Thames Effing Water again.Once more they've sent us a bill based on a reading from a meter that clearly isn't ours. Last time they overbilled us about £1400, this time, for a period of two months, it's about £800.I've submitted a correct reading but I'm not going through the palaver of again explaining the meter-reading monkey's screw up to their call centre in Karachi or wherever the feck it is.According to them, our water use over the last two months is the same as about 796,000 cups of tea or 2,653 showers. I don't even like tea.I might instead suggest that 199 cubic metres of water is enough to drown fifty overpaid utility company executives in barrels.9

Despite the name change they are as bad as ever. Expecting a parcel, arrived at their depot last Friday at 8.15am, still there of course.0 -
credit score was explained to me in the bank that someone who has borrowed in the past and repaid properly is a much better credit risk than someone who has never borrowed, and is therefore an unknown quantity. Or alternatively if a mate asked to borrow a tenner but has always previously repaid you without chasing, then you are more likely to agree.Chunes said:
The whole system is mad. The idea that you have to accumulate and pay off debt in order to have a good credit score is absolutely broken.ValleyGary said:Companies like Equifax or Experian.
My credit score took a hit during covid so now I’m back settled I’m trying to rebuild my credit. Signed up to Equifax who are telling me I have no active credit cards which is negatively affecting my credit, so to build it back up I should think about getting one.
They have a ‘suggested’ credit card list based on my current score and 3 or 4 are 3/3 star on suitability and chance of getting. So I apply for a small limit just to use and pay off straight away.
Got rejected and now I have a hard search on my record which has brought my score down considerably! And the fuckers wanna charge people £14.99 a month to use. Luckily it was a free trial for me, but it all seems dodgy as fuck.
Having gone through all this recently, I can recommend checkmyfile.com - it collates all the info from the three credit agencies so you don't have to sign up with all of them.
Creditladder.com also lets you add rental payments to your score.
We also used to advise taking out a credit card with a small borrowing limit and maintaining payments, can quickly boosts your score as it shows you can be financially responsible. There are some credit card companies who advertise that they offer credit cards to do this, usually with low borrowing amounts but high APRs. Which works so long as you repay the money each month and don't incur interest.0 -

I get texts from them at least twice a week saying to contact them to make an appointment. Each time I report as junk and delete. I know they want us to have a water meter but we don’t want one0 -
I’m sorry this may not be popular, but people who go to far in being affected by a tragic event. They rock up with flowers, candles and tears at the drop of a hat. They can be seen sobbing and wailing at the death of people, they never knew and had no relationship to. Unfortunately Normans death has brought some out in our ranks. I’m talking about the “let’s all wear headphones to the next game, write a Norman song, and even re-name the Covered End to the Norman Stand. Normans death is extremely sad, and more so that it happened at a game. But, we need to ground some peoples over enthusiasm to revel in the sadness.

People grieve in different ways over different periods. People feel connections to others and the emotion of events differently. Things settle in time and the good suggestions stay in the conversation whilst others drop out. Bit weird to criticise people for it.RaplhMilne said:I’m sorry this may not be popular, but people who go to far in being affected by a tragic event.

Odd take.

Jeez, I remember in my younger days playing a double header on a Sunday afternoon, then a kick about at the local park later. I then had a 5 a side game in the evening and used Deep Heat on my thighs but managed to get it on my knackers and arse crack. Had to sit in a cold bath for ages before the pain started to ease.T_C_E said:

My Dad went away for the weekend and accidentally brushed his teeth with a tube of Deep Heat. I was absolutely crying when he told me.DaveMehmet said:

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has done this. I put it on after getting out of the bath after a game. :'(DaveMehmet said:

People that describe themselves as “foodies”.You eat food, and like it or dislike it, like everyone else, you moronic twats.8

One of my friends wives is as you describe. She is self-aware enough not to have described herself as a foodie. I love her, she's my drinking partner, she is loaded and loves a good drink too. What I admire is her dedication to not eating shit food. She's an amazing cook and would rather go hungry than eat shite grub which I think gives her credit in the bank if she were to ever describe herself as a foodie.SporadicAddick said:People that describe themselves as “foodies”.You eat food, and like it or dislike it, like everyone else, you moronic twats.
That said, each time she has introduced us to a new place to eat it is stuffed with these foodie dinlo's and I wish nothing but pineapple shaped bowl movements
