| Post Info | TOPIC: For love nor money |
| Posted By: Big Chris Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 310 | For love nor money Its a conspircay. For some reason I cant join any membersites. I thought id try Steel Kittens, but they wont let me in as I need to give a Zip code. Cant get round it ( and dont think I havent tried). Sending my credit card details that many times without anything in return makes me nervous... Also tried to join Catfight Corner, anyone know anything about this site. I know its German and I have to give my credit card details to yet another firm www.inet-cash.de. I had a quick look on google and it seemed legit. Unfortunately after entering the details yet again, CFCorner server's down and so my membership hasnt registered. So far my card hasnt been charged by either... But I'll be keeping an eye on my account |
| Posted By: Marty Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 306 | RE: For love nor money Big Chris, What's the problem with giving your zip code? That's a fraud screen to protect you from someone finding your card or the number and using it. Heck, half the time you use a card at a gas station you have to provide the zip code. |
| Posted By: Big Chris Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 300 | RE: For love nor money My fault I didnt make myself clear. I live in the UK, I give my postcode out like its going out of fashion. I have no problems doing that. I wouldnt have been able to join half of the membersites without it. Phone number on the other hand... But I dont have a zipcode. And Steelkittens really really want one. A postcode wont do apparently ;) |
| Posted By: Wizard® Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 291 | Aw Geez.. Now youve gone and done it! Dio now knows that you live in England. Do you realize what this means? First, some pale little wanker in tattered knickers and ill-fitting blazer will show up at your door begging for Battenburg cake. Before you know it hell be inside, his runny nose dripping all over your floor, fingering feverishly through your tape collection. Next, hes grabbing any beer or ale you have in your fridge and if you ask if hes old enough to be drinking, feign indignation while presenting a fake ID with Margaret Thatchers photo. Finally, hell be constantly asking if you know of any cousins you can call so he can photograph them. And all of this is because you asked here about zip codes! |
| Posted By: Dio Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 286 | Wazzard! Wazzard you rotter! Everythings nice and quiet here whilst I do some sunbathing and then you stomp and yomp in with your Chinonian brigandry and ruffle my feathers you guttesnipe... YOu CAD! Big Chris, here's a tip. When the silly Americans use one of those badly designed input pages that demands an American zip code, just give them what they want and enter a zip code to allow you to move onto the next page. It has always worked for me. I like to use conneticut best, it sounds like a childrens jigsaw puzzle game and that's good enough for me. Just enter any old zip code from the drop down list available, it always works, and it just shows you what a daft redundant feature that bit is anywaa.......... 'at this point Dio becomes fascinated with the banner advert at the top of the page that features an animated woman's face and some advertising about college degrees.... he puts his cursor over the advert and it begins to speak to him, however when he notices that wherever the cursor is put within the borders of the advert the woman's head & eyes follows his every move, Dio decides to run out of the room screaming thinking that the little people are watching him again' Cheers Dio |
| Posted By: Wizard® Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 281 | Bullocks! © Translation of Dios post: Dear Big Chris, Go ahead and commit fraud. I do all the time when I use my Mums credit card on the Internet. Its boffo fun as long as you are a minor. I only wish I could stay 13 years old forever. Also, please post your postal code, address, name, and maybe your credit card number here. Id like to mail you some clippings from Page 3 that Ive collected over the past three weeks. |
| Posted By: Rough Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 276 | RE: For love nor money The little animated brunette IS watching us, Dio! It's funny, she always seems to be talking dirty whenever I come across her. Don't know WHY that is. Saucy girl! DIO/ROUGH 2004 |
| Posted By: Dio Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 275 | Freud That's not fraud you nincompoop! Your zip codes are not as important as our Postal Codes which have been blessed by Queen Elizabeth II herself and are protected and under the guidance of our Lord. Whereas zip codes are just daft funny numbers you put in to get to the next page of of a badly designed subscription form that assumes everyone is American. ooh your honour, I put a funny number into a form on a jazz website, will my head be lobbed off using a schimitar as a punishment.... boulderdash! Don't listen to Wazzard Chris... he's using Chin mind jam tactics again... he's a rotter and a bad egg! Beware the man with the moon face and the funny limp. Dio |
| Posted By: Dio Posted On: Aug 15, 2004 Views: 274 | a bit of "she always seems to be talking dirty whenever I come across her." [Rough] Yes, I've had that problem myself mostly with brunnettes. Dio |
| Posted By: Marty Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 260 | RE: For love nor money Oddly enough I know the designer of that site. She also did the designwork of our small town newspaper. I sent her an email this morning to find out why it's so difficult for you to spend money there. I'll let you know how that turns out. |
| Posted By: legion Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 257 | RE: For love nor money 90210 always works for me. They're just going to snail mail you some junk anyway...because the idiots can't figure out how to send their crap by email. |
| Posted By: Big Chris Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 255 | RE: For love nor money I'm in. Great customer service by Steel Kittens, theyve got me signed in for 48 hours as opposed to the regular 24 and given me a code to use for zip code next time. Very nicely done. Thanks for all your help and no I wont be answering the door any time soon...just in case ;) |
| Posted By: Big Chris Posted On: Aug 16, 2004 Views: 245 | Some people are never happy I just dont believe this. Now all the pics come up as bitmaps. Which are huge. I get the save box come up with 'untitled' as the name and always bitmap as the format. No other choice. Of course ive deleted all my temporary internet files and reset the computer. I even deleted the cookies. I go back same thing happens. Ive gone into the temporary internet files before doing this and cant find any of the jpegs at all. It means saving them all as Bitmaps (titleing each one everytime) and then converting them through XP. Which is a pain and theyre still huge. Never had this with any other site, Im more curious than angry as to why this is. |
