The Crawfords Keep Looking For A Unicorn

I hit the lock button, hear a small click, lights flash red. But then it opens when I try. Thank god its a hire and insured. Next challenge, fill with gas.

So you basically are doing what I am doing, except with the lock button. You lock it with the fob, but then when you check the door, the key in the pocket automatically opens the lock when you touch the handle.

As for going to another door, I think the sensor works on both doors and the trunk of a Mustang. There is no way to check the car is locked with the key on you. There is a red light where the door loock would be on the top of the door. Think it is supposed to blink when locked, but to find that out I would need to read the manual.

Wife and I had a similar problem when we rented a car in Palm Springs last year. It was keyless and we'd never seen one before. We had to get help from the rental people just to show us how to start it.

Invaluable advice, much appreciated.

I'm shortly taking the wife to the Denny's by the hotel. Unfortunately, I'm convening my own court and will fling some judgements out. Has anyone recently wronged you that I can take care of?

[SteveUK]

My court has been convened

I've always been a big fan of their hashbrowns but they're not as good as Waffle House, they have the best. If you see a Waffle House (unlikely) don't pass up the chance. A southern institution.

Could you do a final determination that the only court of last resort and final word on anything, is the sole remit of the Intergalactic Quatloos Court of Bun Dogs?
And give Karl Koenigs another DUI.

Tom Crawford's daughter, Amanda Pike is desperately touting the 'Great British Mortgage Scandal' film of Michael O' Bollox. Apparently the Crawford family feature in it along with two other cases (any ideas who?). She's says it's about banks who target the "venerable". That's a new one on me, I thought banks went after the impecunious rather than venerated religious people.

We need your help, to help some friends, but in return it will hopefully help other families like ours and in time we hope It will help stop unlawful evictions altogether.

We really need your help! you know me by now this may be a little long, but I'd be so grateful if you could bare with me and read this. Its purely to help people. A link to our official sharing group and this post so that you can share is at the very end of this post, it's only 2 clicks to do a good thing and lord knows it's nice to be nice isn't it?

A film called the TGBMS ( The Great British Mortgage Swindle) is finally being show nation wide in cinemas up and down the UK along with internationally, how AMAZING is that!? It has been taken on by a major distributor here AND in America as well.

Watch the trailer here....
https://www.a-fp.net/cinema-on-demand-box-office/…
If you have seen it previously during it's trial viewings I'm told its changed a lot.

It's currently being advertised in HMV stores up and down the country, you can also purchase your very own copy to watch at home there too, along with on Amazon, cool huh!
All views will help it reach a wider audience and get it released in more countries and places, it's all very exciting and what a good cause! plus you guys have been involved directly in our story that features heavily in the film right from the very start

The makers Michael O'Bernicia and Michael O'Deira have worked tirelessly out of the goodness of their hearts, to the detriment of their families to make this, it has taken them years and many many hours of work, all to help stop the awful and devastating act of unlawful evictions, victims of a really serious crime. They didn't have to do this, they just wanted to, how kind is that.

All we need to do to help is share the information about the film and help get it seen.

The premier is in Nottingham on Saturday and from there it will be rolled out in various cinemas, more information can be found on the TGBMS page ( I will add some links at the end of this as to where you can find showings and how you can snag your own copy) every view really will help.

The film contains Three stories. One of which is ours
My parents are still homeless, this is not something I am ashamed of as it isn't their fault, the people that stole their homes are the ones who ought to be ashamed, however they won't be, they enjoy what they do and target the venerable, imagine waking up tomorrow having fully paid your mortgage and finding yourself on the street with all the little nick nacks you've collected and cherished throughout the years totally stolen from you. What would you do? what would your Mum and Dad do?

Some people have no one, what does the future hold for our children if this continues?

Helping to share or watch this film is just a tiny thing we can all do to try and help innocent people like my Mum and Dad, Please know it doesn't just effect the victims of these crimes, but their family too, Imagine standing on a street in the cold, watching this happen to your parents or family, maybe even your friends, because take it from someone with experience, the look in their eyes, the pain they are in will haunt you for the rest of your life.

So PLEASE from me, share this film in as many groups as you can, to your own friend circles and go and see it or buy a copy yourself, who knows maybe this type of documentary type film isn't your bag, but by supporting it in this small way you are doing so much to help people that really need it.

