ca_gere Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 This annoying habit i've formed where I look at Facebook first thing in the morning before I get out of bed. Puts me in a right bad mood yet I can't seem to stop, it's like I've associated facebook with waking up. I hardly check it throughout the day. There's always something on there to annoy me - today it was people debating the Scotland fan in the Uruguay crowd. People bringing politics into it and then Rangers/Celtic, then an english guy wading in with some awful 'banter' about scottish people being scum, then the backlash, then the 'i was only joking', then the 'where's the dislike button'... most people should not be allowed to use a keyboard.

It's especially depressing now that I've hidden about 80% of my aquaintances. There's practically nothing on there, yet I still idly scroll down the wall before hurtling out of bed to greet the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 I finished watching S1 of Agents of Shield yesterday and wanted to fill in some blanks by watching Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier. The film is no longer showing in cinemas yet it's not possible to watch it anywhere now. I tried all the legit sources I could find and it looks like it's gone until August when the BluRay is released. I then turned to torrents but 2 were dodgy camcorder in a cinema jobs with asian titles and very dark lighting making. Generally poor quality and not good to watch. The 3rd one I tried actually turned out to be Rio2. I hope the motherfucker that did that ends up in a particularly distasteful part of hell. Probably being forced to watch Rio2. It seems like movie studios are still not grasping the potential of the internet to make them money. They have a product but instead of using it to generate ongoing cash they're withholding it in the hope that they make bumper sales on the physical release instead. Then when it is released to streaming companies it will just be for a short window or for overpriced download models like BlinkBox. Very frustrating.

ca_gere Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Fucking internet companies. Particularly Time Warner (a polish one) Moved into a new flat this past weekend. I had everything sorted before moving in so that i'd just have to plug in my modem/router and be good to go. Lo and behold, I get there, call up to activate my modem and... the company doesn't even cover my area. Fucking 'Vance' who sold me the package via online chat lied to my virtual fucking face. This is despite me asking him to triple check the service/speed at my building. He even had the cheek to try upgrade me to 100mbps and warn me off another company because they can only get 3mbps. Cancelled my account (after speaking to about 4 people and being put on hold for hours) then was able to go with another company, set up my account online in seconds, picked up their modem from the store next to my work and was online instantaneously. No hassle. Not an original pet hate but fuck me I'd forgotten how awful some of these companies are. It's literally ALL about making a sale, getting the numbers. Absolutely zero respect for the individual. They always try to sell you a fucking phone line and a TV package too... just fuck off with that shit already. And they never can just ask you what package you want, it's always 'tell me a bit about your browsing so I can find the best package for your needs'. I called up a few companies and was getting this a lot so I started replying with '24/7 HD 3d hardcore porn... nothing but porn'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I've moved house and had to re-setup the internet, there's always a 2-3 week internetless period. Dark age stuff.

MattJimF Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Most Internet over in the US of Poland is cable. Virginia is the same here instant connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Aye, it's all cable so most buildings are pre-wired with the connection and you just have to activate it. The companies that aren't try to snake their way in and offer you their packages knowing full well you'll need to wait a couple weeks for a technician to rip out the other cable and replace it with their own.

When I lived on King Street, my housemate moved out, and the BT account was in his name. We were simply changing it from his name to my name. Somehow, that still came with 2-3 week downtime to deactivate one account, and activate another. Maybe it's just BT being totally shithouse.

MattJimF Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 It's to do with markers. When you have broadband the company puts a marker on the line to say "this is ours". For some unknown reason it takes fucking ages for this marker to be removed by one company and replaced by another. BT are fucking shit for changing details, TalkTalk are probably just as bad, the other main issue is having to have a phone line for broadband. The daft thing is parts of Aberdeen have the infrastructure for cable from the old Aberdeen/Atlantic cable, but they missed being bought out by NTL/Telewest and ended up going bust.

Teabags Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'm currently in this predicament. Got keys to new flat yesterday. Internet got cut off in old flat today and won't be activated in new flat for 2 weeks. From what it sounded like on the phone, they didn't even know my new flat existed. UGH.

James Broonbreed Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I've never had a problem with Tesco home delivery. Must sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Tried Sainsbury's once because I got a voucher. Turned up three hours late and the guy had left half my shopping in Ferryhill. Got it all sorted, but I've had minimal problems with ASDA (besides this) so I just went back to them. The drivers always tell me when I've had substitutes made and don't mind taking anything back I can't use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skacel Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I saw one of the Tesco delivery vans go round a roundabout on Anderson Drive on 2 wheels the other day. Nae luck for whoever's shopping was in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
