Tried it but it's doing nothing for me. It's the same as a zillion other tunes!

As much as I dislike linking to official videos where the corporate hands get some pennies for the click, the Taylor video is different too.

Losing half an hour of my life. Had an initial telephone interview at half 12 today for a warehouse position. Nowhere in the advert or when I made the initial application that they needed someone with experience of being in a managerial or supervisory role. So interview on phone was going well, we were just about to fix a time and day for me to attend an interview in person when they ask how many months/years experience I had as a supervisor or manager. When I said none, they couldn't make their excuses quickly enough and hung up on me.

What annoys me most about this is that I know I could have done the job even without having the experience. I mean, how do new managers ever get promoted? And supervisors for that matter. Makes me so cross.

Been doing a pre MOT inspection of the Metro GTi 16v. Found a few simple to fix things but the big ticket item is the rear subframe mounts are badly corroded. I poked them with a screwdriver and now there's some holes. Frame also looks a bit dodgy

I need to replace the rear flexible brake hoses, going to upgrade to fully braided all round to pick up the braking, which also needs the frame to be dropped so I think I'll remove the frame completely to allow for refurbishment and to get better access for my MIG welder onto the mounting areas for putting in some new metal.

Least I can do the work and before somebody says scrap the car, one of this model went for over £3K on ebay recently and it wasn't mint. They're so rare now that the value is only going one way: up.

Well I was eating some toast and as I was eating I noticed something very hard as I was eating, then I found out it was my tooth (cap) had come out.

Trip to the dentist, I'd rather rather watch Jedward & Justin Bieber in concert until the end of time.

Probably to do a handover to the new hosting team. It won't be the same without him on the show.

Why not put up with it and sit there blatantly ogling the very sexy female pro dancers and Pixie Lott? OH will soon stop watching it with you around.

I have one that's vacant at the moment as I'm over here

And on that note my current gripe is only getting 2.5 hours sleep since Saturday morning. I just can't get my sleep pattern back going west to east.

Our Virgin phone line has not been working for at least 48 hours and they say on their service status page that it is working when it is quite clearly not working.

MalteseFalcon · 09-09-2014, 12:21

It did that to my phone once den, we had to insist they come out and have a look. Turned out that despite it showing no fault on their system some bright engineer had managed to pull out about 24 phone lines when doing some maintenance work in the green cabinet. Took them 30 minutes to put the wires back in and it worked again.

Some fraudulent scammer has tried to use my Visa debit bank card details in a grocery store in Las Vegas!

Fortunatly it was declined but now the fraud team at the bank has cancelled the card and is going to send out a new one. (4 days!) Buggered up some purchases from Amazon as those got declined too so I'll need to re-order once the new card details are through.

Good thing I have some cash in my wallet to tide me over the gap, the OH would have subbed me if not. Annoyingly I'll have to register the new card all over the place and have a new PIN and probably have to get a new verifed by Visa password.

You tend to forget how convenient it is for retailers to hold your card details.
