Went to view a flat in Coatbridge (
) today. I was 10 minutes late but as it's a reposession sale, I assumed it would be a block viewing and wasn't too worried.The place was locked up when I arrived, so I phoned the estate agency who informed me that the bloke who was doing the viewings had buggered off owing to my tardiness. When I pointed out that I was only 10 minutes late and did they really expect me to be in and out within 10 mins of the appointment time anyway, the bint on the other end of the line's response was along the lines of "Well, it's only a 1 bed flat."
I was fucking apoplectic at this response but somehow resisted the oppertunity to tell the condescending midden where to go. I asked if they could arrange for the agent to come round with the keys later in the afternoon, only to be given a point blank "no" in reply. Nor did she offer to reschedule the viewing later in the week.
They can stick their fucking flat, unhelpful c'nts.

Ash tonight at the QMU.
As my body is still a wreck from the weekend, I reckon I'll be standing up the back nursing a pint throughout.

I have to agree with you on that one.
I hate it when I clean the kitchen and then half an hour later it's all messed up again because the other half has made his lunch.
That and putting sharp knives in the sink.
Or after cleaning dishes not then cleaning down the sink and basin.
Yes,that is another pet hate of mine. Even worse is not rinsing the bath out after having a shower.
Bloody hell!! As I tend to do all these things, remind me never to live with a woman. I mean, imagine having the cheek to cook lunch in the kitchen.
As for not rinsing the bath out after having a shower, it's not necessary for blokes as we don't leave the fecking plughole clogged up with hairs after every shower.

Bloc Party at the Barras next week, Ash at the QMU, Jarvis Cocker at the ABC, Malcolm Middleton at Classic Grand in March, Maximo Park at the Barras in May and last but by no means least, Muse at Wembley.
With a few more additions, that's looking like a rather good line up.
Edit: Bloc Party's not for a fortnight.

Ah that was a great long lie.
How was work today?
Magic.
You missing us yet?
Who negotiates your pay rises etc? It bothers me that folk moan about unions and don't join them but will greatfully accept anything they have managed to negotiate on their members' behalf. The non-members get the same benefits. Exclude them I say!
Or in the case of the PCS, wave their arms about then accept whatever pitiful pish the government (Scottish Executive in my case) proposes regardless. They claim a "victory" on public service pensions but existing pension rights for civil servants are only guarenteed until 2012 and will doubtless be raided long before then.
There has always been two sides to this argument and there always will be.I'm a civil servant and at work today but don't consider myself to be a scab. Don't believe (and never have) that striking has ever resolved anything for civil servants and only goes to ensure that those who need our services (Jobcentre Plus) suffer.
Correct, as I've been saying to my workmates ever since the ballot was announced.
Wrongly, civil servants are perceived as overpaid, underworked eejits when in many cases the opposite is true. Only "hands on" public workers such as doctors, nurses, firemen, polis, teachers and to a lesser estent, social workers, enjoy any support from the public at large.
The John Martin of P&B.Right down to the chiselled good looks.

Lazy fuckers getting a day off (admittedly unpaid) tomorrow when they didn't bother voting in the strike ballot and will be lying in bed doing sod all instead of attending pickets, rallies etc.
Yes, I could also have a day off if I thought I'd gain anything by joining our pathetic excusue for a union, but that's not the point. 'Mon tha scabs!

It'll be affordability thats screwed you.
HBOS used affordability just more detailed hence the lower borrowing.
If that's the case, hopefully they can tell me what lesser amount they'd be prepared to lend me at the moment then. The whole attraction of going with Northern Rock was the excta unsecured loan they offer on top of the mortgage. That was to be used to wipe all my existing debt.
One way or another, there's no way I'm waiting 2+ years to clear my debt before buying, as no doubt the growth in house prices will continue to outstrip the growth in my earnings.
I'm f*cked off paying other people's mortgages and the idea of moving back to my parents' in order to clrar my loan and credit card more quickly is about as appealing as joining the forces in Iraq.

Did they ask you for you're monthly outgoings? If so it may have been worked out on an affordablility calculator. If they do it that way they don't always check you're credit, they reject you before it gets to credit checking stage as they deem you can't afford the payments.
Christ only been back at work three mornings and it's like I never left!
Nah. I didn't have to give details of my outgoings other than loan commitments.
HBOS, on the other hand, asked me about my outgoings including utilities, mobile bills, broadband etc. yet still saw fit to offer me a mortgage, albeit less than I'd need.
I'll hopefully find out what they have to say tomorrow.

I've had my application for a Mortgage agreement in principle declined without any explanation by Northern Rock. The fuckers better call me back tomorrow with an explanation, as I only went through them as they lend up to 4 times your salary. I got a written "mortgage promise" from HBOS a couple of months back based upon 3.5 times my salary after all the credit checks so bad credit can't be the problem.
On the bright side, some cheeky c**t has got in and arranged a survey on the flat I fancied anyway so, as it's on for a fixed price, I would have been screwed regardless.

