Unfortunately, yes I am. My family are devastated. He was 20 years old so he only had a year or 2 left and being crushed by a dildo postman is a horrible way to die.

Id take them to court - Sue the fucking driver

I'm not being humorous, I actually hate the impatient ballbags for killing my Dog. Drove over him and burst him right in-front of my old man. Good thing I wasn't there as I would have fucked the guy up.

Oh shit, I hope you are winding us up, thats f**ked up

I'm still waiting on the perfume and aftershave I ordered my mum and dad last week, how in the hell I am going to get it to them on time is beyond me

My condolences InnocentCriminal.

My family went through a similar thing: our family dog was hit on our driveway (we lived on a farm) by one of the tradesmen that was doing work on the house. Unfortunately she wasn't killed instantly and was in considerable distress, so the tradesman had to hit her over the head with a hammer to finish it - all in front of my mother. It wasn't really their fault, our dog would run out in front of traffic on the driveway everyday - she was going to get hit eventually.

But then a couple of weeks later at a party the builder (he was my age) was laughing about the whole situation in front of me. It cut a bit close to the bone so I punched him out. Dick.

I wish I could say I was but unfortunately I'm not...

... he was almost as old as I was.

I'll forever miss the lil bugger.

damn mate you need to appeal to the court for your lovely dog!!

JUSTICE FOR HIM!!!!

horrible postie!!!!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

was any thing done about your dog? I the postman behind the wheel should have got suspend with no pay for a few weeks at least. if that was my dog that got it, youd bet your ass id be all over R.M not just trying to get a fat pay out but for justice. they can just go around running over peoples dogs and not have a single hint of guilt or remorse about what theyve just done. accident or not.

but for them to not pursue the matter is rediculous - your dog is a part of your family and they wouldnt like it if one of their R.M colleagues ran over one of their family members while on the road so why should it make any difference at all if it was someones pet they ran over??

I doubt the postie was even given a slap on the wrist for it - all he probably did was report the incident to his shift manager, drop the van off at engineering to have it checked for damages and then took the bus home.

what a bunch of fucking scum. i am ashamed to have worked for them in the previous years

 

[InnocentCriminal]

My parents can barely speak to me on the phone so I doubt they've even been able to do anything about it.

I'll hopefully speak to them tonight.

I don't think the postman hung around to say anything.

If he didnt even apologise then Id take the story to the local papers. they cant get away with something like this. but by all means at least give RM a chance to explain themselves first - see if they know who done it and if that individual isnt punished - then take it to the papers.

Or you could just skip the investigation n head straight to the papers. but it will look better on paper if it says you contacted RM and attempted to get to the bottom of it but they were unwilling to help.

(i love shit stirring)

any PR will be negative PR on RMs behalf, running over someones pet and not even attempting to find out who the owners are or report the incident is a blatant disreguard of duty by that postman who also brings even more shame on RM who already have enough bad PR - not only that Animal lovers all over the UK will eat it all up and protest and rally that the postie be bought to justice and show the UK that just because you are a postman that doesnt mean you are above the law.

Surely you can find out his details and report the f*cking w*nker!! Or pay him a visit

the only way their going to find out is if they go to their local sorting office and ask to speak to the shiftmanager and he/she would be able to find out who was doing what route on what day - I dont think you'l be able to get his 'details' other then just his name and even then it could be hard chasing him down as he could be from another office.

Sometimes postmen get asked to go work elsewhere for anything upto a day or a week because their either picking up over time or theres no work for them at their own office and there is elsewhere - so they go where the work takes them. its not always the case though. - that could make the driver that much harder to track through RM who may not be that willing to assist - after all this is RM we're talkin about

 

[InnocentCriminal]

Thanks for the support folks, means a lot.

On a different note. I'm going to bite the bullet and order one of these from the devil himself.

 

[Fourstaff]

Sounds like round about time you should upgrade Enjoy your new upgrade.

I heard white xmas. How much of it is true?

 

[WhiteLotus]

Better fucking not be, I wanna go home on Monday and if it's snowing imma gunna drink over 9000 gallons of beer and piss over the tracks so the train can take me home.

 

[KieX]

I'll drink Cider and start from London working my way upwards. I need deliveries to get here next week!

blah - I wish i held off buying guitar tubes for my amp - could have bought one of these cards for Xfire.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Actually - Ive actually been thinking about selling my 5850 and going for a 6970 when it gets a little cheaper

Pity VAT is going up next year...

 

[FreedomEclipse]

On second thoughts - a word of warning.....if your gonna buy that MSI 5850 - Overclockers have a pretty bad rep and its not just bad aftersales im talking about. I have a friend who has had countless numbers of issues with overclockers.

Not trying to put you off or anything. but if you buy it and it goes wrong, or they send the wrong item, or if they send it late or if they dont have stock despite their website saying they do - you could be in for a difficult ride.

Overclocks can be great - but only if you buy stuff that doesnt break easily and even then there can still be issues between you paying for the item and them dispathing it.

Which is why I described the transaction as buying from the Devil himself. I hate OcUK but I'm prepared to risk it for that price.

 

[MoonPig]

I'll put you off OcUK... and not apologize. Hate them, with reason.

If your willing to pay a little more - get a Novatech branded 5850 for £150 - they usually send a normal 5850 instead of one with their name on it - it depends what they got in stock at the time

 

[InnocentCriminal]

I don't know any else who hates OcUK as much as I do but this is a very hard to refuse offer.

that's like saying "She might be clean, she might not; but she's only £20 and doesn't care whether I wear a rubber"

I hate OCUK more than most, I believe, after they ripped me off over my motherboard plus 4 x £11 postage This was when I spent over £1000 on them in one transaction.
And remember - if a deal sounds too good to be true...

These could be cheap for any reason: It was the top pallet, loads of boxes got wet, maybe the cooler got revised after these were manufactured; I know these things don't happen all over the world but this is OCUK we're on about!

I just don't want to see an Innocent Criminal get ripped off by a real one

Dont do it!!! its a trap!!!

Yea, 2x Asus P5Q motherboards + Crucial ballistix refused for RMA by them and me paying shipping both ways. Thankfully crucial were nice enough to do it for me themselves. But meh, no price is worth that hassle.
