I just despair when some fucking dickhead thinks this is a funny thing to do. Such an iconic spot up here, I just don't understand why someone would do that.

Probably for likes on TikTok nowadays if they're stupid enough to have filmed it.

You'd think to fell a tree that size you'd have to have some knowledge how to use a chainsaw.

Should be sentenced to 30 years of tree planting.

And a vehicle to get it there.

I came across a picture (not literally) yesterday of me in the 1990s when I was trying to be all 'Oasis' and I couldn't believe the shades I was wearing on the mean streets of Manchester (I mean Bath)

The Ryder Cup not being on 5live sports extra. As much as I appreciate it being on 5live, I don't really want the coverage of the golf shared with news bulletins, travel, weather and shite conversations about socks and shoe etiquette.

You could just have said Golf on the radio

..but I want to listen to it. You really get a feel for the atmosphere when the reporters are on course and you here the cheers from that hole and other ones in the distance. You don't get that if they are banging on about loafers!

Loafers are more interesting though

Are we at the point it was cut down because it was a woke tree yet?

 

[KentWolf]

ATM I just can't think of a reason to cut down a >200 year old tree. But at the end of the day it is not the end of the world. But this was deliberate so fuck 'em. Fucking give them a criminal record and stick the silly twats in prison a while.
Wow, I can be a bit extreme. Pissed as well as stoned. But it was a very stupid thing to do. If you are committing a crime at least work out a plausible and money making target.

My apologies KW, but every time I read your posts, this image appears in my head;

Stuck in brilliant cycle with Samsung over a Fridge/Freezer. Never thought I would be raging over an appliance

So, purchased the Fridge via AO.
First issue was the official measurements for the fridge didn't include a part that sticks out on the front, so they couldn't quite get in the house.
Oh but the bastard kids of the Laurel & Hardy and the Chuckle Brothers tried....and tried and damaged my house and the dented the fook out of the Fridge.
Asked why they didn't take the doors off and got told "because it voids the warranty"
Ok, can we have our old Fridge back in "can't, we cut the cables when taking it out and it no longer works"
They called the warehouse only to be told "why didn't you the doors off"
Fucking idiots

Few days wait and AO return with a new fridge and delivery drivers who were on it. All sorted and fairly swiftly by AO (AO have paid for the damage caused to the house as well, so no issues there) BUT nice big scratch on the fridge that was there when Samsung packed it all up and shipped.

As the damage was done before AO, we have to deal with Samsung directly.
So now we are stuck in a loop with them over a new door
"Booked in with our repair partner, they will be with you on the 26th September". That came and went and nothing happened.
Called Samsung and they seemed surprised. Gave us the details of the repair partner so we called them
"We are no longer a partner with Samsung so we wouldn't be coming out"

Many loops around with Samsung Support and today told "we are waiting on a response from the service partner and they will resolve"
Service partner still classed as the one they originally told us about.
So they are waiting on a response from a company who doesn't work with them anymore....so they won't get a response.

Made more annoying by the fact we can only speak with the Support Staff and its very difficult not to get angry with them but you have to try and be calm as its not their fault.
They can't pass us over to the team dealing with it. The shit they must have to put up with because they are front and centre and the other teams get to hide away.

Fookin useless!!

you do not have to deal with samsung mate - that is bullshit. you have a contract with AO, not samsung.
It is for AO to ensure you are provided with goods suitable for the purpose they are designed, advertised and sold.

No I have to deal with Samsung as its them, or not as the case is, who are sorting out the replacement part.

As its a replacement part AO started the process for the work required. Which led to Samsung contacting us directly and advising us to work with them as its now their issue.
I would love to work with them to sort but they now seem reluctant to give a shit.

Obviously if it's not sorted this week we will go back to AO and ask for a further item to be delivered and for them to get this fridge back and to sort it out. Would rather not do that as its a royal pain. I mean I will probably be in shitty timed meeting when they arrive for starters...

sounds really bizarre to me!

We had 3 options

1) Accept what we had received and get a part refund
2) AO to replace the whole fridge
3) Have the door replaced via Samsung

At the time, Option 3 seemed the best as it meant we didn't have to remove doors from various rooms, remove things that can be damaged by the removal and installation of a new fridge. With a door, its a straight forward job.
The start of the process was fine. Confirmed on the day with AO and within a day Samsung were in touch and offered us the day for the door to be replaced. All good...just gone tits up since that phone call
