  • Why are people buying these electronic cigaretts?

    I have tried them and most of the flavours and in my opinion they are a con and a waste of money,

    You may as well save your money,

    But my question is "why are people so gullible when crap like this comes on the market".

  • desktop pc going bad?

    Hi all,

    i have an HP p6013uk desktop pc and have just done a full recovery and re-install after it started playing up,

    now it takes forever to start up and shut down, it does not recognise my cameras or my card readers even though i have installed the drivers for them,

    i used to have an Emachines pc that did they same thing as this one but never found out what it was as i demolished it one day after getting fed up,

    i have reset to defaults everthing in the BOIS and now i do not get stuck on startup blue page, once it is up and running it does not seem to bad but there is something definitely wrong with it,

    what are the first signs of the power pack going bad as i think that was what was up with the Emachines,

    Has anybody got any ideas please,

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    hi,

    has anyone else having problems with trying to log on to www.orange.co.uk web site,

    i have been trying to get into my account now for over a week, each time i try to log in all i get is "we are experiencing technical problems but our engineers are working to fix it",

    please do not say ring them up as i do not speak urdu, parkistani,indian etc, i have tried it but just keep getting passed from pillar to post,

    so does anyone know what's up with the orange site, it's not a good advert for orange if you cannot even get on their web site is it.

  • have any of you been caught out like me?

    dfds ferries are a set of crooks,

    they do all this advertizing about "book early to get the cheapest prices, this i did in january this year for a crossing from dover to Dunkerque, France, and got these prices "outgoing £25.00-- return crossing £68.00", i put this down to the greedy french filling their pockets because of the olimpics being held in the UK, i paid up grudgingly and paid with my cash card,

    now last week i thought i would check to see how much the prices have gone up because of the rising price of oil and bugger me the prices are now "outgoing £25.00 and the return £37.00",

    so how have i got the lowest price by booking early, i have lost £31.00 and cannot get it back even if i cancel the trip, plus they took the money from my account as soon as i had booked the crossing, what gives them the right to take the money straight away like that, even hotels or taxi's dont take the money that quick, hotels only take your money if you don't show up,

    is there any legal way i can get my money back off these crooks.

    thanks,
