    What the heck is it with consumer lending companies? I have paid off a dozen auto loans and two mortgages, but only six of the auto loans show up on my credit report. And none of the mortgages do. Who do I contact to fix this? Some of the consumer lending agencies don't even exist anymore.

    Miss a payment and they're all over you. Pay off a loan for close to a million dollars and they don't even mention it to the credit bureaus. Barstewards.

    What is it with British people? I had dinner with a British couple today and they chased their peas around all evening. First of all, who orders a dish with peas? Secondly, they used the wrong side of their forks. I couldn't believe it. Hey, bozos, there's a reason why forks are concave on one side...it's so you can scoop up whatever the hell you are trying to eat! These geniuses skewered a peice of meat at the bottom and then tried to pile the peas over it, ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE FREAKING FORK. Still, it was entertaining, at least for a while.

    My business partner and I exchanged looks and didn't say anything. However, we did finish our food (admittedly, we didn't order freakin' peas) a good 15 minutes early and then had to edure them waffling on and on about some 15th century cathedral and who's buried behind the abbey. Who cares??!! They're dead. As in, no good to us anymore. As in, they won't be helping you with the network architecture you want to discuss.

    Oh well, since we finished eating first, we got to drink more. That might explain my post. Whatever. No more face to face meetings with people with bad teeth. I am signing up for one of those web-based meeting/whiteboard accounts/remote conference thingamajigs.

    Hic! Mebbe. But those Brits...how can a grown human being use the wrong side of a fork? Especially for peas? Very important question, my friend.

    I sort of see your point. I get pissed when people use the wrong side of chop sticks. Cant they tell that the rice goes on the inside of the two of them?

    Chopsticks are a pain to use. Especially with soup.

    You slurp soup with an oversized spoon.

    I also eat "continental" style, stuff like that happens when both your parents are Europeans.

    I actually prefer chopsticks. D@mn, maybe I have lived here too long...

    Uh...technically that would be osmosis not diffusion although they are very closely related biological processes!!

    Oh and TVR, I have to agree with Steve on this one, why whine about how someone eats their dinner, especially on an international forum such as this?????

    Do you Brits cut with the knife in your left or right hand???

    Over here, it seems to be that most Americans insist on cutting with the right hand, then switching the fork into the right hand to eat. What a waste of time and energy.

    I say leave that fork in your left hand where it belongs, and learn to eat like a leftie.

    Go figure eh ?

    One of my clients who has had the aggregate total of over $1MM of cars outstanding on lease at any given time in a year with the same leasing company for the last 10 years, has no record of this on his bureau. Apparently XYZ Leasing can't be bothered to send in reports.

    I go to get him another unit with a different lease company that has rates about one percent less and they were balking at approving it without more information. Even though the bureau shows him paying 6 figure AMEX baalnces off in full every month for the last 15 years.....etc....etc....etc....just no car leases on file.

    Here's where it gets interesting....I told them to call XYZ leasing and they said we can't do that....it has to be on the bureau.

    That was the last deal I ever sent to that company.......

    One practice that pisses me off is that banks will look at your debt ratios BEFORE giving you a loan and not take into consideration what your ratios would be AFTER you pay off items (Like with a home eqity loan).

    I tried to get a $75K business loan against one of my properties that is worth $280K and I own it outright. All of the banks came back with "We don't loan on rental properties"! They are all out to lunch in my book. I really hate banks at times. Piss on 'em!

    You better learn to suck it up if this was a customer. If not, hire a person that will not get frustrated while watching a client eat peas. You can kiss off your customer base in the long-run without face to face meetings. This is the place where you build relationships with people that actually want YOUR company!

    PS: Go dine with Chinese businessmen that speak very little English and slop down huge wads of noodles with half of it on their suits....Go eat with an American with bad table manners who will only talk with their mouth full of food and blow their nose at the dinner table until you wanna puke! It could be a lot worse, so quit your complaining my friend!..........You need a kart day with me to blow off some steam!

    Did you know that in WWII that the German spies were caught by British intelligence because they didn't hold the fork the way the Brits do. Think about it............your lives could be different today.

    Im British and very proud of it...............

    Let's move on to something worthy of discussion.

    Cheers!!

    I enjoy discussing cars and politics but I don't need to pay to do it. The value isn't there for me. And I will be damned if I am going to pay to have people insult me or my religion. That's why I don't subscribe. It's not the money, it's the principle. Now, let's get back on topic.
