My 2 year old son has taken to going "Seemples" and making the KSSSHHH noise, it's pretty funny. When he started doing it I had no clue what he was on about since I don't watch telly too often.

He also sings the "Mooooonpig.com" thing.

I think he needs to start seeing better adverts.

He started doing Homer "Doh!" impressions, need to get him watching more Simpsons.

Buying stuff online, and not being told it's out of stock until the cash has been taken from me, and having to sit around for 2 or 3 weeks until they can get it back in. Heap of shite.

According to Trading Standards, you're not meant to advertise a product, with a price, as readily available if it isn't. I probably won't go as far as getting them involved, but still. They can get fucked.

So, after a pissy moaning email, including an empty threat to involve trading standard, 2 of the 3 items arrived this morning, with one on the way, and best of all - I got a full refund, including postage. Free t shirts!

It pays to be an unreasonable cunt.

I don't think you were being unreasonable. I think the British public sit back and take too much of this sort of treatment. We moan to any one who cares to listen, but we hardly ever moan to the shop/pub/cafe etc. The truth of the matter is this. If we mucked up at our work, or treated a client poorly, we would be in big trouble. Yet day in day out we put up with substandard service from shop workers, bus drivers, etc, etc and we just take it. Food that barely hot, sandwiches with meat or cheese fillings that are measured in microns. Do we say anyting to the shop etc? No, not usually.

I think we should unite in a program to raise the quality of service in the North East.

Now, I'm not saying that every shop or bus etc is a fault, but I'm sure we have all experianced the problem. Next time tell them there and then.

Rant completed, and I'm now stepping down off my soap box. Have a pleasent day.

I agree. Last October I got a parking ticket from Central Ticketing for parking outside my flat where there are not sign, road markings or anything to indicate that I couldn't park there. I have in fact been parking there for 5 years. So, I sent in an appeal, complete with photos etc. I received a letter threatening debt collectors (which arrived on Christmas Eve!), so I phoned the police, got an incident number and then phoned Trading Standards where I was given a case worker.

I then phoned them up, had a right go and quoted the police officer and Trading Standards officer. They never got their 80 and I haven't heard from them again.

GRR one of the fucking washing machines in the laundrette fucked up so not only did I have to wait 45 minutes just to find out that there wasn't enough water in the bastard thing to dissolve my liquitabs, I have to re-pay. When I phoned up the technical support I'll have to be up and waiting at the laundrette tomorrow at 9am just to get a token and to show the mechanic which fucking machine ballsed up.

Oh, and being told I'd "make a good wife" someday just because I know how to clean, it was meant as a compliment but really pissed me off. I clean because no other fucker does it and we found out that the cleaner we usually have doesn't do her bloody job properly. The bitch will turn up on Tuesday and if it's not done properly I'm reporting her arse to her boss, she bloody gets paid more than I do and does less fucking work.

:swearing:

Sorry about the last post folks, I really need to get away from this place. I think I'll try the "hide for a month" thing. Have a nice day.

That is encouraging. I think from now on, any time I get shoddy service, I'm going to write the words "Trading Standards" on a bit of paper and just hand it over the counter, or wherever, and take it from there.

Bastard exhaust muffler fell off the car this morning and it now sounds like a boy-racer style Nova (or whatever the kids drive these days).

Time to bite the bullet and get a new car methinks, it's still under MOT and qualifies for the scrappage scheme so may as well cash in before it ends.

Anyone know if the car has to be in full working order to qualify for the scrappage scheme or will a valid MOT be OK? Don't want to spend cash getting a new muffler if there's no point.

Yeah, if you work in a guitar shop you automatically become a cock. It's science. I was fine until worked in a guitar shop but now i'm a massive dick head all the time, I cant help it...I think I need therapy.

The guitarist from Mogwai had a brilliant story to tell on one of their Podcasty thingmees. I heard it ages ago so might be paraphrasing a bit, but it was along these lines...

He was in one of thon snooty guitar shops in Glasgow and was being super-patronised by the sales assistant (who didn't know who he was). The guy was going overboard, telling him how to get the best guitar sound, dismissing all the Mogwai fella's opinions and just generally being an annoying, stuck-up cunt.

Mr Mogwai went to the display, pulled out the Electro-Harmonix 'Mogwai Big Muff'' and calmly told the assistant that this pedal was invented specifically for him and to kindly stop looking down his nose.

Shot down. Bootiful.

That is pretty neat.

However, Avril Lavigne has signature guitar gear too, but I don't think that gives her any sort of immunity over a good telling off from psuedo snobs. It just comes with the territory. Any sort of specialist record shop will have the usual Jack Black in High Fidelity figure, and so on.

Knowledge and Customer Service have absolutely no way of meeting in the middle from my experience. If you know something, then you're the only way to convey it is to be a turbo-bastard about it. Every independent business has their very own Comic Book Guy, so it seems.

Girls who scream need to be smacked in the face and put in their place

I wonder if you'd say that to any womans face, let alone do anything.

I suspect you're just some snivelling, quiet, shy, loser who hides behind a computer screen and wouldn't say anything this "outrageous" to anyone else.

Can someone just ban this guy already?

Dave goes on about what people would think visiting the site for the first time. What about this guy? All this dickhead does is troll. He contributes nothing.

Twat.

I was just thinking the same thing...

Wanderer, advocating violence towards women isn't what I would expect from members of this site, and unless you wish to risk having your account suspended or terminated, I would advise against doing so again. You've had some ridiculously ill thought-out posts since you've joined and I would seriously suggest a great improvement in the quality of your contributions immediately.

Chill out dude, plenty other folk say shit in jest, you single me out because most of the morons on this site dont agree with me?

What a shit place the world would be if everyone just had exactly the same opinions
