Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your Mum Grim.:(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Condolences.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hope you got on ok?

They let me home but only as I talked them out of making me stay, but I did say I'd go in Monday and stay.

It was quiet this morning which was nice but same old crap with my other stuff. Oh well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear you have to go in. Do you have any idea how long they are going to hold you captive?


I am home. One of my results was a tad iffy and, like you, I have to trot back on Monday but hopefully it won't be to stay in. Been warned not to have any alcohol in the mean time which is a bit of a bummer but not worth risking having to have a transfusion.

... and while I moan might as well add that John has had his confirmation of his new operation date following his op, due last week, being cancelled. Phone up to confirm as letter requests, says no phone = no op. Posted on 17/12 letter received 24/12 at 2:30pm. Phoned 2:31pm and no one answering any phones on the unit. So fingers crossed that this op isn't cancelled due to the delay in the letter arriving. I hate living in limbo.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Two or three days probably. I hope you get your phone appointment sorted. I've been trying to get my eye appointment sorted since April - when I told the doctor today they phoned them and went nuts at them. So I get to the eye clinic next Friday.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear your news, GUN - our thoughts and condolences are with you at this sad time.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Xbox Live is down probably due to an attack,which means i can't even play local games with the family or even stream movies to the Xbox.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Its a DDOS attack by a group who not be mentioned, as to give them air time.

It has also affected playstation aswell.

So these *******s have ruined Christmas for loads of kids:mad:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

No treats for the cat tonight. I sent away for prints from Snapfish, put them by in a safe place and been looing for them now for three days.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Live shows where the audience cannot clap in time with the music, even if they had a gun to their heads.

Namely ITV Christmas Crap, sorry cracker

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Does every thread in Current Affairs have to turn into a battlefield? I thought this was supposed to be the season of goodwill.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Bloody wind last night woke me up at 3. So will not be on here today much as lack of sleep, understandably, makes me grumpy. Shame, as it is the first time for a week I am grumpy.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I normally take Wind-eze for that problem. :erm: Cut down on the sprouts and stuffing.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Indeed but some cannot change the habits of a lifetime Maggy.:waving:;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i think its the season of too much booze in the house ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I'm fairly certain you are right. ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Oops, I mean the wind that blows outside the house. Rattling my TV aerial which cost nearly £80 to get a new bolt fitted onto it to stop the rattling, then sitting down this afternoon to watch a film and then a power cut. Was having a great week until this morning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You are having it rough, That is the worse of an outside aerial, I had that with my Freesat aerial a few years ago, Nothing worse if you are enjoying a programme, Hope things improve ,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well there is plenty of booze where we are staying but no one is drinking it.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

You lay your bed then you lay in it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yay - I finally got an appointment at the eye clinic next week, only 16months late so not to bad for them :)

Also in for foot and more blood tests this week. And a funeral up in stockton on Wednesday.

Busy week.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just take each day as it comes dilli and lets hope your tests are okay next week.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My home feels cold today, cranked the heating up so it's getting warmer now. I really don't like a cold house.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Its chilly willy https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2014/12/1.gif

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Have you managed to warm it up yet? :afire:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It is now you've come in :naughty:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thermal socks and long John's will keep you warm bud.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

for when Gary isn't around :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Transport..... Well more accurately the eye clinic who forgot to book it for Friday. Useless.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

l am sorry to hear about your transport problems dilli but sadly l cannot say l am surprised.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As den says, sadly not a surprise. Maybe that should be their resolution for 2015, actually book transport for patients.

My moan today is one that I am sure a lot of people on here also have today, and that is cold. For the first time in months, I am actually feeling cold.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I need warming up.

but don't worry. I got a woman coming :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

My tivo remote that seems to have a mind of it's own.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Inconsiderate and dangerous rivers who, at traffic lights and certain junctions, stop in the right hand lane and then pull across the vehicle on their inside to turn left in front of them. It seems to be happening more and more.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Smegging funerals :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Bus drivers who don't use the bus lanes 'cos the're full of cyclists! :mad:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Loved your comment " You have a woman coming" ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Can you imagine if he had spelt it differently :shocked::D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Crap on TV to see the new year in.

