You really couldn't make this up. My new coat, one I ordered last night from a completely different store, is being delivered tomorrow......... Via UPS. "From Punxsutawney, it's Phil Connors, so long."

This... Whirlpool washing machine danger revealed as recall launched www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-50811686And the fact that the f***ing website has gone down under the expected wave of panic that it's caused. I've already been through this shite with my Hotpoint tumble dryer and now this happens with the washing machines. I won't be buying Hotpoint again, that's for sure. tw##s.

f***ing UPS - AGAIN!
Bought something from the Hilfiger website three days ago and paid an extra tenner for express delivery, which was due for delivery today.
Anyone want to have a guess what happened? Yep, you guessed it - delayed! Now it's not going to be delivered until Monday, which would have been the case had I kept my tenner to myself and selected standard delivery.
Needless to say I've emailed customer services demanding my express delivery money back, but I'm not holding my breath.
My advice to anyone buying from online retailers, check who their courier is first. If they don't say, just pray it's not f***ing UPS!

No delivery cost refund, they're now blaming customs for delaying the parcel, as the Hilfiger warehouse is based in the Netherlands.
What a sh*tshow, which will no doubt only get worse in the future.

It's not the cost because 20p is neither my arse nor my elbow but it's the principle. On my way to Fylde I've stopped off in Ambleside because some of my walking kit wants replacing. I've just spent £3 to park and a significant amount in local shops and yet the council require me to pay more to splash my boots. Makes you want to piss in the car park just to spite them.

Michael fat Gurning, again. If Wayne Mardle could step outside himself and force himself inside someone else, it'd be him!

Train travel in the UK.
I’ve just booked a visit back to the UK in April (4th to catch the Yeovil game!). I have got a flight, train into Manchester and coach down to the midlands for less than £30. If I’d tried to catch a train from Stockport to Wolverhampton (Or Birmingham) after the match it would have come to £36. Even when booking 3 months in advance!
Even more ridiculous is that I’ve booked a coach from Manchester to Birmingham for £4. I will be getting off in Wolverhampton. If I had bought a ticket on the same coach but only to travel to Wolverhampton it would have cost me £11!!!! Who on earth makes these things up?

If I had bought a ticket on the same coach but only to travel to Wolverhampton it would have cost me £11!!!! Who on earth makes these things up? Not to worry mate Grant Shapps, oh hang on while I try to get my laughter under control....Grant Shapps says he's going to fix it by taking Northern Rail's franchise of them. This is the Grant Shapps involved in a bullying scandal in 2015, the Grant Shapps who resigned the Chairmanship of the Tory Party after falsely claiming the extra curricular work performed for a private business in which he no doubt used information gleaned as a leading member of the government was performed free and gratis and out of the kindness of his philanthropic heart when in actual fact he stood to make hundreds of thousands of pounds out of it. Anyway, Grant will sort it because, you know the astonishingly expensive and pisspoor service that Northern Rail offer has got bugger all to do with the way the privatised service was set up by another Tory government, nothing to do with the utter lack of any incentive to invest in modern kit caused by short-term franchises no, it's nothing to do with that at all. Grant needs to sort because the good people of Blyth and Workington need to feel loved by their Lords and Masters and to see that their cap doffing, arse licking deference to money and privilege hasn't gone unnoticed. They'll probably flog it to businesses wholly or partly owned by the Dutch and German governments like much of the rest of the railway franchises so that the British commuter can contribute to their profits which are used to subsidise Dutch and German rail travel so not to worry Brexiteers. Even when we're out, we're still subbing our European neighbours only without any benefits.

Probably never, as f**kwits are as f**kwits do.

Trying to pack shopping into my bag whilst the cashier is piling the next shoppers shopping on top of mine. I know you don't need a first class honours degree in astro-physics to work in a supermarket but a nodding acquaintance with a bit of common sense would do. It's a regular feature at my local Co-op.
