Fae_the_'briggs Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Big sheets hanging from buildings, bridges, at roundabouts, etc, with a message painted on them wishing someone a happy birthday or something. Quite amusing when it first started but now just lacking in imagination. There was one at a roundabout in Dumfries a couple of years ago which was a bit different, it read "Joe Bloggs" Cheat, You're Dumped". with the cheated- on's name at the bottom. The cheaters name wasn't Joe Bloggs, I can't remember the actual name on it. That's more like what these public notifications should be like though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know how you get on with the bleach idea. Spot on with the vinegar (not bleach...I thought you said vinegar originally!) and a wash at 90 degrees. Anyway, it worked. Well done! I'd go to Mumsnet for more advice but I'm sure that I'd see too many things that I should "be awear" of. As an aside, I decided to clear the trap at the bottom of the machine....and didn't replace it properly. So, I had the kitchen flooded and the smell of vinegar for a day. Luckily I passed the kitchen just as the water started skooshing out...still managed to leak into the flat downstairs though. Still, I smell wonderful now and don't feel the need for a scourging.

"BLAH, BLAH..." "Could you press five?" "BLAH, BLAH..." Eventually a guy I know - big unit - physically lifted one of them out the way in order to hit the other floors. Not a peep from them after that... Welcome to Glasgow. To be fair maybe they didn't understand what you were asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Tried to set up a football team at work after getting an email inviting me to join a league. Joined provisionally while trying to get players but after reading T&Cs saying I'd be liable to pay the full money (£126 a game) if we missed any, I emailed to pull out. With the first game tomorrow they emailed me claiming I now owe the match fee for tomorrow, a joining deposit (which I haven't paid) and a cancellation fee equalling £250-300. They have nothing other than my email, but it's annoying now having to go back and forth to debate with them that I won't be paying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Recently moved into a new flat so having to go through the standard broadband/energy/whateverthefuckelse pain in the arse that goes along with moving. Opted for Sky's Unlimited Broadband, which was supposed to be activated at some point tomorrow (some nonsense about needing an engineer round to do some shit). I'd originally asked for an afternoon time slot because I have an exam in the morning. All very well. Afternoon time slot is confirmed. Then a text message tells me it's now tomorrow morning, which I can't do. Phone them up, asking very nicely to change it back to the afternoon slot. "Can't do that now, next available date is May 19th". Waited just over two weeks for the first date, now they've shafted me and given me another two week waiting period. Still, at least I'll be able to shift through the pile of books I've had waiting to be read since Christmas 2014. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 This is one of the reasons I left sky. Moved a couple of times, one especially bad - including the guy drilling numerous holes in the wall?! BT mucked about with activation dates but didn't attempt structurally damage the property... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernJambo Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I'm moving shortly, was planning just to get BT in the new place - take it you'd recommend virgin, throbber? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 BT seem to be going the way of energy companies with their billing, which since they changed it last month requires a degree in cryptography to decipher. It used to be itemised into line rental, broadband, calls & TV package. Now ours has 13 different items, most of which are credits/refunds which they list first. They give you a refund for something which you've already pre-paid for the year, then add the fee in further down so the net is zero. Totally pointless. It reminds me of David Cameron's energy revolution intended to make bills & tariffs easier to understand, which actually resulted in our bills becoming unintelligible and going up by 900% due to the mandatory standing charge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