So crap in fact I might even go to bed at 11pm.

I could go out but my local is charging £25 a head, that does include food and some drinks. but with 3 people we wouldn't spend that on a normal night anyway.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

TV is always rubbish at New Year, I bet the people who puts these programmes on, do not watch them,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They put rubbish on because they assume that everybody is either getting drunk or going out and getting drunk to see the New Year in. Me personally, I am staying in for another hour then popping into a neighbour's for the last hour of 2014 and getting a tiny bit drunk.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The two house either side are not an option, 1 sucks lemons (judging by her face), 1 couple in their late 80s and will be in bed, 1 has mental heath issues, and 1 lost her husband recently, but is unaware as she has Alzheimer's.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Apart from 3 or 4 programmes this Christmas most of the stuff put on was absolute tripe.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I thought Queen were good, pity they got interrupted by some rubbishy fireworks.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yes that's one group we can rely on for a bit of magic.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I was glad to get to bed about one, the programmes were awful, Never even took a drink except Tea,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yeh, it didn't take her long. she come not long after I posted :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We were in bed around 23.00 apart from Dad who is a New Years eve stalwart.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I hate singing commercials such as Quidco and Gala Bingo.

I hate musical films too. I hate it when they break out into a song just to have a conversation with each other.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

By heck you are a miserable sod today old boy.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

It's Sunday.
I'm always miserable on Sundays.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

2G (GPRS) internet link. Barely makes dial-up speed when it's in a good mood. Too slow to get the "verified by Visa" page up before it times out "Unauthorised" so our VM account is now suspended 'cos I can't pay the bill :( Should have done it at the bank earlier in the week but didn't think I needed to.

At least my backup email addy at virgin.net is not linked to the main VM account so it motors on and I can still send out mail as well.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Just curious, and you can tell me to mind my own business, but why do people still not make their payments via DD?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well some have no access to a bank account and thus cannot set up DD's.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

If you have a regular income of a known amount then I agree but I cannot guarantee the money will be in the account when VM would like to take it. Though it costs a bit extra to pay directly it's much cheaper than a defaulted DD and an angsty letter from VM. They bill me on the 2nd of the month and I have until the 1st of the next month to pay them.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

.....being told I'm "properly disabled" now because I'm in a wheelchair.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

What you should do is get up and walk.
that'll really shock em.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Never though of that, sorry.

My moan is a small one. I went to Sainsbury's to get something I forgot yesterday, and found a patch of ice which sent me skidding for a few yards into a parked car. Luckily, there was no damage to the car. Or me, apart from the pride of course.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Could be worse and to be told you aren't. Having something visual such as a wheelchair does seem to tick the boxes fortunately (or unfortunately). - Where can I get one from, lol.

Besides, who gives a toss what other people think or say anyway. :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hey, at least they notice the wheelchair which was more than they did with your stick. When I was stuck in a wheelchair for a while I got really fed up with people only talking to whoever was with me. I 'accidentally' ran over quite a few toes, I guess it didn't change people's bad manners but it was very satisfying. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Blimey, remind me to never annoy you Jo.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i do try to behave :)

But only until I am finished with my powered chair with RPGs ;)

---------- Post added at 17:42 ---------- Previous post was at 17:39 ----------

oddly I've got three now for some reason :)

As Jo said to I had a white stick before and no one seemed to notice that.

Still I don't plan to be in the chair forever so it'll be interesting to see how people change when I'm out of it again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Give me Calamity Jane, I loved that one and The Glen Miller Story was on the other day, that was so sad, tears were running down my face,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Yeah, my nan says she can't watch the end of the Glenn Miller film as it makes her cry. One of the biggest mysteries, what happened to his plane. Hopefully at some point in the future it will be discovered.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Nash that's just the type of films l used to watch when l was a young nipper.:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

They were he best, I remember a picture called " Imitation of Life" with Lana Turner, Her coloured maid,s daughter who would not except she was coloured and could pass herself off as a while person, she disowned her mother and it was so sad, when the mother died and she was too late to say sorry, Everyone in the cinema came out with tears streaming down their faces, That's my sad story for today,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Should be at Center Parcs this week but could not go, so my sister and her husband are there instead. All is not as bad as it seems as they gave us the money for what should have been our break so I suppose I could be feeling alot worse :( although I do wish I was there.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Mum's funeral tomorrow.

