do you want to have your cake......and eat it!

Got it sorted today at last, it was for my cousins 40th so we wanted to get him one with a photo on it, seems as if all Tesco's in East London have knackered machines at present.

Having trouble sleeping recently which is vey annoying. So tired.

The Useless Parcel Service (UPS), what a * load of old shit they are

[DevilsDuck]

I thought UPS stood for Useless Pile of Shite

My favourite (non-Chris Moyles) messageboard is shutting down. Gah.

I thought UPS stood for Useless Pile of Shite

I branded them Useless C*nts today, I mean for * sake, they were to deliver something to our engineers today at 10:30am and got there at 1:57pm because when they arrived at 10:26am the site was closed, except the engineers had been there since 8:30am & it was a site that's open 24 hours anyway. I chased them up six times today & they didn't ring me back at all.

That UPS ad on the TV is full of shit.

[chrysostom]

iplayer, and it's CONSTANT stopping of what i'm listening to, losing the place of where i am. is this happening to anyone else?

[Johnny 1989]

UPS, absolute * useless *, today we had four packages going to an address near us, however they delivered three of the boxes to our stores & the other one (from what I last know) hadn't turned up at the site. The address was clearly marked all over it but the useless wankers can't even get that right

Something else I just found out today, my Mum got her gold bracelet that my Dad gave her about 25 years ago, stolen off of her on a bus tonight, she didn't realise until she got off the bus unfortunately.

[Yudster]

Ok, I don't for one minute want to upset anyone here, but if she didn't realise it was gone until later, how does she know it was stolen? If I got off a bus and realised my bracelet or something was missing I'd assume I'd dropped it rather than that I'd been mugged without noticing...?

Friend of mine lost a 24 carat gold bracelet once, a mega expensive present from her then fiance. She thought she'd lost it, and he was pissed off because she didn't have it when they broke up, the bastard was going to ask for it back. She found it 8 years later in the bottom of a Selfridges bag squashed in the corner of her wardrobe when she moved house. I thought that was a result, hope your mum gets hers back Johnny - a bit quicker as well!

[SAV1OUR]

I saw a wallet on the opposite seat from me on the bus once, enquired to the person sat behind it, she just said 'Nah, not mine'. A minute later. 'You know what actually, yeah, it's my mates'. I also saw the head of the person below the seat, it must've rolled off after not being screwed on properly(!)

I did ask her that actually, however she said it was one with a stiff clasp that was very difficult to open, it was also not a loose fitting one either (i.e. it wouldn't slide off of her hand) Plus the person in question was acting very susipiciously on the bus, the person on the bus had their kid in the pram then suddenly took the kid out of her pram & sat her on her lap of which the kid kept "accidently kicking" her arm of which it was on, she's kidn of put 2+2 together but she could be wrong, I don't know.

She has had this happen to her once before with her purse on the exact same route (86 Stratford-Romford) and I myself have had a wallet pinched off me on that route as well. There seems to be quite a few pick pocketers on that route (and the 25 Oxford Street-Ilford as well)

Unfortunately it's the only route that runs near us, and it can be very packed most of the time as well. I did suggest reporting it to the old Bill as I said to her that they'll probably would pawn it in for cash but she said there was no point.

I hope it is a case of it being misplaced she has had it 15-20 years (not 25 as I stated above, that was a different one), she's just glad it wasn't the one she got for her 18th Birthday (which she's had 48 years) as that had a lot more of a sentimental value to her.

Not only have I had trouble sleeping lately, but last night I had this freaky dream where I had a baby and it had no eyes, nose and mouth and was bright blue like a smurf. Whats all that about!? - Also i've come down with a cold and feel generally crappy.... On the brighter side - the weekend is almost here!

[Latina]

Sometimes my dreams get more disturbed when I'm not well, so maybe your two complaints are related!

[chrysostom]

1,500 words of my dissertation that i need to finish in the next 2 hours.

(yes i'm aware it's my fault, but i'm allowed to be annoyed by it).

[Ilovematt]

My friend who wants my help but will not listen. I'm talking to her, I say pardon ? and she is talking to her cat !!!!!!!!!!!

Why do I bother ????????

[Nicola_Red]

I keep sleeping with people who are blatantly unsuitable. It always seems like a good idea at midnight...*sigh*

[Boboff]

Don't be sad. At least you got laid........

Try web sites? Sober choice may be better, try www.lonelytattoedbikers.com, I am sure you'll find what you are looking for.

Unsuitable for what though?

[Nicola_Red]

That's a good question. Maybe unsuitable isn't quite the right word. Just...I like them too much, or not enough, or they're otherwise committed, there's always something...

[Johnny 1989]

The weather at present, I know it's Autumn/Winter but isn't it normally a bit brighter & less wetter this time of year?

[Yudster]

No, it really isn't - but the problem is that this autumn apparently started in August!

[Johnny 1989]

No, it really isn't - but the problem is that this autumn apparently started in August!

Ah that might be it it does seem to have gone on forever this year, June & July were nice & then all of a sudden it's just been overcast & misrable, they mentioned we'd get an Indian Summer this year as well, Indian Summer my arse.

[Latina]

It's actually gorgeous in St Andrews today (wrong thread I know), and I don't feel bad for saying so because we usually have crap weather (or at least constant cloud cover) on days when the rest of the country seems to be enjoying a heatwave.

That's very true about the elongated Autumn of 2010 though.

Seeing my friend, who professes to hate Moyles and was the person who drew my attention to the 'sack Moyles to save 6 Music' group on facebook by joining it, laughing at the show as he was lying in my bed this morning. "Can you tickle a goat...IN THE CUBE?"

Is this why he's unsuitable?

I really hope not. My opinion of you would change.
