Thanks Maz, I will keep my ears open for any UPdates! B)

It's great, me and the wife are getting misty eyed and saying they're getting big so fast! No pun intended! Change subject and not give any clues,,,,,, yet! Polos, Hmmmm. Ok. Still giggling.

Hi Peeps, still trainning for the Reading 1/2 Marathon next Sunday. My eldest (Sarah, 9) just came into the spare room where I I am sat at the computer to say, "Dad, Jimmy wants to say something but he's a bit embarrassed, He told me his willy has just gone up!" He's 7 and has just had a you know what. I just cant stop giggling, and telling the missus to be quiet, Ethan (twin) wants to look and Sarah is asking "What's the secret?" Help!

Main dealers are same price as on Ebay,

Don't stop the court action until you have the money in your hand. It has been known for this "verbal agreement" to go pear shaped.

Fool, meant to say second week in April!

I agree about the Hancooks - I've got a set. Just got through the MOT with them on the limit so are on the lookout for some new ones. I must check the loading figures as just quoting "reinforced" when asking for new ones is a bit vague. Kwikfit currently state that there are 44 different values of tyre load index. Gals need around an index of 95-97 (690-730 Kgs per wheel) Price seems to go up in proportion to tyre index.

Thanks, already got plans for some of the cash (Annual Legoland tickets)

Received court hearing date today (second week in March). Have to send copies of all documents I will be using in court, to the court and bank. They might pay up then. :lol: Not heard of any banks going to court.

Yes Mumof4 you are right. "Tiiiiiiimmmmmmmmeeeeeee goooeeeeeeess byeeeeeeeee soo slowlyyyyyyyyy" :lol:

Still waiting. Allocation questionnaire was to ask the court to ask the bank to reveal how much the bank charges actually are. They might back down and pay up now. Washed the Gal Friday, (must have been a while since I did it last, the kids were telling everyone "dad's got a clean car")

Ok allocation questionnaire filled in and presented to the court today. Just have sit back and wait again.

I must say that, in our area, the police are showing the right image. Speeding seems to be down (in my opinion, since my boy was knocked over) but there are still the people who ignore the school yellow, no parking zig zag lines, causing chaos.

Yep, I have registered with Bank action. Great site for anyone. Lloyds have filed a defence against the court action and I have been sent an allocation questionnaire. It's getting a bit heavy now and will cost another

Try here as well, they have loads of examples of letters you can use. Not just bank charges - loads of info on parking fines, extended guarantees etc. www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk Update - need to go back to the court. Case needs to be re-started - forgot to sign the form! Doh! (Lady on the desk didn't spot this either)

Yeah, can see the irony! :rolleyes: ;) Must do some more reading up on the way the case will be handled from here.

Took a trip to the local county court today. Went like clockwork. Took 3 copies of the claim form N1 filled in. (1 for me, 1 for the court's records, and 1 to send to the bank) Two copies of all the statements showing the charges highlighted (1 for the court and one to send to the bank) Chequebook to pay the

I apologise for the way I tried to highlight the original point. I have young children and yes, one of them has been attacked by a dog. Sarah has got over the fear but the boys are still nervous. My point was, and I should have worded it better is that, in this day and age with stories of sudden and heart wrenching death by accident. Is it acceptable to make jokes about the execution of another human being. (however guilty he was) Apologies again to all offended.

I like to joke. But how far do we have to push the line before we REALLY can't cross it?

Ladies and gentlemen. I hope that no one takes offence at this post and wish to reach as many people as possible. I can see that the "Saddam" joke and thread has been removed. Well done the mods. Perhaps in our Christmas cheer we may have lost the plot to what is "acceptable" in the subjects that we choose to talk about. We all read the small print before logging on didn't we?

I look at another forum, 4 people were all 96 the other day. I hear it maybe due to them skipping through the list and defaulting the DOB (date of birth) to 01 01 10 when creating a profile.

Happy new year all. Is there a doctor in the house? My head hurts!

Ditto, here here, all those involved diserve a well earned walk under a cow. Warm pat on the back. :lol: :lol: (puts serious head on) You know who you are, you work for no pay, provide information, ask for help. Give help, provide us with the opportunity to take the p!ss out off each other, Make stickers for our cars, Drive a Galaxy! I will not name names unless you get jealous of who was first. Once again, thanks and keep the site going. If you book them, they will come.

ELEPHANT STORY... In 1986, Mkele Mbembe was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University..... On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Mbembe approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant's foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Mbembe worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Mbembe stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Mbembe never forgot that elephant or the events of that day. Twenty years later, Mbemb was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Mbembe and his son Tapu were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Mbembe, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Mbembe couldn't help wondering if this was the same elephant. Mbembe summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Mbembe's legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly Probably wasn't the same elephant .......... Happy birthday to me. :lol: Been working every day since boxing day. :lol: What needed doing is now sorted. :lol: I get to have a couple of days off! :lol: PS what day is it? they all seem to run into one with no TV or newspapers. ITS CHRIIIIIIIISSST, (stop the "Slade" song right now that was last week!) I wish you all a very happy new year, drink if you want to, I am. But don't drive tonight, or tomorrow morning if it was a heavy night. Best wishes out to all that have to work tonight. See you in 2007!
