I got some sunglasses but the store I got it from advised to inspect the packaging upon delivery. Accepting delivery is a form of approval. So now I have had to reschedule delivery for Tuesday. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

If delivered, then you're covered by distance selling regulations.

Check out the reviews. A LOT of people have to pay return postage, return customs fees, a loss on any customisation.

You either get it spot on or you're screwed

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Guess this is one of the few downsides for not being in the EU gang. The customs side of this is an instant red flag do not buy from company . If AliExpress can ship from China with a £10 declaration on it and get away with it why can't they haha

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

China don't play by the rules. They live a different way. :D

Italy toe the line.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Them Trustpilot reviews they are well shady. Would mention the mob but that would be too clique

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

:LOL: there is always that fear with reviews, I read some that said they wish the reviews were verified purchases. I won't know until Tuesday when I'm home all day .

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

For me it is just the risk. I am a bad customer to be honest. If something is not right it triggers me. It is my control issue part of my personality disorder. I am not controlling of others but I like to control my environment and when others disturbs that I get incredibly edgy uptight and anxious. The worry about something not being right and having to deal with the possible customs issues is enough for me to say not a chance mate

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Annual GP checkup this morning. She was faffing around with the blood test needle, thankfully not multiple attempts. It was simply repositioning that done the trick. ECG was normal but the blood pressure test around the upper arm was high. I had to refuse further aid. I simply put all that down to being fat which got me a follow up on July 2nd. I was offered jabs :Yikes: no thanks. I'll take the tablets but there not on the NHS yet.

I've seen a dietician and had referrals to my local fitness classes. I don't know what the docs going to say Thursday :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

just had my annual check up, 5 attempts at blood test, blood pressure low but i am on meds to keep it low

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Last week I sent two daily BP readings for four days - Sat to Tues - (8 readings total) to my Doctors.

The highest reading was 139/75 the lowest was 116/66

Not heard a thing, which is usual, I may need to change Doctors :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

my 7 day average was 98/64 with a heart rate of 74

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My heart rate is generally around 64 to 66, doesn't mean much apart from I could probably outrun you over distance . . if chased by a herd of rabid Yorkshire Terriers :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Doctors solution is to experiment. I was advised to change my eating habits and food purchases. I already know this.

The alternative is to go private for jabs which even my doc said no to. You come off them and you'll go back to your previous ways.

Damn! I'm out of ideas. I find it surprising that there are no boot camps, retreats to escape the vicious circle.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It's Thursday, it's bin day, everyone has their (lightweight) plastic bins out, it's quite windy, the bins keep blowing over, the street is full of rubbish ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

we like to play chase the bin around here, it's great how they skid along the road on windy days

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

One hopes that it is Environmentally Friendly skidding and not just half assed blowing in the wind due to cost cutting ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It's infuriating trying to remove the backing off Gorilla heavy duty mounting tape. :mad: am I the only person that can't do it?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Anyone able to help me please...

I have this mattress size double

https://www.silentnight.co.uk/silent...AkajYwJGwwJGgw

I got some deep fitted sheets from vinted, if I sleep on the right... the left side comes undone. Every morning I have to pull the sheet to it's fitting around the mattress.

Sleeping in the middle makes no difference or opposite side. Are my sheets crap? Any recommendations please?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

You've probably got king sized sheets mate . . vinted :rolleyes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

They fit snug. It's during use they come undone. Blooming annoying.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

i have fitted sheets they always come off at least one corner, they fit like a glove when you get into bed

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The sheets I got were bemode branded, their website is interesting...

www.bemode.co.uk

:erm:

I've found a silentnight branded deep sheet on vinted which I've ordered. Only difference is bemode are up to 40cm deep. Silentnight is 28cm deep. :shrug:

---------- Post added at 19:00 ---------- Previous post was at 18:54 ----------

Oh damn. A 30cm ruler measures top to bottom. I have 10cm to play with which explains it. I thought up to 40cm covers all mattress size in between. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Much prefer hospital corners to fitted sheets . Never had job with them

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

If a 40cm deep sheet won't fit you are into the realms of a bespoke make ... mega bucks or just get a king size sheet ... lots to tuck under the mattress.

