Checkgirl...(and Phantom)

Good to see you both!! And just one roundabout apart! :D

Glad to see there *IS* other Mini life in Dundee! THought you'd all disappeared.. Spent the last few weeks waving at EVERY mini... but nothing back! Gits! ;):p:D

It's getting as bad as Edinburgh round here!!!

;);):p

[Big Gordy]

Larbert/Stenhousemuir seems to have the opposite problem lnl:D I get most of my waves and flashes returned but none of them are from people on here:( Last night I actually had the mini in front flash their hazards at me before I had a chance to do anything:eek: It was a dark blue cooper with a white roof and egg poacher alloys :p:D:approve:

hi again Ewan, got me broadband all working had to phone the help desk though, doh! well how did I know there was an automatic disconnect after twenty minutes if idle that I did not deselect!:clown:

[empi67]

They must have something against you... :D

i`d say about 90% of mini Drivers in dundee now flash or wave back..

My persistance is paying off i think.

Either that or they say "GOD Heres that nutter again.. better smile wave and look happy."

Heh heh.. the joys of home PC's... :D

I'll stick to the 1Gb link to the Intarweb we have here at the Uni! :D:D

Incidentally, who did you go with for yer BB, and what connection / cost? I'll be considering in in the next few weeks - cos I'm sick of Dial-up at home!
Had a 'salesman' from Telewest at the door on friday night... he vanished sharpish when I said what I did for a living! :D:D:D:D:D;);)

1GB at work - we have a 2GB connection its much better! :D:D:D

For your info, I have Tiscali Broadband and I can't complain. You can get 1mb for £14.99 at the moment (they have just dropped their prices) and 2MB is £19.99 - whatch out if you download a lot as there are limits to the amount you can download. I used to have unlimited and it was £25.00 per month.

Cheers

Hi Euan, I'm with Tesco as I was with them for the dial up so just stayed with them at £17.90 for 1mb plus I added 50p a month for their security disc which keeps updated automatically as i never remember to do that. Hope thats helpful. :D

Have to agree with the Dundee response. I get hardly any returns of waves/flashes in and around Angus but on a recent jaunt to Dunders I was overwhelmed by the light/hand correspondence I got. Reinstalled my faith in Mini owners. I was starting to think that as more of them appeared on the road the less people were bothered about the etiquette!

Think I might just have to go with Telewest's 3 for £30...
I know the BB is only 512K, but download speeds hardly ever get anywhere near that.. so it's enough. And there isn't a limit on the volume you can download either! :D

If I look at it another way.. I'd be at least £10 for a BT line, and the current dial-up is £14, so for another £5 or £6 I can get basic cable too.. including Sky One and UK Gold.. :D:D

..heh.. Wonder if I can "Un-tune" Channel 4 and E4 till farkin' Big Brother goes away again for this year? Don't get me started!!!! ;););):blackeye::blackeye::blackeye::blackeye::clo wn::clown::p:p
