Fookie, whatsit, bum cracks!

Fooking Pinnacle and their crapinastisity!

"We'll give you a refund" - "Go ahead and reorder and we'll make sure you get the sama package"

well, that was bollox!

Today, my neighbour ... yes, UPS once again delivered to a neighbour, handed me a package. It was not, as expected, the software plus all the extra items I ordered, no, it was only the software. According to the paperwork, that was all I ordered!

I checked back and, sure enough, that was what the email confirmation said as well, 'that's weird' I thought myself.

So, I did some checking in the only way I could. I checked my browsing history and cache in Firefox for the time and date of my order and there is was, a still active website on the Pinnacle server clearly advertising what I had ordered as being the software plus around half a dozen other items yet, on checking, when one clicks on 'buy now' the description reduces to 'Boxed item'. It totally is not clear that the order has been reduced from that advertised (visually) to that actually being offered. The button is the self same one I clicked previously in order to receive my order ... you know, the one UPS handed to the Krays of my street. No, actually, that's insulting the Krays. So, I had every reason to expect to receive what I had been sold.

You may imagine, I am a little but fooking fooked off!

Citroen called earlier too ... the car will be at the dealership Friday morning ... whether it is in time for me to collect it or not they cannot say, only that the dealership will have it in the morning. They have given me a compensatory, good will gesture. It is one of those 'experience day' things so we need to choose which we want to do when we get it ... quite like the idea of the makeover and photo session.

My sim has been deading itself laterly ... my phone just keeps telling me there is no card in it and then there is and not and so forth. I call Virgin Mobile .... yes, they can swap that for me ... they do need to kill the existing one totally of course so I won't be able to use my phone at all oh, it may also take several days for the new one to arrive, quite possibly early next week!

So, I am without phone number now. I do still have a mobile to use and take with me, some will and some won't have the number of that. If someone wants it and doesn't yet have it, please text Deej for it or call me on the landline. Normal service will resume with my normal number as soon as possible.


Very busy day tomorrow, most of the morning will be really boring :-(

Roll on Friday

actually, i hang around with the 'Duston' crowd and to be honest James doesn't say much about sean and daisy. As much as we talk about it sometimes, Sean is there and he doesn't say anything. James is actually being ok with it, I spoke to him about it.

Budget Day

So, we have the ‘Let’s buy a whole host of gullible voters day’ with George Osborne. No doubt we’ll be told how employment is rising, how the deficit is falling, how we’re all so much better off now than we were (compared to what?). We’ll be told that there are still tough times ahead but that only a Conservative government can steer us through them. It will be pointed out how inflation remains low, how not raising duty on fuel has helped everyone as is seen by the current lower prices at the pumps (it’s going up again George). In short, I should listen to this budget later and decide to vote Conservative in May but, I won’t. Labour certainly did nothing to avoid the mess the country got in but they didn’t cause it. They made the mistake of trying to be too conservative, allowing high finance the freedom to cause a catastrophic cock up for which they took zero responsibility. They made the mistake of allowing Gordon Brown to take the job of Prime Minister, one for which he is totally...

The soundtrack of my life

Hmm, life has this way of bringing about changes

Past couple of weeks we have had Adam take over as Zoey’s PA and an excellent job he is making of it, better already than anyone else before him but then, I knew he would be and he was, after all, my first choice when I was first able to get a PA for her, he just wasn’t available! Nearly a week ago now our Danny turned up rather early! He’s doing fine though and a healthy 8lbs 7oz. I am not sure just which way round it is but suspect that each time I look at Sean I see Danny! Daisy is boob feeding and managing really well though, somehow I can’t help but wonder how the hell she’s managing to stay awake? I am a very lucky guy to now have 4 wonderful grandchildren and so need a picture of them all together, one day, when they are all that much older, I’d love to do a trip with  them all to Disney, it’ll be totally magical to see their faces light up! Perhaps I need to buy more lottery tickets? Maybe I should stop buying lottery tickets? Adam has been add...
