donnie Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 When writing an email at work out of courtesy I always start it by saying 'Hi Laura....' or 'Dear Laura.....'. Pisses me off when someone starts an email to me by saying 'Donnie,.......'. Where is the 'Hi'??? Ignorant biatch. Almost as if they feel empowered by not being polite and starting the email with a 'Hi'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted April 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2015 On average I get through about 1 new windscreen per year. I save up the little chips and get a new screen shortly before the MOT. Front of my car is beginning to look a bit like I've re entered orbit at too steep an angle. Wonderful 'obsidian' sparkly black metallic paintwork, but with an almost white base coat underneath it. Every now and again, a couple of times a year, when I want something mindless but therapeutic to do, I go out the garage and black up all the little white chips n dings. One a year? Really? In 30 years of motoring I've never had to replace or repair a windscreen! (Tempting fate, or what?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 27, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted April 27, 2015 This will be my first. It's cost me £100 excess, and it's a week before they can do it. Annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Yep, one a year for the last 4 or 5 years - you only get 1 freebie replacement per annum on my insurance so I like to make them last! I am doing a lot of motorway miles and the majority and that's where it always happens. Never had a complete smashed windscreen, but I've had some real crackers (literally). I'm also doing a lot of those miles on the M2 / M20 and I get the feeling the lines of lorries on that route are the primary cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I had 3 in the last year, this is my 4th. I've had, in total 6 windscreen replacements, never a repair. I protected myself on my insurance this time though, so no fees for me (apart from the extra £20 on the insurance quote) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 On another, slightly more specialist, football forum I confidently predicted nothing could stop a particular team being promoted. Other people suggested I shouldn't be so sure so I pointed out that with 6 games to go, they were 16 points ahead of the team in 4th place. So sure was I of their absolute ease of promotion I suggested I'd show my arse in a shop window if my 'stone cold cert common sense prediction' did not happen. Well here we are, one game left to play and the team in third are on a 5 game straight losing streak and the team in 4th are on a 5 game straight winning streak. My only 'out' is that I actually named a shop which has recently closed, which nobody appears to have picked up on yet. So maybe this should be in the things that make you happy thread?

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) The ridiculous faux outrage that has been caused by people being 'offended' over a protein supplement advert. If you haven't seen it, it's a poster of a slim model with the caption "Are you beach body ready". This has caused people to deface these ads on the London tube/underground and has sparked a petition. I'm not sure what the protesters thought this kind of pathetic action would achieve, all they've done is provide free publicity to the company (Protein World) and driven an uplift in their sales.

I'm with the "faux outraged" women on this one. Even at 4 years old my eldest daughter is aware that to be "pretty" you have to be "skinny" (not my doing at all BTW) so anything that encourages a more positive body image or gives the impression that "meal replacement supplements" are not a healthy alternative to portion control and exercise get my vote. Good on them and from his comments in the press the CEO sounds like a gigantic arsehole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
