ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Don't answer the phone - don't reply to messages!! I'm assuming they're still in business!!!! I keep calling and calling and calling and calling . . . . . . one front spoiler already lost, second one late (or maybe lost - who knows - I don't because they don't pick up the phone or reply to messages left!). Pissed off?? Oh yeah!!! I need a coffee! We've just sold 2 houses and moved into one . . . builders in every room whilst we try to live in it (“you want dust with your tea love?”!) - BT tried to give me Jewsons telephone number, Sky had to come back twice, Orange can't connect me to broadband as the last owner had Pipex and they won't get the hell off the line until a 4 week period has passed - phoned Orange again - you'll have to wait 5 to 10 days even after the 4 weeks are up!!! We lost one cat for 2 weeks which was later found about half a mile away thinner and noisier!! My car is still not back!!!! My house sale is still carrying on whilst we deal with the new house and is getting delayed! Kitchen floor needs to come up as one of the radiator pipes has been pissing water under the floorboards since 1984 and we're living on a pond!! The new kitchen arrives shortly and the old one is still in! Plus the flooring needs to come up and a new one needs to go down before the new kitchen can be fitted!! Plus we're getting married in July and I still need to book cars and a honeymoon!! And my car is still not back!! When it comes back (after six months - did I ever mention that bit!!) I've got to run the new engine in, go down to Interpro and then, when it's run in even more, go to Weston Performance for a boost controller and a map session - all before Dragonball (watched the DVD last night - looks good on a 46" telly complete with dust!). Looks like the new bodykit won't be fitted on time now as parts (only 1) are being hauled here by a one legged Bavarian lesbian with asthma and a piss-poor sense of direction! The wheels and tyres should be on though! I don't know whether to laugh, cry, shout or just curl up in a corner and giggle in an insane and frightening way! Hug anybody??!!

ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Oh I'm sure they're all there - I'm just seriously hacked off with being arsed around by everybody I speak to on a phone these days! 10 calls to Orange, 10 different people, 10 different conversations about the same problem, 10 different lies, 10 shades of bullshit and only 1 sodding solution - no bloody broadband!!! I don't ask for a lot in life, just people doing what they say they'll do, when they said they'll do it, for the price they said they'd do it for with minimum fuss and minimum hassle - but NO! Call centres manned by morons with the memory span of a goldfish and a stock set of answers that don't correlate in any way to my questions!!

Daston Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 have you tried his email address rather than PM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm having a very strong coffee as we speak!! Just waiting for a guy to come up to the office so that I can order 2 new bathroom suites for the house! Apparently, when the kitchen comes, it'll be in about 100 boxes which we have to check off as they come through the door! If any are missing, it can be weeks before you get the right bits apparently . . . . . what's the betting!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I can see how that would help. "He's not talking to you but he's talking to the rest of us!" lol, well I did think that, but then there was no mention of PMs in the OP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I haven't PMed anybody - I use that old device called the telephonic noise shover - I'm reliably informed that they still function this far north (the string stretches this far!) but they're either sunbathing outside or they've all pissed off to Eastbourne to eat ice creams and watch fat mothers smack their kids round the head as dad wobbles all over the road pissed singing ‘When Irish Eyes are Smiling’ and kicking stones at cars!

ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Jesus! I feel for you! I have no idea how I'd cope with that onslaught! I come to the office for a rest but clients keep bugging me so I've decided to try and take some time off to annoy the builders at the house by getting in the way and asking dumb questions! But each time I get off the chair a client calls and asks me to sit down and draw a pretty picture for them! We're getting low on coffee!! I could go down the gym again but I ache from the weekend after filling a 6 yard skip with the walls from the back garden! Plus I went last night and was bolloxed when I came back! Oh, and the missus has changed jobs and is about to change again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 I see the only way forward is therapy. £2,000 to be told it all stems from wanting to bang my mum when I was still in the womb - no thanks! I'll do what the Yanks do - buy a gun and shoot all my neighbours then try and get my inevitable chase by the cops on telly culminating in a big stand-off where I get pounced on by 10 fat cops who then proceed to pump 600 rounds into me - just to incapacitate me! Either that or I can by an ounce from one of the BMXing kids who keep stopping outside our house to watch the telly from the road (its that big!!). I think one of the cats has shit in the house (again) but has done it in such a way that the smell lingers in one room whilst the actual festering pile lies undiscovered in another room!! Sort of ventriloquism but with a more sinister edge!! I'll find it at 3am in the dark as it squelches through my toes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
