  • It's a vent, if the vent bugs you, simply close the window, don't moan about it, not affecting you, thanks :)

    And if £367 is a lot of money then !!!!!! do you need an I-phone......you don't really do you
  • I didn't say that, I want constructive comments, not a discussion about the level of realness my throwaway comments allude to. So again, stop replying? thakns

    May I politely suggest if you don't want replies to a thread you head to Blogspot, Tumblr or some such like, because as an open forum you are inviting replies when you post and unfortunately you don't have any say in who replies and what their thoughts are.

    Your idea of 'constructive' may not tally with others.

    Is it a serious vent or a sarcastic vent or an attempt at humour. Perhaps it's a mixture of all 1....OP can you please enlighten us if it suits your agenda.
  • This forum amazes me. The OP has a proper issue, has done alot herself to try to sort it out, posted all the details of what she has tried and is asking for a bit of advice (and having at bit of a (fully justified) rant) yet the usual know it alls come on posting abuse and starting arguments.

    I can understand some of the posts where people have a bit of a go at someone who posts a help thread with barely any info and is just looking for someone to agree with them that they are so hard done by, ignoring the facts etc. I cannot see any reason to start giving abuse here.

    Hope you get this sorted soon.

    Gordikin posted some very helpful contact details but seems that OP isnt interested. Therefore peoples interest is lost.

    Doubtful.

    To be fair I think it gets 90% of posters backs up to read the old 'I only want constructive comments post'. Don't know about you but when I start a thread on here its to gain a balanced perspective, not just because I want a load of strangers to tell me what I want to hear.
