I am in a protracted dispute with a rip-off-artist trader. Most recently I raised a small claim against him in his local court, a case which he lost. The claim addressed only one of the elements of...

There is some sort of cycle

that dictates you will find apparently unconnected things breaking down in groups all within days if not hours. It seems I am exactly there in my cycle. One of the bits that has me stumped is that my...

Airline ratings - ever wondered

Not really a question but I recently provided feedback on an airline which is highly rated by Skytrax, to whom I sent my comments. Imagine my surprise when they published only the positives and left...
