@ dilli hope and pray that 2016 is your year for all your dreams and wishes to come true.

@ den your Aunt is in my thoughts and prayers.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

+1 I really couldn't put it better.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

To get a text (on a Saturday) from the NHS to state I have an appointment on the Monday. An appointment that I have no knowledge about and there's no way of finding out what it is till Monday. Very annoying.

A lot of serious stuff is going on at the mo, so this just makes me even more anxious than normal.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Did the text make any reference to a location?
I sometimes get a recorded message stating time/location for Monday apps as in your case.
Hope you manage to calm down and the tests are favourable.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No, just states time, date and a number to call if I will not be attending the appointment (which is just an answerphone till Monday).

Normally I do get either the recorded messages, press 1 if attending etc, and if that failes it then goes to the landline, other times such as this I just get a text message. Though they are handy, I think might ask to stop these texts if that's possible as it's not the first time it's happened.

And thank you, I am trying to forget about till Monday at least. It's probably test results as got treatment / ops already planned hence this unwanted stress on top.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

When it is the recorded message, the option to opt out of receiving messages is included within the message.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cheers, will listen out for that next time. :tu:

"DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME"

I mean FFS this statement should be banned, if you try this at home the gene pool doesn't need you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just what I need, my dental crown has just fell out. I dread to think how much this is going to cost hopefully it won't be that much. On a plus side I have managed to get a appointment tomorrow at 09:15 as they just had someone cancel a appointment. On a funny note when I told hubby he did not even know that I had a crown and when he asked how long I have had it I simply replied more years than I care to remember ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I wouldn't have thought it would be that much unless you have to have a new crown. Are you NHS or Private?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm one of the lucky one's I'm NHS. I don't think it should be that much as I reckon it just needs to be set back in place, don't think I need a new crown.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

From my experiences l don't think you will need a new crown weenie.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thank den and I'm in agreement with you, I'm hoping it just needs to be secured back in.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Over the years my wife has had 3 crowns fitted, 2 have come loose and had to be re secured but eventually the teeth had to be extracted due in part to the tooth braking up.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'd rather spend eternity in hell watching Justin Bieber, than see my butcher dentist.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If not happy with your NHS dentist, try changing it. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If you can find a new one...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Doesn't seem a problem in Cambridge from a simple Google, lots say they're taking on new patients, i guess it varies but you can get a list for the area.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l know quite a few places down here where its very hard to get a new dentist.

My dentist is really good especially with the wee one.
Tooth fixed and was only charged £9.04 now that's good IMO.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That's excellent weenie.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I have a good dentist, bug so far all I need is clean and polish. I am quite lucky,

Oh, and found that way back in the late 1800's, one of my ancestors married policeman, who went on to become Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Dorset Police.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes and I should have had sight of these changes as the overall network architect on this account but some one decided that this one should have been standard patching/information only :mad:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Ouch, someone needs shooting. Hopefully it didn't cause you to many issues. are you using chef etc. ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nothing so funky for this nope. Although most of the infrastructure is sitting on vblocks these boxes are pretty much out-of-band due to their placement in the network and certain security constraints. They're sitting on an ad-hoc ESX farm which is administered by hands and eyes. They're software based security gateways doing some element level crypto on SOAP payloads coming in via a number of sources.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think my moan / hate of the day is people who assume I'm some kind of idiot because I don't agree with them.

No, it just means I'm not agreeing with you - not that I'm stupid or anything.

If you don't know me ASK. I very rarely withheld information about myself.

Quite frankly nuts to you (you know hwo you are)!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well you are from Sandy!

*runs away!*

Note for anyone not from the area: I live in a town right next to Dilli, and thus it is my duty to poke fun at people from Sandy! Of course I am joking and totally agree with his sentiment. Usually this sort of behaviour is also accompanied with no valid logic behind it, but it's easier to call someone an idiot than to prove someone wrong!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Scam calls...
Just got one of them scam calls about the accident I was in :shocked: first I've heard LOL anyway I asked them who they were and in fact I believe this to be a scam call and illegal not to mention that I'm actually on the TPS service. The gentleman said it was not illegal and I simply replied I think you have the wrong information as I am in fact a Lawyer then they hung up rather quickly, which was a pity as I was enjoying being a pretend Lawyer in regards to my pretend accident. I do hope they phone back as that was quite fun and has made my day tbh :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Haha!

It's a shame the call didn't proceed further. I wonder what sort of accident you had? :p

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I had one of those calls a month or so ago, and I strung them along. They were going they could get me lots of money for my injury. Until I said, oh and will driving without a licence affect my claim. They went quiet, said repeat please. I took great pleasure in telling them that I have never driven as my sight isn't good enough for driving. Swear he said a rude word as he hung up...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My printer finally gave up the ghost.

Mind you it's not all bad, I've been after an A3 printer for ages so time to shell out I think.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes sadly things don't last for ever dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well Done Weenie, I had a wee laugh at that. Sorry your printer is almost gone Dill, More expense I expect for you,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Reminds me of a rather wierd scam call I got a few months back.

