Oh there was a dodgy e-mail sent to all members leading to a porn site and MSN is just awful, I suspect gremlins and the Black Stig (he is evil compared to the Stig who is good)

Aw, Glam, bloody insurers. I know the feeling though - when the Banana died they gave me less than I paid for the new exhaust I'd just fitted about a fortnight before the accident Have a go though, you might be able to push them up. Ask what criteria they based the assessment on. If it's purely on book price, you probably won't be able to encourage them up, but if they've taken other things into accout, you might be able to argue for more. And in other news, I think I'm going to write to Halfords as it's now obvious that I touched a little nerve there and as it's not just me they've p*ssed off they deserve to know  I wish I was good at ranting and raving it might help more, I just tend to get upset. I went up to the garage where the Glammobile is to double check I'd lifted everything out of it and some so and so's away with some of the switches from inside!! Blooming check, the girl at the garage blamed the tow people. I know it's going to car heaven but it's still my fecking car at the moment so what bugger thinks they've got a right to ramdonly pinch stuff from inside? I'm so annoyed I've bought chocolate |

Oh Glam. Poor car, and rotten insurers. Have chocolate, or whatever makes you feel happier. Maygrail - what's up with HH? Just clicked on my link and it's saying they can't find it anymore, nor through Google. |

I plan to be in a chocolate/bottle of wine/ Gene Hunt related coma by the end of the evening. In other news I also visited my first car auction today so have developed the plan. I will surive with a car until I return from Oz - if I do  - and will then get something from there. |

Well, Glam it sounds like you have a coping strategy  If you ever need anyone to rant on your behalf, I'm always willing to take up my keyboard. I've got quite good at it over the years... Here's an example of a complaint I made to First Great Western (I think) when I had a horrible train journey a few years ago. They must have liked it; they refunded the ticket in full, not just for the return portion! www.angelfire.com/weird2/wyvernslair/the_buggrit.html |

This ain't right, my ex-boyfriends best mate just said he loves me and he's told me his address. I wish he would'nt do that cause a) He's 18 and b) he's also my my best mate and I see him as more of a brother than anything else.

He's one of my best mates, and even though I'm still furious at my ex I could'nt do that to him, It's just not right I want him to stay like an older brother to me, we have a really good friendship and I would'nt want to spoil it |

I am in mourning, I even pulled a bit of the paintwork off and took it home with me - I would have tried taking the badge but didn't have a screwdriver

I'd be the same if I lost my little old Fiesta. She's a good old girl and I'm very attached. Did you manage to get the number plate off it? (Are you allowed to do things like that?) |

I didn't think about that, the front ones all smashed though there might still be bits of it at the side of the road. I can always go up again as I imagine they have to keep it there until everythings sorted out

Oh Glam, I'm sorry. I know how that feels. When my old Fiesta died, we took off the front of one of the wings & part of the bonnet & radiator grill with an angle grinder. The idea was to attach it to the garden wall as a light (in the headlamp) and scatter a few bricks around it to look like a car had driven through the wall. Of course we never got around to doing it & now I have a fence with another garden the other side, not a 6' wall with a road the other side, so It wouldn't really have the same effect. Mini rant while I'm here: Why, when I'm an hour late for work & the roads are almost clear, are there 3 people who think speed limits are for sticking to and drive in such a way that you can't get past them (eg outside lane of the motorway). Those 3 people managed, beween them, to block my entire journey! |

Another rant, I'm afraid... When I finished uni today I thought, well, I have about 90 minutes till the shops shut and the campus is right in town, so I'll get myself a new pair of jeans because I only have one pair left that fits and hasn't fallen apart. There's a great big mall in the city centre and lots of clothes shops... and then I made the mistake of letting a certain phrase into my head. Buying a pair of jeans? How hard can it be? The answer is VERY! Found a pair I liked in Next Clearance, but they don't have a changing room, so I won't buy on principle, especially if the garment in question *looks* like it might fit but is a size smaller than I usually buy. So I went to Debenhams, where I tried on a pair in my usual size and they were enormous, so I tried the next size down... and couldn't do them up. I even tried a couple of charity shops, but no joy there either, so I ended up in H&M, where I found a very nice pair, but I only had 5 minutes till they shut, so I couldn't try them on. However, unlike the ones in Next, they were only £5, so I didn't worry too much. However, I did think they looked a bit undercut, so I went for a couple of sizes up. I got them home, I tried them on, they were great in the legs, great in the bum, went over my hips... and steadfastly refused to meet around my middle Apparently I need to go up about 5 sizes from what I'd normally wear if I'm to find something to fit properly in H&M. I think the person who does their sizing must be a bit bonkers. So tomorrow I will have to get up early and go into town to change them for a bigger pair before my friend arrives to pick me up so I can see their new car. I have no idea why they want me to do this, it's a Picasso, and a Xsara at that - exactly the same as the one they have, except newer! |

Jeans  I found my current pair in the attic, god knows where they came from. Sizing for anything is plain weird, bras in M&S, I have the same size with all of mine yet some fit perfectly, one or two are awful! And the way they are cut so they droop when you bend over and tummy bulges over the top, it's not attractive. The hipster cut sucks!! just a cut a little higher and it would be fine. And on the subject of wearing stuff on the hips, school uniform, which I sell, why I do it I don't know, it other than its the family business. This is an observation, trousers for boys are to be worn on the waist, however they are pulled down to the hips. Then the mothers wonder why the legs are too long and the crotch breaks when they cross their legs and the stiches go, and they are too tight on the hips when however they fit perfectly on the waist. The same applies to girls and skirts, should be worn on the waist not hips, they need a size bigger and then they moan when the skirt bulges around their thighs, and when I explain that there is where the hips should be in the skirt they roll their eyes. Then the child and mother thinks the child is huge when they are skinny minis. 'gets off soap box' sorry |
