Almost bound to be the element has failed. Spares are readily available and it's quite easy to replace them. £20 to £30 for the part.

I've had to do our fan oven several times even though it's built in it's only retained by a few wood screws. Then it can be pulled forwards to access the electrical connections at the back.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This is what gets my goat.

To most fans, a wrestling show is a wrestling show and most of the time the kids don't mind but when you're involved with the business and certain things happen, such as some tin-pot promotion puts on a bad show with poorly trained workers and thereby kills the town so that no other promotion can run there for years, it's extremely frustrating.

I'm of the belief that pro-wrestlers need to look larger than life and somewhat intimidating so that the crowd will think that although it's all a show, maybe it's not a good idea to annoy the bad guy too much *just in case*.

So when I see a poster like the one below it really gets on my nerves. Skinny teenagers do not look intimidating. If I was a betting man I'd put a tenner on none of them being safe and properly trained workers. Wearing sunglasses indoors does not make you look 'cool' unless you're The Rock (and they aren't). And Lord alone knows what sort of impression they're making on parents with the kid in red at the front who looks like he should be doing that in private (check his left arm).

Seriously this sort of rubbish is killing the industry.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not good news about your dinner, Hope your Mum improves,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oh dear god.

Aside from the fact that as you say, most of these guys look about as intimidating as the local group of teenagers hanging round the bus station, that poster is probably one of the worst production wise I have ever seen.

What was it made in, Paint?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Get me out of here :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

skinny blokes playing darts don't they know its a fat blokes sport , a dart player should be intimidating well ard and able to down 40 pints a day ,wearing a darts shirt does not make skinny blokes look cool unless they are Phil the power Taylor which they are not cos they aint fat enough ,lard knows what kind of impression they have on parents its killing the sport i tell you .

A friend posted a comment on the Marilyn Manson 2015 US Tour page.

She posted this comment: London please Thanks!!!

Some comment this.

IDIOT1: London is UK you BUMjab

Friend: erm....yes i am aware........i am just stating i would like him to come to London. no need to be ****ing rude to me on my own status...THANKS!!!!!

IDIOT1: It's a US tour you BUM pouch

Friend: I DO KNOW THIS....I CAN READ....

IDIOT1: So why do you think they'd play London on a U.S. tour?

Friend: I am stating that i would like for him to come to the UK and do a LONDON gig AFTER he has done his US TOUR....

Friend: Are you so thick as POO not to understand that is what i was trying to say in the first place??? No because you think you are so MR BIG MAN and wanted to try your new insults....GROW THE HELL UP

IDIOT1: Well then you worded it wrong. You should have said 'hopefully he plays London after he does his U.S. Tour............

Friend: I didn't word anything wrong. If you really knew me, then you would know that is how I would speak normally...

UK1: When she says the word "Please" she's requesting that Marilyn comes to London, she hasn't worded anything wrong, don't be an illiterate dickface.

Me: She like me is speaking the "Queens English" and in both being English know how to speak it, do the MATHS.

Note I said MATHS and NOT the wrong word you use called MATH.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Vet bills. Pet insurance costs. 300 quid + to get my little kittlin's teggies pulled. 45 quid for an antibiotic injection alone. Ouch.....

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ouch indeed. We're suffering bill collision too: Gas, lecky, AA, car insurance, BT, virgin, council tax.... It just goes on and on.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Patient transport.... Who seem to have forgotten I switched to a wheelchair and are trying to pick me up in a car instead of an ambulance. This is all to do with the new "Epic" computer system at addenbrooks.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes the bills certainly seem to be rolling through our letterbox lately as well.:(

---------- Post added at 18:08 ---------- Previous post was at 18:07 ----------

Yes my partner is arranging my transport later this week for London and one suspects it will not run smoothly as usual.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No bill collision here. I don't HAVE pet insurance as it costs a bomb, so only the one bill - of 300 quid +.
:(

---------- Post added at 10:29 ---------- Previous post was at 10:23 ----------

I would find a group of teenagers hanging around a bus station far more intimidating than this bunch of skinny articles. Paint would have produced a much better poster, this looks like it was literally cut and paste. With a pair of scissors and some glue, and they're encouraging people to SHARE it?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The company I work for is so crap, I'm sure they would expect you to personally phone in every 2 day when sick, even if you were in hospital in a coma.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So they couldn't sort it out for yesterday - and rebooked it for this morning on an ambulance.

They have just phoned to tell me there's been a 'mix up' and don't know if they can come today or not.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nothing surprises me dilli with patient transport now sadly and l do hope they turn up to to take you to hospital today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Paperwork!

