You weren't told the description was too long - you were told it was too much information for a single paragraph. Advertising it with less information - but still all crammed into a single paragraph - is not really any better.
-
This is the first post on this thread where I'm disappointed I wasn't mentioned. Must try harder.
-
If they don't want to insure you on that car, why would they give you a better quote? They're not trying to be competitive because they don't want the business. When I bought the 964, it was obvious which companies didn't want to insure it because they come up with silly quotes that they know you won't want.
-
Clearly it's because they don't want to insure you - whatever the reason for that may be.
-
I didn't buy it on principle. I do want GT5, but I am getting somewhat sick of the fact that the game appears to be taking longer to develop than the console itself did.
-
I'm also with the RAC and have been for 20 years. I don't think they're necessarily the cheapest but no complaints about their service. Many years ago, the 964 broke down on a Sunday evening. I'm not convinced the mechanic actually knew which end the engine was - but aside from that, they transported me and the car home and then picked it up Monday morning to take it to my garage of choice.
-
I know some of them have announced ridiculous bonuses, and I actually strongly object to it given how much money was given to them to bail them out. I'm in the process of moving my accounts - and I'm pretty sure the bank I'm moving to is one of the ones who announced big bonuses. If they're all doing it, then I guess it makes no difference. However - if the new bank has announced big bonuses and my existing bank doesn't then the new bank can shove my accounts into a very dark place. So - anybody know? Is it all of them or just some? And if so - which?
-
I hope it's not coming south - I didn't bring my work laptop home today!
-
Supra meet at Rosie's anyone?
-
The service history doesn't appear to have included handbrake adjustment!
-
The thing is though - and I freely admit I don't understand how the economy works - if I was a bank, the reduced interest rates would make me even more nervous about lending. Mr X might be able to pay a mortgage with a record low 1% interest rate, but he's going to get one hell of a shock when it returns to the 4 or 5% which is more normal. What's the point of lending to new people when the repayments are so abnormally low? It just makes people think they can afford more than they really can (e.g. Oooh - we can get a mortgage AND still afford a new car!).
-
OK - I couldn't resist. And I wanted to give them a little hook as well (although my name might make them realise I'm onto them) : Dear Mr. Anderson, I got an email from Mrs. Demi Montend today saying I won 1,000,000.00 Euros and I should email you! This is really good news because I was made redundant 2 weeks ago. I was there a long time so I got nearly £20,000 but that wouldn't last long with my mortgage and stuff. By the way - how many pounds is 1,000,000 Euros? Can I change the Euros to pounds in a bank? How do I get paid the money? Looking forward to your answer, A. Skamma

I tend to lose track of where I've been, but I'm pretty sure I've been to Brussels. Isn't there a big open square there?
-
I think the implications of the banks collapsing would be very great. I do agree that the bank bosses should not be awarding themselves huge bonuses though. However - I also think the fact that they are can't be blamed on the PM when he's made exactly the same point himself.
-
Well, a million Euros really but given the exchange rate I'd say that works out pretty well. My email address was randomly selected for a sweepstake in Brussels blah blah blah..... I've been given a Belgium phone number and an email address to contact. I think I might play dumb and send them an email, purely for the amusement factor. I might even let it build up to a phone call.
-
Tell me - when you get a puncture, do you consider you own a three wheeler?
-
It's quite clearly not.
-
Regardless of whether people think the PM does a good job or is the sole cause of the global economic crisis, it's a bit shocking that insults about a disability are met with a "Hurrah, JC is a man of the people" by some of the people on this thread. My opinion of this forum drops further every day.
-
Of course it's not. The Supra's are not the only cars in the world you know. Buyers determine the price, because if sellers price the cars too high, buyers will simply buy something else.
-
The reason why was pointed out in the beginning of the thread - it's all about supply and demand. When I bought my first TT Supra (10 or 11 years ago) there were far fewer about. I was very lucky, and got a good one for £20k but that was below the minimum at the time - prices started at about £23k and went up from there. TTs are not worse now - but there are far too many Supras about - NA and TT. I can't remember the last time I saw an NSX. I saw another supra yesterday.

Andrea seemed promising at the start, but then she blew it. Scary.

Well someone had to post a thread about it.. (SNOW)

I wish it would all just melt. I have to take some speakers back that I had on home demo, for which I left a sizeable deposit on my credit card. I realised this morning that my card statement is issued on the 5th, so if I don't get them back soon they will appear on the bill. I'm not sure what will happen when the deposit is refunded after the bill has been issued. Will they take the amount on the statement, or will they reduce it by the refund? I'd rather not find out. Stupid snow. -

Almost all of the underground goes overground at some point. Very few lines (Victoria only?) are 100% underground. -

You get quite a lot of attention on here too - it's not always a good thing. -
Halifax have a Guaranteed Saver account - instant access, with up to 4 withdrawals in a year (you can take more, but interest rate plummets). Currently at 2% but 3% if you have a current account with them. And their high interest current account is currently 2.5% which is more than some banks (including mine) are giving on their savings accounts.
