Got this months bill . . £4.80 more than usual

click the link to 'view bill' and instead of going where I should go, I end up an a 'new' VM/O2 place that requires my email (did it) then another email for back up - allegedly.

Now screw this, if VM are locking customers out of their own damn account they can :2up:

Contract renewal May . . go swivel

Looks like I have a slow puncture, I left work at 10pm and got a low pressure warning on a rear tyre so pulled over and checked it. It was 5.5psi instead of 32! So got the electric pump out and filled it up, drove home 15 miles without anymore low tyre warnings and will check it again in the morning.

I'm surprised it didn't trigger the warning at something like 28psi so I'm confused how it got so low and was still able to drive home after filling it.

It's flat this morning so looks like I'll pump it up and try and get it fixed or replaced before work at 1pm. What a ball ache!

Edit
Failed to get it replaced early enough for work at 1pm, I tried to put the space saver on but couldn't release atleast one of the wheel nuts so I'm going to pump it up before work and again after work and hope it will be OK, the cars booked in at 8.45 for a replacement. Worst case if the tyre gets worse I will call the RAC out but don't really want to do that.

Two of mine were near the end of their life and a third was slowly failing (bulge in the wall apparently) so I splashed out today on a complete new set of four - the second time I've changed all four on this car.

Todays is bad IT support groups

On a Facebook group just had a guy advise a chap to slow format an SSD before cloning another disk to it .
Those here that know will see how utterly ridicules that advice is on a few levels

Ironically he posted that straight after I had posted about how so many on that group should not be offering advice

All sorted, there was a large bolt near the edge of the tyre.

If I tilt the mower 45 degrees to the right it works but as soon as I pay it flat it stops.

I've just had a reply from Bosch saying as the battery appears to charge as it should I need to phone a number to arrange collection but I'm not ready for that as I would need to box it up assuming I still have a box and hopefully they don't need me home for collection.

I eventually sent back my Bosch easyrotak 36-550 last week which was 2 years old, they emailed to say they wouldn't be fixing it and they would replace with the nearest new equivalent, well they sent me a Bosch Advanced rotak 36v-44-750 which is a massive upgrade in performance and far more expensive, it came without a battery but they returned my 36v 4.0mah, so this is a huge win for me and I'm chuffed to bits.

Not getting anywhere on these security questions, they asked what my last bill was I said £0.00, they ask when my next bill date was I said I don't have a next bill date because I've left VM! They now say they can send a letter and it'll take 3-5 working days to get everything updated and this is just to get through security.

They're so hopelessly bad it's a joke.

Every time i instantly reply they then don't reply for another 20 odd mins and they close at 8pm.

I'll try messaging the other chat after work tomorrow.

I'm going to relax as this is what I got from Google AI.

Take Action Based on Tracking Status
If you have a tracking receipt showing delivery: Ignore the text messages. They are automated, and it can take up to 21 days for the warehouse to process the kit and update your account, even if it has already been delivered.

I've finally had acknowledgement for my returned Hub5 and V6 box, from the point of Yodel delivering it to their warehouse it has taken them 1 month to confirm it!

They had billed me £155 and I was preparing to pay it by 20 May then go through the CEOs office to get a refund, but My Virginmedia account is now saying the bills paid.

So it's good riddance from me, the last few months haven't been a pleasure due to your incompetence I shall never return.

Finally Divorced! :D

I find that after I’ve had tooth extracted, Whisky helps…

(Also when I’ve not had a tooth extracted, Whisky helps :D )

I find spiced rum and medicinal Mary Jane helps best
