New - The things that really annoy you

[Wolf Hunting]

I'm with direct line, my insurance was £214 last year, my renewal was 368. Did a quote from LV and it was 338. Got another quote from Saga 246, so will probably go with that after I've been through the details.

Have a look at the details of the cover they all offer.
I mean, Free Windscreen Cover, Sounds like 'Oh Goddy'. Think, when was the last time you replaced your windscreen?
Check them all out, then waste an hour making a phone call telling them they are too fucking expensive then watch them come down.

Tbh it was pretty easy, got a couple of quotes which were about the same price as my original quote, found one on the third attempt that was pretty much the same as I paid last year, all the stuff I wanted and none that I didn't.

Seems like an "asking for forgiveness is easier than permission" type scenario to me.

I doubt anyone would even realise for years.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[leedswolf]

Not annoy per se, but this piece of shit makes me fucking fuming;

 

[ROVERT47]

Is that the Royal Mail enforcer?, if so heard him on the radio today, fucking arseole.

Yep, Stephen Bradshaw, ex Post Office investigator.

 

[Wolf Hunting]

What an absolute cunt!
He should be given the average punishment metred out to all those honest employees, ie, Lose his house, fined above the top of his thinning hair, reputation gets shredded, family is dishonoured, passport gets shredded, (Once he's been fucked off out of the country)
Bastard!! have a taste of this little bit of fair play.

Some of the testaments from the sub postmasters in relation to Bradshaw makes for hard reading. Sort of behaviour you’d expect from Tony Soprano or Al Capone, hounding abusive calls etc
One of his excuses is he wasn’t technically minded, well why the fuck are you qualified to investigate something that’s very technical.

Is this all in the Mr Bates v The Post office doc.?
Or is there a different one?

No it’s on the BBC news website, not sure what is about but he just comes across as an obnoxious arsehole.

He's been answering questions at the public inquiry into the Horizon scandal.

Fujitsu seem to be flying under the radar.
So far...

 

[Wolf Hunting]

We've just watched the first 2 episodes and when the union rep went into Fujitsu offices I got the distinct impression he went upstairs and was shown live programmes.
The woman at the inquest said he was taken downstairs and there were no live programmes down there.
Lies, lies and more dirty lies.

The rep (who went into Fujitsu) and his wife ran my local post office.

Do remember some things in the drama are not exactly as they happened. The big thing on his visit is though is them denying he was ever there and removing evidence that he did along side openly showing what they can do and then realising their fuck up and screwing him over.

No fear though, Fujitsu have been punished by Rishi....sorry did I say punished, I meant awarded around £5bn worth of Government contracts since.

 

[BillyDee]

Yeah, they're releasing an update to a major system I use...

One of which they outsourced to his FIL/wife's company

I did link on the goggle box thread, but the journalist who uncovered this (Nick Wallis) has an amazing book out about it. More info here;

Dog owners. Or specifically the significant minority of dog owners who take their dogs to shared use areas and let their dog off the lead. Even though their dog is unpredictable/ excitable/easily spooked/aggressive. So there are kids on bikes, people on horses, runners and your dog is jumping up at them, running towards them, getting under their feet, simply because you don't want the inconvenience of having it on a lead. You're an arsehole. The dog isn't the problem, you are, you arsehole. And it doesn't matter if you say "He's not dangerous", or "He won't bite". I don't know that do I. And if your dog jumps up at me, it feels like it's dangerous and aggressive. So put it on a lead you fucking prick.

And as for those stupid extendable leads? Great fucking idea. Just let your dog run around on a lead that is so thin that other people can't notice it until its too late and have to turn into to Edwin fucking Moses to get past you. You're an arsehole too.

A significant minority of dog owners are arseholes. Those people annoy me. In case you couldn't tell.