Cheers

Grim

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Thinking of you for tomorrow and so sorry,

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i hope it goes as well as it can :tu:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

nPower. Pay £80 a month and had a nice rebate to come back in December, called on 20th and told that there was a delay and would be in by 2nd of January. Called yesterday, and tried saying that we had not submitted a meter reading for latest bill. Soon disabused her of that notion as I logged into the online account and told her that it says CUSTOMER METER READING SUBMITTED on 24/11. Oh, we need a new reading now as that is over 30 days old. So give the new readings, rebate will be in within 5 working days.

They also put the DD down to £65 a month, we called and had it changed to £80 a month again. Get an email from them this morning saying your new DD details are now ready to view online. Look, and the greedy grabbing (insert your own cuss here) have jacked the payment up to £116 a month. Seriously tempted to tell them to sling their hook and find a new energy company to go with.

So cross right now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Npower are crooks.
I left them back in October and I had over £200 in credit. trying to get it back has been really hard. they never reply to emails. they give you rubbish about how they're having problems at the moment and stalling you for another 10 days.

I've eventually had it refunded. but they just didn't want to give it back.

morons, crooks, and liars.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Got through to someone, they explained things better than the woman yesterday, refund is on way and payment reduced to normal.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I've been having crap with Scottish Power for five months now and it doesn't seem to be getting any better any time soon,

Yesterday they told me I already have pre-payment meters installed.

They wouldn't believe me when I told them I didn't, so they asked me to tell them the serial numbers of the meters here. When I told them I can't do that (and why) but I'd get Natalie to read them and phone them with the details they got the arse with me.

Ongoing..

just found a bag of salad leaves in the fridge use by 24 dec -its unopened and looks in remarkably good condition ;)[its in the bin now ]

Thanks for all the kind words, went as well as these things can. Both my sisters behaved too which was a bonus.

Cheers

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Well the carpet grippers I have tacked on top of the 6ft fence panels keeps the moggies out of my garden. I am no long moaning.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I've never heard of them (carpet grippers) being used for that before, my brother in law uses Prikka strips on his back fence.

Garden a bit of a mess after last nights gales.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I use them for that and in-between the plants. Effective and cheap.

Doiwnloading an HD film, 4 Gbytes OK, only 200Mbytes to go then it bails out even when retrying in the download manager. Guess I'll have to try tomorrow when the kiddies are lying in.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Got to be in Brighton tomorrow at 8:15. Means getting up at stupid o' clock in order to get the train over. That's if I'm going to have a decent breakfast :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Go tonight, check into a Premier Inn etc, breakfast in bed :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

One of the guys coming over from Germany for the meeting is doing that. Not premier inn though. No, I'll take the night with the OH and an early start.;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

The wee one would have got his first ever late slip at school today as we were late due to the weather (no excuse really) as I should have left earlier than usual due to weather conditions. I hate being late and the wee one is usually at school at least 10 minutes before the bell.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

i remember my dad taking me school in his tractor (when I lived on a farm) because the snow was so bad.

My moan back in hospital again tomorrow, it's getting irritating now and I just wish they cut the bloody things off.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Hope all goes well for you at the hospital tomorrow dilli.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

We were booked into the Premier in Elsemere Port for one night for a concert, It was a savers deal for £35. But now the concert is cancelled, So it is not worth going there at the end of Feb as we don,t know enough about the place for entertainment that we enjoy, So I guess we will have to cancel and lose our money, As it will cost a bit for petrol too, PITY

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Sorry to hear that Nash and that is a bit of a bummer to lose £35.00.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That sucks :(
