So how was Elsa able to read that message? Black magic? Radio waves? Smoke signals?

If they claim to be from country X a few simple questions about country X should quickly establish if they are genuine.]]> 27 Sat, 20 Sep 2025 05:13:36 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/room-101.20763/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/room-101.20763/ invalid@example.com (John Surrey) John Surrey
And I put the trainer bra (that my wife likes to buy for my daughter) on a hanger and thought to myself "it's a bit damp today I should really try and straighten out the foam pads so it dries properly...", for the uninitiated I'm talking about these things:

The trouble with them is, after it's been spun in the machine the foam inserts end up all over the place - often you'll get two in the same place...

Even here in the wilds of mid-Wales, I get absolute numpties doing crazy **** like ignoring red lights, overtaking on solid lines or round corners, and worst of all, emerging from junctions without looking.

I bought a dashcam last year, and I could make almost an hour of footage showing poor, if not potentially illegal examples of driving. I've had vans overtake me contravening keep left signs, I've had taxis...

Typical scenario. A job needs doing--typically by the man of the house. In this case, a large heavy glass dining table top had become unstuck from its tubular metal legs. You know the sort. Its happened before with other furniture. Ive fixed them--so i knew what to expect.
A suitable Gorilla glue was bought..and i set to and dismantled the thing. Wife helped me. The leg fixing rings were duly glued on yesterday--and left as it was for 24 hours. To harden.

Each time I submit a query either by phone call or email, it gets ignored or misunderstood. Each time, I have to resort to shaming them on Trustpilot to get something done.

I originally had a dumb pay as you go meter and wanted it changed to a Smart PAYG. It took 5 emails, 3 phone calls and a bad review on Trustpilot to get that sorted. Took 3 months, but got there in the end.
