Random Irritations

Randomly feeling sick last night and throwing up and waking up with a banging headache this morning. Didn't even feel ill until about 10 minutes before it all started. Not sure what that was all about but chucking with a bad back isn't conducive to improving it. Just hope my occupational health physio in a minute does the trick. Basically I am falling apart and giving some on here a run for their money

Our mini-box keeps losing connection with the main box or there is no sound, or no TV guide. All on the mini-box but we have to turn them both off from the wall then wait 30 seconds then turn it back on to fix it. It’s annoying but I haven’t got on to Sky about it yet.

Let's just say it was the sort of banter you'd have when still in the forces about someone's Mrsor Mum.. However in this case it was about my 19year old daughter, they're lucky they were working behind a counter or I'd have likely dropped them for it.

Isn't everyone on Q - they happily gave me a Q box (and a discount) when I threatened to leave Sky

Update
I have just spoken to Sky, and got a better package deal plus free Sky Q and mini box - so a win-win for me 😀
It's being installed next Wednesday 👍
Let's hope it's reliable and I don't get the challenges that Fade&Die and anotherdouble are facing - fingers crossed

I have to do this too, but the Sky chap who installed it said this was necessary anyway, as when they reboot, they install any updates, and it should be done regularly.
 
Our conveyancing solicitors sending paperwork to the wrong solicitors, that was 8 weeks ago and they only just discovered their error last week.
We were hoping to complete this month, the setback means it will probably be nearer September now 🙄
 
Got the MiL and future Stepfather in law staying for couple of days and he has taken my house over with remote control trucks, a trailer full of a pretend road for them and his son who wasn't invited has turned up and will duly have to sleep in our front room 'they're on way back from a model truck show) 😒 I wouldn't mind that to much except his personal hygiene is worse than a a Tommy that's been sat in a trench at the somme for 6 months 🤮 the hardest part is MiL keeps moaning about him openly, and my 7 year old daughter saying "daddy why does he stink"

This will be an interesting couple of days.. I move into a tent in the garden
 
Physio. I am sure these are born sadistic. Put into positions that have really hurt but feeling much better (well until I've sat at the PC for the rest of the day) and some exercises to do. Really put me through it but no pain no gain but she didn't have to smile each time I winced

So you’re frustrated that you’ve done something that’s helped?

She probably knows that the bits that hurt the most do the most good, so was happy it’s working for you mate.
 
Ticket Office Card machine at station not working - however considerate bloke in ticket office gave me all day parking at station for the off-peak £2.00 rather than normal £7.50. I save £5.50? Irritation? My company reimburses receipted station parking...
 
Our IT department closing a call and marking it as resolved without actually checking if their “fix” worked. It didn’t, of course...
 
I have slight brake judder between 50 and 40 mph. It could be balancing, but unlikely. It could be due to having my wheels refurbed, but unlikely. It could be a warped disc, more likely. From discs and pads, £1600, rear £1200. Hmm. I might start by getting the balancing checked.

Back in the day, you could get discs skimmed. Wonder if you still can.
 
A replacement push button for a toilet £35 when the part that has broken up is a cheap bit of silver plastic 😤

Porsche still skim discs if they are still within tolerance.
