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...

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 ...

Understanding the British

As a nation we are a funny lot. We get through the worries of life with humour. Not always good taste humour and the words 'too soon' are often mentioned! Now, this is not unique to us, many other countries adopt humour to get them through. I am going to show some ideas of humour here, don't shoot me, we're just musing this topic. Moment of silence for the people who agreed to live with shitty roommates because they "wouldn't be spending much time at home anyway" There is going to be a lot of pressure over the next few days to talk to friends and family. Fight it. Stay positive Anyway, you get the picture. Actually, most of those came from the USA. It's terribly British for one person to cough and a whole host of others stare and one person shouts, 'we're all dead now, he's got the virus'. Obviously it's not a joking matter but, without keeping our sense of the ridiculous we would go quite potty. Estimates c...
