Fucking customers who can't print their email addresses clearly or provide you with a contact telephone number then bitch and moan that we took so long to contact them about a problem.
If you didn't scribble your one single piece of contact information in a manner of a drunk trying joined up writing for the first time then perhaps we would have been able to contact you quicker.
I've discovered that people are fucking dicks the majority of the time.
ETA - Ooh 100th post. Not surprising it's a moan.

Best place to get a Xmas jumper?
Going to Glasgow/East Kilbride at the weekend so could get it there.
Going by the window display of Primark, i would suggest they seem like a safe bet.

People moaning about payday loan companies. I've never had to use one and probably never will but the idea is excellent. You pay a few pounds interest to ensure your bill gets paid on time and don't lower your crdit score/blacken your credit history.
If people misuse them, that's their own fault.
I've been told that using them does have an effect on your credit score.
A bloke in my work applied for one, was approved but allegedly didn't go ahead with it.
When he applied nearly a year later for a credit card to use on holiday he got knocked back because his credit rating took a dive after his payday loan application.
This could all be bollocks as i've never used them myself. I wouldn't judge those who do use them as I imagine a lot of folk use it as a last resort and get themselves in a vicious circle.
If folk are using it to pay regular bills without extra money like a bonus or overtime to cover it at some point then it never solves the original problem of not having enough money.
Its legalised loan sharking without the threat of gbh if you don't pay on time.

After not owning one or even touching one in the past two years, i've just ordered a new guitar and amp.
Not sure the wife is going to be pleased though.

When we were getting a coach down to Manchester airport, my sister checked us all in at the bus stop where we were meeting the coach ffs!
A bus station would have been sad enough but this was a fecking random bus stop in Hamilton.
Between pish like this and her posting about my gran dying before i was told about it, I've had enough.
Facebook has now been deleted.

I never knew that.
Cheers.
Nae bother. It's one of then few good things I learned from working in a bank.
Now a little bit of my soul dies every time I need to change how I work based on a clients possible net worth. Just because someone claims to be worth xyz million doesn't mean I should prioritise his Lithuanian mail order bride's application for an account.
That's my pttgoyn.

Bought a pair of jeans from jacamo and they were meant to be delivered yesterday. A leaflet was placed in my letter box saying that the delivery person called and has left my parcel in the flats outbuilding. I've checked the outbuilding and with all my neighbours and there is no sign of these jeans. I cant even call the delivery person as she hasn't left a contact number. I call jacamo and they say there is nothing they can do! So I'm down £50 for a pair of jeans which I've never owned!
Contact your bank for a refund. You're covered by distance selling regulations so they should refund you fairly quickly.
You should be covered for anything ordered by phone, mail or t' internet.

hahahahahahahaha. One of my mates wrote a status about this bird, Her profile is hilarious. Top Ayrshire burd.
I'm honestly at a loss to work out what she's actually saying in any of her posts.
Is this b*****disation of ned & text speak available as an option on Google translate?

The online passport application process.
So slow to load pages and then when you submit the application, you don't get any confirmation that it's been submitted successfully or not as it just goes to some random Home Office passport information page.
So you go through it again to make sure it's been done.
Could be my laptop, could be my internet connection but it took me nearly an hour.
I've got another two to do for my kids but the thought of doing it again fills me with dread.

Folk who use self service tills to buy booze at the supermarket and then get pissed off when it requires staff to authorise it.
It's an age restricted product you fecking tool! Of course it won't let you put it straight through. Otherwise there would be endless queues of underage kids buying their carry out.
Guy tonight trying to buy a case of Tennents starts swearing his head off as he had to wait for a member of staff.
With any luck something unfortunate will happen to him soon since;
a) he has terrible taste in booze
b) he's too fecking stupid to be allowed to breed

My gran died on Friday and within 30 minutes, my sister had posted about it on facebook and this is how my wife got the news.
She phoned me in was in a blind panic as because i hadn't got in touch with her yet, it meant t that i didn't know and would find out via facebook. (I found out by text just before the post)
Since then there have been further posts thanking people for flowers and about having to buy a funeral outfit. Just attention seeking pish.
I'm half expecting her to check in at the crematorium on Thursday.

How much did they charge you for that then? Hope it wasnt a rip off.
And the little Glasgow 100 souvenir was poor. I wanted a bloody medal. Well I would have liked one lol
Got charged £4.99 for it but I was a capitve audience and had no other choice. The price might have included the fact he fitted it for me.
Every time i had the tyre off, i ran my fingers round both the rim and inside of the tyre and could not find a source of the problem. It did not look like my tyre was being pierced in any way, which is why it pissed me off so much.
I don't know if these fell into the category of pinch flats rather than punctures. It always seemed to happen just after a particularly rough section of road.

