Could it have anything related to the case with Vardy occurring.

Good point. If Colleen loses they'll need that extra cash (as if). Seemed a strange thing to do and not sure Rooney will come out of it as he hoped especially regarding trying to injure an opponent. On the plus side, good to see him talk about the mental problems and anyone trying to get that into the public domain and possible helping someone suffering get help has to be a good thing

Last night we got a message for our eldest saying the porch light hadn’t come on and there was no Wi-Fi.

Got home from the caravan and asked what they’d done? “Nothing” was the reply and a flounce followed.

Turns out the wombat has used an extension lead and switched off the wrong socket

Checking PC World on-line and it stating that the local branch (albeit 20 miles away) has the all-in-one PC I want in stock ready for collection.
Drive over there - "sorry sir we don't keep those in stock at all - we can order it for next Saturday".

Do you remember those old fashioned ideas, .For example, with a phone when you actually rang and spoke with another person and checked.

It is an annoyance that so few electrical retailers hold any stock on site. They are pretty much order and collect later only now except for the smallest of items. I am old school in that I like to be able to go to a shop, buy something and walk out with it

Phones family on way home from Costco asking if they fancied a Papa Johns Pizza, I’ll pick it up on way home, yes they say.
Get to Papa Johns at 12:25. Lady in Papa Johns takes order and says it will be 20 mins, no problem happy to wait.

After 30 minutes I went back to counter, errm, sorry but there’s a problem with the ovens it’ll be 15 minutes, ok I’ll wait.

15 minutes later, I’m told the staff are new and don’t know how to switch the oven on!:mad: Asked for a refund, it was now 1:15, they opened at 12:00 and had not completed 1 oven.

Phones wife, no problem she says I’ll order a Dominoes.

Gets home, Dominoes had said 24 minutes for delivery on tracker on phone App, phones store after 50 minutes asking if there’s a problem as tracker showing pizza in “prep stage” bloke says orders are slow as they are short of staff!

Finally delivered an hour and ten minutes after order.

Not our day for ordering pizzas and I still haven’t tasted Papa Johns!
