    • Three Trump allies charged in Wisconsin fake elector scheme   "Last year, the 10 fake electors from Wisconsin disavowed their attempt to overturn Trump’s defeat in 2020, recognized the legitimacy of President Joe Biden’s victory, and pledged not to serve as real electors in 2024 or any election when Trump is on the ballot – or to act as sham electors in any future election, as part of a civil lawsuit settlement. The 10 fake electors issued a statement acknowledging that the phony certificates they signed in December 2020 were “used as part of an attempt to improperly overturn” the lawful election results."   Three Trump allies charged in Wisconsin fake elector scheme | CNN Politics EDITION.CNN.COM The Wisconsin attorney general on Tuesday filed charges against three allies of Donald Trump accused of taking part in the effort to...  
    • Thanks all. Think I have come to a plan dx please correct me if I am getting you wrong but I am going to go down the route you suggest. simply stop payments for now until I receive a DN and it gets marked on my file. Then contact each lender and start making token payments to each one. i then assume most like they will then at some point sell to DCA. Once they are sold I’ll be coming back to see how best I deal with it.  Let me know if I am making some error in judgment or missing anything with my plan

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Finally got a lottery win - only £10 but better than nothing. Haven't had a win in about 18 months! Only 'big' win was £68 for four numbers. I usually do two lucky dips (or three depending on how much change I get when I go shopping on Saturday morning). This week was 2 lucky dips.

 

Hangover also gone from yesterday - and due to go to Sunday lunch with a friend later...

Ebay sending out emails asking people to sign a petition to:

 

"Demand an end to unfair trade practices.

 

eBay was built on a simple idea - that we could empower people by building a global trading platform where practically anyone could buy or sell practically anything. But that idea is now under threat from certain brand owners and manufacturers who are trying to turn back the clock and block the sale of their products on online marketplaces and other websites across the EU.

Ultimately, what is at stake is the right of sellers to compete fairly in the wider online marketplace, and the right of buyers to be able to access the best possible deals from the widest possible selection of goods.

Some of these brand owners argue that their objective is to prevent the sale of counterfeits on eBay. But thanks to our work with 31,000 other rights owners, only 0.15% of listings last year were detected or reported as potentially counterfeit. The real aim of these brands is to block the sale of all their products on our site - regardless of whether such items are new or second-hand, genuine or fake. It's not just luxury items that are affected, but also everyday items like children's toys, electronic equipment, lawnmowers and pushchairs. And if we want to prevent other brand owners from following suit, we need to act now."

 

I might think about signing it if eBay puts its own house in order.

 

They claim only 0.15% of listings were detected as potentially counterfeit - we've bought 21 things on eBay in the last 12 months - of which 4 or 5 have been fakes / copies / pirate (whatever name they chose to use). That's a lot higher percentage-wise than 0.15% and judging from conversations I've had with others we've had less problems than many!

Taking a jolly to Leeds to see my best mate Naomi and her new addition, Reenie (Careen), to her ever increasing army of kids!!!

 

'tis a 4 1/2 hour journey but well worth it - also, I ain't driving. The fantastic boyfriend (who is daft enough) agreed to drive there and back in a day just so I could see her :D:D

I won £20 on the Lottery this week - had £10 last week. I will do 3 lucky dips again on Wednesday - maybe lightening will strike again here and I will have another win (4 or 5 numbers would be great, most I've ever won was £67 about two years ago).

Seeing my 6 year old in his class assembly.

 

20 minutes this morning spent with him getting him to speak loudly and slowly - he was perfect by the time he left home.

 

Got to the assembly to see 30 kids all mumbling quickly into their chests (and watching the one kid every class has who's finger is constantly in their finger holster:D )

Time flies like an arrow...

Fruit flies like a banana.

I've just read a list of excuses that our members of staff have given for not coming into work. Here are some of them:-

 

Can you cover my work tonight, I feel really tired because I had a power cut yesterday.

 

I can't go to work this afternoon because I got cat littler in my eye!

 

Can't come in as I have got ants in the hallway

 

My grandad's died for the 15th time

 

I can't come into work today as I have got a screwdriver in my hand

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]If you think my post was helpful, please feel free to click my scales

 

 

A prudent question is one-half of wisdom.

 

:D
