I’m a Certified Industrial Boiler Operator, with the Boiler Operators Accreditation Scheme. That’s right, I can use Certibo at BOAS on any correspondence, should I choose to! Steam boilers are my specialty. As such, I’d say your plan is boiling hot so you should steam right ahead and get your order ...

Deffo!

Update on my Pixar Lampshade: Cocoa is doing well. The eye has healed up nicely, although he’s still getting told off for rubbing it! Look away now if you’re squeamish! 0BB18601-E9D7-4571-99BB-7D6CC7B65E06.jpeg C4D67DE1-691A-46C4-B203-B0A3919F23E6.jpeg 38C7D07D-1365-4F18-89B1-25D695F2417E.jpeg

^^^ I think the problem might stem from the fact that Matt’s insurance company talked him into letting a claim handling company deal with it for him because it was a non fault claim. They sold it to him as a better option, due to the “free” hire car and waiving of his excess. (Which he would have ev...

Much as I love this, I’m sorely tempted by the new 39mm version! Mustn’t look. Mustn’t look. Oooh I looked! Stop it. Now!

Update: having listened to our argument that their valuation falls short of actual cost to replace, they’ve gone away and, on reviewing “the other guides”, they’ve generously increased their valuation by £245. Apparently, retail prices are not an accurate reflection of values? Who knew? They say tha...

Unbelievable! The claims company have just told my son that there’s no movement on the valuation as “it’s Glass’s Guide” price! She then conceded that they might be able to check a different guide and take the average but that could come out lower? He pointed out that he’s found several older cars f...

Hi all, thanks for your replies so far. Firstly, and most importantly, yes, my son is fine. No injuries. Thanks to all who asked. :thumbup: Secondly, it’s good to hear that it’s worth trying to raise the offer. We’re not out to make a profit, just get a fair price towards a direct replacement. When ...

Just wondered if anyone has any advice they can share about my Son’s current dilemma? Just over 12 days ago, my son was rammed from behind, by another car, which shunted him into the car in front. He has dash cam footage proving he wasn’t at fault. All is going well so far. He contacted his insuranc...

A bit of DIY for my daughter requires a watch that doesn’t mind a bit of sawdust!

Sunny day, sunny dial.

That’s a two foot scooter. I mean a scooter for two feet, not a short Forumite.

Don’t get out so much lately. A combination of a change of working hours (no more night shifts means more day shifts), injury and famalam commitments. Oh, and carrying an extra two stone due to not cycling so much, means wearing the old Lycra kit is a tad more embarrassing than usual! Nonetheless, m...
