Got a customer who has forgotten his email password, their only recovery option is to send an recovery link to the email address he cannot access.

2 hours on the phone so far
You can’t make it up

Where is that brick wall so I can smash my head against it and end this misery
They're horrendous we had so many issues with them in our old house.

Tried to make a final payment when we we left them and moved house only to find out they can't do over the phone payments they don't have the software. Had to set up new online account with them over the phone then verify it online to make 1 payment took 3 hrs to sort, could have made the payment over the phone in 30 seconds..
 
The price of gig tickets.

two tribute acts charging more than i paid to see the real thing back in the day:(


The Vice Girls and the Fizz? ;) At least the Specials aren't charging stupid money for their latest London gig in May.

We had trouble with TalkTalk as BT customers, got an email from BT "sorry to see you're leaving us" of course I thought it was spam but better check it,

No Mr Cooke you're definitely leaving us,
Ok where am I going instead?
Our records show TalkTalk are taking over your account,
On who's authority?
Sorry I don't have that information,
Ok you tell TalkTalk that we're not leaving BT and that we'll be filing a complaint.

Turned out our lodger was upgrading her mobile contract and the sneaky blighters had snuck it into what she'd agreed and with English not being her first language (or so we suspect) she'd agreed
 
Raking my brain trying to remember what film or maybe it was a TV series , where the guy beats up the father of the boy that has been bullying his son at school. On the bully's door step with the bully watching.
Any ideas, put me out of my misery.

Is that not True Detective season 2? Colin Farrell??
 
Going to see a Fish era Marillion tribute act called StillMarillion (Marillion's Steve Rothery sometimes guests for them!!!) and they are doing an all dayer at the Half Moon in Putney. The first part will be a change of tact covering Seasons End (and some Fish stuff) and the evening is cassic Fish era including all of the Fugazi album. All day for the princely sum of £22
 
Good and bad news

The bad news, I took my car to have a minor service at the dealers, apparently the mechanic decided the timing chain was noisy. The good news is that they decided to replace it under the warranty but it'll take 2 days
