Tech came last night, tested the voltage of our outlets, they are low, but not too low to run a fridge. Then he found oil/freon (or whatever it is they fill them with these days) had leaked out. It's under warranty so they'll repair or replace. Third time's a charm right?

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Checked with a spirit level, it is level. I've tried a different socket, but I'm pretty sure it is on the same circuit. I am wondering if this might be the problem. I have a volt meter kicking around somewhere, I'll see if I can find it and if it's...

There is a large gap all the way around, have even tried pulling it out and leaving in the middle of the kitchen floor for hours to no avail. Door seals are good - pinched a piece of paper between the door and the unit and there is resistance when sliding it back out all the way around. It...

I was having ongoing issues with the fridge freezer in my apartment not cooling sufficiently for weeks. Ambient temperature is pretty high - about 80f/27c most days of the summer because the A/C in my apartment is also a pile of poo. After arguing with my landlord for a while that a normal...

Mustard? edit: bah, too slow.

Ah, well, this be my first login for about 6 months :o That's why I asked about it. I couldn't figure out where he planned to slip in a sudden urgent need for me to send a large sum of money. Still doesn't make sense, but whatever. (shrugs)

Ah good to know it's nothing new, thanks. Amazing the lengths people will go to to trick others isn't it? I'm sure that if Mr. Chu (or whatever he is really called) put as much effort into legitimate work then he would make just as much money as he gets from the poor souls who fall for this sort...

A couple of days ago I saw a job listing on Craigslist for a bookkeeper/PA position, pretty standard requirements for that sort of occupation, well written, reasonable pay rate offered. So I took the time to write a good cover letter and emailed it along with my CV. I've just received this...

Aaaargh, no no no! Sky haven't hired the brightest bunch in their call centres it seems :(. Some clarification for the different questions raised in this thread: Sky customers can get the new Sky+HD box for free, whether new or existing. If you are an existing customer and they give you some...

Hmm, that's not Sky per se, more down to the individual salesperson. Sky has a very strict policy about business conducted with potentially vulnerable customers (including elderly). From the sounds of it, your experience will have generated a customer service issue on this guys record, he'll be...

Just taken a job with Sky sales - can confirm this offer is legit for new and existing customers.

hokey...

You're probably right. I've had enough though so he's going on my ignore list :p bringing said list contents to a grand total of... 1 member.

TBH, the first option doesn't help either though, as they don't bother responding to emails either.

^^ I think that is a matter of opinion, of which yours is greatly outnumbered.

From the FAQ/rules: Those who post for the sole purpose of causing trouble are not welcome here and will be dealt with accordingly.

There was no original point, Gaff is clearly here to just stir things up. Some people just seem to get a kick out of it. Diverting the attention of such topics away from the original focus and onto... themself!

So umm, what are your credentials then? Why should any of us believe what you are saying is either accurate or correct, in both technical and moral terms? Just because you know how to argue to the point of pendantry doesn't make you smarter than everyone else. Majority opinion is that you're...

If you still have tablets left in the packet then you didn't use enough...
