Bad beat/Moan/Venting Thread - BBV Archive 1

I must have a rewatch !

BBV Q time.

Who is the mechanic here again ?

Wife had her car in for service a few days ago, ripped off if you ask me but they also told her of things that needed to be done, and she told them hold off, they were kind enough to supply a list:

2x no.plate bulbs €30
PSF fog bulb €30...the 60 includes focus lights, now how one would focus a no plate or fog light is beyond me, if its the headlights they are on about, that should have been included in the service, but i digress.

The killer is both front and rear disks and pads need to be done soon, still legal but recomended, 220 for front and 200 for rear, along with 2 front brake hoses for front @ €160. I priced these up myself and disks and pads come in about £100 front and back and hoses, pack of 4 come in at £50, delivered, less than €200. Thats a pretty whopping saving of €400.

Now, the question, I am handy enough but have never changed brake related stuff, looked at some tutorials on youtube and it aint rocket science, would people reccomend diy brake work ?

Edit: life insurence is all up to date !

Holy christ garge people still do this to people, there is no way i would ever go back to that place, 15 euro for a light blub lol, if you get all the parts just call around one of those mobile servicing mechanics, they will pull up to your house fix everything and charge you alot less due to not having to spend any money on spare parts!

i thanked this post with out seeing it because so many pusses, thanked it to show them the way

not a chance though.
Publicans, Church, Joe Duffy Fanbase and to a lesser extent the guards wouldnt allow this to happen.
It'd be gas though.
FF know they are on their way out, gift the country this, with increased revenue it'd bring in, they be back in next twist no bother

You have to be quick around these parts!!! I'm always paro when I post clips like this. They've usually been posted before. Even though this clip is a day old.

[cardshark202]

Yea, its the people that Q up behind "others" that are strange. And of course on AerLingus where you have an assigned seat that option makes no sense whatsoever and people still happily q away.

Yeah it's almost tilting watching them queue up for no reason. Or when they call like seats 10 - 40 and everyone just tries to board.

[Jackyback]

Seen a few of the lads posting about Fifa 11 over the last couple of days, if any of you have it for the xbox add me for a couple of games, tylerdurden944

Just got my copy there a few minutes ago

Any good or should i just stick to my 2010 version, i must try get a game going later although my xbox live connection has been shitty the last while.

I finally understand the reason for playing that game, Thank you!

we got it yesterday and its pretty class (although the made a balls of penos)

Might just get a copy and be done with it. If there was a couple on here (xbox) we should setup a league for the craic, $20/$50 bucks a head!!

Edit: lol at me playing fucking computer games at my age!!

Ya im usually one of the last on
Sometimes you can have a good laugh at the "im cool" student who wants to be last on

pretend to get up, they move, you sit back down and watch them walk towards the plane

The ones that make me laugh are the ones who jump up to get off as soon as the plane lands

Im almost always in an Aisle seat
Im always getting awful dirty looks for not moving while everyone else jumps around like monkeys

after about 30 secs, I point at the non moving crush, smile and say where you going

person beside me usually goes something along the lines of "er um ahh ya", gives one of and sits down with one of these on their face

I then give it the power walk to the belt and get their before most of them just to annoy them
When I get to the belt I pull up a chair and wait to see my bag while the rest stare into the bag hole (heathrow is great for that, row of seats right beside the belt )

tl;dr
Failing species, dying planet

Techy question.

My Lapper took a nose dive from about 3 ft onto a hard wood floor.
Since then it starts up and works fine but then freezes after about 20 mins.
The only way of restarting it is to hold down the power button.
I'm thinking it's a hard drive problem.

Anyone get this before, any nice solutions???


cheers

Maybe a cooling problem, maybe the fan on the CPU has been jammed or broken so processor overheats and it cuts out.
Does it last the full 20 minutes when you restart or less?

More than likely you've snapped a connection in the power unit.
a friend who can solder and knows his way around a motherboard could sort it.

