Bill Carr Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 It's been like that for a few days now. I left it switched off at the wall for a couple of days and when I returned home today the same message appeared. Doesn't appear to be any loose connections. Hit the top of the box whilst shouting at it. That always does the trick in the Carr household. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it isn't, switch the scart lead round, that sometimes works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tell them you want to cancel and they send out an engineer free That is what i did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Jimmy, is it Sky+ you have? If so, unscrew both feed cables that go into the back of the box and switch them around. Turn the box off first though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 My Sky appears to be fucked. Got a message saying no satellite signal is being received. I assume I'm going to have to incur a £90(?) charge to send out an engineer? If you've had Sky for more than 3 years it'll cost you £40. Ring 08442414141 when you get a chance. Tell them you're aware it might cost you to have an engineer sent out (and then they won't hang up on you) and they'll do what they can to sort it. If they can't, they'll book the engineer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Good god, no. "Ah hate mundees" "Ah hate mundeez, choosdeez AND wednzdeez" and "That wans so hard" (wahey) "Ah think we should ask fur help" are examples of their high-quality conversations with each other. Stick yer boaby in their mouth, that will shut them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groaninjock Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Something that really gets me annoyed twice a year - folk that think they're funny with shite like: "Just saw Carlos Tevez having a white pudding supper on the Gallowgate - must be in town to sign for Celtic" It was funny the first transfer window. It's not funny any more. Just f**k off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_bully_wee Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Stick yer boaby in their mouth, that will shut them up. I might have done so if I had some sort of double-headed effort, but sadly I do not and the other would continue to talk shite while said act of silencing takes place 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Stuffy X-Country trains and the 21st century way of showing which seats are reserved on tiny screens. I like to walk along the platform and find an empty seat with no white ticket sticking out the top, not find a near empty coach and board only to find they're all reserved from Dundee / Leuchars. Poor mannie who has to sort out and place the scotrail tickets: I salute you. On the plus side, bonnie day for the coastal train ride.

Raith Against The Machine Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It really bothers me when somebody has a dig at a player for losing out in a footrace to an opposition player who's faster than he is. Pace is like height. There's f**k all you can do about it. Nobody shouts at a player for losing a header to a guy who's a foot taller than him. Lack of effort I can entirely understand, but when someone is clearly busting a gut and loses out because he's not quick, it boils my piss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Before becoming a tax-dodging b*****d, I used to avoid work nights out like the clap. Almost always you will get someone who makes a rip roaring c**t of themself (probably me if I went), you piss your fellow workmates off and you have a heavy dose of the fear for weeks afterwards. I worked in a place that would have team bonding nights out every couple of months. As most people went, they offered double time the following day for those who didn't go, or who still fancied a shift whilst hungover. The stories the following day were always brilliant, including one wee ned boy trying to chat up the MD's wife (Christmas night out). Amazingly, he didn't get the sack, or his hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) You have to have work "mates" first Keith Petty thing on my nerves this last we while is a cough. Had it for a few weeks, went to the docs who basically said there is nothing wrong as my chest and everything else is all fine. Told me to take paracetamol which is doing f**k all as if anything it will be a virus that will go away itself. Its not going away n my coughing is pretty bad. Wife and I had that recently. We found we a we bit of cough medicine it went away. Edited September 1, 2012 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Having someone make you leave a club early for an 'afterparty' which you need to get a £10 taxi just to get to a flat which happens to be 'dry' (well, one can of strongbow split between 7 tea cups), then having to get a £20 taxi home. Very, very, VERY unimpressed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
