Sounds like it! Oh and on 2 emails they call me a completely different name!!

 

Luckily the wife likes complaining so she’s trying to get money off the bill for our time spent chasing. 

Our case has been passed to 4 different solicitors/staff in the same firm. It's so hard to keep track of who we'll get a response from next. And then who to chase up when we need to! 

We rang one of them on Wednesday and he said he didn't know where the case was at but will chase it too .

 

Are you likely to get any money off?

‘Irish Pubs’. Awesome in Ireland but don’t understand the idea of them across the globe. You’re still just a pub even though you have tat everywhere and have  decals on the wall saying ‘enjoy the craic’.

Trying to a book a holiday. Try and make the payment, "you're billing information is incorrect please try again". No it isn't. Use this card all the time online. Try and ring their support number, "please provide booking number", don't have one cuz I can't flipping book it. Auto hangs up phone. Talk to the online assistant, can't talk to them without a booking number. 

 

Why have companies gone so stupid. Its a £2400 sale ffs, how can you afford to not give a shit about it.

Plenty of Americans love to think that they're Irish because of some distant, and often spurious, connection. 

 

All about dragging them green backs in.

Sorry to hear that, focus your energy on the reliable people if you can.

“Hey, we’re going to deliver your awesome order by 6pm”. Or something.

Almost as cringeworthy as Pep wearing Manchester City 'Madchester' clothing.

 

That's like Brendan on the touchline in some of the official LCFC/Kasabian gear

The parents of the child in the street behind ours who's been up shouting, bouncing on a trampoline and blasting Imagine Dragons out of a speaker so the whole estate can hear for the past 40 minutes.

You have my sympathy.

Some houses near us welly up the stereo so they can hear it in their garden. Selfish sods.

Trouble is, everyone else has to listen to it too, if you want to sit out in your garden.

Canoe not chase them up?

Drinking gallons of Lemsip these last few days to try and keep a lid on the heavy cold I have.

I ran out this morning so went to buy some more, they only had the blackcurrant flavour.

BLACKCURRENT!?

It's called LEMsip ffs.

Didn't realise until I got home and it tastes bloody awful.

Sean from Enderby once screenshotted one of my posts from here saying how ugly our fans are and that on TV, most of them look like they're from Chernobyl.

 

He got way more likes than I did on here.

I still think about that.

The negative attitude to the house building industry. These builders build great homes which are much better that those built before.

Yeah I didn’t want to name names but the vast majority do. It’s so competitive now that they can’t afford to build below par homes.
