Lemonade Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Windows 8. Fuck me it's so counter intuitive and unnecessarily complicated. Why do I seem to have 4 My Documents folders? What's with the Start Menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't mind it other than the Start menu, which is now a Start screen. Or several screens. And things don't seem to be in any order on the Start screens. I've put everything I need onto an icon dock on the desktop, so I rarely, if ever, have to use the Start screen.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Bollocks to that - get on to central customer services with an angry letter or something. I'd be absolutely raging. Cancelling the other vouchers?! Not just cheeky, but unbelievably so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarmaTsunami Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't drive and don't live/work in easy proximity to a supermarket. Sure, I could get two buses, but why offer the service at all if you can't deliver it? Once fair enough, but three times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have absolutely no faith in anyone else doing my weekly shop and getting it right. It also made me judge the location of amenities a whole lot better when looking for accommodation in the future.

WELL DONE M8 KT's post was not about her choice to shop in an actual shop vs a virtual shop it was that a service that is offered to her (and many others) via ASDA has been so terrible that an expected delivery of a weekly shop has been cancelled three times. A service that incurs a charge, no less - which is important. She shouldn't have to justify her choice to shop online, it's the pet hates thread FFS. It's like paying for John Lewis to assemble a new piece of furniture when they deliver it to your (my) house. It's not because I physically can't put the bed together myself, it's because I physically can't be arsed to put it together myself.

Berryden? Luxury!!! I used to walk 15 miles each way wi bare feet in the pouring rain to buy me shopping................and all I could afford were a slice of mouldy bread. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Mouldy bread?!?!? LUXURY! I had to drag my recently undressed leg stumps 300 miles through a river of vinegar just to get to the closest baker where he'd clean out bread crumbs from his bellybutton into my mouth. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 BELLYBUTTON?! THAT'S NOTHING MATE, turns out when I lived in Rose Street me and Alkaline were on the same shopping schedule so any time I went to Sainsbury's for my (expensive) shop I had to walk beside Alkaline carrying a full weeks shopping for himself and his very lazy girlfriend at the time. It also made him judge the location of the eggs in one of my shopping bags and my choice of washing powder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
