O2 customer services.

 

Trying to pay off my device so I can upgrade elsewhere but can't pay off the full amount online. Nearly an hour on the phone currently for a five minute job. I had to input my long card number but it wasn't working on the other guys end so he ended up just putting me through to another random department. Why I couldn't just tell him the number, who knows. Maybe a security thing?I'm now onto I think my sixth different person who has put me on hold as he says there is multiple calls on my call. He was from cancellations and retentions so will probably be back there shortly.

Think that’s where you’re going wrong. You’re meant to input it on the phone keypad. 

 

 

 

Tbf the guy seemed to think I was typing it into something other than my phone as well so maybe I am the problem....

I spent 2k learning to drive a hgv and it's taken me 3months to find a job. I lasted 2 days because the boss found out I'm not willing to commit my future to a job that pays you £10ph and you have to do 13hr shifts in ****ing sewage and other manky stuff.

Dundee bus driver were ye?

[FWJ]

I used to enjoy travelling by train but it has become a more and more miserable experience.

Alcohol ban still in force - with no sign of it ever being lifted.

Can’t remember the last time there was a trolley service.

Can’t remember the last time the WiFi worked.

Increasingly dilapidated trains.

(This is ScotRail BTW - LNER seems to manage to do all these things)

Has "people on public transport who breathe, sigh or cough on the back of your head/neck" been mentioned?

 

If I ever get done for murder, it will be because of that...

 

Yep, agreed.   Some of these phlegm-manufacturing barstewards simply shouldn't be using public transport - turning round and giving them a skoosh of Dettol disinfectant spray seems an appropriate response imo.  😉

I picked up a new car just over a week ago, sent it straight away to get PFF’d and ceramic coated. I haven’t used the guy before but comes highly recommended from a friend, who is a car collector. 

 

Now the car was to be away for 4 days to get the work done, that promptly became a week as needs time to dry. Then at weekend got a text saying had a problem and would need another couple of days as wasn’t happy with the finish around the bumper. Though pretty apologetic.
 

Due to pick up car this afternoon. Anyway, notice a number of missed calls on my phone from guy and messages asking me to call him. Anyway, I call him and soon he picks up the phone, I know immediately this ain’t a good call.

 

Long story short, is he damaged my alloys some how with a tire iron when taking wheels off. (The story made little sense to me). So he sent the wheel to be re-coated. Unfortunately, the wheel come back the wrong ****ing colour. At first I thought he meant the wrong shade, no the wrong ****ing colour. The wheels and alloys are black but comeback silver/grey. 
 

He needs the car for another 24 hours but reassures me everything is all right. Now in addition to it being a right pain in the arse having been without the car twice as long as told. I now shitting myself to see what I’m actually picking up in addition I have zero faith I’m getting motor tomorrow based on past performance.

 

I have had none of the joy of getting my new motor since it’s been away getting the work done.

 

PFF'd?

 

Damaged your alloys, as in plural?

 

Wheels and alloys, how many sets?

 

Your new motor's being wrecked and it's hardly turned a wheel, could it be your mate and his guy are winding you up?

Should have been PPF. Paint protection film.

 

The wheels seem fine, it’s alloys that are allegedly damaged. 1 Nr but I can’t quite figure out if he decided to do recoat two on one side to avoid a clash. However, whoever has recoated not even ****ing close on colour match.

 

Unfortunately not, it appears at moment I have 4 alloys in 2 different colour. 

 

TBH I want really in the mood for why the problem occurred, I wanted solutions. 
 

It’s ****ing annoying.

 

 

 

 

 

You opted for both, ceramic coat and paint protection film? Full wrap or just front end and exposed flanks?

 

Sorry, still don't get the wheels seem fine, it's the alloys that are allegedly damaged bit...

We got that for free. We opted out when we bought the car, they applied it and tried to charge us, we told them we opted out. They realised the mistake and we got it for free. 

 

 

As for the delay. My Mrs had a wee bump, so it was to go in for a new bumper. (Happened in December). They picked the car up 2 weeks ago.(No courtesy car, as it was in the garage). We called them and they said the part wouldn't be in until the end of March. They had the car for a week.

 

Gies it back, until you have the part please, Muppets. Thanks. 

 

Always take a picture of the mileage, as some garages like to use your car as their own transport.

Not sure. My Mrs works in a medical practice, and there's quite a lot going on about it just now. One of the GPs was interviewed for a program due on the telly soon. Possibly Friday. I'll see what she sys when I get back from the gym.

 

Must be murder for you though, bud. At least you're getting out for a round or two. Hopefully they can work out what it is and get you on the mend.

Absolutely shattered. I've not joined the new golf club yet, because of it. I went up to Gleddoch last week, and jumped back in my van and went home. Couldn't be arsed. Then Aberdeen pumped us.

Samsung predictive text.

 

How can a major manufacturer have such a bad function on their phones?

 

I used to have a Huawei until they became too much of a threat to western phone makers...It knew exactly what word I wanted so why is Samsung so bad at this?

 

For anyone who wants to test their phone: Try writing the word "worry" - jeez - you get every word except worry!, even "worringly" is offered up!

That's strange, on my Samsung 'worry' is the first option it gives me when I type as far as 'worr'.

On a side note... I've only just discovered you get other options for words if you swipe the suggestion sideways.

I went for a coffee this morning as Costa.  Anyway before leaving i decided i needed a pish. At the age where i may as well go before i pee myself. What a palaver. 

 

Toilets are locked up like Fort Knox. You have to get a 6 digit code then press a turn a knob to open the door. I struggle with  most knobs, * not all thankfully .   I have issues with my grip due to my health problems and I not only struggled to remember the 6 digit code but I couldn't turn the knob. Turns out you have to twist the knob anti clockwise to further confuse me. I gave up and took the chance of pissing myself in  before i got home. Got home dry so all good.

Doesn;t predictive text software "learn" what to suggest first, based on your typing history ?   If    worry is your most common word, type a blank after the y - I'd have thought that would make it "most likely predictive" word ..... until you start using "worryingly" more often, that is 😀

OTC codeine & ibuprofen based painkillers are your friend after a heavy session. 

Couple of those first thing in the morning with a strong coffee and a cat sandwich, and you can go about your day unhindered by the previous evenings festivities.

Two bottles of beer and a skinny bitch. Maybe the skinny bitch was spiked with rohypnol.

 

 

I remember those days fondly.

 

But after 2 kids and an absence of dancing tablets the bitch is not so skinny, I need more than 2 beers, and it's no longer necessary to slip her the rohypnol.

Think I’ll go back to bed😞

 

I'm going that way as well, early 30's now and my tolerance and ability to deal with it is going right out the window.  Used to be that I could handle going to the pub, having 7 or 8 pints, and then coming in to have another couple of cans whilst I played FIFA with my flatmate.

 

Now, 4 pints is enough to make me want to go to my bed, and 8 would make me pass out.  Don't get me started on the hangovers.  Used to think they were a myth.
