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 ...

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...

There are some funny people in this world!

Earlier on this year someone added me on Facebook. Quite soon she was adding many people I knew. We were starting to wonder who this was as there was so little on her profile. To be on the safe side and, suspecting it may be someone pretending to be someone else, I was careful what I wrote to them. Eventually, it did become very obvious it was someone faking a profile. I challenged them to stay if they wanted but, today they deleted the profile. I have never done anything to upset this person, I just exist. She added me and my family just to take the piss out of us and to try and get extra ammunition to use against my friends, it is all rather sad. Speaking of sad … Look, I fully understand that James has issues, what they are, I don’t have a clue but he has them and it is for Daisy and him to sort out. I think Daisy would have liked to sort it out between them but, it seems, they are going to have to take the legal route. I totally get all that. I don’t like it but – such is life....
