  1. Just to let anybody out there with an Apple MacBook that their is a phishing virus out there at the moment which managed to get onto my MacBook and give out details of my mobile and banking accounts, they then ordered a new SIM card for my phone and when they received that they went about trying to get cash from my current account. When the transaction raised a query with my bank, they tried to phone me but got through to the scammers who tried to authorise the transaction but couldn't answer the security question (i deliberately choose a different one for each account with financial issues) and my bank shut down my access to the funds. Unfortunately i was on holiday in Australia at the time and it made life a bit of a pain in the arse, i phoned my bank after being refused access to my online banking which was straightforward, but they insisted i contact my phone provider to sort out the problem at that end before allowing me access to my accounts (annoying but fair enough). This is where all the problems started, the phone numbers on the website wouldn't work from abroad and despite digging around the net i couldn't find an alternative number that would help. I then emailed them which took 2/3 days to get a response which asked me to ring the number on the website (despite me telling them in the email i couldn't get through) and then to use the virtual help systems on their website (oh, because i hadn't tried that!) In the end i posted on the Lounge forum and somebody found me a number which worked and the problem was sorted very quickly. So, if you're using an Apple product then check it now, and if going abroad check the numbers for your banking and phone help actually work.
  2. They can call it what they want, till you leave them for dead through the twisties as they never learnt to go round corners on their 1000cc whatever. Great bikes the SV650 and highly recommended to anybody to ride for a year or two before getting a big JILF sportsbike.
  3. You were fortunate, i know alot of bikers who've returned and been charged a fair whack.
  4. Middle-aged bikers surprisingly incur high insurance costs if starting afresh as many seem to think they're Barry Sheene and depsoit said bike in the nearest ditch.
  5. Can anyone help? I need a phone number for O2 customer services that works when phoning from outside the UK, the number supplied on the website - 0844 809 0202 just doesn't work in any form or variation from outside the UK ad it's doing my head in as i think somebody may have cloned my phone the day i left the UK and its now been blocked. Thanks.
  6. Best Watch? Has to be the Omega Speedmaster which beat all other brands in a competition run by NASA to find a watch for the moo landing astronauts.
  7. I thought it was between Thorne for them and Jos for us.
  8. The mould growing in the corner of my shed looks down on dave in the intellectual stakes.
  9. Sorry, can't all be music queens like yourself
  10. Colour of the Trap by Miles Kane - Great rock 'n' roll with MOD & Northern Soul influences. 21 by Adele - Introspective and inspiring album from somebody so young, IS huge talent despite the hype. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Return to form, not immediate but a grower with every listen.
  11. Try this; 200mm 1/4" drive extension T15 Torx 1/4" drive bit
  12. So what gains have the Tory Aristocracy actually achieved? Can anyone say without resorting to insults or Dune-type ********??
  13. Now you're putting words in my mouth, i was trying to add balance and because you did'nt agree you jumped down my throat, time of the month? Remind me how many voted the in the last General Election? I've reached my 3 posts for the day so Ciao for now.
  14. The majority of the British watch X-Factor, I'm a Celebrity and Strictly Come Dancing not really a hot bed of sound opinion.
  15. Still clinging on to the 'Empire'? Dune et al make me laugh, we just shafted our biggest trading partner so our glorious leader could kiss the arse of the euro sceptics in his own party. This will be a very short term gain in the whole scheme of things and will just hasten the inevitable decline in our importance and influence on the world stage. Iceberg ahoy, don't worry this island is unsinkable.....
  16. If you trawl the interweb you can find out the stories about the F40 and the XJ220, it's not just Dubai, they're plenty of high end cars in private car parks in London that hav'nt turned a wheel in years; i know of a Lamborghini, two Ferrari's and a handful each of Aston's and Bentley/Rolls-Royce in central London that are 'abandoned'
  17. Poster on another forum has had both his Ducati's stolen over the weekend in Kingston, London. They're both heavily modified and very identifiable and recognisable to Ducati people so unless they've been stolen to order the thieves probably don't know what they've got their sticky mitts on. Can everybody who lives near and around Kingston, London etc. have a word with people who may be able to help, pass the message onto any forums they're members of and generally keep their eyes peeled. There's a FACEBOOK PAGE There is also a £5k no questions asked reward on offer. Thanks Chaps.
  18. Sounds to me like the lobbyists have been hard at work or a top Tory is receiving brown paper bags, thin end of the wedge and all that and i can see at some point in the future the data being made available to insurance companies in all it's glory. Don't the government have more important things to be getting on with?
  19. Zidane or Platini
  20. What will women read if you get rid of the red tops????
  21. Great idea, not much effort required and the fans feel involved, well done Schteve
  22. Blue Waffles
  23. I think its time to get the buckets out and start a collection for the blue few before every home game, surely they'll take the pennies raised and not think its some kind of backhanded dig??
  24. Right, once you've gone down the dodgy Indian, Russian and UAE route for money and it's backfired where else can you go? Iran, Syria and North Korea spring to mind but any other ideas?
  25. Deffo do the water pump at the same time, costs peanuts to buy and to fit if the cambelt is being done.
