Stupid w****r!

by parthiban, 03-09-2017, 07:07 AM

Pardon my language but some absolute t****r through a red bull can out of his window this morning on the A406 - didn't see which car it came from exactly, but all I did see is that it flew straight into the front of my car at 50mph :crying:

Just checked it out and it looks like I may have been incredibly lucky and it hit the license plate as there doesn't appear to be any damage - my car's filthy at the mo and there's no "clean" spot so I'm hoping that means there was no impact with the bumper but won't know for sure until I clean the car and give it a good once over.

I'd like to throw the can back in that guy's face at 50mph :Chair:

Lexus IS Alarm Problem..

by Davros, 02-09-2017, 03:10 PM

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could help me.

I’ve just noticed a problem with my car alarm, and remember reading a post about it on another forum, but it seems that the post has been removed.



My car alarm went off today, but the sounder in the boot was so extremely quiet, it took me a while to work out that it was my car alarm that was going off.

I then set my alarm off on purpose to see if it was a one off fluke, but again it was still wasn’t working properly

Does any one remember why this is happening, and how to go about fixing it ?

Many thanks !!

Dave !

The Husband Store


A store that sells new husbands has
opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the
instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:



You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There
are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends
the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may
choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to
exit the building.


So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to
find a husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads:


Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.


She is intrigued, but continues to the
second floor, where the sign reads:


Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love
Kids.


'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want
more'.
.

So she continues upward. The third floor
sign reads:


Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
and are Extremely Good Looking.


'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to
keep going.


She goes to the fourth floor and the sign
reads:


Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework.

'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly
stand it!'

Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the
sign reads:


Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids,
are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic
Streak.


She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to
the sixth floor, where the sign reads:


Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to
this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as
proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the
Husband Store.


PLEASE NOTE:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's
owner opened a New Wives store just across the street.


The first floor has wives that have big
boobs and love ***.


The second floor has wives that have big
boobs and love ***, have money and like beer & watching football.


The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors
have never been visited...

US legal system

by parthiban, 02-09-2017, 07:43 AM

Just wanted to share a story with you all that has had me completely surprised and very impressed with how different things are across the Atlantic compared to how they are here! As most of you know we have a house in Florida and in December 2007 it got burgled - we got hit reasonably hard as they took the 42" plasma, DVD home cinema system, PS2, the stereo from the kitchen a few of the other TVs, and a few other bits and bobs they had grabbed during the robbery.

First stage of the process that shocked me was that the police actually managed to catch the criminals the same night they stole it and get all our stuff back unharmed! Within a few days we had everything back (mostly) and it wasn't really a huge issue. The only things that went missing were 2 of the remote controls, a few DVDs, and a few PS2 games. Not really a biggie in the grand scheme of things, cost maybe $300 to replace all that so I was pretty happy that we didn't need to make an insurance claim or anything and we had got off pretty lightly.

However, that wasn't the end of the story, because instead of the way it works here where the criminal would just walk out of court with a slap on the wrists, the US justice system actually works slightly differently.

The courts called me up to ask whether I could attend the hearing, I said I couldn't make the time to do it but if I had they would have covered all my travel costs. Because I couldn't make any statement myself in court, they asked me what effect the whole event had had on me and what the loss was.

I explained that it was a holiday home, so it hadn't made a significant personal impact, and that my loss was only about $300 so overall I wasn't unhappy. They told me that that was fine, and that they would look to claim the amount from the guilty party and make him repay it (in instalments if necessary).

So a few months following this (probably around early 08) the first cheque arrived. It was for around $150 which I was pretty chuffed with, and then another few arrived over the next few months for similar amounts, so I thought maybe the judge had ordered him to pay slightly more as compensation.

Think I received about 3 or 4 cheques last year and then at the beginning of this year I think I received two cheques but for much reduced amounts (around $15) and then I didn't receive anything after that so thought that must have been the end of that.

That was until 2 weeks ago though, when I received another cheque for $165! Then imagine my surprise to receive another cheque in the mail yesterday for another $125!

I really have no idea how much they initially ordered him to pay, or how many more cheques I'm going to receive - I wish I had actually paid attention to it to know for sure, but I'm sure he must have paid me around $900 by now!

Obviously this is just the state of Florida, so I don't know if it applies across the US, but how amazing must it be to live in a society where criminals are actually made to pay for their actions, and the normal decent people are compensated if affected by crime?




Sorry this is a really long story, but just had to tell it all as I'm just so taken aback by the whole thing!