Got to get the company accounts in order today so the accountant can get the return done. Trawling through piles of paper to get each months invoices and payments in order. Should have done it ages ago.

Trying to find an invoice in March 2013 for printed circuit boards. Seems to have vanished. :mad: Got the bill but no supporting paper. It'll be here - somewhere.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What a bunch of muppets. I hope things have now been sorted and you are on your way to your appointment.

I feel your pain heero. Our business seemed to generate mounds of paper and in the end I got 12 pastic wallets and used to 'file' each item away as soon as it landed. At least everything was seperated out into months and by always tucking things into the front of the folder it was almost in date order aswell. My bugbear was petrol receipts, the guys would hoard them and by the time I got them the printing would be almost unreadable so reconciling them to the garage petrol schedules was hopeless.

My moan today is waiting for results. I know things take time but it doesn't help reduce the stress.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's what I normally do but I haven't done it recently hence piles of paper. I should know better but it seemed low priority at the time and I just didn't feel like doing it.

:hugs:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l hope you get your results soon jo and l just hope and pray that everybody is fine for you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

A good valid moan though, nothing worse than waiting for results and fingers crossed that they are good results.

On the same subject just had my results backs and I need an op. I knew this anyway so no big thing, but if I have the op I run the risk of knocking my knackered kidneys totally out as told by the surgeon and the consultant.

So do I risk the op where they can't give me a guarantee that A- it'll work or make anything better. B- Fail and end up on dialysis. C- It works, but knocks out my kidneys anyway. D- It works and kidneys aren't affected. E- It works but a high chance it will return quite quickly and have to run the risks again with only years left of working kidneys anyway.

To add to this if my kidneys fail and the condition I'm in (or if I do nothing) it probably will be end game. If it works then I could have a better chance when they do fail.

Quite a dilemma...... :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Dear Peanut l thought l was quite badly off but compared to your l am very lucky indeed and l just hope and pray that everything works out well for you in the future health wise as you seem to have gone through so much already.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

For once, I have no moans. Good luck to those waiting for results, deciding on whether to have operations and getting things in shape for the tax grabbers.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What a dilemma indeed peanut. <<hugs>>

My husband is facing a similar scenario, his results are already in and if he opts for the radical solution he will be cancer free but the odds of not having any of the known side effects of the operation are slim to none, so promises a longer life but with far less quality than he has now. Or does he go for the safer option with a risk of the cancer killing him within 5/10 years any way.

Anyone have a crystal ball they could lend us?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks (all the above).

To be honest I'm hoping for option F which is leave me alone (hospitals and doctors) but hope something happens that makes the decision for me (kind of heading that way, I just hope it's sooner rather than later). As I know whatever option I go for will most probably be the wrong one knowing my luck.

On the plus side 5-8 years tops now is a better outcome than were I was last year. Though the reality has kicked in a whole lot more now, so been in limbo for a while and I don't expect it to get any better.

I can only know what you're going through Jo through my own wife's eyes. I might be flippant with my comments about how things are but I just daren't go there yet to how things will end up later and how it affects everyone else around me. I'm hitting a brick wall now (mentally not physically) .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sometimes it is difficult to work out why life seems to knock the good & kind people in the world.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hate the new tactic of websites and such sending you emails saying they're 'sorry' for something. 'sorry' for an earlier email they sent earlier with the wrong info.

'sorry' for something that never actually happened.

and they say to make it up to you they're giving you 10% off your next order!

PEE OFF! you morons!
do I look stupid or what?!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You want us to give you the answer? :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes please.
it'll put my mind at rest :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope you get good results!

I did indeed get in to hospital in the end.

---------- Post added at 15:05 ---------- Previous post was at 15:03 ----------

I hope you can get a good outcome :tu:

I'm having my next Kinsey clinic next week (which is nice as it makes a change from foot clinic :) )

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Idiot cyclists: I'm walking back from Lidl this morning with two heavy carrier bags and a brolly along a narrow footpath, cycling banned, that has a knobbly flint wall one side and shrubbery the other when this loony on a push bike come hurtling at me shouting to "Get the F out of the way". No chance so I braced hard for impact. Got him with my shoulder.;) He went out of control for another fifty odd yards and then collided with the wall hard and collapsed in a heap.

Ha, ha, ha.

I didn't bother to find out if the moron was hurt. I do hope so.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Excellent! i want part 2 though! haha

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i do hope your shopping was not damaged :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Safe and sound. :) I think the weight of the heavy bag helped make my shoulder into the immovable object.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Good for you heero :)

It wasn't this guy was it? ;)

Good for you anyway mate - not content with being irresponsible on the roads, some cyclists seem intent doing likewise on our pavements.

