Where has the sun gone?
It’s been one of those weeks – Monday was SUPPOSED to have been fairly easy for me…just a smidgen of paperwork to do before my trip to Hahn on the Tuesday/Wednesday. I hadn’t figured in the Tim factor (AKA: fuck up factor) – as such I spent the day in the workshop trying to get the paperwork over there up to date, then making sure delivery notes etc. were all ready for stuff going out while I was away (I could have left it for Corina to do, but I like to be ahead in these things). After work, I […]
Read MoreRiots! civil unrest! where’s MY new TV?
So, the riots in London have spread – I’m up at Manchester airport and the pub landlord just commented that the Arndale centre (shopping precinct in the city centre) has been ransacked causing an estimated £4.37 of damage 🙂

Tried to login my account today to check how much my final payment would be – it’s deactivated 🙂 so nothing to pay…next up I phoned my old number – still working 🙂 She REALLY did what she said she was going to do!
Read MoreVodafone – an update
Just taken a call from the office of the Director of Vodafone – a very nice lady apologised for the confusion and has promised to cancel the ‘contract’ today with no early termination fees due from me. She has also said, that as I no longer wish to port the number across, she’ll arrange for the line to remain open for 3 months to catch any calls from people who don’t have my new number. RESULT! 🙂 EDIT: Job done! Dear Mr Bennett. Thank you for your time today on the phone. I would like to confirm that I have […]
Read MoreVodacon – an update
So, a few more emails have gone back and forth – what they are saying now is that only 5-10% of calls are recorded and they’d need the sales agent’s name to find the call made to me. This sounds like bullshit to me – surely it would be marked on my account who had ‘sold’ me a contract? Anyway, I posted my woes on the Giffgaff forum and got this reply: Oh Vodafone! How they continue to live on their old reputation, but are one of the naffest networks about. Ok I had problems with Vodafone and I managed […]

Or VodaCON as I now call them are a bunch of pricks. When I had 2 months remaining on my 24 month contract, I called them up to enquire how much it would cost to pay off the contract as I had seen some really good deals on PAYG (Giffgaff) and was planning on switching. I got a call back from their sales people who offered me a 300 minute, unlimited texts and internet* for £10 a month. What’s more, the guy informed me, it would be a 30 day rolling contract so I could cancel anytime by giving them […]
Read MoreApparently I “move too quietly”
😐 Tuesday is steak night at the Gash (the local Wetherspoon), so Darren and I decided to go and eat some cow. A pleasant evening was had – lots of chatting while eating our cow-based meals, and a couple of pints were imbibed (it’s quite weird going out on a Tuesday night – you don’t want to drink too much ‘cos it’s not even halfway through the week*) Leaving relatively early, I arrived back at Lisa’s at about 9.30 or so and let myself in – this in itself is a relatively noisy affair, as my key tends to stick […]
