Random Irritations

[Crazyface]

Just picked up some new work trousers purchased online and influenced by reviews. They only just fit round the waist and flared to the point that I could wear them to Wigan Casino. Oh well.

Won't name and shame incase they eventually sort my issue and would be unfair to slate

However. Bought a chair in October to replace my 15 year old cheap recliner.. which had no issues with the material just wasn't comfortable anymore

£300 later it comes . Bingo happy job done

4 months later the material has split I thought was at the seem. Contact them they send out s company to repair who say nope it's a rip can't repair .. not manufacturers fault .. too much force applied to area etc etc

So now they washed their hands

Even though the part in question is where you close it with your foot so "force" is closing it

If the material used isn't up to standard surely an issue

If was 5 years old fair enough

4 months? Come on

Emailed they called said nothing can be done asked to speak to a manager they said email and one will call


Did so ,, I thought one called me turns out wasn't one! So having to email again and once again ask for a manager to call not anyone else to sort the issue

I mean come on it ain't that old

Stick with it & persist! In that photo it certainly looks to me like a join that's come apart - if I'm not mistaken, you can see the ripped stitch holes

Their claim is because a 3rd party tech has assessed it as ripped not coming apart that's that

Can get my own independent tech round apparently

Just received a letter from my dentist saying I can go private or I'm out. They had been pushing people down this road for a good few years but I'd managed to avoid it. Hopefully I can find one that still offers the option but I don't hold out too much hope.

My work phone has decided to wipe itself clean after I tried three attempts to change my passcode. No warning on number of attempts ?

On a map of the UK does anyone know where the Central Lowlands are.
If so please advise BBC Weather.

Nearer the sea than either the Highlands or the Uplands?

(Interested to know where the BBC suggested they were?)

It's the people who are easily influenced who irritate me more.

Shouldn't you feel sorry for the terminally stupid rather than be irritated by them?

Reaching that stage of lockdown again where you can sod pubs, friends etc and just long for the barbers to be open.

On a business call and looked out the window to see two pigeons doing a full on mating session... it put me right off my line of thought.

I've had to dig out my old straighteners and Brylcreem. Have asked the missus to have a go at cutting it but she refuses to do it until we're at crisis point.

Declare yourself gender fluid and ask her to give you a 'perm' or plats