I came home from work today to find that I've no running water. Strange, as there was plenty at 8am. No one's been in the flat since I left today.
The upstairs neigbour's had no problems with his water, and the lassie acorss the hall's too busy getting shagged to answer her door. If she's not getting shagged then whatever telly program she's watching has a vary unusual soundtrack of American accented coversation and the sounds of shagging going on simultaneously.
Just to compound matters, the landlord's on holiday and gets back in the early hours of the morning. He's getting a wee phone call tomorrow morning and then I'll f**k off to my parents' until he gets it sorted.

Fucking storage heating system in my new flat is a wee bit tempremental. Or maybe it's just me.

I had the cold last wek and I'm still expelling interestingly coloured gunk from my sinuses every wee while. On the bright side, I can now speak without sounding as if I have a borken nose.

Arab Strap last night was superb. One of the best gigs I've ever seen, especially thanks to the sense of occasion.
I only knew perahps half of the songs they played but the ones I didn't know were exceptionally good.
Either "The First Big Weekend" with added balloons falling from the ceiling, or the acoustic version of "The Shy Retirer" which closed the set, were my favourite moments. Twas lump in the throat stuff.
Shame I picked their last ever gig as my first.

Was good to hear the old stuff aswell though. They can't do wrong for me though, I;d have loved it no matter what they played I'd expect. would have liked to see a few more new songs aswell, namely 'News + Tributes' and 'Thursday. Can't believe they didn't play First day either. As I say though, thoroughly enjoyed myself, Howling Bells were good too.
Dunno. I saw them at Leeds festival last summer and thought the set was far better, despite only being 45 mins long. That might have been down to the copious amounts of cider I'd consumed, along with poppers than some random chaps beside me kindly donated.

Futureheads were a wee bit disappointing tonight. Only played for an hour and there was too little of the new stuff, which I like. Howling Bells were the support and were excellent.
Still, Morrissey, Magic Numbers and Arab Strap next weekend should be a wee bit good.

Futureheads tonight at the ABC.
Should be fun as I'm off to the pub to watch the 2nd half of Hibs-Celtic then the Man U-Chelski game beforehand.

Sorry - thanks mate.
Suppose the bright lights of the big city might have been a bit of a shock to you and your lady wife. I'll let you off.

I once found a tenner hanging out of an ATM when I went to use it but no card. Of no bearing to this at all, but thought I'd share it anyway.
Was out in Glasgow a couple of years ago and a halfwit middle aged couple in front of us in the queue were having issues with the cash amchine. After much huffing and puffing, they eventually mananged to withdraw a fair wedge of cash, at least £80-100, but walked away from the machine instead of pocketing it.
I ran after them, and handed the cash to the husband. The ugly glaikit c*nt didn't even say thanks.

I'm not happy that they don't pronounce their name 'the heid-rons'. You don't say polyheadron after all, or at least I don't.
I'm afraid they don't pronounce it "heid-ron".
Would love to give my oopionion on the gig but I was guttered. Did enjoy me night though.

Good luck with the Polis.
I know where I'd rather be.

Similar vein - old women who having been in a queue for a cash machine, when it gets to their turn - surprise, surprise they haven't got their card out. Handbag on keypad, much rummaging, find purse, extract card, put it in the wrong way round (several times), enter number wrongly (at least twice), take a balance slip, ponder over balance slip and are too late to take the "do you wish to make another transaction" option. Go through the card routine again, take cash + receipt option (they don't trust the machine), get up the withdraw cash options, take 20 seconds to make their mind up and then invaribaly hit £10 (how they must hate not being able to take a fiver). They then withdraw their card and get a bit flustered when their tenner doesn't instantly appear. When they do get their tenner, they then insist in wrapping it around their cashline card, burying them both deep inside their purse, which is then buried deep inside their handbag and the handbag is then firmly zipped. They then study the cashline machine for 10 - 15 seconds as if it is about to either spew out more money or say "Thank you for your custom, do call again". When neither of these unlikely occurances materialises, they somewhat reluctantly drag themselves away from the front of the machine, accompanied by the cry "Ho, Missus you've forgotten your receipt". At this point they turn to face the friendly voice who has tried to be helpful and give them a look which suggests they have just commited a criminal offence. This has the effect on the individual of making them wish they had just booted the old bag in the groin and nicked her tenner.
Old women at cash machines -
This affects women of all ages im my experience. Also see the automatic ticket machines at Glasgow Central for similar nonsense.

My fucking MP3 player appears to be fucked.
Tried downloading all sorts of updates from Creative's site to no avail. The warranty's up so I'm well snookered.
