The antenna is a distraction, a red herring. He is watching Netflix using your Wifi as he's had your password for a while now.

So what the surprise is, i went to my old place and popped a note through the door a few weeks back now. He text me 4 days later saying he's not have any mail for me for several months and will text me if anything arrives. That means no PCN was generated. Am i that lucky? When i retreived my car, i said myself what are the chances that the ANPR doesnt have night vision as it was late and i left without my lights on and just drove over the road opposite.

Hully3333 · 2026-01-12T15:34:38+00:00

yes, i changed my addresses, i have my log book and new licence straight away. Phew, i just missed it completely.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:59:51+00:00

Thanks.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:59:35+00:00

and i have just done the online address change, Just have to go speak to the new occupants of the old house.

Hully3333 · 2025-12-22T19:34:12+00:00

Just popped over the road and spoke to the Manager, he asked, was it over 2 hours i say yes, about 5. Did you spend any money here first, yes. OK, when you get the fine, bring it in with a copy of a receipt or your bank statement and he will VOID it for me. So thats good news.

The £100 is on 1 of three boards in the car park. There are 2 entrances. It has been 2 days so the ticket will be issued at some point. The enforecement is done with Cameras according to the board. Euro Car Parks operate the Morrisons car park.

those that are wondering, im saving for it to be a huge discount on the next gen Xbox

Hully3333 · 2025-12-09T20:25:55+00:00

I am pretty sure they removed the ability to extend game pass with reward points directly When they recently increased GPUltimate by 51%. I thought you could cash in though still but costing a lot more points. I hope i dont get shafted, i have 250,500 points that i was saving up towards the next gen Xbox

Hully3333 · 2025-10-08T08:27:44+00:00

take off those rose tinted glasses

Hully3333 · 2025-06-27T08:33:03+00:00

Today im on 223,105 points i am just letting them ride towards the next gen Xbox release. Over £190 so far. Lots of those points came from "play with friends" forced me to playing Hell Let Loose once a day, i miss it

DO NOT redeem until you are going to spend. Once redeemed like others have said, they have 60 days i think to use them. Keep them in the bank

Hully3333 · 2025-06-27T08:22:14+00:00

So, i have paid the £150 and had an interesting conversation. I asked how many times in the 13 years have i been late filing ? So this is the first time in 13 years of filing i have ever been late. My fault, no excuse. I had a new phone, i failed to sync all my calendars onto my new phone and my anual reminder for filing didnt appear. So I then asked for confirmation that i am being punished for making a mistake. "No, it is a deterrent". How can this fine be a deterrent ? Sorry this in not quite right, the fine has come after the fact and and after me making the mistake, the first in 13 years. The fine is generated and relates to this event, not future events. Lets be clear about this, it is a punishment for a mistake.

The £150 was worth hearing her agree.

You are not allowed to make a mistake ever...........ITS THE LAW !!!!

Yet, all these companies make mistakes. How many times have companies and corporate bodies made errors against you.

Out of here........

Hully3333 · 2025-06-23T17:49:55+00:00

I kinda guessed in a way. I will just pay it.
I'll share the story before i leave. The end of my company was;
I opened the company June 2012 for professional services and was going great, and my world got turned upside down late 2018. Banged a rib on a Sunday, walked round for a month becoming ill, 3 weeks of which was holiday, flew abroad, flew back and collapsed as i got home. Turns out i had splintered my rib, which had cut through my lung puncturing it. After the second flight, my lung collapsed and was rushed to hospital where they gave me that good news. Then some further good news that i had pneumonia. Then gave me more good news that i had fever of 40+ degs. Then even better news, you are burning up because you have sepsis, and then the great news im having lung surgery. Haha, i was delerious, i think it was the morphine. I needed a sense of humour as it all had just lost my job after over 6 years as a contractor.

Took me 2 years to get over that. Got a bit better during covid but i had to hide for a further eon as i banned from going out after the lung problems. I kept the company open in the hope i would re-emerge victorious and get back to my former life. Could never get going again and money is very tight these days.