I had a call on my Landline from "Barking Police Station" claiming they'd picked up one of my cousins trying to use my bank card. Sounded quite legit and they had my name. When I asked which cousin it was, they gave me a name I didn't recognise, and while I am certain none of my cousins would have taken my card, I do know people who would nick it, and would have probably given my name if they'd have been picked up.

So, I checked my wallet and sure enough, all the cards were there. I said they could just send it to my local Police station and I'd pick it up. They said they couldn't, so I said I needed to phone the bank. They said OK, but to call back later.

I called my bank (from my mobile), spoke to their security department who said they had never heard of this, but it was probably an attempt at fraud, and I should monitor my account for a few days. Nothing came out.

Of course, I never called back (in fact, I unplugged the phone, plugged it back in again and dialled the speaking clock to check it). I never heard anything from them again.

Websites that object to my having adblocking plugins..they can sneck off.I can live without their sites.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

But how long can those sites live (for free) without adverts?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Not my problem..Especially as most of the time what they offer is crap..

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The increasing habit of car drivers, especially taxi drivers, of honking their horn to announce their arrival (and often departure) at all times of day and night.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thankfully,where I work, the boss is quite hot on following established procedures. As such, we are all ITIL trained and almost *nothing* gets changed without a properly reviewed and approved RFC. It may seem bureaucratic, but we rely on our IT infrastructure. If any aspect of it is changed and that causes problems, the Faculty may be left unable to function. If someone makes a minor change or emergency change (such as rebooting a server), we can submit the RFC after the event. But if someone upgraded the kernel on one of the servers without an approved RFC in place and outside our approved maintenance windows, I suspect within an hour, they'd be looking for a new job.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Annoys me as well. Lost my temper one day when someone was beeping for 15 minutes. Yelled out if they didn't stop I'd come and give them something to beep their horn about.

£250 for my watch servicing :shocked:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You would be better off buying a new watch Grim.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Take Care Dill,

---------- Post added at 13:24 ---------- Previous post was at 13:22 ----------

Terrible price to pay for a service, for your watch .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What make/model and age watch is it?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I sympathise - when I had my Breitling serviced last year, it was over £300 (and they don't even give you a "loaner" whilst your's is away being serviced.... ;) )

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's an early 1960's Omega which belonged to my dad. I was surprised to find the watch repair shop in the local Morrison's is an approved Omega repair centre!

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Useful to know - which Morrisons?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The watch hospital in Wakefield Morrison's - there's one at the White Rose too. They replaced a couple of bits and do seem to have used genuine parts judging from the packaging the old parts returned with the watch.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

250 quid blimey, mind you any Omega is pretty serious money.

I bought a Vostok Amfibia (the legendary Russian diver watch) for 50 quid and it's an amazing bit of kit for the money. It'll probably cost more to service than it cost new ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I actually thought £250 was quite reasonable. I was quoted £3-400 for mine but hopefully will be less than that.

I've always liked the 60s vintage Omegas too, very nice.

I've been trying to contact the DWP for several days now to have our Income Support stopped (pensions and therefore relative poverty start soon).

Out of frustration I visited the local office this morning, but was told I needed to make an appointment "sometime next week". And I have to phone to make the appointment!!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

@ dilli sorry to hear that hope you feel better soon.

@ Taf Good Luck with getting an appointment I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Neighbour modified their plans, applied for an extension and it was all done quietly, didn't find out until day after public consultation had finished. Got approved last week, found out today and I am fuming. Same objections apply as the previous application.

7 attempts to call them with no answer so far. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If those are things people moan about then they should count themselves lucky.

I'm finding it quite hard to moan these days in the grand scheme of things. Saying that being this way changes the way you are and how you put up with others.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I got through to them at 8 this morning, after the obligatory 6 minutes of robot talk and "information". Appointment at 2 today, it will feel like climbing the gallows as our lives are going to change for the worse after today. :(

My moan for today, I have just burn't the pot of mince, Forgot it was on, Change of plan for dinner,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We all feel like this at times, well I know I do. Years ago it was the sudden loss of my wife and being left with 2 young kids. Primarily now it's worries about the future and things beyond my control, especially with regard to the Osem Jnr#2 (who we love dearly) and my dying father. Sometimes I don't even want to wake up in the morning but then I hear about all the awful stuff going on in the world and remember that there are so many people so much worse off than we are who're getting on with life in spite of all the odds. I have no idea what your situation is and appreciate things may be very bad indeed but all I can tell you is that, in my experience anyway, when I've felt like there was no hope, I've managed to change the way I feel to see things in a different light. Don't be at all reluctant to ask for help, professional or otherwise - there is no stigma.

Best of luck to you. :tu:

Mine is my sudden intolerance to eggs. Never had a problem with them, then suddenly after Christmas developed an intolerance to them. Cut eggs out of my diet, and I feel fine. Trouble is, I love eggs. What I'd give for some scrambled eggs right now, but not worth it for the discomfort I am in after eating them.
