Random Irritations

Not a box for a driver.

If your tape measure says other wise get a new one.

Drivers normally measure 48". 48" = 1220mm. Then allow for packaging and cardboard thickness

Where I take my boxes for Evri they have a measure taped to the wall and check parcel length before accepting it.

I don't know what else to tell you - I've sold my drivers on Ebay several times, have always put them in one of the boxes one of my other clubs came in, and they fitted fine with no modifications. And my parcels weren't rejected in transit.

Recently because of 3 or 4 posters on here I have started to want their teams to lose at football.

I have nothing against the teams or did not have, but find I am now wanting hoping for a loss to keep them quiet.

The posters have so much bias that they cannot see another person's point of view and at times I feel embarrassed for them.

Which teams would they be?

 

[jim8flog]

Which should come with one

Not when you are buying second hand and the last new wood I bought did not.
The pro wanted extra for one.

Which teams would they be?

Which you do think? Sure you are on here enough to have a good idea.

Not in Championship nor league 1 and 2.No more clues.

How many teams?
I'd guess one from London, one from Nottinghamshire and one from Merseyside?

Car insurance. More specifically Hastings direct

They haven't sent me a renewal

I have 2 quoted ready to accept elsewhere for a reasonable price just want to check if Hastings is going to be cheaper or the same

30 mins on phone they having issues with my account saying all kind of excuses. They need to transfer me to new business set up a new account then run a quote.

No mate just leave it I'll move away. "Oh it won't take long" well it's taken 30 mins of my morning to get to here . Not wasting anymore time on the phone to you guys when I have quotes ready to be paid for .

I know right lol

To be fair I'm best off shot of these guys .. I had to spend 2 hours on the phone to them when the car was ordered as they claimed the model of car never existed. Lol

My Thursday football group. We had a lull earlier in the year where I stopped booking it because people had stopped turning up and we were losing money. Several begged me to keep it going, so I found a new location that was cheaper, reduced the numbers so we only needed 14 or 16 players instead of 18, booked it up - first few weeks it was good, but eight weeks in and they've all stopped turning up again. Why beg me to book it again if you're still not going to bloody turn up?

Car finance misselling!!!!

So i m pretty sure i have been mis-sold. Have had multiple cars on PCP over the period. BUT, i dont have any paperwork as most get shredded over the years of moving things around.
Came across a website that says that all i need to do is fill out my name and some minor detail and then they will find out the rest. If it was so easy, why don the govt/FCA mandate that the companies find the people and pay them. Why this process of applying, rejecting, reapplying and waiting.. I could do with a nice Christmas surprise..

At the moment it is because the precedent case law and FSA decisions are still going through. There is no certainty (though it seems likely) that any payouts will be made and it will be well into next year before anything is certain. I used the MSE template to submit mine.

The fact that the original Nespresso Pod machines are remain pretty expensive but the newer Vertuo models can be picked up for next to nothing. I known why, Nespresso messed up on the patent on the original pods so anyone could make them but they got it right on the Vertuo so you can only buy them from Nespresson direct online or in their stores.

I like nespresso coffee as a decent compromise between taste and convenience but I want the old style pods so as I can just grab some at the supermarket but I am bot paying upwards of £100 for a base machine when they can sell the newer version that takes the vertuo pods for £50
