Random Irritations

just in from a long day and covid thread locked. Hope not for any of the sanctimonious types who disregard others views? Anywayy, a lovely spag bol, manu peroni and some decent wine. A good night was had!
 
TV has suddenly lost all channels. Sometimes the aerial lead has just worked itself loose but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Not sure how it would have come loose from the aerial itself but I'd have to go in the loft to check. Currently trying to autotune and not having much luck anyway. Can't really afford a new telly just this side of Christmas...
 
Customers who bring their new car back after a week of ownership stating that there is a crack in the windscreen that "must" have been there when they picked it up.
So the service department didn't see it when they PDI'd the car, the valeter didn't see it when he cleaned the car, the salesman didn't see it when he handed the car over to you, and you didn't see it when you picked it up either???
But now, a week later, you have spotted it? And you haven't been anywhere in the car, like you drove it home a week ago and it's been parked on your drive which is covered by CCTV all that time??
Then how come you've got 211 miles on it???
The old saying "Buyers are liars" rings true time and time again...

Spent hours trying to sort out my MiL's TV on christmas eve when it lost all signal. Eventually, on a whim, did a factory reset on the Humax Freeview box and wiped the hard drive. It worked.
Not saying I can diagnose your problem, which is probably completely different, from a brief description but worth a try innit?

Just put my old top of the range wireless printer on a Facebook page, looks like new and works perfectly, just needs a good nozzle clean.
First two people to enquire on it both asked the same question... "Do you deliver?".
Foxtrot Oscar. Get off your arse for a free printer.

It's cleaning the dogs. Two Labradors who are partial to a bit of mud! Bought a hozelock shower last winter so time to get that back out as Daisy is snoozing next to me on the settee and the aroma of wet, damp, muddy dog is noticable!!
