Nice people thread part 7 - a thread in its prime

silvercar

The letter did not come with any photo graphic evidence of the offence and I believe that they always take a photo of the car with the ticket on it so I will ask for this

Both ours ( I should say "theirs" - OH and DS) had photos on the NTO.

Are you sure it is a council parking fine and not a cowboy?

thanks for the direct line tip silvercar, shaved £150 off my renewal quote by doing a new customer quote on the website.

Now if only I could get access into my online account!!!! Why does every website need a different alphanumeric password??

I'm watching a film on C4+1 called Catfish. It's quite profound.

A New York photographer has internet correspondence with an 8 year old girl who is an anzing artist. Her mother sends him her work, talks to him on the phone. He then meets the girl's older sister on facebook and they fall in love. It turns out that all is not what it seems. I can't properly describe it but if it is on 4od then I'd recommend watching it. I think you'd be interested what with us being tinternet friendlies.

It has distorted my view of reality so much that I'm now trying to figure out if the actual film was real. But it's a documentary, not a film according to Channel 4.

I don't feel bad about the film and my online life, I know lots of you definitely exist and one of my real life best friends I met on MSE. It does show that there are discrepancies that show when someone isn't telling the exact period of time.truth. I know sockpuppets and all that, but I would still trust my gut after a certain period of time.

I watched that too. At the end credits it said one of the disabled boys had died, the "mom" had felt bad about what she had done and given up her other profiles, she is still a FB "friend" with the photographer who has just under 800 FB friends.

I've met quite a few pixels, though no NP and I agree with trusting your gut after a certain period of time.

Quite a few of the np have met. It gives me a funny little buzz of happiness when, for example, michaels relays a message from his dd's to Lydia's or arranges to see viva.

It's a sort of success for all of us. Remember when gen's drinks were canceled because of the murder threat and whatever the ndg incident was I cannot remember.

Just went to boots for my new year odds and ends purchase and was surprised to see gift sets still left, shelves of them. All but a few stragglers usually go quite quickly it seemed to me in the past. Some of the stuff was nice but too expensive IMO at the fifty percent off.

Mine has been all over the place these last few weeks but I've now wrenched it to a mere mid-Atlantic location. Further pain to come on Monday.

That was one of the few good things to come out of LNE's affair - I learnt to have much greater faith in my feelings of "something is not adding up here". They seem very accurate and definitely not to be ignored.

I have never met a NP and would in RL if I thought I could be of use to a NP in need.

When the internet was relatively new about 12 years ago, my DD was a member of a horsey site and they had a chat room.

From this chat room an online friend directed her to another pony chat room - you can see where this is going - she chatted and 'discovered' that this friend was competing in a neaby horse show she had said she was visiting - what a coincidence!

WE knew none of this. We dropped her and her RL friend at the show and went home. On going to pick her up we learnt that this was an adult male who had appeared. We asked how was he dressed - jeans and a t shirt- not horsey or competitor clothes . Fortunately her more streetwise RL friend had kept them safe and she had not been 'lured away' to see a horse/pony.

We did not report it, she was very shaken. I subsequently learnt that if 'they' make contact 'they' are highly likely to attempt an assault.

We had a fine for one of our vans for some driving offence in London, it came with a photo with the reg, even the right make and model of van. Fortunately we have a tracker system on all the vehicles and used that as evidence that our vehicle was actually in the wilds of Scotland at the time. Not sure what would have happened if we hadn't been able to prove that.
