You're a mug Lee, albeit a very generous one.





My mobile costs me about £15 every two months on PAYG.

Because I didn't know until the end of the month.... thats why the bills are called 'monthly' bills I guess!

I did say to Vodaphone that surely they should have some sort of stop in place or to have given me a call to say how much it was being used!

As soon as I got the bill, Sean jumped straight in his car and went and got it back for me...

Brom said he was sorry and would pay.... he also said he would go on a diet

Neither happened!

I do feel sorry for Brom though, he aint exactly an intenet expert and I bet he had no idea he was running up that size of bill!

Mind you, I feel even more sorry for you having to pay it

i think he's answered your question there mate

thing is though, i don't mind lending stuff to peolple if they need it and i've got it, but if someone were to take the piss like this, even if they were ill and what not, i would still be making a point about it, too many peole use being ill as a license to take the piss

not that i've had any dealings with brom, but he went from a relly nice guy everyone liked to being a very very shady character over night, illness aside it's not something you'd expect

as for the phone bills, we've had some shockers in the past when one guy ran up a £1400 bill in a month on the company mobile, seeing as i'm on it virtually all the time and my bills average around the £60 mark

his repayment plans were spread over 4 months worth of deductions from his wages

I didn't know though. I was billed AFTER he had used it!!!

Of course I wouldn't have let him do it!


Yes I have met some assholes and been mugged off badly by a few people on PassionFord..... but I've also met some incredible people who would do anything for me like Stu (rebuilt my entire car for £0.00) or broadmoor who lent me his truck for a week even though I had never spoken to him let alone met him!

For every Brom there is a genuine guy like Chip etc!

I can't change being me sadly.... I will always be far far too trusting

In other exciting news.... you will be please to know I have replaced those nasty rusty rear suspension arms on the Westy that you didn't like for some shiny new wide ones from Westfield.

Bad news is they needed some wide arches to cover them... so having some Carbon ones made.

Worst news for Stu is he has gotta fit it all

Mine was about £280.

Lent a "mate" my phone while we were on holiday as his wasn't working abroad - promises and promises of payement. Never turned up.

Given up chasing money - another friend owes me £400 which I'll never get back.

True.

I didn't just let the money go either... I managed to get in contact with his Girlfriend about a year ago. I told her what he owed me but that he also owed Sean ALOT more. Sean got 75% of his back. So it wasn't a complete disaster. Then out of the blue Brom text me and said he would pay me back next

Now he has gone missing completely!

I am glad to hear it, if a jobs worth doing it's worth having Stu do it right

Now how much is this track day at Bedford?
