How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

+1 .... and if you find the fuckers rip they`re heads off. I get so pissed off when these Fuckers don`t have the balls to settle things face 2 face and end up making damage to your car .... those people are LOSERS.

If it's an ongoing project, maybe a car cover, too?
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

This s*** makes my blood boil! I'd paint the bonnet white and wait for them to come back for a couple of nights. They won't notice the screen because it will be dark and will think you've had it repaired then you can have em!

the police have filed it.... as apparently that is all they can do.... about as much use as a chocolate cfrying pan... then weren't even willing to dust the rock for finger prints from the first time.

well guys, one more update... i think i may possibly know who did it now.... my sister's car had an attempted break in last night on the driveway where my car was when damage was done to mine.... now, this time... they were spotted by two seperate neighbours... i now have a moral dilema... do i hand the info to the police or go all tony soprano and bung them in the boot of a car and go for a long drive, give 'em a kickin and leave them somewhere a long walk from home?

Tough one :?

In the real world I'd go to the Police and let them bring them to justice, which probably won't come to much.

Playing games with them might result in more repercussions. How about bunging a mate a few quid to play with them in the right manner to keep your hands clean winkeye

Are you 100% sure who they are ??

Option 2 for me... Added warning that if anything goes missing gets damaged again you and Chuck Norris will be around and it wont be so friendly.... (after a good kicking)



I have had a similar issue and I confronted the person who then pleaded innocence, I simply said well I am blaming you and its now in your best interest to ensure it never happens again otherwise I will burn down your house in your sleep...

For years this guy has gone out of his way to be nice to me... And the issue never happened again...




Its best to do this with a soft voice and a smile.... :D Shows your looking forward to it and makes you look like a nutter that might actually do it... Then follow it up with a gentle pat on the back
