Posts where I’m ranting about someone or something
Well I’m still sort of offically employed : my last pay cheque arrives this Friday but I’m laid off. So I’ve been using an old Toshiba Satellite SA30 laptop running Ubuntu and its OK but its only a 640*480 display and it was getting a bit unreliable. You know when the disk drive starting making […]
Back in 1993 I bought a flat in Cheltenham, a nice flat it was too. OK when I bought it it didn’t actually exist and was just a muddy swamp but I saw it being built. I stood in it when it was an empty shell with no internal walls and over the weeks I […]
Early Friday morning (about 01:55) our car alarm went off. I went down stairs and found that the windscreen had three holes in it. I deactivated the alarm and went and phoned the police and gave them all the details. Got up in the morning and got a new windscreen booked for today. Also booked […]
Those were the thoughts of the bowl of petunias in The HitchHikers Guide to Galaxy when it suddenly came into existance miles above Magrathea. Oh No. Not Again was what my wife and I said when we came out of the house this morning to find that someone had vandalised the 93. Not the windscreen […]
Well they processed the refund sometime in the past couple of weeks. It appeared on the Credit Card statement we got the other day. I still have heard nothing from them, not a sausage, not a peep, not a word. OK so they processed the refund : its only take them 5 months. I guess […]
Early in June after battering my head against the wall over the fiasco with United Airlines and their inability to refund money they took from us I found that their refunds department now had an email address rather than a fax number( which they didn’t want to let people have). You CANNOT phone the refunds […]
I’m not in a happy mood at all. At about 6am on Thursday February 28th we got a telephone call from Kathy’s sister telling us that her dad had died unexpectedly. It was obvious that Kathy, at least, needed to get back to Maine as soon as possible. To try to make things as easy […]
Got up this morning and found the 93 has been vandalised again So in the past 8 months: 93 – smashed windscreen 93 – dents in the roof from some scrote running over it 95 – smashed windscreen 93 – smashed windscreen (and this time they left the rock behind in my front garden) Cars […]
A week after I phoned to police to tell them that our 95 had been vandalised I get a letter through the post from Gloucesteshire Police. Its depressing reading – says so much about what our police force has become: ———— Offence : Criminal Damage to property valued under £5000 – vehicle Date Reported : […]
vandalise other peoples property? Heading out today after the frost had cleared I noticed that the windscreen on my Saab 95 Estate has been smashed. It was OK when I parked it at 6:20 on Friday evening but I didn’t use it over the weekend and the weather was so bad I didn’t notice it […]