Yeah seen alot of bikes by the road seen the same guy a few times wasnt having the best days.
Not sure on the difference between the bikes weight the gear set up. I noticed on the flats that the road bikes glided along them, or maybe ita down to fitness haha they are obviously better for a 100 miles. Once I get a new bike doubt I could sell my hybrid after that run we became one :-)
That might have been me you saw a few times. I was doing the 100k route (kudos to those who done the 100 miler) and got 4 flats on the back wheel. I took two spare tubes with me. Had to borrow one of a fellow rider, which then exploded as it was getting pumped up as it wasn't seated right and then had to buy another from the mobile mechanic who stopped to help.

Has anyone on here gone from a mtb to a road/hybrid bike and find it hard to get back on the mtb?
I got a Specialized Sirrus beginning of June and have been use it to ride back from work every couple of days. It's not a full on road bike as it's flat bars instead of drops and the tyres are 700x28 rather than 700x23.
I'm really enjoying it but last week i got a puncture on the way to the station. I was clipped into the pedals as i pulled over to check it out and completely forgot to unclip so had the really embarrassing slow fall to the side.
The next ride i had after changing the tyre, the bike felt a bit unstable. I put it down to the tyres being inflated to 115psi but then the frame felt like it was starting to flex. I know i'm a big bloke but didn't think i would ruin a frame after less than 2 months.
It turns out the rear wheel was no longer running true. Half the spokes were worryingly loose and it was jamming against the brake blocks. It's going back to the shop next week for it's free six week service and they'll sort the wheel then.
Anyway i dug out my trusty mtb for the ride from work but it felt so weird that i couldn't get comfortable to get any great distance. It also felt ridiculously heavy and unwieldy when it had never felt like that before. I didn't even like looking at the front wheel rolling along as i'd been so used to seeing a 28mm tyre that seeing the 1.75 inch (semi slick off road one) felt like i was riding a tractor.
Anyone else suffered from this? It's bummed me out as i've never not liked my trusty old steed before. Even after riding different and more expensive mtb's, i've always liked going back to mine.

Just finshed the sign up and it offically the 100 mile option we shall see on the day lol yeah mate i'll be hanging at the back lol
Done a 25 mile stint today as a warm up well on the gps 25.84 mile lol every bit counts out tomorrow for a little longer. Planing going on a monster cycle on sunday well hopefully
I've signed up for this too although I'm taking the jessie option and doing the 100k instead of the 100 mile.
Had my first decent run back from work this evening.
No wind, no rain, it was absolutely brilliant. Just under 19 miles and it's a great way to de-stress after a crap day at the office.
I only stopped when i got home as i was getting hungry and had no cash to get something whilst out otherwise i would have kept on going.
Hills that previously ruined me seemed to breeze by today.

Yup,but stick at it mate.
I cant believe the amount of times I go out,thinking its quite calm,only to find the wind whips up afte about 15 minutes and like you,no matter which direction you cycle in,it seems to be against you!
I really dont mind cycling in the rain or cold,but a strong wind is a bugger and can make things quite tough
Cheers mate. Glad I don't suffer alone.
Rain and cold I can handle too. Plenty of gear to combat them but headwinds are the worst thing about cycling.
Tailwinds are awesome though. Although I don't catch them all that often. The headwinds seem to spite me by turning round on my way home.

Took the day off work today to go out for a first proper ride on my new bike. Just under 18 miles, no idea of time as I didn't check when I left.
Pissing rain all the way and no matter which way I turned, I seemed to by cycling into a headwind. Really tough going.
Please tell me someone else has rides like this as it really sapped my strength and pissed me right off.

Are you thinking of killing your girlfriend?
It took a moment before the penny dropped but I actually did laugh out loud at this.
Ah the memories.

Danny Cipriani to Switch to Football?
I know it's by no means confirmed that he is swapping rugby for football, buy i'm trying to think if anyone else (as high profile anyway) who has swapped sports?
Michael Jordan switched from basketball to baseball and then switched back again IIRC.

I once heckled an Oasis tribute band where the lead singer did exactly that. He couldnt sing either!
In addition to this, I absolutely fecking despise celebrity look-alikes. Especially z list ones.
It is not a talent to vaguely look like someone else who may be considered famous and should never be promoted as one.
Fair enough if you can sing and sound like who you're supposed to be but other than that f**k right off.

I wouldn't drink that milk if I was you, it's been out of the fridge for an hour or two.
Sticking with E4 - The Scrubs episode "My Own Personal Jesus." They've cut out half a sentence from Jordan, which leads to Perry saying his line earlier than it should be, which isn't funny and doesn't really make sense at all.
I know it was at 1pm, but "testicles" isn't a bad word, surely? There's no real need to cut it out.
Whoever edits these programmes on E4 should be repeatedly kicked in the stones until they learn how to do it properly.
The way they do it is a fecking disgrace as they totally butcher stuff.
Any reference to sex or body parts on Friends shown during the day is removed but they don't seem to make any effort towards continuity. They just seem to remove the "offensive" word or sentence but still leave in another actor's reaction (or canned laughter) to the removed section and it drives me round the bend.
It's hardly like Friends or Scrubs are risque (is that how you spell that) to start with.

Watching Savage 'interview' Mark Hughes on Football Focus. It looked like the camerman needs the loo as he cannot fucking stand still.
Being hungover and watching this made me feel ill.
