    Thinking about it, this might not be so "wee" after all.

    I did a fresh install of Mountain Lion but we're going to try and trick Coupon Printer in to working by making it think you've done a fresh install.

    The following may or may not work, it may also work for some but not for others. If this doesn't work then the only other thing I can suggest is a full clean install. If enough people want to go down this route then I may do a guide for it.

    Thank you Happy - I am mega tired tonight so I will try this in the morning

    Good night all

    Funny you should mention that, I was saying that very thing at work today. I know it's not fair to lump every young driver into the same category, but these 17 year old boy racers really shouldn't be allowed to drive anything bigger than a 1.2. There's a young guy that I work with and he is such a typical boy racer, but thinks he's an amazing driver (passed his test 6 months ago) He was talking about all the stuff he'd done to his car and was then complaining about the cost of insurance. I enquired as to whether he had told the insurance company of all the stuff he'd done it and he hasn't :eek:

    Evening all

    Feeling really quite crappy this evening, major sinus issues going on again and it's driving me round the bend. Head feels like it's about to explode with the pressure. Got a major itch in my ear as well :mad: and I can't get to it. If anyone has any suggestions to fix it they'd be gratefully received!

    If it was me, I'd discretely fine out which insurance company he is with and drop them a little email.:beer:


    Reminds me of a conversation in the !!!!!! club a few years back. He had passed his test and mummy and daddy had bought him a new BMW as a well done present and paid for all the insurance and all the orders. He was banging on about how awesome a driver he was and what not. Someone parped up and said "put your money where your mouth is" so I parped up "I'll have some of that, and I'll wipe the floor with both of you." My friend the barman did his best to get them to put their wallets away but they were all for it (and HC was all for cleaning up) but the barmen in the end had to say "Liam works on a farm, I've seen some of the things he can drive, don't bother, you'll end up with a serious amount of egg on your faces" Said poncy poofs then decided to spend an hour asking me that if I worked on a farm how could I be gay? They just didn't get it, bunch of ignorant.....
  • Anyway, I've cracked open a bottle and I'm feeling a bit down so I shall say goodnight.

    Hi Just caught up, so glad that you have had some good experiences from ebay as you had a bit of a nightmare with the first few things. My shed finishes tomorrow night and there are 102 people watching :eek::eek:, it is over £130 at the moment so will be interesting to see what it goes for.
    If it wasn't for blinds it'd be curtains for all of us:dance:

    Believe me I'm tempted, he's an arrogant little bleeper!

    Just had a embarassing experience in my Local T's, was with the wife and DS, and was picking up some receipts from outside, suddenly my wife warned me that 3 members of staff were looking at me and waving at security, me being my stubborn self refused to stop (after all, in my eyes it is litter) so I carried on, had about 4 receipts, as we walked away I was stopped by security and 2 male staff members, and they blocked my path (like I was shoplifting) and demanded to know what I was doing with the receipts.

    I asked why and they said I was commiting a "theft" as I was about to try to claim clubcard points for the receipts, I said no I am not I am about to claim a "price promise".. anyway they asked for them back, I said no, they said I would be bloked from going up to the CS desk. I asked to see the manager and was refused, so I tried to walk away, the security tried to stop me, I explained that if he thinks I have done a "theft" he should call the police. He then mumbled something under his breath and walked away... Jeez

    is this a store you target often for other glitches and DTD?
    bit of a scary story and i would be a bit shaken after this if it happened to me, hope your ok and sounds like you handled it well
    i would be concerned that your profile has been raised in that store now (if it wasn't already lol):(

    can be difficult to be discrete about some wombles like the ones in trolleys or bushes lol, for women easy to put your handbag down and pretend to rummage, fiddle with shoelaces etc ;), some people use their kids but mine are blindingly obvious although getting more discreet now thank goodness:A

    I do worry that they will one day spill the beans on their mum's habits to either friends or teachers at school :eek::eek::eek: so try not to take them with me to the supermarket too often

    I've got empty bottles that I bought to fill up with shampoo and what not but I can't for the life of me find the blooming things.:(

    Take full size with you, leave the remainder for the staff and it leaves you room & weight for taking extras home.......sorted:D
    Take care what you do on the way up, it may come back at you on the way down.
