It's mothers house I'm renting from her but I told her the other night I wasn't re-newing my lease at the end of February as I'm moving in to Glasgow.
She's now been told to phone BT and make sure they don't take any money on the 15th and to cancel the order.
As you say, c'nts!
As sensible course of action, methinks. Make sure the bank cancel the DD instruction too, as despite having no record of the order, their billing system will no doubt remember to take payment.
Where are you off to in Glasgow btw?

b*****ds.
They've no record of the order so I've wasted a day of my holidays to wait in for f**k all.
Edited to add: Yeah looks like you have won Xbass, well done old bean!
BT are c'nts.
Mobile broadband has been a godsend, as I now have no reason to take their shitty service despite being in a non cable area.
Once again, c'nts.
Do yourself a favour and take a phone/broadband/telly package with Virgin intead.

Don't know how to do the wee "code" box, but this translates as:-
"I'm a miserable b*****d who grudges paying for a taxi and won't pay a delivery charge"
B)Correct on both counts.
What car do you drive again btw?

It's only going to get worse in the supermarkets at this time of year. Don't they know how to order their food online.
In fairness, I've never used online shopping either.
Yomp either 10 minutes to Asda or 20 minutes to Morrisons twice a month, fill 65 litre rucksack with food (after paying, before anyone cracks any jokes) then merrily yomp back home. Job done.
I try to use my local butcher's and a fishmonger's in town as much as possible too. That said, if I had a family, I'd definitely shop online.

Oh no. Morrisons always resembles 28 Days Later on a Sunday...take it from someone who worked there for a year of Sundays!
Twas more like Shaun of the Dead actually.
I was considering barricading myself in the drink aisle, hurling a succesion of empty Stella cans at my fellow shoppers for self defence.

I've just endured a trip to a well known supermarket chain, endorsed by Richard Hammond. Every fucking zoomer in south Glasgow seems to be magnetically dawn to said supermarket on a Sunday.
I thought Asda was untouchcable in terms of the sheer numbers of human wreckage who shop there, but I may have to reconsider.

Thats a bit harsh on Larkhall, wishaw is a stinkhole
Wishaw: A slightly skankier Airdrie.
Larkhall: A slightly skankier Shotts.
Besides, each trip to the Butcher's is like a game of Russian Roulette in Wishaw, which keeps things lively.
That's one for the younger posters to look up, byraway.

To people that have said Larkhall: Have you actually been before or are you just going by reputation?
Yes, I have visited.
It's certainly not the worst place in Scotland, but it is thoroughly depressing, as are most towns of this size in central/western Scotland, in fairness.
I'd sooner live in Motherwell, Wishaw, Airdrie or, God forbid, Bellshill before I'd consider Larkhall.

Motherwel has went downhill over the last twenty years especially if you compare it to Hamilton.I remember both towns being quite similar when the Craig was open.
I'm reliably informed (well, by my maw) that Motherwell town centre was pretty good for shopping until the mid 80s or so. I recall it being a shithole for as long as I can remember though, which is going back to around 1990.
The town centre reminds me of Coatbridge in the late 80s.
Hamilton has always been that bit nicer then the other Lanarkshire towns, but the town centre has hit the skids in recent years, no doubt as a result of the East Kilbride centre expansion.
Bizzarely, folk from EK always used to moan that Hamilton got far more investment from SLC.
I feel I have to stick up for Coatbridge too. Aye, the town centre is a bit shite, but who would drink, eat or shop there when there are 6 trains an hour to Glasgow over two lines, with a journey as short as 20 mins?
The rest of the town has come on leaps and bounds from the pockmarked post-industrial hole of 20 years ago.

Something that is starting to really get on my tits is when I pop in the wee shop (co-op)after I get off the bus and pick up something from either the fridge or freezer, then make my way to the till to pay, only for there to be one till on, despite there being a huge fucking queue. When there is a queue one of the other muppets that work there are supposed to open up another till, to help folk get served quicker, but whenever I'm holding something relatively cold (or fucking freezing) in my hand, these b*****ds just never seem to do what they are meant to
:angry: If I've got something that isn't cold in my hand, every single time they open up another till. 
Its a conspiracy, I tell ye
What the f'ck is it with Co-Ops?
Every one I've ever been in has the same problem with too few staff serving. I'd avoid them on principle, but the one local to me often sells 4 bottles of Grolsch for 2 quid and is the only local shop that sells bread and milk at anything like a sensible price.
The staff tend to be utter zoomers too.

