IMPORTANT UPDATE: Dream Car Sales are now Redland Car Sales At the end of October last year, I wrote an entry in which I mentioned a local car dealer: Dream Car Sales, Telford. We bought a car from Dream Car Sales to tide us over while ours was undergoing repair because I was heavily pregnant […]

What a Frickin Morning
I went to see a local property this morning in the hope that, should we find somewhere suitable, we can arrange with the landlord/lady to escape our existing tenancy due to the damp and access issues. Property was quite nice, more than suitable, gorgeous little ‘secret’ garden around the back. Unfortunately I was told at […]
The Disease of the Day is…
I have been off work most of this week with a random mysterious disease. Of course, when I say “random mysterious disease” I actually mean tummy bug, but I quickly discovered that by typing in the symptoms “vomiting” and “diarrhoea” plus “pregnant” into Google, it gives me an estimated remaining lifespan of about 3 days. […]
Total Bollocks
I started to write an entry about an hour ago. I then got sidetracked trying to advise people in the quilting bee IRC, came back to finish it off and upon pressing submit, was presented with a login screen. My fucking session expired. Why the shitting hell I picked session based logins for my admin […]
Dying Girl is Not Dying
I don’t know of how many of you will recall this, but when I gave out my last Pants Award, the recipient turned around and told me that I shouldn’t have criticised her site because she has terminal cancer. I’m not sure in what way the two are related — cancer doesn’t cause you to […]
I’m a Whiny Cow
I’ve just sent in a complaint email to the Mars company/customer care people, because every Malteser I’ve had so far from a bag I bought today has tasted like plastic. I just wanted some tasty, crispy chocolate, jeez. :(
Smells Like Diamonds
Bold, a company that produces soap powder (to wash your clothes with), started advertising a “new premium range of luxuriously perfumed super sensory laundry products” several months ago. The television adverts tell us that we too could smell like an infusion of white lotus flower and diamond. I don’t get it. I’ve sniffed my jewellery; […]
securityfocus.com Are Wrong
Some little asswipe sent in a vulnerability report to securityfocus.com (the same site Amelie had faux report problems with; which just happens to mirror to thousands of blogs and security websites across the Internet) claiming that there’s a login issue in BellaBiblio and BellaBook/BellaBuffs (he couldn’t make his mind up with that one) making them […]
Customer Service.. what’s that?
Customer accidentally asks for their shopping to be sent to the wrong address. Customer tries to get parcel redelivered but the couriers refuse and send the contents back to the depot. Customer e-mails online retailer and asks for the parcel to be resent, quite happy to pay second delivery costs. Do you, as said retailer: […]
Wii Envy
My brother called me up at about 9:30pm Thursday evening to tell me he was in Tesco (local supermarket) and that he was queuing for a Wii. He was about 8th in line, they had 20 consoles to sell and he was offering to save me a place… …WHY, GOD, DID I SAY NO?! I’ve […]