I will always priority board with ryanair if travelling with the gf.

I have a strange one coming up i must say. Do i pay BA €25 each to make sure me and GF get to sit beside each other on the flight to Toronto or do i check in 24 hours prior online and hope there is seats left beside each other.

They actually charge you €35 for the double seats.

Lottie trying to organise the first votes reminded me of the time I took my niece and 7 of her mates bowling, and tried in vain to get them to form an orderly line for getting their bowling shoes.

Would be hugely surprising if they didn't have two seats beside each other. As you'll be checked in from Dublin several hours before checkin opens in LHR its even more likely that you'll be grand.

[ianmc38]

I personally never bother queuing.
The plane isnt going without you.
People who queue or worry about leg room on a short flight as as bad
as people who clap when the plane lands

Normally you can manage your booking online and book your seats. Check their website and see.

Any good or should i just stick to my 2010 version, i must try get a game going later although my xbox live connection has been shitty the last while.

Ive only played a couple of games so far and im liking but that can all changed when the fifa rage kicks in.

Might just get a copy and be done with it. If there was a couple on here (xbox) we should setup a league for the craic, $20/$50 bucks a head!!

Edit: lol at me playing fucking computer games at my age!!

Maybe rent it and give it a shot if your worried about it?

Not a bad idea about getting a little league set up.

Hey man was wondering what happened to you over the weekend, just seen you on the Friday and then you were nowhere to be seen, did you shot home early?

If I'm ever in a plane and the engines blow sending us to certain doom I'm going to clap. I may even bring an A5 print out of the El Tren icon to hold up for it every time I fly.

Hmm that gives me an idea, deaf people should replace their silly sign language with an A5 pad consisting purely of emoticons.

ground control, ground control, a red light is flashing in the cockpit, we have another situation at the jackpot, let me know where we can land this baby. .

What annoys me even more is paying over €100 quid for a flight to the UK! I'm on Ryanair about 30-40 times a year myself if you include both legs, try dealing with drunken United droolers on the way back from matches

[tipp86]

Il have a look again but it seemed from what i looked at that i had to pay €25 for the honour.

I remember flying to San Fran with them and been able to pick seats through there electronic check in at heathrow but we were limited enough in what was left.

I guess checking in 24 hours prior should get me a decent seat.

To anyone who has a passing interest in UCD superleague team names I'm fairly sure this is the greatest one since "Spottinem Hotbirds", its "Murder on Zidane's Floor F.C".

I'm getting them for £25 return at the moment (including everything and using the prepaid Mastercard). Although that's flying over to Dub on a Thursday night and back on a Monday night, so off-peak times. £12.50 each way is some bargain!

Stop that dirty talk, off-peak times 12.5 each way, god your gettin me goin there HH, go on a little more!!please

Anyone playing the Fitz 50 DC chance tonight?

[Caf]

4 hours for a final table bubble and a payout profit of 5$ wtf. fook off

If that was the only game you played yesterday, then yes you made $5 profit! For me however it capped a lol shocking run bad day. Should be only ten paid imo with 108 runners but I guess we would be $33 down rather $5 up from it!

Good exit hand for me eh? LOL

My internet went down just after I got knocked out and when I got back in I saw you were next out. Ul gg. Crazy games those double stacks, gotta love em!

[Denny Crane]

Ticket for Ryanair last night had Priority Q written on it, presumably by accident as definitely didn't pay for for that. So nice getting on the plane first without queuing, but obv wouldn't pay for it. I'm thinking you could easily photoshop 'Priority Q' and erase the 'Other Q' part from the ticket you print out. Because they are always in such a rush they wouldn't notice. Trying to work out if that's a bit too risky!

lol @ anyone that queues for a flight imo

[Zod]

To anyone who has a passing interest in UCD superleague team names I'm fairly sure this is the greatest one since "Spottinem Hotbirds", its "Murder on Zidane's Floor F.C".

my favourite team names are Accrington Stanley Baldes and Fritzl Palace.