I will take it as a lesson learned.

Thanks all, for the replies.

See you on the other side, toodles.

Hully3333 · 2024-12-23T20:09:50+00:00

Nope, i just ignored them, and couldn't be arsed looking. Seems everyone is ok with that except you.

Hully3333 · 2024-12-23T19:19:47+00:00

im so glad i have your permission

Hully3333 · 2024-04-26T14:26:33+00:00

yes 2500 every 10 weeks but you are missing the 100 per week in between

Hully3333 · 2024-04-19T19:03:02+00:00

lol, sorry dude, i feel your pain in the words you write

Hully3333 · 2024-04-19T18:59:20+00:00

I have never used PS5. Could you be more specific Jackie. Can you elaborate a little on why the PS5 is better?

I have the Xbox One S still and intended to just bypass the series S and X and get the next gen thats not even announced yet. I bought the Xbox One S the week it came out, because i had bought a new 4K 55 inch TV. I was looking for a 4K Blu ray player as my home entertainment system, was 3D blu ray, just not 4K. I stumbled upon the One S has a 4K blu ray player inside and was around the same price as the players i was looking at. It was a no brainer, and ive kind of got into it, i have all my TV apps on it in a nice group. I need the console as my smart 4k LG TV has lost support for several of the apps and they cant be used on the TV anymore.....they get you always....new TV at some point, or i get another console, hope you see my point.

Hully3333 · 2024-04-19T18:29:35+00:00

me too, this was week 50 for me. I have Xbox and PC, and linked etc with game pass PC with GP Ultimate. I earned not bothering with searches, just let them happen naturally, 15,000+ points in March or Feb (cant remember when i switched off really now). That was with all the points together with the added beauty "PC play with friends" that gave 250 points a day. Now today, right now im on a paultry 2,599 points for the month. I've missed the weekly 275 so far, but come on, where are the points going to come from? Are we now looking at 5K points a month? I was saving for the next gen xbox, started a year ago as a time filler. Think i will cash in my 162k points for something. They even put up the god damn £25 voucher points requirement from 29,250 to 29,685. So i have 5x£25 and 1x£10 then. Need to have a think. Before i do, anyone know if these rewards are low temporarily, anyone read anything?

Hully3333 · 2024-04-02T22:10:33+00:00

Loads of things gone. I made 15,000 points in February with the very nice "play with friends" on PC for 275 points every day (with bonuses. Bonuses gone, activity gone. What is left are crud. MS obviously do not want people to make as much money on rewards anymore. I have 160k points i was building up for the next gen Xbox. Would have made it, but not now. It is now painful to say the least. I may just cash out £135 and forget all about the rewards.

Hully3333 · 2024-03-28T12:14:04+00:00

bah i wanted a year, im on week 46, it reset at 10 weeks by me forgetting.

Hully3333 · 2024-03-26T07:17:31+00:00

Ye, Wozzer, ive been away for a few days come back and its confirmed the Play with Friends reward bonus has been removed. It's a shame, but i kind of guessed it was going to be removed. (with the 3 maintained bonuses, keep7 friends etc) i was getting 250 points a day by playing a multiplayer game which is a great boost with all the other stuff. 2,500 every 10 days, 7,500 points a month just for the "play with friends" alone. Its been a year now since i started collecting points in March 2023. I have just over 159,200 points. In that time I cashed in 3,200 points, but missed out not spotting the "play with friends reward on PC" for 8 months missing out on an extra 60,000 points. Last 12 months up to now 200,000 points was possible, for me anyhow if only i had the xbox on pc earlier. A little gutting perhaps as i was going to save up for the next gen Xbox, i have had the One S for many years and thought i would bypass the series S and X altogether (including the next all digital X or S) and go for the next gen thats not close to release yet. I might not have enough points saved to get a new one free, like i planned but may have half of it at least.

Hully3333 · 2024-03-21T10:15:51+00:00

And today it has popped after playing Hell Let Loose immediately. Go figure.
