Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Chalk it up to experience and move on. At least anti-stalking laws allow you some redress.
PC's grunting a bit this morning: I've got Handbrake transcoding the entire original Star Trek series, all eighty episodes including "that" one, to codecs (AAC and H264) that the smart TV understands.
Sony don't support Divx.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
The obsession of fly on the wall type documentary and light entertainment programme makers with repeating short sections of the same footage. It's as if they feel they need to remind viewers of what they've already seen not only once but several times.

Or the common practice of showing around 2 minutes of a segment, then cutting away to another one, leaving the viewer in "suspense" about each little bit. No, it's just annoying, stop that.

Just filling and padding out the show, over the course of a series they probably get a whole show out of it doing nothing

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
After opting for a full refund that should be in my bank no later than Wednesday. Since the arranged full refund I have received a email from the company here is part of this email
Congratulations! You are now on your way to receiving your xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxx purchase. Whilst we are confident that you will be delighted with every aspect of your purchase, we feel that it’s important to recap on the next stage of the process. If any questions arise or should you encounter any problems, your xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxx Owner’s Manual is on hand and ready to assist.
You've opted for our free standard delivery service, we will text (SMS) you with a delivery date. You'll just need to reply YES or NO to that text. If you text YES you will receive a delivery confirmation email. If you text NO, we'll be in touch. You will also receive a separate email with your owner's manual that includes more detail to read through at your convenience. I have received the owner's manual via email also.
What do I do. Do I wait for the full refund and then call them to cancel this replacement. I know that a bank transfer is going in my bank because a lady from the customer service refunds team phoned me and took bank details sort code, account number etc on Thursday and then advised myself that the payment would take 3-5 days which I assume she mean's working day's for the funds to arrive in my account.
Surely these emails are not in connection with my refund This sounds to me like they have arranged a replacement as well as a refund. Do you think they have arranged a replacement by mistake!
What does it sound to you, any advice on this would be most welcome.

I would just stay quiet until you know for sure the refund is in your bank, if a replacement turns up after that time either don't sign for it or sign for it and don't open it and tell the shop to collect it if they want it back on your terms.
Just make sure you don't get billed for it.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
@ Weenie. I suspect that their refund has been actioned manually whilst the order process is automated and whoever you dealt with on the phone didn't cancel the replacement and/or didn't go into the supply system to tidy up.
I had a similar problem problem with Argos when I ordered a microwave oven for a friend. For some reason the on-line order was duplicated/triplicated and I was receiving multiple emails advising delivery. I phoned up and although the extra ovens never got delivered I still got notices regarding their delivery.
In your case I would do as Snoopz says and hang on to any delivery. It could come in handy to use as leverage should your refund not materialise.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Several plates from the dishwasher have got a chalky deposit on them. Means I need to get some salt, top it up and run a regenerate cycle on the water softener. We have very hard water down here as it comes from the chalk aquifer under the town.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Life. So complicated, and so damn painful at times. You try your best to help someone and they throw it back in your face by becoming a jealous possessive witch, who when you finally break things off responds by cyber stalking you and makes threats. Head is all over the place, so am going offline for a few days while I get my head sorted out.

Pita bread
I used to remember them coming out of a toaster and cutting them in half, perfection.
but now they've change something an one side is tissue thin while the other is duvet thick, and they fall apart. Cook for 1 min and undercooked, cook for 1 minutes 1 second cremated.
I give up Garlic ones used to be so nice with bacon.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
My Auntie is still in hospital 3 weeks after she was admitted to hospital as they are still sorting out a proper care plan for her and she won't be discharged until that is sorted out.

Yup - being stuck in hospital sucks - I hope she gets sorted soon. I was stuck in six weeks - but some people get stuck in a lot longer - I hope she's one of the lucky ones
My moan - I wish the transplant people would get a move on so I can get 'officially' on the 'list', I don't feel like I'm any further along.
I hope this year is the year it all gets fixed and /maybe/ I can go back to work.
