Reynard Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Aye, good few years before that yet though, well hopefully anyway, now certainly aint a good time for me to have a kid.I'm considering just getting insured in my mums car until the summer, then working full-time for the 3/4 months I'm not at uni, and saving up some more for a car. What I earn in the summer will effectively subsidise me until the next summer. I was fucking loaded when I was your age Not any more. I`m only worth money if I snuff it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mid-table Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Go out running? Haha Gym? Haha Lunch out? Potential Pub? Don't want to drink Cinema? Potential Bowling? Bizarrely there isn't a bowling alley anywhere near Go Karting? Needs organisation Shopping? Moderately skint until I get my bonus at the end of the monthTons of stuff to do! Cinema and lunch look appealing, also might go into Covent Garden & Leicester Square, or might go to travel agents and price up a caribbean holiday I'm planning for April. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HGG Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I hate Sundays. Total waste of a day. Just have two Saturdays instead. My poor wee boy sounds like Darth Vader. He has a high temperature and sounds really rattly, particularly when drinking his milk just now and obviously not able to breathe through his mouth - I want to suction it all out for him! I brought him downstairs to get him something for the temperature and he sat pointing at the medicine spoon saying "see", indicating that he wanted more, bless him! He's been exposed to chicken pox several times over the last six weeks and so far had escaped - I guess I'll find out in the next few days or so whether this is just a cold or whether he's finally succumbing to the dreaded lurgy. Thankfully my other two had it a couple of years back so hopefully they'll be ok. My middle one had it at not quite two years old. She was just about ok in time for her brother's fourth birthday party!:- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reynard Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I tidied up the garden a bit yesterday. As I got one bit sorted my daughter was following on behind me trashing it all again. I disinfected the greenhouse as well and will sow the seeds for the chillies and tomatoes and whatever else I am planting this year. And I have got a bid load of compost from the heap which I raked into the grass. I don`t know why I bother as everything will be wrecked the next nice day the kids can get out into the garden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Did anyone see the 'Jesus Christians' on Wife Swap last night? Totally infuriating 'Freegans' who eat out of supermarket bins, live in campervans and generally do nothing but preach on the streets about Jesus and ask for donations. I still dont know what they did with the donations that they received and at the same time I wondered where they got money for petrol, clothes and stuff. Surely they werent luring people into giving donations towards a Christian organisation and then using said donations for petrol and the like?

Guest The Phoenix Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 This afternoon I had occasion to use a Royal Bank of Scotland (my bank) Cashline and did so with some degree of confidence that it would dispense, without delay, the required £50. I inserted my card, entered my personal security number - I'm not that stupid! - pressed "Cash" , pressed "£50", and patiently waited as the machine went through it's usual "make him sweat a bit" routine. All was still going well, when the message "Please remove your card" appeared, which I duly did. The message "Please wait while your cash is counted" then appeared, quickly followed by a screen advising me that "Windows is shutting down". I stood and stared at the wee slot where the cash is delivered but to no avail. I continued to stare (glare?) at the machine, thinking to myself "What happens if I go into the bank to complain and the machine then decides to spit out my £50 to a lucky passer-by?". Fortunately there was a second machine adjacent to the one I had used and I logged into that to get a Mini Statement which confirmed my worst fears, namely the last entry "11 Feb -£50". Things went steadily downhill from here. I went into the branch and I advised a teller about the fun I had just had whilst playing one of their machines. She dutifully wrote all the details down, checked her computer and confirmed the cashline machine had indeed closed down. She then asked me if I had a telephone number and I asked (somewhat naively) "What do you want a telephone number for, I just want my £50 and I'll be on my way". Silly me! "Sorry Sir, I need to check the balance on the machine before we can consider giving you your £50" Red rag to bull time! "What do you mean consider? Are you calling me a liar?" "No, Sir but I do need to verify the facts" "Ok, I'll wait while you check the balance" "Sorry, I can't do that while the branch is open" "Oh", said more in anger than disappointment, "When will you be able to check it?" "Thursday" By this time The Phoenix has completely lost the plot. "Thursday! Thursday! I want to speak to the manager!" "The Manager is on holiday" "Ok, the acting Manager" "We don't have one" "What! That's ridiculous! What do you do if someone wants to complain or a decision needs to be made?" "We sort it out amongst ourselves" "Well you're not sorting this out, are you?" "It will be on Thursday" "And what happens if the machine balances, how do I get my money back then or will you just call me a liar?" "If that happens, I'll need to discuss it with the Manager" "And when are they back?" (Remember there is currently no Manager in the Branch) "Next Monday" Steam / red mist / spittle / toxic gases are now eminating from every Phoenix' orifice. Deep breaths, induce calm, relax. "Ok, can you let me have the address of your HO Customer Services?" "Certainly" Short delay and I am then handed a hand written note with a telephone number on it. Deep breaths, induce calm, relax. "I asked for the address not a telephone number" "Everyone telephones their complaints in the first instance" "So there is no one I can write to?" "No" At which point I spot a Leaflet in a rack next to the counter "Are you unhappy with our service?". I select said Leaflet and read contents. "So why does it say here, you can write to our Customer Relations Manager at the address shown below?" "Oh" (more said in desperation than disappointment). Cue The Phoenix biding the young woman farewell, armed with Leaflet and (currently) minus £50. Has anything similar happened to anyone else? I fully intend turning this into a profit (via compensation) before the episode is laid to rest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetooner Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I fully intend turning this into a profit (via compensation) before the episode is laid to rest. I doubt you will get compensation from this, as there will be no charge to you. An apology will be all youd get i would guess. Did you ask if you could make a 2nd transaction to get the money you wanted? and then have the 50quid refunded to you? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phoenix will get at least £25 compo. I went back to the other cashline machine and withdrew £50 without a problem. The £50 I'm due will no doubt get debated by all the joint managers at the branch on Thursday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they all of a sudden manage to buy their son a laptop?! Poor wee guy was miserable. And when the guy went to work for the morning at the recycling centre and decided he was wasting prescious preaching time, aye right ya fucking lazy b*****d. Get a job!
