The kids round here talk a mile a minute and all congregate nearby, it's starting to drive me mad.

So I go back and have a look out of curiosity and, sure enough, the same item is listed again at the same price. It wasn't there this afternoon. So we're trying again. I suspect the problem was I dared to order two last time, but we'll see.

ION, my credit company has returned me half of the money from an idiotic order my mother placed, and has yet to list a refund for something from the end of July... If I didn't live in the timewarp that is Belfast, I'd consider going back to cash and actual stores.

And it continues. Broken items, messed up orders, clueless staff... Spent half an hour looking at t-shirts and deciding which ones to actually order while a sale is on (American site so, you know, postage). Only to find at checkout that my card is being rejected because, going by the bank's site, they're doing maintenance right across the board...WHY THE CNUTING FCUK HAS IT BEEN SO DIFFICULT JUST TO SUCCESSFULLY BUY SOMETHING ONLINE RECENTLY?

Look, if you're at a petrol station and there are a lot of motorists queueing for the pumps, don't do your weekly bloody shop in there before paying. Just pay for your petrol and [LIFTED] off to the nearest supermarket.

Credit card company is refusing to answer the phone

You should totally update your Firefox installation for all-important security purposes - then watch it fcuk up your entire FF installation

I'll leave it for another user of this machine to install it sometime next week while I'm off-shift. (8+)

I just got another update. Works so far. Seems they realised they ballsed up with the previous one

Office 365 Clutter folder.
What the actual [LIFTED]?!?
[LIFTED] off!
[LIFTED] the [LIFTED] off, Clutter folder, you cocking [LIFTED] [LIFTED]

Why do people have to make things so bloody complicated?

My father in law grew up in the GDR and so doesn't know the arse of a computer from its face. All he wanted to do was copy some photos from his camera to his PC. My brother in law gave him a 22-step process and got him in a right lather.

1. New folder
2. Copy
3. Paste

Poor bastard

On my PC, I just stick the card in (or connect the camera) and click on the "import" button that pops up.

Gameseek are trying to rip me off on a figure I ordered - packaging was held together with stickers and the figure had clearly been used. I told them I've spent hundreds over the last few months and I should never have been sent the item in that condition anyway. I'd already been refunded for it's previous order. Return it my arse.

One of the few Android games I play and indeed spent money on now won't launch after an update - possibly because it seems to be trying to connect to Google's data-harvesting attempts via Google Games or whatever it's called and Google+

Maybe it's age, maybe it's just me.

I bloody detest the increase in use of portmanteau words - I mean we all use them and many are well established and sensible, like camcorder or workaholic.

It's the seemingly desperate effort to crowbar new ones in wherever possible in an effort to be hip & trendy, and their widespread adoption by the news organisations:

To name a few - Phablet, Brangelina, Glamping (ffs) and my current favourites: Brexit and Grexit

Just [LIFTED] off!

It's not just you, glamping is especially awful.