Fecking BMI.
I booked some very reasonably priiced flights to Heathrow as I'm visiting the burd over Hogmany. I choose the times to allow me to do a full day at work on Thurdsay the 30th then scoot over to Glasgow Airport for my flights.
All good, except the feckers have emailed me today to inform me that I've been bumped onto an earlier flight, which will require at at least a half day's leave to get to the airport on time.
And folk say that trains are unreliable...

Godd to hear. I really rate them but I keep mentioning them to folks and get get blank looks back, oh but for a bout of Glasvegas style hype to surround them.
They certainly seem to have built up a bit of a following in Glasgow at least, if the size of the crowd in the Arches was any indication.
The frequent use of swearies in almost every track on the album will probably put paid to their chances of emulating Glasvegas right enough.

Frightened Rabbit tomorrow, good one.
Wasn't it just?
I got the impression last night that they could be on the verge of big things. The crowd's reaction was as positive as I've experienced for a long time.
Managed to get the wrrong train home too. Fortunately, it was a Cathcart Circle going the "wrong" way.
1 too many pints of Kronenbourg methinks.

I assume a line is a sick note? That wouldn't have been a problem at all. My GP would happily have given me a sick note and probably been more keen on me staying off work, resting and getting better. However, my employers' policy was that we got ten days' PAID sick leave in a rolling twelve month period. I wasn't worried about work taking action as such as they wouldn't have had a leg to stand on - they couldn't sack an asthmatic for getting chest infections and bronchitis through the winter and I would have had 100% support from my GP if they'd tried! I blamed their sick leave policy anyway - had it been better then maybe the others with colds wouldn't have brought their germs into work and passed them on to me. My body never passed up an opportunity to get ill like that back then.
I couldn't afford to lose the pay. That forced me out of my sick bed and into work.
That's a bit pish. I can't believe an employer gets away with such a harsh policy today.
Still, the point I made still stands for my place of work. F'cking martyrs, the lot of them.
Work colleagues who seem think that you're interested in every single detail of their children's day to day activities.NO I'M NOT!
Snap.
They might get off on living their lives vicariously through their weans, but I don't. Now shut the f'ck up.

Who are you annoyed at for this? Personally I would far FAR rather have taken the time off work when I had bronchitis, could barely breathe and making the ten minute brisk walk (or rather 20 minute slow struggle on my worst days). However, as I only had 10 sick days on a rolling year basis and couldn't afford any drop in pay whatsoever, one bout of bronchitis at the start of winter buggered up my entire year along with everyone else's. The rolling system meant that in any twelve month period I could only have ten days off so there was no point really at which my sick days could catch up and I could take even one week later in the year if I had a fortnight off to recover when I was really ill. When I then suffered from at least three bouts of bronchitis each year as well as various chest infections and throat infections, what was I meant to do? Other people coming into work (particularly in our open plan offices) or going in on the crowded trains with colds and other illnesses were undoubtedly where mine stemmed from. Yet how could I complain about that when I then had no choice but to drag myself in, death bed or no, the following week?
So far as I see it the system with regard to sick pay helps no-one. I don't know how it could be better without encouraging more people to take the mick but there must be a way, surely?
I'm fed up with colleagues spreading infections round like wildfire for no apparent reason.
My employer have a similar policy where any more then 10 days off in a rolling 12 month period can trigger a visit from occupational health. However, I know of lots of people who've had a lot more then 10 days off in a year, but as these absences have been supported by a GP line, no action can be taken.
As far as I can tell, the 10 day rule is only there to stop chancers taking 15 Monday mornings as sick leave in a calendar year, or to weed out people who mysteriously recover after the 4th day of absence whenever they're "sick".
I'm sure a wee visit to the GP would have furnished you with a line for a week and some antibiotics. No half decent employer would take action in those circumstances.

