Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...


Recommended Posts

Aye, it does take ages especially having to stagger around like a new born baby giraffe trying to see the back of my head in the 2 mirrors in my bathroom. I'll get slagged tonight for the gash, but not as much as I would for a tuppenny-all off (especially since I was stoating round the work flicking my flowing locks only this afternoon).

Hopefully it will have grown back a modicum before my hot date on Sunday.

I have it on good authority that the slappers on Plenty of Fish don't give a rat's arse about silly things like hairstyles. They're more interested in your taste in 19th century German philosophers, social justice in the banana trade and the political fallout from the Russian annexation of Crimea.

I'm sure you'll have a blast. 8)

^^^ Talking Shite^^^

No General Election in Thailand today, and even if there was, the local shops will sell bevvy. This is Thailand, the rules are that their is no rules!!!

I'm just going by the closed pubs and the sign in the hotel that said there's nae bevy on sale because of the general election,I'm in phuket

PHUKET: Phuket will see four Saturday night alcohol bans in coming months, as polls open for senator and MP selection in March and April.

The four dates selected for voting, March 23 and 30 for the senator election and April 20 and 27 for the MP election, fall on Sundays. In accordance with the law, alcohol bans will begin at 6pm the night before and extend to midnight on the day of the election.

Well, despite it not going that great, she's invited me out on Saturday. Which unfortunately is the date of the P+B sub-crawl. What to do, what to do...

Lost my wallet on Sunday whilst out walking the dog. Thankfully there wasn't much in the way of cash in it.

Unfortunately it did have my bank card, my season ticket (a blessing perhaps?) and my driving license in it. Cancelled the bank card no problem, will sort the season ticket at the weekend probably but decided I'd get my driving license sorted this afternoon. Ended up spending around 15-20 minutes filling the in the forms only to realise I've no way of actually paying for it :1eye

Some arsehole has used an old credit card of mine.

I done a balance transfer and ended up 38p in credit from the company, mail and phone correspondence in November they were told numerous times to shut the account and keep the spare 38p. They've been calling me for days and I've just ignored as I'd assumed they're wanting me to re-open an account. Sadly, it's not. It's not a large amount of money (£40) but it was done in January and now there's two missed payments and charges on top.

They're determined I'm paying it as I never 'officially' closed the account. I don't know how many more emails I can send. I still have copies of three.

CapitalOne are arseholes.

I'd send another saying you're referring it to this mob: http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/

You'll likely get a prompt reply, hopefully saying forget about it. I would be a bit wary though if they say go ahead, these fuckers can destroy your credit rating. Might be easier to pay up if you can afford it, and you have a good credit rating. I haven't, so I'd fight the b'stards to the end.

Good luck with the ombudsman but they are pretty useless ( so I hear ) so you might just have to pay it yourself in the end.... Report it to Capital one as well as fraud and you might be OK.... I have had my cards used before fraudulently and I've never had to pay the amounts that were spent..... Good Luck :)

Mention the financial ombudsman and they'll crack, I had one customer threaten me with them because he was due us £100. Upon referring him to complaints they had the debt wiped off and vouchers sent out to apoligise. Nothing more annoying especially when the complaints department mails you saying you were in the right. But for every complaint referred to them they charge the company £400. Even if the company was correct in their actions.

I've no idea if the ombudsman is any good or not, but I know that Capital One have an awful reputation, and they invariably cave in when people take them to a small claims court. Reporting it as a fraud to Capital One is obviously the first step, but I thought Deeboy had already done that. The point of the Ombudsman is to not to actually do it, but make Capital One think you're about to.

I came in from work and my girlfriend was watching E! news.

They actually sit about discussing important news like Jessica Simpsons new weight loss and Kaley Cuoco's tattoo and bring in correspondents with exclusives about some fucking housewives show. I have never seen such an awful programme.

ETA its on Channel 151 on Sky if this is your thing.

Was listening to the Talksport coverage of the Manchester derby this morning. Don't know who the commentators were but every sentence was a cliche. To use a P&B cliche, cringe.

As opposed to when it's spoken on the Wire, and then it's a wonderful thing.

Edit: Cheers to whoever deleted the comment about English people saying "shit" thus making me look like I'm talking to myself.