Finally I just want to thank both Michael's ( and their families for their sacrifices) for all they have done with this you truly are appreciated more then you know. You've done a good thing and we need more yous in the world, I'm proud to know you!

Much love and thanks to you all :-*

I guess she believes M of B's assertion that the profits will fund a new house for her parents.

[grixit]

My parents are still homeless, this is not something I am ashamed of as it isn't their fault, the people that stole their homes are the ones who ought to be ashamed

Not "home" but "homes"? Is that a typo, or were the quatloosians who suspected that the debt would consume Sue's inheritance as well correct?

along with internationally,

No it isn't

No it hasn't.

Out of interest, how easy/difficult is it to get a DVD listed on Amazon? Even some cobbled together youtube videos like this one?

Last week I bumped into an old friend of mine who had been working for a firm of solicitors. She had recently moved back to my town after working for the firm in Nottingham that specialises in accident and medical claims. Now she is not a solicitor but was employed to interview new claims, take notes and pass them up the chain to a solicitor to see is there was a claim to be made, “no win no fee”.
To cut a long story short I mentioned that Nott’s was a hotbed for the freeman movement and had she come across any? She had not but was intrigued so I went on to tell her about the likes of Colon and Crawford.
It turns out that she had heard of Tom as he had been interviewed by one of the assessors at her firm in relation to a medical claim for negligence. She remembers him because he was never passed on to a solicitor as it was deemed there was no claim to be had. It was then that the phone calls and letters started to pour in demanding why they would not take on his case. The letters, in her words were demands set out in a questionnaire type format demanding they answer every point he made. Although he was told repeatedly not to ring or write to them as they could not help, he carried on for most of 2013.
There is no public record to link too of course but it does sound like him.
Oh and they were not the only firm he had approached.

It's quite easy. Amazon take a cut for listing and distributing, there are costs related to the packaging requirements and you also have to pay in addition what are effectively warehousing fees based on square area the stock will take up if you want a Sold by Amazon product listing.

First the onesie, now this!

Amazon has a long history of listing self-published fiction novels and other such dreck. So they have no real quality standards.

Your "venerable" parents are still homeless because they didn't pay back the money they borrowed to purchase Crawford Castle, Amanda. They only paid the interest which was due, they didn't reduce the principal debt at all. In fact they added to it by various periods of arrears. They could have continued paying the interest only for a hundred years, and they would still have owed the principal (the sum they borrowed at the beginning).

Your parents are still homeless because they tried to blame the bank for their own short-sightedness. Your father in particular is greedy, stupid and dishonest. He knew he hadn't paid the principal debt, he admitted that on GOODF several years ago while asking for ideas to wriggle out of his promise. Your father thought that if he made a really big fuss, persuaded mobs to surround the house, he could bully the bank into backing down. He got what he deserved.

My mum and dad paid their debts honestly, and saved for their retirement. They're fine, thanks for asking.

That wouldn't be a surprise. In one of his old YT videos he alleged that he had been very ill and suggested something along the lines that "it wasn't because of the cancer, it was caused by the treatment that the doctors gave me". In Tom's victim mentality that is just a short step to seeking compensation for medical negligence - especially when you owe a bundle on your mortgage.

Here we go - at 01.54 ... All the surgeons fault.

Here we go - at 01.54 ... All the surgeons fault.

Interesting - presumable he had a radical prostatectomy which is a lengthy (4 hours?) operation and not without risks or possible side effects. The way he worded his comment he sounded like he had at least one further surgery, which IMHO would make him very unlucky.

A radical prostatectomy is a major operation, and as with all major surgery there are some risks involved. These include:

bleeding during or soon after the operation and possibly needing a blood transfusion, but this is uncommon
injury to nearby tissue, including the bowel, blood vessels, nerves and pelvic floor muscles
blood clots in the lower leg that could travel to the lung (less than two out of every 100 men)
infection (about one to five out of every 100 men)
problems caused by the anaesthetic, but serious problems are rare.

https://prostatecanceruk.org/prostate-i ... ts/surgery

None of those would automatically involve further surgery and two general anaesthetics within a short time period is avoided wherever possible. Like I said, that's very unlucky.
