay. Should be able to get a full door for about 100, if that. Link to post Share on other sites

I have no idea what they actually do for the money they charge. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Me either. It's all pretty standardised from what I gather so its just a case of they're involved because they have to be, and they have to be because some legal bod says so. It's a legalised scam. Just like insurance. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 They'll charge you for that two week plus delay too. Link to post Share on other sites

I would call the bank (from the number on your card or their website) Seems suspicious AF. Someone might be trying to steal your identify. Nah, it's HSBC being *rickrolls*. I ended up ringing them because of some 'missing information' which invalidated the first attempt, which I could give the guy on the end of the phone, but no, it's a separate department and no, I couldn't be put through and I'd have to submit the copies again. Well, they had the worst quality ID photocopies I could muster. And i don't think they'll have my custom for much longer. Best part is - If you know know or can't easily get hold any of the professions to act as noteriser, the Post Office will help you, for a mere £10.50 a time! Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 What a shitshow. I'd pull anything out of them and stick it somewhere else if they tried that on with me. I'm not jumping through hoops to let some bank use MY money... Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm feeling weird today. And certainly overheating. Worse yet, I can't take a longer vacation because there's a shitload of work coming up in the next two weeks and half of my team at work already intends to take a vacation themselves.

DarkLite Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Boss comes in 6 hours late, screams at everyone for not doing his job for him. I ask him if I can be paid minimum wage, he refuses, I walk out. Link to post Share on other sites

Hedganian Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 The clue is in the name - *minimum* wage. If you're being paid less, that's against the law (unless you're an apprentice). Link to post Share on other sites
