Which is why I said "BMW wanted". I remember the bad publicity and back tracking but then weeks later another car manufacturer introduced subscription for something that was already built into the car.

Like AMG monthly subscription to unlock the full performance of the engine even though owners of proper AMG spec Mercedes will have paid £££££'s more than a standard Mercedes. Or the subscription for heated seats BMW wanted.

I've convinced that's a deliberate move by car manufacturers to get more money out of us. There is so much tech in my CX-30 I'm just dreading things going wrong. I was quite happy with my 15 year old Mazda 3 but my mum said she hated me driving round in an old car and gave me the money from her...

PHEASANTS😠!!!!!. Driving along the A59 on Friday after dropping my daughter off at her friend's and as I was just a few feet away a pheasant tried to run across the road in front of me, no time to brake. Passed my test in 1989 and not had an accident in 30 years. The radar in my car has been...

😂😂😂😂 oomph. "Am I boring you?😠 "No sweetheart😳" Yes I speak from experience To quote that song from Madonna "I learned my lesson well" and "I lived to tell"🤣

I have been going to spec savers for over 20 years but the last few times I've been I've not been happy. The staff had changed all the old staff had gone and the eye test I had my last visit I just didnt think was thorough enough. It just felt like they wanted to get as many through possible in...

After a month I finally tried a different 3.5 mm cable, hey presto no hum. Still weired that I never got a hum using the old cable with my previous PC.

Well after numerous attempts to get the issue fixed, we ended up having to get the ombudsman involved. Up shot is three have released my son from his contract. He has gone with another network transferred his number and its amazing all the messages from three that arrived as soon as his number...

These annoying lugs that seem to be attached to the top of the lenses of my new glasses. Constantly in my vision. I walked out of the opticians on Saturday thinking I had a bit of cotton or a bug caught in the top of my glasses. These lugs weren't on the plain lenses when I picked these frames.

Yup🤣

I would like to nominate my local council - Pendle - for room 101, although by all accounts its not just my council that need to be in room 101 for this particular reason. So food waste collection was supposed to start 1st of April. On our street we still havent got our food waste bins although...

I'm on my second belkin surge protector for my main setup. About 10 years ago there must have been a surge. We saw a blue flash from the surge protector and the on off switch flew across the room. 🤣 All the hifi equipment fine. We have everything protected by surge protectors. I bet we have at...

I lent a CD to a work colleague at a job i had for 18months. Asked and asked before he left and asked his brother before I left but never got it back. I never found that CD in any shops again Madchester 40 Wicked Hits. I found similar but not the exact track listing. I found a Madchester Spotify...

My dad used to. He often used to tell the tale of lending an album to someone and when he asked for it back the denied having it (not lying just forgotten my dad had lent it to them). Any way months later my dad was at another friends and found the album he had lent to the first person, my dad...

If i couks afford it that's what I would be doing
