So, Tanks.
What'as you favourite Tank?

Alt: What's your least favourite Tank?

AltAlt: Call me bent for starting a thread about tanks.



I reckon my favourite, had it ever been made would have been the Ratte, but I'll plump for the Soviet IS3. Piccies will be in replies.

Interestingly(or not)
The reason they are called Tanks is because they were referred to as water tanks when first being made, for security purposes, also the early ones looked a lot like water tanks.

I do quite like a Leopard II
I once had an airfix model of one painted black with chrome bits, it was sexeh.

I believe I still have a remote controlled MIA1 Abrams about the place, but the gearbox is a bit knackered.

I managed to pay my credit card bill twice
because I'm an idiot, so I've just called Tesco and they are sending me a check for the amount I'm currently in credit, but it's going to take 10 to 14 days for me to get it.

Which is shit, but since it's my own fault I can't really complain too much.

Ouch
Tesco fucked me over by charging me for non-payment after deciding my D/D setup was not setup any more. Cunts

I'm trying to cancel an order with Sendit.com.
As I ordered a shedload of cheap DVDs and CDs about two months ago, before realising that they've changed their postage policy and now charge £1.99 per item. I quickly realised that although the items I wanted may have been a little more expensive on Play.com, the free postage negated the cheaper cost per item of Sendit. So I didn't process the order, and now get regular email reminders from them saying that my order is still waiting to be completed.

Fuck me, it's difficult. No sign of the 'remove item' flag their 'help' page keeps referring to, and if I click the next page on the order summary it's the confirm order page, which I'm reluctant to do as i don't know whether that will automatically place the order or not which means fannying around with returns. Even trying to email them to ask how to cancel the order took me half an hour.

I'm also waiting for a reply from Vodafone as the supposed upgrade handset I got the other month is nothing of the sort, and I appear to be paying VAT on top of the price plan when my account says it's included. Fucking shitcunts.

I've never even heard of them
I use HMV, amazon or play - often HMV as they still give me automatic student discount, for some reason...
(berk, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:39, Reply)

I've used Sendit a few times
as they do tend to undercut everyone else on some things, but the change in postage policy has led me to think 'maybe not in the future'.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:41, Reply)

I nearly always buy CDs second hand off Amazon
usually through zoverstocks, but sometimes others.

And DVDs I usually only buy from Tesco or Sainsburys when they are 3 or 4 quid.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:43, Reply)

I very rarely buy DVDs on release
unless it's something I really want to see and can't wait the four months or so before they reduce the price.

are you sure they aren't sending you a cheque?

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:39, Reply)

No, they are being american and sending me a check
When I recieve it I will be english and pay my cheque into the bank.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:40, Reply)

good man
I frequently find that I will pay off my credit card around the time that the minimum payment comes out, leaving me with £5 in credit in my card.

That is annoying.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:41, Reply)

You should just disable the direct debit
and make your payments manually.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 6 Sep 2011, 16:43, Reply)

There is this as well.
Mind you, our local Chinese takeaway doesn't take card or cheque payments, which is a bit of a pain in the arse when you fancy one and have to drive to the bank to get money out.

It's crap as the takeaway is a two minute walk, if that