On a similar note, I hate people who bravely soldier on to work with a heavy cold or 'flu as they don't want to have a day's sick day, and are then oblivious to the fact that they've just caused three people to take two days off as they've coughed and sneezed all their bugs on everyone else.
Just spotted this.
This annoys me more than any other aspect of my work.
I can't understand why employers don't take a stand on this. Aye, you don't want to staff to take the pish, but I wonder how many additional working days are lost though this?
Part of me whises that bird flu would mutate into a human form so we could impose quarantine on these selfish c'nts.

It's old women that get on my nerves. When I've finished my hard day's shift, I'm quite happy to sit on the bus, plug into my iPod and let the journey go by. I also pay for my seat, so why should I have to give up my seat when it's busy for some old bat who's stupid enough to go shopping when people are going home from their work.
Not only that, they stare at you in the hope that their mental power will make you give up your seat for them. I say NO! If they can walk about the shops for a couple of hours and stand at a bus stop, they are perfectly capable of standing on a sodding bus if it's busy.
Obvious exceptions to this rule are those with walking difficulties, pregnant women and blind people.
Bus and rail pases for the over 60s should be invalid between 7am & 9am and again between 4pm and 6pm as far as I'm concerned.
If you want to travel at peak times then fucking pay top dollar like the rest of us.

The post office round the corner from me doesn't do the check and send service, so took a wander up to Cathcart office.
Not a moan that, but the fact that the moment I got out the close the heavens opened and started pissing on me, and didn;t relent till I got back in, thus soaking me to the skin and then clearing up (relatively) as if to wind me up.
Never mind that shite. Is it still raining?
I fancy a wee wander home from work tonight, but that sounds none too promising.

I will be honest with you Monster mate, if the gf wanted it (she's still undecided about staying long term), I would come home with a smile and not be bothered about it in the slightest. At least I would have given it a go when i had the oportunity to do so. It's just with songs/attitudes like that, it a side of home that makes me angry.
Yep, a couple of **** at a fitba match singing about wishing death on Nacho Novo will have a catastpophic effect on your quality of life.

now that was a good day....
I too am missing the game and refuse to reveal why.
Indeed it was. I've never put as much alcohol away in a short period as I did post match that day. Something in the region of 10 pints of Deuchar's in 2.5 hours as I recall, followed by a carry out for the train to Edinburgh, a couple of pints in the Caley Sample Rooms and another carry out for the train to Glasgow.
F'ck knows what heppend after that, as I was mysteriously teleported back to my bed and Sunday morning.
Ayways, a real petty nag for a change. My boiler is fucked.
Not a problem, as it's a summer and a privately rented flat, but having to boil a kettle every time I wish to shave or wash the dishes is a pain in the arse.

Aye I know I'm missing Airdrie v Thistle...wasn't best pleased when I realised!
In fact that's my PTTGOYN for today
It could be worse.
My mate, and occasional P&Ber "Ade Eyemond" chose not to attend the 4-3 cup victory at East End Park, opting insted for a visit to IKEA with his then burd.

This is cringeworthy reading.
If that's aimed at me, I've known the lassie for yonks and have no intention of "firing intae" her, to use the venacular.
Can't speak for any of the other contrubutors though.

My PTTGOYN.......I have missed out joining in with some quality 'Carry On' comedy sexual innuendo banter!
Never mind that. The daft bint is missing Airdrie - Thistle for a fucking WEDDING!!!!
Even if it were Bav's own wedding, that's no excuse for missing such a fixture.

Went to the gym yesterday. 15 minutes' treadmill, 15 on the cross trainer and 7 minutes on the rowing machine. My body is now in pain, which can't bee good after just over half an hour's excercise.
Also, people who take their dogs on the train. If I wanted to spent a period of time in close proximity to a mammal that sinks of pish, I'd have married an Airdrie girl.

Christ! Hope you're not counting on the deposit being returned.
I've an offer to share a flat with a mate just off Queen Margaret Drive. Tempted, as it's a cracking area, but I'm used to having the place (albeit a skanky 1 bed tenement) to myself.
Still, the extra £150-200 a month would be handy. I'll continue to deliberate...
