Finding 3 dodgy transactions on my debit card totals £100+ and all for Apple store / apps

FFS, apparently I've got dodgy charges going back to November last year, all say Apple but Apple deny any knowledge, will have to wait and see what gets refunded for a total.

£400 back in my account where it belongs.
I'm pissed that I didn't notice, yet happy I had enough kicking around to not notice and happier that it's back

FFS, another Apple transaction has appeared, need to let it go through so I can see what card it came off and then have a rant at the bank.
I'd not mind but the bloody bank have had me approving every single transaction since the first lot were reported, but they let this one go through unapproved

That I can't find an amusing what three words address for the new house.

There's someone on here with a near perfect one for them. I'm mildly envious.

I'm not sure if this should be here or in the stupid work sayings thread.

I was having software problems today so had to get on to IT.
I was told there was a global outage but when I said "Oh, so other people are having problems?" I got the reply "No, just you."

So, a global outage only affecting me

It'd affect you wherever you are in the world.

Now you know what the IT department think of you.

[KungFooBob]

I work in IT. I've made up so much shite just to get people off the phone so I can get back to posting shit on motorcycle forums, you wouldn't believe.

At least he never had to write down the id-10-t code.

[Pirahna]

I work in IT.

90% of the people on here work in IT.

90% of the people on here work in IT.

We're all work shy losers, who seek validation on the internets that we can't achieve in real life, or something.

Our Council has changed our recycling scheme. We now have a black bin for general waste which has moved to fortnightly collection. We've had some self-assembly furniture delivered and the i bagged up the unrecyclable polystyrene in 3 bags and put it next to the already full black bin. The bin men left it, but not before putting this sticker on it, which incidentally, the bin men threw the sticker backing on my lawn. So we are capped at oen bin full. Fuck knows what the streets will look like after Xmas!

Bins and recycling BMP too.

We are allowed 4 black bags every 2 week's for general rubbish, a glass bin and tins bin every 2 week's and 4 smallish garden waste bags every 2 weeks - no thought to how big house and garden is, number of occupants etc. Anything over your allowance, they just leave and they come this time of year they wonder why they don't get a Christmas drink? Nobs....

Garden waste just moving over to wheelie bins so I've subscribed to 2 of the biggest bins they do, so will load them to the top with as much garden waste as I can - I'll get my money out of them!

[weeksy]

Yeah the blokes who are walking the streets in the rain are deffo the ones making decision high above about what can or can't be collected.

[Mr. Dazzle]

And have you all seen the state of most council's finances?

I always expect that if I have "alot" of rubbish I have to take it to the tip. I suspect it's mostly because "bin limits" have always been a thing in the time i've been a grown up with my own house etc.

Yeah I get that but who's to know if they throw 4 or 5 black bags in the truck or empty an additional garden waste bag full of grass clippings? Just being dicks about it and promoting fly tipping.
Old lady next door puts next to nothing out so it's not like the truck is full with her stuff....

Thing is, if they do it for one person, they then have to do it for all...and everyone takes the piss. Give people an inch and all that. I wouldn't arse myself with "making exceptions" were I in their place.

BTW: MK council have actually been a bit sensible for Christmas! They've said they won't collect garden bins at XMAS 9who's doing gardening after all?) and instead will collect the recycling more until Jan.

And that's the answer.

Our local one accepts all sorts of stuff.

Yeah that's why now on top of our band G council tax that I now also pay extra for 2 garden waste wheelies and an additional fee to empty them.

Local council tips have now adopted the scheme where you have to pre-book a 10min slot to take your other rubbish and not surprisingly weekends are booked weeks in advance. No wonder we are seeing piles of shit dumped in farm gateways etc.

You're correct of course, but even my local council don't try and fight it

I bloody love the pre-book system Prior to it there was always a massive queue at the tip, now I just drive straight in. It takes 30s to book online, excellent system IMO.
