Leakeyvale Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 My [expletiive deleted] ex- web host. First no emails to tell me my domain is expiring, second I cannot navigate around their website as it keeps coming back to the same page, thirdly no response to my emails. Now changing web hosts and trying to get my domain back! At least Nominet website works so have managed to change registrar to the new one (at a price). Fingers crossed that my domain will remain MINE even though the registration has expired. At least Nominet are telling me it is still mine although not renewed. Can everyone please hold their breath for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenside MF Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 spurs losing,well not losing,getting stuffed by chelsea 5-1 in the fa cup semi finals should have been 4-1 though as the ball was no where near to crossing the line for chelsea's second goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) How did this mess finish? ? Really nice person, who was very understanding - so simply cancelled the transaction (Thanks for asking) What annoyed me... an eBay Buyer sending me an unpleasant message because I'd blocked him from buying from me (I can't remember why, as it was a while ago, but the with the tone of his message I'm glad I did) Edited April 16, 2012 by Lady Ferguson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never, ever found you anything other than the most helpful, accommodating person both through your website dealings and in person. So there!

Leakeyvale Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Glad that worked out for Mandy...and what website do you have Aunty Sue??? The one I "lost" is a family history site and my own domain. It started as five pages and before it was not too old it had accumulated dozens more and photos too as emails came winging in from all over the world (site now contains around 400 files). I even managed to put cousins in touch with each other who have discovered they live less than an hour apart in Brisbane and never knew it! Haven't updated it in a long time and it needs it but it gets and extraordinary number of hits (from the genealogy researchers in the main). It will again once Google drops the now redundant site (or rather when my previous host deletes it!) The family (one side of it only) has been traced back to the 1500s http://www.sleake.co.uk/RebbeckHistory/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, worse still, people who pick up their doggy doings in a pooh bag and then leave the bag in the hedge! What IS the point...

What IS the point... Grrrrrrrrrrrrr And mine - it is somehow worse than those who don't pick up at all! At least the rain can wash it away but a plastic bag hanging on a hedge is never going anywhere (unless someone removes it). I get really ANGRY with irresponsible dog owners - they give dogs a bad name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Finding out that my hot water cylinder has a leak, symptoms revealed by part of my bathroom ceiling collapsing into a mush in the shower tray, It is at the moment (touch wood) only a very slight leak but ringing around the various local stores/suppliers was told that they no longer have them 'off the shelf' you have to order one and they have to be made, this they told me would take 10 to 14 days, something to do with new 'regulations'. I'm having one made from stainless steel as the water here is fairly acid and eats copper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) At least the ceiling fell into the shower tray, Tim. Mine would fall into my dining room as the cylinder is in the room above! Hmm no, come to think about it when we moved in there was a stain on the kitchen ceiling where the tenant (who nearly wrecked the place apparently) failed to report a leaking hot water cylinder! So I suspect it would be the kitchen ceiling that would collapse rather than the dining room. I am getting fed up with people making excuses by saying "new regulations" or "it is the law" when there is no law at all.. One local electrical supplier said they could not disconnect an old dishwasher before installing a new one because it might be badly wired and give their man a shock and told me "IT IS THE LAW". Rubbish! Tried another supplier and it was "of course we will". They switched off the power and pulled the plug before hauling it out to undo the hoses.

powerrabbit Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Couldn't agree more Sue, all these rules and regulations, designed I'm sure to make us pay over the odds requiring us all to have things done by 'professional trades' when in fact there is no need, what's happened to 'self help' and 'do it yourself', I agree that certain jobs need to be carried out by the trade like gas and electricity for safetey purposes but when it comes to things that the normaly reasonably competent person can do themselves we're told we can't because of 'regulations' and most of these so-called professionals are cowboys themselves and unless you stand over them whilst they are doing a job you don't know wheather it's done properly or no. The insurance Companies this year have added to their domestic house insurance policies loads of 'must do' items, inspection of electrical wiring every 10 years, sweep your chimneys a minimum of once a year, gas inspection as well, all which you have to have a certificate to prove it's been done and now you have to have a smoke detector in each room and one in your roofspace, 2 fire extinguishers and if your roof is thatched it has to be fireproofed and certified as well. You are prevented from helping yourself nowadays and paying lots of money for these 'services' which over charge because they know that you have to have these things done. Most annoying.

CMB Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I got mugged on Amazon for £40 and found out that I'm one day too late to file a claim (stupidly I sat on it vainly hoping my item would arrive). At least I've learnt to always read feedback before hitting "buy", even on Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
