PrecariousNuts

Works fine for me, not the best idea leaving it till the last minute though.

Makaveli

Ronaldo7

Once you fill in your details and click continue. It crashes. I cant believe their site is not working. Damn.

Ye your totally right but it has been like this since Friday. The person doing it does not want to pay 60 euro for a late application instead of 30 euro. Ya know?

Ronaldo7

Still not working and the cao dont really care. Oh well, im not paying 60 euro for a late fee. I have been trying non stop since friday and even sent them screen shots.

With twenty five minutes to go i sent in my cao!GO!!!!!Well ronaldo it looks like you'll have to be paying the 60 euro unless you get a miracle in the next twenty five minutes!If your read the white bit at the start of the manual the cao have as many disclaimers as yer average stocks&shares brochure.They have themselves covered from every angle-so its always your fault and never theirs if they screw it up.

Oh my god, did you pay by credit card? If you did, then what the **** is wrong with my pc?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO please tell me u didnt pay by credit card...

PS: Its until 5pm tmro...

orangerooster

I payed by form so relax-im sure your not alone in this hell.Its pretty much the worst thing that could happen-you may sort it quickstyle.As far as I know the CAO said they cant help you at the weekend cause all there middle aged staff have to go get pissed to take their minds off fuffilling the dreams of youngsters.

Ronaldo7

Im telling you man, there gonna **** me off like a tick on a dog. They dont care about me or my stupid application. I emailed them today and they wrote back telling me to try again and their site is "now working". Bull****. I am going to try my best to pay 30 euro only. If they expect me to pay 60 euro, ill ****ing go nuts at them. I mean its not my fault their site is ****ed. I personally think its a scam...

orangerooster

It is true that the cao have a lot to gain in a scam-the tiredness induced conspiracy theory starts here!

LOL damn right man. I wonder....is it just me?

Giblet

It worked fine in my house today at about 10pm, paying by credit card worked.

BigEejit

Did you try to get it working on someone elses computer? .. is it Internet Explorer only? did you try another browser? ...

Ronaldo7

ye i tried and still no luck. I dont get it...its so weird.

orangerooster

Maybe the credit card was dodgey-in any case unless you got it working by now its too late.

Ronaldo7

I got it. But not by using their ****ty ****ed up web site. Some nice dude there took my details in an email and set it up for me, so overall im happy. yay for me. Seriously though, i feel sorry for the late applicants who weren't as naggy as me.