Best of luck to all here who're awaiting medical test results, treatment etc. :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

fan-tas-tic.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm a cyclist and these morons give us all a bad rep. Hope the t**t broke something....like his neck.

I was walking home from Aldi the other day, a teenager came at me on the pavement on his BMX, had no choice but to move, as he was staring at his mobile phone so didn't see me until the last second, when he just had enough time to give me a filthy look for being in his way.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I get that with pedestrians paying attention to nothing but a mobile phone, ignoring the fact that everyone they're following is on the other side of the pavement. My approach is to do an impression of a lamppost, stationary and solid. The look on their face as they suddenly realise that they're about to collide... :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Relative who does bowel cancer screening every 2 years got an abnormal result back this morning. Got an appointment next Monday morning to see a specialist and decide on whether to get a colonoscopy done or not. She's 74, so if it is cancer could be aggressive.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well I got the new's I've been dreading, been told that it's unlikely I will be returning to work any time soon :(

My brother In-laws, sisters. father In-law, wasn't feeling well.

He has been told he has lung cancer which has spread to his spine and there is SFA they can do, and they've given him 2 months :(

I only met him and his wife once when they came down from Scotland to a New Years Eve party that a family friend was throwing and said the more the merrier.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

So sorry to hear your news weenie. <<hugs>>

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I understand if you don't want to go into detail about your results, weenie, but I just wanted to say that I had a bad diagnosis from a colonoscopy & CT scan earlier this year & if I can help in any way please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and l just hope and pray that you get better soon weenie.:hugs:

Dodgy batch of Shell V-Power from my local garage (if it was actually blimmin V-Power coming out of the pump) resulting in my motor being on the dyno most of this morning.

Tried a new MAF sensor, new actuator which didn't work. Draining the tank and reset of the ECU did.

My moan is not the fact that I have been sent on a course by the Jobcentre because I am actually enjoying it. No, it is more the fact that the chairs we sit in are so bum numbing that we have to keep getting up every so often to get feeling back into our legs.

Arrogant, selfish and self centered people (person). I now know where the saying comes from they are their own worst enemy.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Is this about your next door neighbour and those trees or has it been sorted out in your favour now?

Yes and no. The stage we have now reached will now go into next May/June.

Well to be fair transport does usually turn up here nowadays - just sometimes they don't bring something they can fit a wheelchair in ;)

I just hope you haven't got to wait hours to head back!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes it would be nice if we can get back in a reasonable time as once we never got back till near on one in the morning once due to the transport being delayed in London and then the dropping off of other patients who live on those roads to nowhere.

How high is your Creatinine level dilli as they certainly don't like that going upwards.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Some old biddy in Lidl's this morning complaining merry hell that they'd reduced the free parking to 60 minutes and she'd got fined twice for leaving her car there and going into the town shopping. Didn't seem to dawn on her that she was in effect stealing that space from other shoppers to the store.

Stupid, greedy old bat. :mad:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i didn't ask the level they told me it was higher than last time and are having me in for a couple of days next week for some more tests.

Still at least it'll be a night out and all that :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You are lucky Dilli as when my Creatinine levels were high they kept me up London for 10 days and no matter how hard l try to convince them otherwise they would not let me home.:bigcry:

Moorfields may be good. But they can't help me any more so I'd much rather stick in one hospital where I can get all my stuff done in one place.

The cost of parking!

Spent 5hrs 3mins in a Cambridge carpark and was expecting a bill of £8 or something, but when i put the ticket in the machine it said £24 i was so shocked i thought it was a mistake!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ouch!

Now our council has wrested control from the car hating Libdems the carparks are a £1 an hour.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

This is what Cambridge has for the Grafton Shopping Centre, Mon -Fri and Sat!

Up to 1 hour £2.00 £2.20
Up to 2 hours £3.60 £4.30
Up to 3 hours £5.50 £6.10
Up to 4 hours £9.10 £10.40
Up to 5 hours £16.50£17.50
Over 5 hours £24 £24

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's a utter rip off.:td:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Next they'll be complaining that the town centre is dying. :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

These Town Centres need to wise up pretty quickly that the cheaper their car parking charges are the more people they will attract into them to spend money.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well i wont be parking again for more than 3hrs that is for sure!

A parking ticket for not paying is only £25 for gods sake if i was to pay it in less than 14 days as this would incur a 50% discount!

Windows. I set the updates to ask before downloading and installing, yet this afternoon whilst out the laptop decided to update to 8.1. Normally this would be good. However, the last 5 times I upgraded to 8.1 I have needed to install Windows from scratch. If this update botches it again, think I will just get a new laptop with 8.1 already installed on it.

Laptop is on last legs anyway.
