Ironic that due to the number of posts that guys had on overclockers, his rank is "wise guy"

LOL, I'm a member over there and was going to post... "Please don't tell me you bought that from CARCRAFT" but the barstools have closed the thread!

Now that would have had him crying

This brings me nicely to something I like to rant about...

School does not prepare people for dealing with things like this - I feel sorry, and happy for him. I like that he has a car he likes, and Clios in all fairness are not bad for what they are. I feel sorry for him because he firstly got screwed by Carcraft, then got screwed by forums and now he has probably lost the warm feeling he started out with.

At the end of the day how was he supposed to know that it was such a terrible deal?

Why does he know how to cook a pineapple upside down cake, or make a pair of shorts for an Ethiopian Kid but I bet he doesnt understand how gas bills work, or what APR is etc...

I 100% blame this on the school system!!

Rant ends.

No mate, I spent 9 months in a flat and could never work it out.

In the end, my landlord took it out of my bond!!

I with you on that one. All I know is my utilities bills keep going up after I spent a fortune on making my home more efficient !!!

Ah well with all the DD's going out of my account monthly at least I am well and truly on the 'credit ladder' and very happy for it

Totally agree Matt. Add to our new syllabus please education on Credit cards, Store cards, credit rating, what 'Sale' really means in a shop window, and why many girls of the female variety smell of fish.... only coz nobody's ever explained this to me

Well considering I never learnt how to make a pineapple upside down cake OR make shorts for Ethiopian kids, I feel terribly short changed out of the school system