My 40cm still comes untucked on my 35cm mattress. I ended up using a set of these 'Sheet Strap,Bed Sheet Clip,3 Way 6 Sides Adjustable Elastic' thingies and wonder if they could help either of you. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Auivguiv-To...hlbWF0aWM&th=1

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Ooo an invention. Problem with that is my mattress is very heavy. It's not easy to lift or flip.

I put a 30cm ruler to the depth and it pretty much lined up perfectly to 30cm so the silentnight sheet I've ordered measuring 28cm might just work.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Something like this might help ?

https://amzn.eu/d/03nWgtJp

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Interesting inventions :Yes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Odd society we live in that pays £12 for a fitted sheet and then another £49 to keep it 'fitted' :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I bet thenry will source them at £5.50 from Vinted or AliExpress. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Hmmm.....

£2.50 on vinted new. Under £5 on AliExpress

£5 on vinted new. Around £5 on AliExpress.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Today I received two letters from my Electricity supplier.

The first one tells me my current balance is £27 in credit.

The second one tells me they are going to increase my payments because my 'balance' is £75 behind where 'they' expect it to be this year.

Tomorrow, someone, somewhere, on the other end of a phone, is quite probably going to have a bad experience :Yes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Huh is that direct debit ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Yep, they (and Gas) keep pissing about altering payments, I tell them I'm not stupid and can manage my own finances without the help of their bloody computer systems

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I load my account with credit.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Switch suppliers then you can set your own DD again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Silentnight just got back to me with links to deep fitted sheets

:LOL: extortion. I got a deep fitted silentnight sheet off vinted £8.30 delivered, due to be delivered today.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Found out yesterday an ex who I saw circa 2010 passed away suddenly aged 53. This as far as I know the first person who I have been intimate with has passed away. Feels really weird tbh. Dunno if I should speak to her kids or not as they were young and may well not even remember me much

Im so sorry Jay :(

Yes I am in the US not canada (I saw your reply wondering)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Probably not. Grief is a weird thing to navigate. If they knew you well they might appreciate the contact, but otherwise you’re just forcing them to navigate old memories of their mum at a time not of their choosing.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Fair comment :-)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Somebody farted on the train earlier this morning. Thanks for that. I had to smell someone's arse top of the morning to you.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

:disturbd: :notme:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

The silent ones are deadly :no:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

That's awful, but spare a thought for the person that thought they'd only farted . . and were wrong.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

When I was younger and my dog dropped one she always had a guilty look on her face while the family passed out.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It didn't end there. At Brighton train station the bus stop smelt of urine, little bottles of vodka, energy drinks were littered. I think somebody got drunk and wet themselves.

I missed breakfast this morning, just as well really I don't think that would have stayed down.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Learn to drive mate then you won't need to deal with any of these humans.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

No to driving. I don't want to and I can't neither. Road rage idiots and at night I see flashing strobe lights off street lamps, headlights gives me really weird vision. My cousin a nurse said it's epilepsy but my doctor just said good, don't drive. I really can't be arsed. I had an MRI which came back good. They tried me on pregabalin which didn't help. Whatever soldier on...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Bus fares are capped ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Jay from Inbetweeners :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

don't worry when you get old you fart a lot, smell of urine and drink like a fish 'just look what you've got to look forward too

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Hope to die young :D

My aunty got persil laundry detergent in her eye yesterday. She was taken to an eye clinic where they done all sorts to the effected eye. I've come to Brighton today to give her company. She picked up the laundry ball with liquid in then dropped it, it hit the counter the detergent went airborne in her direction and the ball fell on the floor. She looks like a boxer just gone 12 rounds.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I had that, mine was due to a vitreous detachment, I think I'd see an eye doctor particularly if I noticed and floaters or dark spots

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Nope not got that. While at a computer my eyes pick up random little black square dots . Something out the matrix .

I tried straightening our apple tree by moving its stake this year, but it’s so heavy with apples it’s just pulled the stake over :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Freshly baked apple pie going out to everyone on your mailing list? :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Someone farted on the train again. Blooming force of nature. I don't own a lighter :Yikes:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

it's a great place to let one go, especially if it's a silent but deadly fart You can sit quietly and watch everyone enjoy it ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It was you :fit:

if it was me you'd still be on a respirator

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Scarily that actually sounds about right lord skidmark :p:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

They say that because if 2 people go for a job and one as a FLT they are more favourable.


