The Grumble Thread - No energy for a full on rant.

I just finished reorganisating the physical bit of the Library.  But why oh why did Dr Larrington have to tell me about the Book Crawler app

So that you'd finally see a point to having the iThingy?

Other than as a means of differentiating the capabilities of various chargers, you mean?

We did use it for playing choons at the weekend, courtesy of Nozama Cloud (which I only found out about last week!) though we could equally have played choons with an iPod & cheap-donkey external squeaker...

My BT broadband is down and I am using a dongle.
Connection is S-L-O-W.
I am impatient...

[woollypigs]

You shouldn't have raised a ticker with BT. I complained about router that it couldn't block sites any more to sky and their technical team, I got a call back from their email support team asking me what was wrong with outlook. I'm sure that your phone issue will be sorted after they have killed your internet access for a few hours. Very logical me thinks

[hellymedic]

My internets have been restored.
I phoned BT.

Droid had David running up and down stairs doing all the things we had already tried, (and we told them we had tried them) before raising a line fault. (Given that this was a new problem and we had changed nuffink, it seemed obvious to D&I that the problem was 'outside'.
They must have flicked a switch or rebooted something.

All this running around a hot house has left David feeling a little poorly.
I am hoping rehydration and feeding will cure him.

I bought about half a kilo of cherries, nice dark, juicy ones. Everyone got home at the same time and I had some work to do. They ate all the cherries without me! 

Unforgivable.

About this time of year in Budapest, perhaps earlier, all the parks local to us had cherry trees burdened with fruit waiting to be plucked. It was a traditional Sunday morning outing. I imagine it's the same in Poland and other Central European countries.

Ahhhhh..... Summer in the city.........

Woken up by the police helicopter at raid o'clock this morning, and I'm now being serenaded by the gentle sound of racing quad bikes.   

[mcshroom]

Telling you that the cows being moved for milking an hour ago were annoying me probably won't help

Summer in the Country

I just asked an online calculator how many days I had been alive.

The response was: 

The conversion of a varchar data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.

You utter bastards.

[clarion]

Pah!  That was a 13yo Ukrainian called Eugene.

Sorry but

For your forum profile age it would be 1597 days I believe. To work it out in Excel, put todays date in one cell, your DoB in another and subtract your DoB from todays date. The number it spits out is the number of days between the two.

Mine's 11352 apparently.

[Ruth]

I am so not telling you my number.

You made I larf, Ruthie.

Mine is almost twice yours.
Small wonder I feel tired

The picture on mine anbaric television keeps falling off the screen, while the squeakers emit a vulgar electronic farting sound.  But...

It appears to be confined solely to the BRITONS' Broadcasting Corporation, and only to their not-HD channels.

Please to be stopping this unseemly behaviours.

That is perfectly normal and is just Chris Evans on The One Show. Normal service will be resumed once the farmer boy is back.

Friday arternoons with Not Much To Do - the last hour just drags

[hellymedic]

Dear BT,
Thank you for sorting out my Broadband on Thursday.
Your droid phoned at 09.36 this morning to check how things were; well, we weren't having a lie-in, which is just as well. Please do not phone me! I can handle emails and texts without interrupting MY activities. Interruption is rude; DON'T DO IT!
You then texted a survey about my 'experience'. Well, your numerical options don't have 'It was a f*cking pain in the arse' as an option. This is a shame; it was!

[CAMRAMan]

kids21.co.uk: you use a UK domain, so I naïvely assumed your DVDs would be dispatched in the UK. But no, they came - eventually - from Thailand and are pirate copies of the films*. Luckily I paid using PayPal, so once you have ignored my email telling you of the dodgy provenance of said DVDs, I shall launch a PP dispute and, more than likely, win. I hope.

*Say I with 95% certainty.

Yes, I found my first blood in bogies of the year yesterday.

[Eccentrica Gallumbits]

A combination of circumstances has meant that bobb and I have only seen each other twice this year, in February and April. It sucks, I miss him and I'm fed up.

[Gattopardo]

Need some energy and the will to do stuff, such as tidy flat and get rid of stuff on freecycle.

[bumper]

I was supposed to be having a 4 day mini tour starting tomorrow morning, just had a phone call for some emergency work that needs completing Monday/Tuesday. It's work=money that pays for bills and bike stuff but ffs, they've known about it for weeks and only just told me.

I've got lots of new kit that hasn't been tested yet, I'm itching to try it all out
