After a few years use at your local tyre centre you may find that the locking wheel nut security key has been rounded off so much that it is impossible to use it without an air impact wrench like they use.

Say- at the roadside when you get a puncture in the middle of the night on your way home from the girlfriends with your wife texting you like mad and your wheel brace is all you have.

 

I would strongly urge owners to check they can undo theirs  and order a replacement if not, before its too late.

Great advice. Can you please also advise on the girlfriend/wife situation, as this sounds far too exciting for a Superb owner to contemplate 

not that exciting, as they are sisters they both exhibit the same nasty temperament !

I suggest you take a mobile with you and you can text your wife back or

I would suggest you check the locking wheel nut key if you've had your wheels removed and any damage to it kick off and get them to replace it as they're not supposed to use an air gun with them. Once replaced find a decent garage. 

 

 

Need to be careful running concurrent Girlfriend and Wife software (at any version), it is not a good idea.  Frequently results in Wife instance being deleted (or at least prolonged denial of resources) along with most of your cache.

That remonds me of ths:

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from GirlFriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0, and found that it’s a memory hog leaving very little system resources available for other applications. He is now noticing that Wife 1.0 is also spawning Child Processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization, where it can monitor all other system activity. He’s finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before).

During installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as Mother-in-law 55.8 and Brother-in-law Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

Some features he’d like to see in the upcoming wife 2.0:

a “Don’t remind me again” button.
a Minimize button.
an install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 be installed with the option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other system resources.
an option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would allow the system’s hardware probe feature to be much more useful.

I myself decided to avoid the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 7.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 7.0 on top of Girlfriend 6.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 6.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. Apparently the previous versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. To make matters worse, The uninstall program for Girlfriend 6.0 doesn’t work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing — all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

To avoid this bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different system and never run any file transfer applications such as Laplink 6.0. Also, beware of similar shareware applications that have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0. Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.1 via a UseNet provider under an atechinternet-users.gifnonymous name. Here again, beware of the viruses which can accidentally be downloaded from the UseNet.

Tech Support Suggestions

These are very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a Utilities & Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is indeed an operating system and designed by its creator to run everything.

It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 6.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 6.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 6.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 7.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under “Warnings - Alimony/Child support”. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation. I suggest installing background application program C:\YESDEAR to alleviate software augmentation.

Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YESDEAR because ultimately you may have to give the C:\APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.     

Yep, that's pretty much where I heard/read it.  Interesting thing is it must be 20+ years ago and it hasn't changed much, amazing how some concepts in technology (and wimmin) don't change.

 

It also reminded me when I started work for a company a good few years ago, the MD told me "We go to the head office in the USA once a year, sometimes wives and girlfriends are also invited.

"Oh" I said "That's very broad minded but if I take my girlfriend along my wife will go ballistic£

For some reason that job didn't last.

I worked in the USA  on a student visa many years ago. I told the foreman on my first job I was dying for a fag and I was going outside to snare one and suck it till my cheeks burned.

 

For some reason, that job didn't last either.

I live in a little village, very small minded conservative, prim and proper etc.

Been here less than a year and still having fun with:

"Would your wife like to join our village WI"?

"My wife?, I doubt it, she lives in Essex, you must mean my girlfriend, she lives here"

They usually rush away

or

"So lovely to meet your wife yesterday"

"I hope you didn't meet my wife yesterday"

"Why?"

"Because if she finds me here with my girlfriend she will kill me"

 

The best was:

"Did I see your wife yesterday at ......."

"I don't know - which one?"

 

The invitations for tea are dwindling - thank goodness
