Antisocial stupidity tax, at least the owner should be looking out of the kitchen window whilst “hoodyboy” slams it in reverse.

Scraper & de-icer, 5mins.

You could have a fag whilst doing it.

To be fair if it’s cold enough that you need a scraper and de-icer it’s hardly the weather for a spot of dogging my man.

Whatever you do, maintain a backup or two of your media as you already have some usb drives it should be easy.

Strange I’ve had 3 BJ’s in the bank for the last five years, no sign of any chance of withdrawal or interest and simply a cold stoney stare when I suggested I withdrew from a different branch….

if you cant get one could one of those car vinyl wrap places re cover it?

Whistler or Cypress Snowboarding, then Coke and Hookers.

You can still advise your bank and seek a charge back, you maybe better talking to the fraud dept.

What was your point when asking if you touched a nerve?

Also, doesn’t strike me as being particularly misrepresentative, after all, I left into the bit which said ‘whilst being correct’.

I would think this is obvious.

You seem to have an issue with the suggestion that while the OP is almost certainly due a repair, replacement or refund, he may well have to spend more money to prove this and could be without the service of his TV while / if it is sorted and that buying a new one might be a more pragmatic and expedient solution.

I believe this by you flippantly suggesting that one would send out their man to resolve the issue and have staff entertain while without the telly box hence asking if the pragmatic approach touched a nerve, though perhaps I’ve misunderstood your post?

Erm… I didn’t selectively quote this. It was the question which elicited my response.

I should point out that throughout,I refer to your posts, nothing personal.

No that wasn’t, what about your first post, Selective quote or not?
Let me remind you….

While being correct I’d ask is it worth it for a £300 tv?

Yeah, just send a man along to fetch a new one. Until it arrives, get the servants to put on a play, acting out your favourite television shows of the last year[/quote]

Not at a personal level, but I think following a year where we have seen some forum members endure some real financial hardship and I’ll fortune, the sentiment might have been a little insensitive. Don’t really mean to get arsey so early in the year, but you did ask!

Oh and a smiley,’cos that makes it all OK.
:-)

Well I won’t hide behind a smiley.

I’ve no idea of the OP or anyone else on the forums financial situation. All I pointed out is that while they should fix or replace the TV it might not be that simple, it would likely need him to find someone to look at the TV, get it to them and back and pay for a report on the fault and could well be without the TV for some time while arguing the toss with the retailer all with no certainty that he will get a positive outcome.

But you chose to jump on my post and selectively quote me to make it look like I had no empathy with the op or his situation and had just said go buy a new one.

As you’re worried about being insensitive you may want to have a look at your posts and see how sensitive or helpful they are, perhaps you might want to have a afternoon nap and try getting out the other side of bed.

Merry New Year.

Touched a nerve there did I?

My partner would be blond, lottery jackpot wining nymphomaniac, who’s dad owned a pub.

While the CRA is with you, you’d have to prove that it the fault was present when the set was brought.
Which means having a independent 3rd party inspect it and provide a report, which you have to pay for and I dont believe you can claim this back.
Add to this the time the retailer will want to inspect the set and then try to fight you, all time you’ll be without a set.

That only works if you do though ;-)

As has already been said home raid is fine but it does not protect you from loss of data through accidental deletion, ransomware, significant hardware failure of the nas, fire, flood, theft.

Really the only protection if offers is for the failure of a single HDD in the nas enclosure, and when you buy them off the shelf with HDD’s installed they are usually from the same manufacturer and batch. This is bad.

Why, well often HDD’s fail when they are worked hardest, like when you are rebuilding your data from the other HDD or HDD’s in the raid array after the failure of the first HDD.

If the disk in your array fails because the batch is bad or the firmware on the HDD’s has issues if all the HDD’s in the NAS are the same batch / firmware odd’s are you’ll see multiple drive failures.

It’s often stated that your digital data does not truly exist unless it exists three times and the nas only counts for one. Sounds like you need at least one other drive to back the nas up to.

So few people can actually get that its barely worth mentioning.

Part of the cost of a leased line is the fact it is the fact all the quoted bandwidth is yours, I.e. no contention. They also have a much higher better SLA (and typically come with a ADSL backup line). Domestic grade services are all shared between multiple subscribers

But its not a leased line, its not eye wateringly expensive and the number of homes its available to are significant.

I think your confusing leased lines and domestic fttp offerings from BT-Openreach & Virgin. I can assure you it has no ADSL backup and its cheaper than a BT FTTC Infinity package.

yep

Infinity? Its FTTC – fibre to cabinet (box).

You can get fibre to premises (leased line) but it is eye-wateringly expensive (1 month LL == 1 Year FTTC).

Really?

I pay £46 pm to Zen for a FTTH package the equivalent from BT is around £49 pm…..

Bacon rolls and Champagne for mid morning, just me and my wife. Then a couple of hours in the local and a walk to the curry house with some of the older singles on the parish so they aren’t alone on Xmas day.

That’s quite poor, I’d say now is the time to talk to a specialist solicitor in employment law, I’d want professional advise before moving forward, even if it is to discount an action.

I got cought out too, someone else posted it on here at the start of the week, mind they are surprisingly comfortable:-p

Don’t forget to set it to Japanese before you hand it back to the office. ;-)

@deepdave, I think you missed the point of my post, I use Rocco from watchworxs and Duncan at Genesis for servicing amoung a few others, I wanted to know which Rolex needed a £600 service every two years.

Sounds like a very poor response from them, I’d talk to my credit card company about it and see what they suggest but should that fail it possible you may need to take it to the small claims court.

I have a Rolex which is 30+ years old. It was a 21st present. I wore it continually for nigh on 25 years until the need to be bare below elbows at work meant that I didn’t fancy walking around with it in my pocket as it is now worth more than my car second hand. Still wear it when not at work though.

The elephant in the room is servicing costs. Rolex recommend servicing every 2-3 years as the lubrication used is said to only last that length of time. In fairness, the watch comes back like new with all worn parts replaced. Last time I had it serviced was about 10 years ago and as the glass had a scratch it was replaced as part of the service which then cost around 250ukp.

Cost of service now is 600ukp+ and once the watch is 40 years old that starting price goes up to 1000ukp. As it was playing up and only right twice a day it is off for service but I now have a couple of Seiko solar watches doing duty for work and play that between them cost a lot less than the service cost of the Rolex and should tick for 10 years plus without service. Not sure that I will get Rolex serviced again although I admire the brilliance of a business model that asks you to pay 3k+ for an item without mentioning that you may need to pay the same again every 10 years for the privilege of continuing to use it.

As you’ve had it for over 30 years you’ll be clear on what type of Rolex it is, could you help the rest of us and steer us away from those that need a £600 service very two years?

I’d be glad to clarify that as I’ve had a 79090 Tudor for over twenty six years but only had that serviced twice so far and I’m now worried that it couldn’t be serviced again without buying into a brilliant business model…

On a smaller budget I look at one of these from Seiya San. The Citizen use a coating to their TI which makes them much more hardwearing and with solar power they’re long lived and accurate. Also being a ltd edition in the JDM you won’t see many (any) about over here.
