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.

You Bloody Idiot

I had a really enjoyable time in Meltham with Stan and Pete, even that walk against the wind up the pub on Saturday evening in a blizzard was fun. On the way there I thought it’d be fun to take some pictures of the car in the snow. I had not realised just how windy it was, I seriously thought my door was stuck when I tried to open it but it was just being pressurised by the forces outside. I am lucky really the wind had not been behind me else the door would have been ripped off. On the way back on Sunday I paid a visit to Sue in Sheffield. I like Sue and she is a great conversationalist. The journey was not without incident as the satnav kept failing and crashing and just became useless. I eventually tracked the problem down to the loudspeaker connection for the mount and once I’d removed that it was stable and guided me well to Sue’s door. I am really happy to report that the steroid injection I had last week as helped ease my pain. I still have the pain but it is not restricting me ...

2 Weeks in

Amazing as it seems I am two weeks through my visit here. Some might be getting a little confused about why I am here. There is only one important reason and that is to be with Dennis. This isn’t a vacation to me, it’s just about having to travel to the Philippines because it is where Dennis happens to be. I’m still in very regular contact with home dealing with daily issues, the council, social services and so on. I am geographically away from it but technically still connected. Obviously it’s cool to wander into Manila and see the place, travel in a Jeepney and so on. Wandering around the malls is fun but it is who I am with rather than where I am that matters most to me. Highlights for me, apart from every second I spend with Dennis have to be meeting family and friends.         Veronica and her family and Imee of course who has kept me entertained for hours with conversation about anything and everything     Ireneo too tries real hard wit...

Not a good day

Today is a very emotional one for me. I have no idea why that would be the case but apparently it is. For a day that had nothing pre-arranged this one has turned out quite busy. First, I agreed to take Matt for breakfast though I wasn't really hungry. He was being quite argumentative in the morning about some thing or other, I don't recall what exactly but some matter of politics where he was going to argue the toss whilst knowing little or nothing about it. But, even so, I was quite upbeat as Jermaine had gone to school on time ... no, scrub that, i was upbeat until I yet again had to tell Zoey to get her arse out of her room, downstairs, do her chores and get to school, that is when this day started to go downward. I spent way too much money on a new doorbell, true, we needed one but not one that cost nearly £50! This too has not helped. I went to see a garage that can fit parking sensors to my car, all well and good but they needed me to supply paint to match the circles up ...