I've applied for 3/4 jobs that I don't have the qualification they say, but it also says that you are willing to get that qualification.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

What is FLT ?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Fork lift truck I think, given Anon’s previous chat around his work & skills

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I see this often, especially with the bush types that are marked "no staking required".

After a major collapse due to weight snapping bundles of bamboo, I now grow my cordon toms up rebar.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Smartphones . . why do settings seem more 'confusing' than smart?

if you disable function B, function A will stop working.
however, if you disable function C2, then function A will work with function B disabled.
This also means that function D (which relies on function C2) will only work between the hours of 6pm and 4am and in silent mode, unless function E is set to enhance global volumes.
Be aware that function C2 will automatically enable itself every Tuesday and Thursday at midnight.

If you require further help, press and hold buttons K and M while tapping lightly on the top left corner of the screen.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

i have analysed your problem and the sad fact is you are too old for a smart phone, get yourself a couple of homing pigeons and a stress ball ;)

I keep breaking stress balls . . just no quality nowadays :rofl:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

PEBKAC and/or PICNIC… ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

see, even that's changed, it used to be the good old IDO10T ;)

on a serious note though, I'm certainly getting more frustrated with having to search through 15 sub menus (some hidden) to find the setting I need to enable/disable something. :(

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I thought it was ID10T no need for the extra letter PEBKAC is as old as the hills

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Have you tried using the Search facility in Settings?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

he's still trying to find the any key

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

It's quite annoying that

A) I can't spell idiot
B) The search setting is inside an area labeled:

"caution, attempting to alter settings within this menu may cause extreme bouts of anger and frustration, you're better off just setting everything to auto update then placing the phone in a drawer to do whatever it wants"

I may upgrade to an airfix model of the Golden Hind :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

What phone model do you have, please?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Our local GP surgery is on a small back lane, barely enough room for 2 cars to pass.

The lane was completely clear of vehicles when a large van arrived to collect stuff for disposal.

30 seconds later a car appeared and parked directly opposite the van, blocking the lane. The driver got out and started shouting at the van driver, who looked totally perplexed.

"I always park here," he shouted at the van driver, "You've blocked the lane now, you *****".

Some people drive me mad at their self-importance and lack of thought.

Xbox game updates


It is dire I have a 600meg+ download yet MS seems to be dial up speeds.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Are you connected via cable or WiFi?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Cable


The only things in my home that use wi-fi are those that cannot be wired, like phone, tablets and smart stuff like plugs

Passport renewal time :fit:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

You don't need a passport to visit Brighton, that's the only place you go I think. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

I'm on the train from London. Someone is having the time of his life loudspeaker playing drum and bass :LOL: it's not excessively loud. It just seems a little antisocial behaviour. :shrug:

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Is your avatar how you look when someone is annoying on the train?

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

My avatar is similar to my old passport picture only my head was up in that photo.

The guy had a suspicious old photo reel container. A not so suspicious full bottle of disaronno (lovely with Dr Pepper :o:) a change of clothes on the opposite side of the coach on the hand rail above the side of a seat.

I had my sunglasses on :LOL: so I could look at him without causing offence. I was thankful really the volume wasn't blasting. Good for him he got off at East Croydon. The rest of my journey home was pleasant.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Today is the second anniversary of my dads death.


I've just had a call from my cousin who told me that his dad died last night, and his aunt died last week. His dads sister in-law


so a pretty crap day.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Someone able to help me out please.

I renewed my passport last online. When it asked about my current expired passport I put not damaged but it was, pages were ripped, one page totally missing. Will they reject my application because I didn't put damaged old passport? I sent my old passport to them this morning.

---------- Post added at 15:50 ---------- Previous post was at 14:51 ----------

I just called the passport office. They say after examination of my old passport, if it's deemed damaged they may process the application as a replacement not renewal therefore may need confirmation of my identity by a third person vouching for me lol long!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

dodgy passport that means a visit by a man with rubber gloves and a pot of petroleum jelly to confirm your identity, you should practice bending over:)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Get a passport holder for new one, any damage if viewed at an airport means.... No fly.

How come you have missing pages, what are you trying to hide. :D

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

:Yikes:

I'll look into a holder when I've received the new passport thanks.

I manhandled it, pulled it by a page while it was under things. Me being careless.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

No more petroleum jelly these days because of budget cuts. Need to try and keep the cost of new passports down somehow :shocked:.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates
 

Do they have to use lube? El natural surely.
