Bit of an empty threat, though. Internet smear campaign would be a much more effective (and more easily executed)

That might actually work Z. I had to use that once against one seller. He was selling some kitchen equipment and we thought to give it a try but after a couple of days he said that we already promised to buy them and it's not possible to cancel the order. First I tried with a friendly way to settle that but as he refused to play nice I had to play that card. I just said that you know how many friends I have in Facebook. I guess that did the trick as he instantly accept to give us a full refund. Hi was one angry bastard when he left but I couldn't care less.

Only effective if they USE the internet
I got a fucking speeding ticket yesterday - $330 + 4 demerit points....can't really afford to pay it, nor take it up the ass from increased insurance costs....never had a moving violation in the past - only meter parking tickets, but for whatever reason, I decided to speed alot yesterday to get going to where ever faster - problem is, I blew by not one but two coppers...fuckin weather and unmarked cars.....think I'll fight this: let the system decide - if he doesn't show when the trial comes, I skate...if he does, I just pay up then n there....I think...suggestions???

Oh I couldn't care less about the rain big boy. It's delicious on these hot muggy days. But when I'm paying per week to use the gym, I better be able to go very damn day!!

40cm snow on Monday and some 20cm more yesterday

Wanna take a guess how's our traffic ATM? This morning my front right brake was frozen and I had to ask my friend to give me a push. Well that didn't help so I took my GF's hair blower with extra long extension cord

That did the trick and I got it going. But like that wouldn't be enough the battery in my friends car was dead. So we had to drive around to get him a pair of jump cables.
Last but not least, we have so much snow around here that it seems to be impossible to go from one place to another without giving a push to some poor stuck blokes that I have to wear a proper winter boots and not Superstars!

Dutch mail going on strike for the third week in a row. Every week a day longer (this week 3 days).
EZ, I feel for you man. When Holland get's like 2 cm snow, the entire country is one big chaos.

Scotland's the same, people need to apply some common sense. Loads of folk complaining, does my head in.
On a brighter note I've just got home from my open, dry gym...

Fortunately those water boiler problems are almost non-existent over here. I guess they have to make them extra sturdy to fit to our climate.
Also peeps usually use proper winter tires (with spikes) to get through snow and ice, but I only have those middle European winter tires that are a joke compared to real ones.
Here's how it looked here around noon
Roughly 10 minutes later the sun was gone for the next 9 hours.
