Random Irritations

[Deleted member 18645]

The planks protesting about the lockdown in Hyde Park today with Corbyn's moronic brother right at the forefront. Someone at the club just suggested going along, getting in the middle of them and then staging a fake coughing fit to see how they reacted. Not sure if I should have laughed at that ….. OK I did.

fell right into the trap then?

You’re not wrong Patrick, worth it in the end though ?

Wife started cleaning the lock block on drive, after 20 mins I could take no more and took over, 3.5 hours later and job is complete and looking good, used something called the pink stuff to clean it, has come up lovely.
Its always the same when she starts these jobs ??

The pink stuff is great! We’ve got bottles, sprays and the oxygen clothe cleaning powder

The sad thing is they not only think it was a just cause to mingle together as a throng (illegally) but there is a high possibility of some being infected and passing it on and those now infected passing it to innocent people on their way back from Hyde Park, to work colleagues on Monday and anybody else they come into contact with with who knows what consequences. Given the current situation about as narrow minded and stupid a thing to do as imaginable. Hopefully those arrested will get charged and significantly fined

Or made to go see covid wards with no PPE and see if natural selection takes place

The absolute pillocks demonstrating against lockdown ??... Therefore taking the spotlight away from the mishandling of government where the focus should be...

Football

End all leagues. Cancel season. Do not start up until everything is completely clear to do so.

Suspend all leagues, suspend the season. Do not start up until completely clear to do so.
THEN FINISH OFF THIS CURRENT SEASON!!

People using capital letters to make their point on the same subject time and time again, it’s boring now.

Curry's

Still no phone for my wife
A reply on Monday stating

"Hi Paul, apologies for the delay. The majority of messages you see being replied to are by store staff currently assisting our team by requesting initial information and resolving basic queries, whilst we are experiencing a dramatic increase in customer contact. I am sorry if this has given you the impression that we have forgotten about you. I appreciate the update from yourself regarding your order. Given the situation, I have raised an investigation with our Online Team so that we can resolve this issue. They will directly advise on the outcome at their earliest possible opportunity. - LH"

So a reply to say expect a reply.. not really an update at all and considering that was a week since the phone was due that's poor anyways

I replied Thursday

"Hi again. It's now Thursday. Monday I was told the online team would look into my case and update me. My phone was due here 10 days ago

I'd like an update please"

Nothing back .. but then they could not work weekends so will allow them that

So their my random irritation of the past 2 weeks

I dislike company's using covid as an excuse to wash over their poor customer service.

So many other companies are functioning basically as normal during this just with a few delays to deliveries

Curry's seem to have taken a well run house hold name and completely turned it into something that shouldn't be in business

This the UK Freedom Movement? They are a front for Britain First, a horrible bunch of right wing extremists. This is their latest ploy to get disaffected youth on their side.

I've ordered a few things from Curry's this year and their delivery has always been prompt, it's weird that they've been so bad on this one item for you. Have you tried getting through on the phone? I normally go for email first but I also hate it when, every time you get a new reply it seems to be from a different person telling either something you already knew, or something that contradicts what the previous person said.

Twitter is full of people saying been waiting 2 hours and gave up

I phoned , waited 2 hours and gave up aswell

 

[harpo_72]

Normally yes, but if you factor in the virus and that fact that I was literally right next to it all he had to say was "excuse me".

Or politely cough ????

 

[harpo_72]

Watched some bloke beat up a bin, it stood it‘s ground and didn’t give an inch. He then proceeded onto another bin and searched that ... then when he had finished with his find it seemed to come in my direction. I got up and moved to an easier position just in case it escalated. I don’t have any ACL‘s in my knees, so I am not running, but I am not going to tolerate stuff either. Not sure if he was wanting to scare or start, but it went away as quickly as it started. I have noticed a few vagrants now, I suppose that’s city life, and one of the reasons London never appealed to me.

This won't make you feel better but my son ordered a phone, from mobiles direct I think it was, at 8pm on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday. If they can manage it then an operation the size of Currys definitely can.

Can you cancel and buy elsewhere or would you need to get through and speak to someone first? Incidentally, apologies if you have covered this, have you started attacking them on Twitter, copying them in? It seems to be an effective method in the modern era.

 

[AmandaJR]

The man who took it on himself to move my trolley in the supermarket this morning.

You should have faux sneezed in his direction whilst spluttering through clouds of snot "2 metres"!

I did attack them on twitter. Completely ignored. Emailed CEO Ignored. Worked with sky back in day when they were trying to rip off my dad a quick email to the CEO and he was offered a new box free of charge and a month free as an apology..

I tweeted them every day from Wednesday after it was due until Monday , now I'm going for the silent approach of nothing .. see how they play it

However yes I could buy elsewhere but I get discount with Curry's which is why i always used them, 8%

The phone was £250 I paid £220 for vouchers

Now the phone is £280 so that's 30 plus the vouchers id get refunded would then need to be sold on and there is a site and they offered £200

£50 loss for the phone .. due to Curry's not doing their job

It's more the principal now

I have that option my wife's bday is end of June .. however I was gonna give to her early so she could play around in lockdown

Now if it's not here by mid June I can source from Amazon In a day then chase Curry's
