Any remeber these films/tv shows?

1st is a tv show, end of the world type thing. main charterer looked like a typical lesbian but she wasnt. there was a black guy with a crossbow. and in one episode he is picking a lock and some other guy. think he was an asain sings a song to help him concentrate from memory the song is wonderwall by oasis. It ended with them all getting crucified in an old power station or something.

next one was another tv show aired about the same time. on channel 4 i think about some people forming a band. it was aprox 98-99 because in one bit they are in the studio recording and you can see someone playing the video game gran turismo that came out in 98.

third one is either a film or a tv show. cant remember. But its about druggies and at one point of the female druggies is selling her self for sex in a car with someone and one of her friends is just crying near by, i cant remember if he was suppose to rob the punter and bottled it or what.

last one is a film. some one kidnaps a woman and handcuffs her naked to a sofa/settee. when he comes back she is startled and jumps behind the settee and urinates on the floor.
Beat me to it, I was too busy looking for the 'Bizarre threads' thread to put it in....

We use to deal with a lot insures based in Gibraltar. They were fine for us, always paid a fare price and without any fuss.

Zenith on the other hand. They were tragic.

I done trade purchase of TVR, I gave my mate cash to tax car for one year just so I could sell it on and new keeper legally road test and drive it. (car was SORN)
Sold it 2 weeks later, which was 7 weeks ago and still no refund received.
Even although car was shown as sold to me as trade 9 weeks ago DVLA will not explain why no refund received, previous owner now has to phone them to get any excuses.
I sold my Trafic van 3 weeks ago, taxed it for 1 year (5 days prior to selling) just so new owner could road test it legally.
Again no refund received... DVLA excuse? " our system has problems if vehicle is sold soon after taxing it" he then confirmed no refund had even been started and he would need to do it manually. WTF.
I will not even go into problems with a taxed vehicle that DVLA thought was untaxed and canx a V5 application along with number retention for previous owner.... their mistake compounded by incompetance and a crap system.

I try to do everything legal but DVLA are very good at making you wish you hadn't bothered.

I don't order enough stuff to justify £79 a year, and so have no allegience (sp) to either for such items.
The (sp) is his. Why would anyone do that? Why not just check the spelling by looking on the Internet? Perhaps he didn't have any internet access when he posted that?

I'm i'm referring to the Barclays smart phone app that allows you to take an image of the check and then deposit the amount in your account using the smart phone app. It appears to work right up until the point where I pressed send and then it says that there is a problem. Call centre and in branch seem clueless about this. Anybody using this successfully?.

(formally coolmartin80) You know the thing i love about wedges is they have character if you drive one down the road kids will shout wow look at that a tvr or walk up to it when parked at a show admiring its shape, dads say "thats a lovely car" kids do to, its a reaction that my mk 1 slk with its gizmo metal folding roof does not get, but the wedge is a marmite car you either love it or you dont and it has a small cult following its really the forgotten car when was the last time you saw a big article on the 280i in a classic car mag, and although it took nearly 30 years for wedge prices to hit rock bottom not the usual 10 (my mk1 slk only 13 years old and worth £1500 ) it all means more are being scrapted or used for kit cars, when i brought my first Tasmin in 2003 in average condition it cost me £4,000 the going rate for a 280i then even though they were nearly 20 years old 350is were going for £6,000 but when i got my other 2 Tasmins in 2009 prices were hitting rock bottom i got them both for £1500. There are according to "HOW MANY LEFT" only 94 Tasmins taxed on the road of all types, in 2001 there where 187 so thats nearly 50 per cent gone in 14 years, TR7s are over 600 taxed and the TR6s over 2500 taxed on the road they are old, crampted and have the handling of a truck but they are handsome brutes that have a bigger cult following also in the early 80s there prices went up and now your paying £12,000 for an average one which is what needs to happen to wedges if we want to see a decent number surviving. i went on google images and saw an early wedge i went on its page and found it was sold at auction in 2009 for over £2500 it was in good condition had a very good interior reg ONR 299W in silver the vendor said tvr club had told him it was the 4th dhc made chassis 500 (forgot all of it but an early chassis no) where is it now well last taxed in late 2011 mot ran out oct 2012 i am right in thinking if you dont tax a car you have to scorn it or dvla fines you so no tax means the car which was 4th dhc made and had lasted since jan 1981 over 30 years has gone for good. 1980s car prices are on the up so i hope Tasmin prices continue to rise also.
