    It seems as though the car I drive has suddenly become unsafe, due to the fact that the NCAP safety rating has expired. I wonder if it's still safe to drive it?...

      Or is my car unsafe to?

      I know the Croctavia is unsafe but what about the Monte?

    3. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      Not sure. Best stay off the road just to be on the safe side, eh.

      Can't be bothered staying off toe road any more. I did that last night/this morning, cost me £20 for a shared cab from Northallerton.

      No better deal on offer other than more of the same poor coverage I already have. I've moved to another company with a much better deal with much better coverage, and about half the cost of Vodafones package. Even if Vodafone matched the deal their coverage is still poor.

      Village where I work no signal on any network except maybe 10 minutes spread over a ten hour shift , we all iMessage or use WhatsApp

      Well, three days after leaving Vodafone a guy called me today and asked why I was leaving. I told him I wasn't a Vodafone customer any more as I'd moved three days ago. He complained "I've been trying to call you for about a week now and you never answered!", so I told him "I didn't answer because I didn't think you'd like me swearing at you..."

    FFS, it's not Vag Com any more. It's been VCDS for years now, so try and get into the current times, eh people?

      the correct term VAG comes from the German Volkswagen Aktien Gesellschaft or VWAG ;)

      From the late 1970s to 1992, the acronym V.A.G was used by Volkswagen AG as a brand for group-wide activities, such as distribution and leasing. Contrary to popular belief, "V.A.G" had no official meaning, and was never the name of the Volkswagen Group - according to the internet.

      some people know it as VAGCOM, some people know it as VCDS...chill mate.

    Start - Shut down - "What do you want to do? Shut down, Restart, Log off?" - Shut down - "If you choose to shut down it might affect other people using this computer" JUST SHUT THE **** DOWN!

      Threaten to wash it's hard drive with soapy water, that usually works!

      I actually have a 3rd party application that says "Do you really want to pause?" when you press its "pause" button!

      Clearly, your PC is harbouring Chris Tarrant. I'd seriously consider calling the authorities.

  5. Rustynuts

    You can tell who pays the bills. That'd be me, because everyone else leaves all the lights on round the house.

    4. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      Nope, just bread and real butter (Kerrygold today as it happens).

  7. Rustynuts

    Keep asking the same question enough times, and eventually you'll find someone willing to tell you what you want to hear.

      Nope, try someone else.

      Worth a try. Keep asking......

      You just need to find the right person really. Stick with it.

  8. Rustynuts

    Well, that's it. Just killed Windows 10 on the laptop. It's too much hassle to try and work the way Microsoft want you to, and it's gone.

      And now reinstalling Windows from scratch, once again...

      Windows 7

      much better

    4. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      Windows 8 is the flavour on this laptop, as it's what it came with from the factory. So reinstall of that, windows update all morning to get to a fully updated version, then upgrade to Windows 8.1. Then 156 critical updates for that...

      I'm on Windows 7 for the desktop though.

  9. Rustynuts

    That's it, another twerp on my ignore list. For the first time I have two.

      Rustynuts

      Umm... Nope, not him I'm afraid.

      However, 20 questions this is not. No clues.

  10. Rustynuts

    The wife wants a light in the cupboard under the stairs. Like that's gonna happen. I have enough on my hands going up and down stairs turning lights off without looking in all the cupboards as well...

      Rustynuts

      I shall make those suggestions. Doubtless she'll have something to say and we'll still have no light in the cupboard.

  11. Rustynuts

    Yay! The wife has decided she likes ELO.

    1. dan4291

      dan4291

      I'm into rock and heavy metal, but I have to admit, ELO is my guilty pleasure!

      Got the vinyl double album of Out Of The Blue somewhere around - cracking good music!

  12. Rustynuts

      My mate's the service manager at VW. Gonna be a bit more though as the camshaft sensor needs replacement.

      Yep, daughter took a knee to the chin from her boyfriend, but xrays showed no damage, just pain and bruising. Cheers.

  15. Rustynuts

    Why? Adverts which are crap? Why bother? Like "Set of alloy wheels and tyres for sale. Message me for pics and more info". If you're gonna post the info and the pics to everyone who asks, put 'em on the advert and be done with it.

    1. blueR36

      blueR36

      well said !

    2. david2vRS

      david2vRS

      Amen!

  16. Rustynuts

    Just realised what "Multi tasking" means. If you're a man it's mowing the lawn, washing the dishes, filling the car with diesel, watching the puppy to make sure he doesn't mess in the house, etc.

    1. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      If you're a woman, it's "What time are we going shopping?"

    2. KenONeill

      KenONeill

      Or putting a casserole in the oven then watching Tv and drinking coffee for 3 hours! ;)

  17. Rustynuts

    Yay! Just found a forgotten case of Coors Light in the garage.

    1. camelspyyder

      camelspyyder

      Yuk! Let's hope it's past its "best before" date and you can chuck it out ;)

    2. camelspyyder

      camelspyyder

      TBH I often drink it in the US as a pleasant cool alternative to cola :)

  18. Rustynuts

    ?6K. That's what yesterday cost me. All because people can't curb their spending habits.

    1. Volvomeg

      Volvomeg

      oh dear thats not good

    2. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      Oh dear, that's not the worst of it either. That's just the amount it cost me to bail her out. The rest she'll have to sort herself.

  19. Rustynuts

    Just because you can't fnd something doesn't mean it's not there. Just means you're not very good at looking for stuff.

    1. fabiamk2SE

      fabiamk2SE

      Too true.

      The best way of hidin something from some people, is putting it right infront of their eyes.

    2. DEL80Y

      DEL80Y

      Or in my case its the wife that has put it away "somewhere safe"......

    Chas & Dave, Eric Clapton, and Albert Lee. That's all...

      kevberlin

      Albert Lee - class ??

  22. Rustynuts

    Everyone's an expert. apparently. Thanks to the internet it's now possible to be extremely well informed and completely wrong, both at the same time.

    1. langers2k

      langers2k

      That's always been possible ;)

  23. Rustynuts

    It's getting closer all the time...

    1. Rustynuts

      Rustynuts

      Well, it would be getting closer if "sales executives" weren't so dim.

  24. Rustynuts

    That's got it...

    1. @Lee

      @Lee

      :clap:

  25. Rustynuts

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.

    Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.

    I watched C Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

    All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

    Time to die...
