I wish I did, perhaps there'd be an improvement then.

Soooo.... someone has just asked for a post sale PayPal invoice. For a $10 transaction. Apparently, the PayPal receipt isn’t enough for their accountant. I have no idea how to generate a post-sale invoice using PayPal for that transaction. The whole thing was handled by PayPal, including fees, so as far as I’m concerned, it’s a PayPal job. Of course, I can’t find anything on the PayPal site to help me, and so I used their email help desk form, could not find an option that fitted my needs, so chose the closest one. I get an email back telling me how to handle the dispute I’ve raised.

FFS.

In the 8 years I’ve been selling my small blocks of code via PayPal, none, and I mean NOONE has ever asked for an invoice before. Not even the person who bought everything I had to offer. I think this person has a picky accountant.

An invoice doesn't have to be electronically created, just send one as an email itemising vendor, buyer and goods or services as received.

My inconsiderate @rse of a neighbour in the flat upstairs decided it would be a great idea to start doing some DIY at 12.30am this morning. First a bit of drilling the walls, then about 15 minutes of hammering, following by another 10 minutes of hoovering. Fecking great, just the thing when you're trying to get over to sleep! Presumably he doesn't have a bloody job to get up for then.

I would have gone up there to ask him what he was thinking of, but thought I'd lose my temper and smack him in his big, fat, stupid, senseless head! And I'm not a violent man, honest. The tit.

There's not a single bone in my body that could have allowed that to continue.

National Insurance contributions payments gaps.

That is all.

Mind you, lovely speaking with natives from The Toon. I'm sure we'll sort it all out eventually.

TBF, I think at that time of night it's most likely it was 'emergency repair' rather than 'DIY'.

My overdue payment still hasn't been paid. Looking like it'll be around £500-600 now.

Quite possibly although my last neighbours decided at 11:30pm to build a bar ready for the last World Cup.

Yep, you'd think, wouldn't you? But from experience this couple don't seem to have a normal sense of the time of the day.

If it's not putting music on at 2am, it's their washing machine on full spin at 4.30am. The first weekend they moved in, they spent the whole night arguing at full volume, screaming, shouting, throwing things at each other and even overturning furniture - started at midnight and went on til 5.30am, by which time I had to get up for work at 6am so no sleep that night! I reported it to the landlord the next morning and they apologised saying it was a one-off and won't happen again - it's happened a couple of times since. Guess they're just that type of people - selfish, mindless tw@ts - lot of them about apparently (and they always seem to end up in the flats above me!).

It's not as bad as builders. Seriously. The law is that you can't start drilling and other noisy sh!t before 7am, so in my experience they always start with the noisiest possible job at exactly 7am.

Then at 9am when they're sure everyone is actually awake, they stop for breakfast and spend the rest of the day quietly laying bricks or whatever until they knock off at 4pm.

Seriously; 99% of normal people are fast asleep at 7am so sh*t the f*ck up until a sensible time of day you selfish cnuts!

As for the washing machine on at 4am, are you on dual metered electric? If so, that's what you're supposed to do. The real problem is obviously that the building is built from bloody cardboard. You should not be able to hear that in the next flat!!!

I'm so happy to be living in a detached house. I can and do play Dub at massive power at 2am and the neighbours can't hear it.

Google translate. Reasonably good for translation, and if it isn't then at least it provides a few laughs. But I wish it would stick to translating and not converting. Leave miles or kilometres as there were please, especially as you don't actually convert, just swap one word for another so that 10 miles = 10km.

Got a problem with a PC at work involving Outlook.

Turns out it's Quicktime doing something freaky - she's the only user with an iPhone, so she has iTunes installed. Everyone else has a 'droid.

FFS What, Why and How does QT have anything to do with Outlook?!

Online banking:
My current accounts and savings accounts have vanished from my bank's website.
All that's left is my credit card.

They'd better fix it soon. I've got bills to pay.

It is always good for a laugh! I've never seen it do a decent job of anything I've given it.
