I am extremely confused.

:sabre:
the above should explain my mood exactly hehe
as I was trying to sleep, suddenly, GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAA EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (that is the best i can describe the noise of bitumen being cut with a saw) at fricken 11pm. Could they have done this at 9pm when there is only marginally more traffic than now? I have emailed of many complaints. And I want to stab people.... sorry if you never hear from Shiara and Lucy again

ANGER!!
So I've been trying to sort out internet in this damn house for the best part of two months now... Initially it was purely BT being arseholes, they charged us £125 connection fee, for which they had to send out a guy to do about 5 minutes work, but oops sorry, he can't come out until 3 weeks time. So eventually he arrives, does his £1500/hour work, and we can apply for the internet. We're using Be, which is a good student internet company, and I must say an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was supposed to take up to 3 weeks to sort out, but here I am, 5 days later (including the weekend) holding the router and looking at the email that says its all activated and ready to switch on.
And now our electricity keeps tripping, despite having gone round the entire damn house and unplugged every single thing I can find. So I can't plug it in, and my phone, which I'm using to post this, is rapidly running out of battery with no way to charge it.
RAGE, CHICKEN-FUELLED EXPLOSIVE RAGE!!!!!!!

That seriously sucks. Frikkin bloody utilities preceded by the whores of the telecommunication world (they rent out their services). You might have to leave your pit and branch out to the LRC mate...which still jips. Good Luck angry man.

Bloody credit crunch!!! I can't get an extension on my credit card limit or a new credit card even though I'm living within my means, with relatively low levels of debt and a good credt rating. Just because other people can't handle their finances......!!

Hey Mez, I'm in finance and if you complain and state your case, you might get lucky and a human being might be able to help you, it looks like you might just have got an automated response. Its also a good idea to become a transactor as quickly as possible, meaning you pay off the debt at the end of the month, because all debt left on credit cards eats away your credit rating. Good luck

I've done that. Didn't work. Six months ago, they were throwing credit at me that I didn't want. Now, my income is higher and my student debts are lower but I can't get anything! Infuriating.

Aw, thats crap! who do you bank with? But I suppose it don't really matter, they're all in shit creek. BTW I don't mean complain to the drone behind the desk, I meant actually logging it as a real complaint and stating your case. Its worked for me in the past with HSBC, their credit department use to be top notch. I'm now with the co-op and I'm in easy street at the moment, so I don't need to test my limits...yet. But if this is what you've done ignore my feeble efforts to assist

I was eating a toblerone, and I had something on my finger that I took for chocolate so I licked it off. Whatever it was it sure as shit wasn't chocolate. My tongue is fucking numb!
It was a Thelomen Toblerone and you're right - that wasn't chocolate.

I sense I need to reemploy myself as your work/essay mentor. I remember we had some success with me and getting you to do work!
All I need is a baseball bat, a furry toy, a bar of chocolate, lubrication and a box of tissues and we can get started.

Try going out with a soldier... I'm tempted to wear dark glasses in case she thinks I'm looking at other women and decides to break me in half.
Still, she's great though.
