Ribble Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Banks, It's no surprise they lost so much money, each and every one of them is useless! Lost my debit card on saturday so phoned them up to cancel the card, one of the security questions was about any Direct Debits and I said I only had one for my mobile phone, asked me how much it is for and I said normally around 38 quid, the guy then says he needs the exact amount ffs, Direct Debits are by their very nature variable amounts and can anyone honestly off the top of their head remember what last months bill was to the penny? What has really annoyed me though is that I have recently moved flat so I thought it would be easy enough to change my address either using phone or online banking, no chance, I have to go into a branch to do that. So rather than delay my new card being sent out any more than the 10 days it will already take I've had it sent to the branch. How the hell in this day and age can it honestly take 10 days to create and post a bank card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnybob72 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Edinburgh's road surfaces. One of the worst has to be Marchmont Road heading from the meadows to Grange Road - it's like driving through a ploughed field. God help us once the freezing nights start their work on the surfaces.

Only wanted to park outside a shop in Stockbridge for ten mins and you are supposed to get that for 20p. Only had 10s, 50s and ?s.

Argos are really bad for this also. I went in just before I went on holiday this year to pick up a cheap Hairdryer for Little Miss Floyd's hair. The Hairdryer cost ?3.49 and the lassie behind the desk says to me, do you want to buy product replacement insurance for ?6.50 should it break within 3 years of purchase?? She looked shocked when I said, no it's alright, it's liable to get left in Ibiza after my holidays anyways and why would I buy insurance at almost double the cost of the item I'm buying?? She then muttered, ok suit yourself then......... Mental!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it, your a roid-ed up arsehole with a small ******, and this is your way of overcompensating. But trying to lift weights far too heavy for you whilst your roaster of a pal screams "UP! UP!" and helps you with half the weight by pushing your arms up for you really isn't helping anything. The place had about 6 people in it as well so they made sure that everyone could hear them.

Der Kaiser Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 3 month prison sentences for anyone stopping their trolley in a supermarket aisle directly adjacent to someone else's trolley. Mandatory refresher driving tests for drivers aged 70 and over. Tests would be based on the movie Speed in that a bomb would be attached to their car and should their speed drop below the legal limit for any road by 10mph the bomb would detonate.

Nobody wants to have a nice night out ruined by someone's screaming brat. Leave them at home. Having kids means making sacrifices. One of those sacrifices is a normal social life.

I'm fairly certain if i had been followed by the police i would've had my license taken of me. It was almost like i was at that stage in my lessons where i could operate the car but didn't have a clue about how to drive on the road The drop in speed thing was something that annoyed me though, i am pretty careful about speeding since if i get 6 points thats my license gone.. but i don't think anyone around me was doing less than 70 in the 50mph section.
