Aye. Not seen any other phones with this problem. Maybe everyone is putting it in the wrong pocket? I expect there'll be a withering missive from Tim Cook toot sweet explaining how everyone is doing it wrong.
Probably a deliberate phonetic spelling, but I'm really hoping that's not the case. smile

When I rented my house 3 yrs ago, it came with a washing machine, which is listed on the invertery.

The washing machine is now starting to make a noise which I think is the main bearing.
Am I liable for new bearing/washing machine or is it fair wear and tear?
Must admit, i'm not to bothered if I have to replace the washing machine, but does it have to be the same make model?
Your thoughts?

Can i ask two questions in one posting?
Why are the french words 'convoi exceptionnel' used on oversize loads on UK roads?

Why do car dealers some times list their cheaper cars as 'P/X to clear' or more specifically what does 'to clear' actually mean?

...if you are going to sell a car, at least try to spell the model name correctly. It is, after all, written on the side of the damned thing, as can clearly be seen in the photos you uploaded, "abbeysasha" tongue out

From the description it does sound like a gutless Cutlass

The Q & A would have me doing a Reginald Perrin into the sea and never coming back.

CMD should simply state at the conference he is out and call a by election. Its authorative, leading and controlling the narrative.

Yes, disproportionate. Hate speech is still just speech, and criminalising it is questionable. The senetencing here is way out of whack.

Some people are sport for us, I would have thought Breadvan72 was on this side of the fence?

Quite right, you are wrong.

Hung is the normal past participle/tense EXCEPT in cases of death by hanging, where hanged is used.
