People are not so good at planning for the future unfortunately.

Even if there was a back up in this case, I have no doubt the other person would have destroyed that as well.  It seemed very pre-meditated.

Ford and Ebay seller............FFS.

 

Ford whilst away on holidays my windscreen washer stopped working. No problem I knew it was replaced last year around this time.

So yesterday I went into ford asked if they can check when they job was carried out. After 15min they had no recorded because they are under new owners. WOW surprises surprises. He tell me to go up the road to VW the old owners are up there. Fine walked up and yes they have all the details and when all the work was completed. SWEET!! 

It was in my favour because the work was done at the start of April.

I walk back to Ford show him the print out of the job sheet. He looks at me and says all good 2min past he stops and says how many Km's have I done. I don't know I'll need to have a look. He then tells me if I've done more than 20,000km it's not under warranty because I've done more than 20,000km in 12 months. WTF!!

I go back to the car have a look, take a photo and show him. I did around 2000 more. Sorry not covered. I said It's a windscreen washer. Anything to get out of it..........F*#K OFF!!

 

Ebay - A few weeks ago I bought some Club Poles for my sons soccer team. As I'm coach we would need them and the club will not get them.

So I order what I though is 10 poles. Package arrived whilst I was away and yesterday I opened it and only 1 pole came out..........FFS!!

An email was sent waiting on a reply from the sender. Lucky we buy everything through PayPal.

Training starts today.

Warranty is 12 months or 20000ks.  Pretty simple

Was given a laptop to attempt to recover precious family photos from.  I agreed to do it for free as it was a bad breakup at some point between the parents, laptop was passworded by the other half before they left.
I had hoped to find it with just a usual Windows account password in place (can be blanked easily and good to go).  Unfortunately there a BIOS password set (hard/impossible to remove these days in my experience).  A password that prevents even booting the laptop at all.

Removed internal HDD, hooked up to PC - drive has no partition on it at all, requires initialisation.  Basically like a brand new drive would.  So either it's a brand new HDD that was swapped out (one of two screws was missing from the HDD bay, evidence of prior removal), or it was intentionally deleted in a more serious way.

There are tools that claim to recover data like this but in this case I have had to recommend the person goes straight to a data recovery specialist ($) as said software can easily make it worse or even impossible to recover the info.

If it was just some holiday snaps I'd give it a go, but here's the worst part...the photos are of a deceased child.

What a total dog act.

What a fu cken c unt act!

Windscreen washer is a water pump though, so I can understand the standard Ford deal of 12months/20,000km.  It's kind of sht though that the same part that shipped new on the car with a 3 year warranty only has 12 months and 20,000km as a replacement...I've bought many bits and bobs myself over the years.

guys selling off tits bf with 550hp at wheels and said 'paint is starting to show some age in certain areas, but that is to be expected on a ten year old car'

None of the other BF's I looked at needed a FULL respray including re-repairing the panels he had painted by some mob because they were so badly done.

youd never suspect all that horsepower with the paintjob the car was rocking! precision 6235 turbo too!

^ wouldn't a PT6235 and supporting mods be almost on par, price wise, with a half decent full respray?

 

Also, WPMO: First day back at work after holidays and I'm greeted with an email detailing that there's currently no water at camp, but it should be sorted within a couple of hours...cool. So of course, in my infinite wisdom, I decide to go run around and play squash for a couple of hours in the meanwhile. Get back to camp, hanging for a shower...still no water. f*ck.

neeeded a fulllllllll respray.

apparantly guy got stickered and instead of doing what phil was talking about doing to his f6 ute (return to stock, run over pits, etc) he chose to get the thing fully engineered?!?!

the boot alone was quoted $1000 to fix the rust. my panelbeater mate said $8k due to all the prep required (even the panels the guy had repaired, need re-repairing) and the rust is extreme.

pisses me off like seeing my old BA which I crashed, STILL ROCKING THE SAME CRASH DAMAGE but the new owner fitted brembo brakes and big wheels to it.

Some people just don't care about their cars hey.

 

Still no water at camp apparently...lame. Also WPMO: trying to decide if I go with Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge...extra battery life and screen real estate of the Edge appeals, but worried it might be a bit too big to be comfortable using one-handed (I don't exactly have large hands) and how big it'll be in pockets etc. Hmmmm...
