amateurstuntman Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Dad works for Vodafone, I get 40% off my contracts You could offer me 99% off a Vodaphone contract and I'd tell you to poke it. I was with Orange for almost 10 years, every year I'd call up and tell them what phone and deal I had seen from a competitor and they woul beat it. Same details, lower cost. Like clockwork for nearly 10 years. Then one day I call then and say: "Nearly upgrade time, this year I want an HTC Sensation with unlimited data for £30 a month." They said no, I went to Three. Now I am on unlimited data, more minutes than I know how to use and one metric *fruitcage* tonne of texts plus I have a second SIM billed on the same line just for data that is in my laptop. All for 30 quid. Upgrade due in July. Link to post Share on other sites
Baddbaz Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 3 network coverage is terrible in parts of london that's why they give massive packages . Trouble is finding a signal to use any of it ... Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I find London to be erratic on all networks really. Pretty much any big city because of the tall buildings. Docklands is a bit of nightmare on T-Mob. Dead zones all over the place, a few meters away from good signal. Link to post Share on other sites

Azubi Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 EE offer a data package when abroad, UAE is 50MB for £80. Robbing bastards. My STC sim from Saudi offers 100MB for £18 when abroad, in any country. I just ended up getting an Etisalat sim when I arrived in UAE a couple of days ago, works out a lot cheaper than those robbing bastards at EE. 3 seems to have got better since I last had a whinge about them, although it took me a bit of digging to find out I had to call them to let me use it abroad, with my 1 month rolling contract I can't just activate it through my web account with them like other contracts can. It's bad when the best mobile provider I have ever used is a Saudi one. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I'm on 3 and sometimes the signal goes (for Internet connection) but most of the time it's fine. I've had orange, o2 and tmobile. Always ended up coming back to 3. Rant:- why can't I walk away from an argument when all that's happening is two people going round and around the same subject. It's boring and tbh childish. Think I might just start going "yes dear" (regardless of gender). Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I am on Vodafone and they have never given me much hassle. to be honest I am fine with £10 a month for 300mins (500 voda to voda), unlimited texts and 250mb of data. That is with little if any loyalty and I just switched as I was bored of running out of credit etc. Though I could put a long list of rants here about last weekend, but most of them are about other peoples petty little problems that make them think the world revolves around them and I just don't care, too laid back and happy for that.

Baddbaz Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just put one up Camden councils parking ss army . 4 tickets overturned because the parking bays are illegaly sized . 1.8 mtr / 2.4 mtr from kerb to edge of line is the legal requirement not the 1.6 mtr that Camden council *fruitcage* wits have painted a lot of their bays and parking spaces .Worth a morning at the adjudicators just to see the wardens faces when they lost ......

FireKnife Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Oh come on. This is a rant thread, name and shame the petty people. To be honest it was just watching a group of people flip out, complaining about their problems and how in the true grand scheme of the world they just didn't matter. Watching someone try to balance an argument while talking about just themselves was the true highlight. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've over heard some right corkers in my time (be it on a train, bus or in a pub/bar). Rant:- can't decide what game to buy next:- Dead Space 3 Dead Island Riptide Metro Last Light Any opinions or thoughts would be appreciated (I'm a 360 gamer). Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Either dead space or metro Dead island riptide is just as bad as the first (seemed good but wasnt) Also, if you go for dead space, get the DLC for it too, its properly *fruitcage*ed up. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I would say Dead Space but don't expect the same cool scares etc as the first and second one. Personally I think, from the short goes I have had on each that your money could be better spent elsewhere. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Metro last light, is that a metro 2033 sequel? Currently trying to finish 2033 as Ive finished Killzone2 and Killzone3 and Farcry 3 haven't arrived yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Baddbaz Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I didn't type a swear word that was legible . Thought that would be ok as its jumbled up . So I can't sell any French connection stuff on here then without triggering the swear detector ... ? Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeap, Metro: Last Light is he sequel to Metro 2033. The book (the sequal) is supposedly completely different to the game, which worries me a little. Might wait a month, see if the price comes down (dead space 3 is going for £22 delivered on ebay. Where as last light, the cheapest I could find, was going for £28). Rant:- the front pin (next to the charging handle) on my Kriss Vector, seems to just fall out every now and again. Might have to put a bit of tape on it (not around the pin, but on top to keep it in place). Bit worrying to say the least. Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Rant:- Have a very slow leak just behind the toilet, seems to have lasted the weekend but means that I have to turn my water off and bleed out the remaining stuff every morning to make sure it doesn't cause an issue. Reason why it isn't getting fixed yet:- Landlord can't be bothered to phone and pay for a plumber even though as a wear and tear issue it is within my terms of agreements that they have to. Suppose I could just move, live in a *suitcase* area any way (which is very easy to do here with the way the city is laid out) and only have to give a months notice. It is annoying having a useless landlord. 'FireKnife' Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Buy a bottle of booze and call a Polish plumber, there. Works fine round these parts, if I don't fix it myself first. However, I had to do some really mean monkey wrangling in regard to tomorrow's photoshoot. We're on a tight timer and folks can't get *suitcase* together. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Let it leak and start rotting things. It will cosy him more... Link to post Share on other sites
FireKnife Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 I am tempted but I need to actually use the shower and bathroom in general. I am also going away for a week so have to clear all the systems and then see what they want to do. Either way I am not paying for it, according to all legal advice I have found general wear and tear is to be paid for by the property owner, not the person renting.

AFV Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 so ive just had a cut in my head stitched back together at A&E after a book (yes a book) was thrown at my head and caused a deep enough cut. I have to say the *fruitcage* that threw it has a damn good arm (but he gave me £5 as a "im so sorry, please dont kill me" thing so alls good) Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 You know what? I don't understand people. First, you have Americans kicking up because their houses are gone. I feel for you, I really do. But do you know what? You built your house if wood... In a place known as tornado alley. What did you think was gonna happen? Second, these sick *fruitcage*s that attacked the guy in London. Seriously, people need to not be dickheads. Link to post Share on other sites
