A Canadian man is complaining after he was left broken-hearted when his girlfriend broke up with him - because she found suggestive text messages on his mobile phone. The only problem was, he hadn’t written them; they came pre-loaded on the phone.
The Winnipeg man is calling for the phones to be recalled, after his girlfriend of two and a half years dumped him after finding text messages saying ‘Booty call,’ ‘Where u at,’ and ‘Be there soon’ stored on his phone.
The messages were generic texts that came pre-installed on the phone, a Samsung device from Virgin Mobile. The man, identified by the Winnipeg Free Press only as ‘Darren P’, says he didn’t even know they wee on there.
‘I said, “You’re being ridiculous.” She said, “No I’m not, here’s the proof,”‘ he told the Free Press.
He called Virgin Mobile to complain, and was told to file a written complaint. He also returned to the store where he bought the phone - where the staff were as surprised as he was to find the cheeky messages on the phone.
.’At first, we didn’t believe him,’ shop assistant Mike Ford told the newspaper. ‘But when we looked at a couple of the same phones he bought, and found they all had the same messages.’
Darren now wants the phones to be recalled and the messages removed, to prevent other from having ‘to go through the hell I’m going through.’
Mmm best without a rocket
A 62-year-old US man was hospitalised after his attempts to gain an extra burst of speed on his sled went rather badly wrong - when a rocket-pack he had strapped to his back exploded.
Officials said the man apparently filled the backpack with petrol and gunpowder and then, wearing a motorcycle helmet, got on the plastic sled.
Reports say he then asked another person to light a wick and then began to sled down a hill, at which point the device exploded.
The man was taken to hospital, where he was in a stable condition with second-degree burns to his face and the right side of his body, as well as possible eye damage.
Police said that they had not filed charges against the man, who they said was known for doing ‘outrageous’ things at sledding events.
Residents in a Warwickshire village are trying to track down a gang of pranksters who defaced a historical statue of their village’s most famous figure - by turning it into Homer Simpson.
The statue of Lord John Scott - a benefactor, landlord and MP who was a well-respected figure in Dunchurch, near Rugby - was Simpsonised on New Year’s Eve, leaving Lord John with yellow skin, a bald head and a pronounced overbite.
The statue of Lord John, who died in 1860, is also dressed in Homer Simpson’s standard uniform of white shirt-sleeved shirt and blue trousers.
Altering the statue has become something of a tradition in recent years - previous pranks have seen it transformed into icons such as Harry Potter, Shrek and Spider-Man.
Residents say that they’d mostly like to find those responsible to congratulate them on the level of detail they achieved - but that they doubt anyone will come forward, fearing they’d get in trouble.
A woman punched through a McDonald’s drive-through window after she became enraged that Chicken McNuggets weren’t available
Police were called on Friday to the restaurant in Toledo, in northwestern Ohio.
Police told The Blade newspaper that 24-year-old Melodi Dushane was treated for injuries, then jailed. She pleaded not guilty to a vandalism charge.
She was released on a recognizance bond and ordered not to have contact with the restaurant.
According to authorities, Dushane became ‘upset that chicken nuggets weren’t available’, with the result that she ‘punched out the drive-through window.’
A manager at the McDonald’s declined Monday to discuss the incident.
I have had a few people ask me about mising paint and spraying panels, so heres a quick guide. Some is lifted from another site but thats just to save time. I normally follow these guides when spraying panels
Thinning for different types of paint products requires different amounts. The general rule of thumb with solvent based paint products is as follows:
1. Etch Primer = 1:1 ratio (1 part paint to 1 part thinner)
2. Primer = 2:1:1 ratio (2 parts paint to 1 part hardener & 1 part thinner)
3. Base Coat = 1:1 ratio (1 part paint to 1 part thinner)
4. Clear coat = 2:1:10% ratio (2 parts paint to 1 part hardener and then add 10% of thinner).
Please note: These are fairly generic ratios. As a customer, you should ask the paint supplier for a technical data sheet for all the types of paint being used, as they carry all of the information required to use these materials i.e. pressure/temp/air-cap/nozzle size, etc.
Bearing in mind that i normally use a low pressure compressor, this is due to doign targetted repair or small areas, i throw it on at 30psi with an even air mix. I would use the same ratios on a high pressure gun if doing a full shell but the key is preparation.
hope this helps someone
