There were two pairs included after all; it was the salesman that told me they were not. Interesting that when the colossal box arrived with the usual stuff on the outside saying what the TV can do, there is no mention of Blu-Ray 3D capability.

Sat here asking Google about a VW Polo display question, and it keeps giving me answers about Android and Apple. I'm actually considering time warping back to Yahoo - Google are getting worse every year. If they could just stop collecting personal data and lumping it in their system might work again.

Same fcuking sh1te today. My credit card has a certain supermarket's logo on it, and they've just decided that I'm no longer the owner of my card, even though I eventually got it to work on a site. What is it with these useless cnuts? They must cost the economy millions in abandoned baskets.

Toothache, every sh1tty job going in work, people wanting assistance, and some bitch who wants to poke her nose into my private life. It's been a brilliant day so far.

A week without telephone or internet!!! Bah!
The telco decided to give my line to a new customer on Thursday last week! They just didn't tell me!
I rang up several times each day to find out what was going on, but they kept saying that everything was fine and that their system was showing that the router was making a connection... Only my router was showing no DSL and no connection!
On Monday, I called my wife and mistakenly dialled our landline number, only to have the phone answered by a complete stranger! We were both shocked, but it was then that the problem became apparent. So, back to the telco... It took a further 3 days for them to sort it out! We finally got our connection back at lunch time today.
Annoyed, moi? You bet!
So, an email to the telco for compensation is in order, I think. Possibly copied to the ombudsman.
The connection is only running at about 37mbps at the moment, but at lunch time it was reporting 26, so it is getting better. Hopefully it will level out at around 48mbps again.

A friend of mine recently time-warped back to the 1990's with BT when receiving a landline call meant you would have to reconnect to the router. I thought it was hilarious, especially since I'd told them to get rid of BT over and over again.

Well, you don't want to wear out the battery. That or if it's on there's a chance the magic will escape when they're not looking. My Dad used to be a bugger for turning his phone off... right after he'd sent you a text message or tried to phone. It was infuriating to say the least.

Yes, that's an absolute favourite in my family. They might as well walk half a mile to a phone box once in a blue moon as carry a phone.

I turn my mobile off at home! I hava a perfectly good landline that rings a loud bell. It also annoys me when companies expect you to ring a mobile rather than a landline, almmost as much as those that deliberateley answer and put you in a queue so they get the income. If people want to talk to me, or want my business, they can at least use a little respect!!

Women, get your head in the game when you're shopping!
Don't be having fcuking reunions and stopping dead in a packed supermarket! Oh, and maybe get your money ready while you're waiting?
Sorry, but the blokes aren't doing it.

I think my New Year's Resolution will be to stop making the effort to sidestep people walking toward me and looking at their phones. Sick of these [LIFTED].
