Re: PPI
We bought a sofa from DFS years ago on 0% finance, could have bought it there and then but thought why not take 0% over three years if its offered! Lady completing the paperwork asked if we wanted to take out insurance to cover the payments - no thank you, 100% no, we do not want that. She went awa...
Re: PPI
Wish I'd been mis-sold PPI - the 8% gross interest is rather nice.
NOTE TO SELF: stop being diligent, and don't read any small print. Job done.

Re: Paris and Snowdon
I am wondering if the Paris atrocity could have been averted if: Snowdon hadn't advised the World how to avoid being "snooped" on, or Our agencies had even more powers to identify potential terrorist acts in the planning, or Apple and Internet business etc. Didn't provide unbreakable encr...
Re: Paris
Not enough Muslims seem to speak out against this type of terrorism, they seem to just let it happen. I am sure people at the many Mosques hear about these events in advance and do nothing about it (other than stay away from the area). Until they start informing on their own kind we need to treat t...

Re: Near death experience =bad mood. Rant alert.
I would take legal advice from a bike specialist such as White Dalton. Assuming there was no-one in the passenger seat of the van, I would follow up with the company and make some noise about suing them - that will focus their minds wonderfully. Again legal counsel would advise about civil action of...

Re: Moto GP Sepang - SPOILER ALERT !!!
I think Marquez could of easily avoided that situation,and even taken Rossi on the inside! Apparently Marquez leant into Rossi,and he pushed him away with his knee? https://youtu.be/YUIfCbUZql8 Rossi could also have tried to hit the apex rather than go wide but he chose not to :whistle: I think the...

Re: Moto GP Sepang - SPOILER ALERT !!!
On-line petition to remove Rossi`s penalty HERE won`t do any good and nor should it but if anyone want`s to sign :whistle: I have watched the video loads of times and Marquez deliberately leans on Rossi, if you poke a bear don`t moan if you get bitten :laugh: Well he only 'leans on him' because, as...

Re: The Death Of The British Steel Industry
UK and USA are well into the 'decadence' phase of decline - other societies throughout antiquity have been here before. This is the phase wherein people start to believe that the wealth will last forever, that they are entitled to it, that they don't have to put in effort to earn or retain it. 'Fast...

Re: The Death Of The British Steel Industry
The government is just coming round to the fact that you have to actually make stuff to trade--and its not just the ebb and flow of stocks and shares shuffling around the world in a nanosecond. Is it? Or is that just a line from the PR gurus - the 'March of the Makers' (LOL) - because they know it ...

Re: The Death Of The British Steel Industry
My Socialist tendencies make me say that if we hadn't used the revenue from North Sea oil and gas to subsidise tax cuts we might have had something in the piggy bank but we all had a voice and a vote in General Elections and now have to live with what we've got. The Norwegians kept about 85% of the...
