Rowlly21 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Carphonewarehouse have declined my phone contract order because I have 0 credit score. The reason I have 0 credit score is because I have never needed to take out a loan or use a credit card ! This just takes the piss. I clearly have a good enough income etc to afford a bloody phone contract !!!!!! Surely something like a phone contract is a good place to start a credit score well not according to them What's the best way to rake up a good credit score ?

Rowlly21 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 How am I suppose to get a mortgage if they won't let me have a phone contract lol. Or do you not need good credit history for a mortgage ? P.s I am only 18 so I don't really want to buy a house just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) I aren't so hairy Today I am getting pretty tired of people with zero negotiation skill trying to buy (or not) my GoPros, most want $50 off everything despite me saying in the advert the price is the price, and as soon as you come down a little and/or offer a slightly different package they're not at all interested. That and people texting me all day (starts at around 6:30am and goes on as late as 1am some days) asking if the item is still available, I tell them yes, I never hear from them again... But the star prize today goes to a guy who wants to pay $20 for a $35 car headunit, and having met in the middle now wants me to deliver it Not sure he was expecting the response he got... Not a lot when you put it in English money but it's the difference between 2 or 4 beers! In brighter news since highlighting that I'm not interested in swapping these items, I've not really had any clowns offering me $100 worth of out of date phone/games console for my $400 cameras "swap 4 a Galaxy S2 worth $500 m8?" "No, but you could sell your $100 phone for $500 and then you can afford to buy the GoPro!" I hate people.

Ross McArthur Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 I was in a phone fixing shop the other day and one guy came in to collect his repairs. He said to the guy, "I don't have any money, so you can just keep one of the two phones as payment". Stolen much? The problem with alcohol is that most people drink to get drunk rather than drinking to enjoy it. How else do you enjoy it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowlly21 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Had to put it in my fathers name but I am paying direct debit. Hopefully build up some credit history and transfer into my name. If this is the hassle I get for a phone I dread to think what a mortgage is going to be like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 My bearded dragon was put down today. She got dissected afterwards because the vet was puzzled by her condition. I agreed to this without much thought but didn't consider that I wouldn't be able to bury her. In situations like these I start thinking very logically and completely switch off my emotions. The thing that hurts most of all now is that I didn't get any closure as a result. Didn't say goodbye, just left here there. She was with me for 10 years. Can't bury her so going to plant a tree instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Always sad when you lose a pet For a few weeks now my solomon island tree boa (candoia bibroni australis) has been out of character, listless, lacking muscle tone and generally not moving much when he is normally a very active (at night) tree snake. He is undoubtably pretty old, I have had him for 5 years, the previous owner for 4+ and prior to that he had been captured from the wild as an adult and kept for serveral years - could well be 20+ years old. A couple of weeks ago he regurgetated his mouse (first for him) so I left him be as it knocks them for six at the best of times. He hadn't appeared to move in his tank for at least 4 days so I lifted him out, he didn't respond (no grip or moving/looking around/tongue flicking, also no visible breathing) so I found a suitable cardboard box so I could bury him in the garden. Just as I was about to take him out he flicked his tongue ever so slightly so back into a plastic box he went with fresh newspaper, bowl of water and put on a heatmat for observation. He's been like this for two weeks now and not moved at all, each time I lift the lid he breathes very, very slowly - it's almost imperceptable. Checked him tonight to give the box a mist with water to keep the humidity up (he's from the south pacific islands) and he's moved completely, turned round and head pointing the other way! Gave him a thorough dousing and he starts drinking from the water settling round his head - this is the most he has moved since going into the box so certainly progress Left him with his head in a jam jar lid of water and zocal-D and perhaps he might pick up again When I got him Edited June 30, 2015 by forteh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have a deep-seated hatred for (most) 'developers', of the programming rather than property variety. Most of them spend so much time getting things to look pretty they completely ignore anything that might actually help a site work in terms of being seen or make sales. I've been fighting with one in particular for 4/5 months now to remove one line of code which is f**king up a lot of what I'm doing, just because they won't let me do it myself. Prima donna so-and-sos. You're not that special, you're a dying breed (in the traditional sense). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
