What are you sorry to hear about?

Good morning, btw.

 

[NightsEpiphany]

Well, if you are honest about worshipping Satan you're definitely building your house on the sand... Not only that being robbed of a genuinely loving relationship which is what I reckon you long for looking at your posts. To be a bit fire and brimstone...Do you know how it feels to be boiled alive or in a fire for what your consciousness is aware of as eternity?
I've had a glimpse man...eurghhhhhhh I don't want a single soul to end up there.

Morning.

 

[Sammy G]

I don't worship Satan reeeeeaally. I'm a Gnostic Catholic neopagan if you want to label me as such, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the last word of said label's connotations. I suppose that makes me a candidate for The Pit all the same?

Who's robbing me of a genuinely loving relationship? Does such a thing exist?

I'm doing just fine without one, y'know!

Have a great birthday OTW - Hey, FG hows you. Haven't seen you about the place in ages.

hello bearlove ive not had a computer since Christmas so couldn't log in also been trying to go clean done 16 days now drug free feel a lot better for it to so hows things with you ? you have a good christmas / new years ?

 

[NightsEpiphany]

'Does a loving relationship exist'? Oh Yus!..With God. He is the only one who can truly fullFILL us..the only one we can truly trust and place our feet safely and solidly apon. I think its only by being right with him actually, that all other relationships can be healthy.

I let out a proper sigh of relief to hear that you're not a satan worshipper really Sam...I wasn't certain but I know you're not cold.

Did you ever hear the story of the beggar who sat all her life in the same spot begging for loose change. She died and never discovered that underneath her buried a little way down was a golden trove filled with exquisitely, beautiful, and magical treasures.

Spotted you getting your self banned before NY (numpty) - hadn't seen you about the place since. Great for giving yourself a break though, I personally don't like the 'clean' term as it suggests that when your using your somehow 'dirty'.

If you don't mind, Ill chuck you a PM about the rest - mundane stuff but would be nice for a catch up .

It's Thursday (weekend for me) - vodka is poured, spent the last few hours dosing on the patio in my shorts (scary image I know) and reading/trance. Waiting on Mr Bear getting home and were going to have BBQ (haha sounds so innocent).

Wishing you and Charlie a very good NY

Bear

Would God set my imagination ablaze, make my heart go ten to the dozen, tell me that I'm beautiful, write me florid letters, stroke the back of my neck and occasionally nosh me off?

What is 'loose change' in this story - Love / coin / contentment / peace / acceptance / acknowledgement etc

Bargain! :D

Just an update on this, incase anyone is interested in the outcome:

NSFW:

Hey Gibberer's. Help me out here...

I've just moved house, and have had to contact a host of companies to change my address details.

Rang up my car insurance, and they updated their system with my new address. They then attempted to charge me £50.90 for the admin fee in doing so!! I told the bloke on the phone he must be kidding me and refused to give my payment details.

Without notice, they cancelled my policy.


Can they really charge this much for an address change?? and cancel it like this without notice? I'm pissed off cos i'll lose my months of no claims bonus and may have to pay a cancellation fee on top

---

Raasy that doesn't sound right. I would speak to Money Matters or something like that. I know a lot of places charge an admin fee but it's usually a tenner. £50.90 is taking the absolute piss!!!! Also, why did they even cancel your policy??? Because you wouldn't pay the admin fee??? That would just mean that your address remained unchanged on their system. I wouldn't say that would be grounds for cancelling a policy!

That's ridiculous.

That's pretty harsh, Raas. Probably all detailed in the terms and conditions unfortunately.

Ask them to send you proof of your NCB (by letter) and move onto a decent insurance company. Don't pay them a fucking penny for admin fees or any of that bullshit. Threaten them with the Ombudsman.

What insurance company was this? Name them.

Yeah the ombudsman has stated that the cost of the admin fees must reflect the actual cost to the company. Unfortunately, they haven't given a ball park figure for address change.

Anyway, it's better trying to appeal it further because it costs them money just to appear before the ombudsman. They have eight weeks to find a resolution with you and, if this fails, they risk a much bigger penalty than you little admin fee. They'll hopefully just feel it's not worth chasing.

I rang up for quotes from other insurance companies, and to my shock found it's quite common for insurance companies to charge in excess of £50 for a simple address change!! whereas others will do it for free.

The operator blatantly lied to me about why it cost them so much, and tried to avoid discussing the matter with me - always a sign of someone who knows they're in the wrong. I paid it because I needed the cover, but told them I will be writing formally and contacting ombudsman if need be.


Don Luigi's response above hit the nail on the head - according to moneysavingexpert.com most companies will refund the cost if you send a few formal letters threatening further action

Consumers should watch out for costly fees when cancelling or adjusting details on car and home insurance policies.

Some firms levy huge fees of up to £65 just to press a few buttons in a call centre, yet others don't charge, showing changes can be made for nothing.

Independent arbitrator the Financial Ombudsman Service says fees must be proportionate to the work undertaken.

Because of this, it is possible to challenge the cost. Sometimes, insurers will waive fees when asked, while the Ombudsman can take up the case if you have no joy.

Surely if there was no end to the treasures - your just digging in dirt? Getting washed and dressed -

Afternoon EADD, haven't seen you in a while. I have noticed that the active membership does seem to fluctuate, I imagine because people are all doing exactly what I've been doing, i.e. behaving like idiots and being too wankered/withdrawing to get round to something as monumental as posting in a forum. Hope we are all well, cograts foolsgold on your achievements re:sobriety. Sixteen days is not to be sniffed at. Indeed, it's probably best if you avoid sniffing things altogether.

Oh, too many gibberings to catch up on. 8(

p.s. HI WATERFALL!!!

The universe isn't just a program - it's a programming language. The language of Pure Mathematics. Every computer programming language implements a greater or lesser subset of it. A language so pure that it exists independently of the notation used to write it, and can be freely transcribed from any one representation to any other. {Example: Music. The same song can be written as stave notation, chord boxes and note letters, binary MIDI codes or other forms of notation -- and given any one form of it, you could rewrite exactly the same piece of music in any other form that you knew. The language of music is transcendental.}

I love this. Let's not forget Fibonacci sequences on trilobites & snails, and fractals on ferns, and countless other amazing and wonderful stuff.

Please tell me more about this MCC. I got a motorbike, what did you get? :D
