What a place to live

I live in a fairly decent average sized home near the centre of town, I have a fairly good selection of stores, supermarkets and takeaway food outlets near to me, I am on the main route into town so very easy for travelling, my house has some fairly modern and convenient additions and adaptations inside it and I am within around 10 – 15 minutes walk from the marina which can be a nice place to go in the summer plus there is a river and riverside park about 3 minutes walk from here.

That all sounds fairly nice, and when you add to that the fact that my house is mine and mine only it sounds a little bit better, even more so when you consider the fact that I am only 25 (26 in 26 days time).

Despite all of those advantages if you will of living where I do, there is one thing about this area that really annoys me, the fact that I live 2 minutes from the football stadium, and it is not the stadium noise or anything like that which is an annoyance it is the PIG IGNORANT football fans who, when walking to or from the match have no regard for anyone else but themselves and refuse to move their asses out of the way to make a little space for people walking on the pavement in the opposite direction regardless of the fact that some of them have parked their cars right in my street causing no end of congestion.

But today I managed to get a little satisfaction from these complete idiots, today there was a traffic warden in my street placing parking tickets on the windows of every single one of these football fans cars, I very much enjoyed watching him slap the £60.00 ignorance bills on these peoples cars, made my day! oh and for those fans that caught the bus into town for todays game, well all I can say is I hope you missed the bus home that you wanted.

I am starting to enjoy this blogging business, it gives me a place to air my frustration with the world

Where’s My TV Show?

If the scheduling people on channel 5 happen to find this post at any time what have you done with my program??

I’m talking about the Gadget Show, not my own show of course. It used to be repeated on a Saturday morning, but today no gadget show checked the listings magazine and it’s not even been moved to tomorrow morning, which is what I thought they had done.

So why don’t I just watch the original broadcast at 7:15 on a Monday night, well that is because my ex ALWAYS phones to talk to the kids and I can either never hear the damned show because my eldest is sat yacking on to her mother, or I have my ex on the phone yacking on to me, I think now I have read this post back to myself I am going to tell my ex to call on a Tuesday

A bloody good whinge

I have been a miserable git all day, moaning and whinging so why not finish the day off with a good moan.

I think I have just been in one of “those” moods, but anyway, here is what has really ratted me off:

BT – Home Phone service

and

Virgin Mobile – Mobile Phone

Why BT has ratted me off:

I call them, spend an hour in a que, only to end up speaking to some woman in bombay (i am not racist by the way) who finally ends up telling me the information that I phoned to tell her, that looks complicated already doesnt it.

What basically happened was my home phone service got switched to another provider WITHOUT my say so, therefore I needed to contact BT to get them to get it back again, hence the need for this call, anyways I get through to India tell them the problem and after 30 minutes trying to explain the above the woman I am speaking to finally says, and I quote “Oh it appears your service has been changed to another provider” HOO BLOOMIN RAY you finally understand why I have called you, so there is me thinking now we are getting somewhere when she decides to transfer me to another department in Ireland thank goodness, anyway after an hour and a half of being transferred from one department to another I eventually get my phone serice back to normal, and by the time I am done I REALLY need a cup of tea and a cig.

And as for virgin mobile:

Well, this one is not so complicated, just a pain in the ass. My mobile got suspended, I call them to ask why and get told it is because my direct debit had been cancelled, yes I reply, I have a new bank account and I updated the details on your website. I then get told they don’t have the details so I give them the new bank details again, make the payment with my debit card and then get told it will be 72 hours before they can take the bar off my phone!! So I have a moan at the girl on the end of the phone before ending the call wanting another cuppa and a cig especially as due to the stupidness of Virgin mobile the cup of tea I had already made was, by now, stone cold.

My final thought for the day……ROLL ON BED TIME

p.s no further info re: the man bag

Until next time….KW
