I bought a Dell Inspiron last year. The weekend before last I got a critical error - cpu fan defunct. Last Tuesday it went back to PC World/Currys for a repair under warranty. Today I get it back and it has 17 deep scratches on the case that it didn't have before. Phoned them - they said the engineer who repaired it logged the damage on receipt so it wasn't their fault. I swore a lot. Told them they had monkeys working for them. They are picking it up again on Thursday for an inspection and they may still claim they are not responsible for the damage. I understand they have a duty of care and the guy who collected it should have taken any pictures of damage there and then. They told me that I didn't need to put it in anything when I handed it to them and that the driver would have a specific box to put it in.

I'm trying to use the 'live' chat with a delivery company. How can a computer bot be described as 'live'!! And then the bastard thing just regurgitates the same crap info I can see and have found on their website!!!! Fukkers

Currently 42 in the queue for a chat with a human!! LOL

She went to Egypt last year for a private gig, and failed to self-isolate when she got back.

She held a private birthday party in a posh London restaurant, paid/bribed the Manager to open up for her and her friends/switch off the CCTV/ and keep fire doors locked (She's in breach of the fire safety order there). The restaurant owners have since had to have a licence hearing with the council. The manager who got paid the £5k has lost his job, the restaurant may lose their licence.

She's now quarantining in a hotel in OZ, as she's a coach of THE VOICE OZ, so is taking up a place that an Australian could have had, and there are many who are struggling to get home, as flights are limited.

She's utterly utterly selfish. On top of that she should know better, as her Mother is a Doctor!

There are many links out there, I didn't fancy posting numerous ones on here.

"I'm dealing with this softly"

he said it a lot (even though at that point I was very calm). I had to say that I had no idea what he meant when he said that. When he explained that he was dealing with me gently because he couldn't answer my questions it was a bit like he pressed the launch button.

What a patronising and unhelpful phrase!!

And said often in a bored and unhelpful tone

You may have been talking to someone autistic who is repeating his CBT out loud because he senses conflict.
Not the best type of person for a job like that but it means they can fill their disabled quota without paying for wheelchair access to be put in.

My 93 year old French father-in-law in Cholet, Maine-et-Loire, whom I am very fond of, and who has survived but is still being treated for bladder cancer, has still not had a Covid-19 jab!

Fuck you, you incompetent cvnts in the Élysée Palace and the Berlaymont Building.

Could have been far worse, an elderly English gent was offered the vaccine twice recently.

Have you informed The International Criminal Courts about this ever worsening violation?

The International Criminal Courts aren't there for this sort of thing, it's UK workers tax pounds that are being wasted on the inefficient vaccine administration and if you're happy to just suck that up as a tax payer then the International Criminal Courts don't give a monkeys.

I don't know why you're happy about it, but it's your money.

I was just extracting the urine on account of Saga showing cantankerous old knacker symptoms.
At his advanced stage of elderlyness and possible associated prostrate issues, extracting the urine might even be regarded as helping him out.
<shudder>.

Go on then I’ll bite. Tell me what workers tax has been wasted?

The people ringing around - are mainly volunteers, and he only had one jab, the nhs mainly uses IP telephony now, so calls in the uk cost nothing.

Apart from some old goat having to answer his phone three times, I’m at a loss to see the damage?

As for the wrong dob, you have just as much responsibility to check the data people hold on you. My DOB is checked with just about every NHS interaction bar general GP visits.

Having an X-ray - can we check your name and dob, having an injection - name and dob, having ANY procedure - name and dob.

I’m probably one of the fiercest critics of the NHS management malaise, but come on, two phone calls extra - that cost nothing. Meh.
