I don't think I've been referred to as entertaining before! Just checked my previous forum as I thought I was close to that on post count...apparently not, turns out I have over 18,000 posts over there, and haven't posted anything for the last 3 years! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 My Don't Like for today is forum issues...anyone else getting them? It wouldn't let me choose anything other than 'like'. And every time I click quote, or like, or the reply box it just refreshes the page? Happened the other day as well so I don't know if it's just me or everyone getting it? 10 minutes later it's all back to normal again!

Nice profile pic I'm also a member on another forum (Ford one) thats bigger and more active than this one, but I hardly ever post on there (only 85 posts on there, joined 2011, last post in 2013 lol) If I were to dig up every forum I've ever posted on since I was a kid, I bet I'd die from my own embarrassment 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on a couple of VW related forums for info on the Mrs's car. Nothing I've been on comes close to here though, for advice/info on a range of issues including double glazing, door locks, shower mechanisms, and the occasional car related query. Great banter too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never on any as a kid though, didn't even know there were any suitable for kids? Although saying that, using Ask Jeeves for homework on dial up was about as much internet action as I had at the time. I was told that my parents could see everything I searched for online and that the family computer was not to be used for anything other than homework...I was scared to search for anything in all honesty, I didn't even know about pawn at the time!! I'm not on any other forums now, I couldn't find one specifically for the Mk6 Golf so joined a Facebook group for it instead. I rarely look over there tbh but I must admit it has been helpful when I've needed to ask questions 2 or 3 times in the last 18 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimST2 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I don't like Christmas cards. I don't like sending them (the time it takes to write them all), and I don't like receiving them (every flat surface in the house gets covered and you can't put anything down). Mrs. TimST2 says we have to though 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Generally dislike Christmas in all regards.I tend to work every christmas and new year so don't tend to get much enjoyment out of the whole season.Wife works it too so we tend to skip most of it.May indulge with a couple of glasses of port and a decent cigar when time allows.We'll be looking at a roast turkey dinner some time mid January but that's about it tbh.Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Must admit that all the extra wages for doing the public holidays are nice.Other thing I tend to do is try to get as many guys with young families off on leave over the holidays so I don't mind pulling my fair share of extra duties to facilitate that.

Clever he has taken parental leave the week before Christmas and returning second week of January, using his annual Christmas bonus to pay for the time off and ultimately saving the work holidays which were allocated for Christmas which he will then use in the summer Clever idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bloodaxe Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I used to let folks with young families have first pick in the Xmas holiday season. They were quite grateful and it suited me fine, so a rare example of a "win-win". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 11 hours ago, Turvey said: Mmm 🤔 not sure, maybe it's different north of the border? Yep, looks like it! In England we pay in 3 bands - band 1 (checkup) £22.70, band 2 (fillings etc) £62.10, band 3 (horrific stuff) £269.30. In Scotland apparently the check up is free then you pay a percentage of the treatment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Some of you may remember my Don't Like a few months ago about all the local German car shows stopping next year, although one was switching to 'all makes' instead. Well now that one won't be going ahead either, the club that runs it are stopping due to their age & family commitments etc. Which is fair enough and I understand why they've done it, but for me it does take away the last achievable aim I had for summer 2020. For a mad 5 minutes last night I thought about asking to take over the show organisation seeing as I don't have any commitments and lots of spare time... I can't organise a party in a brewery let alone an entire car show! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
