I don't think builders are permitted to start before 8am. Check with your council & tell them to stop or you'll report them. (I did last year).ads said:

I don't think it matters that much who you're with. I've swapped providers a number of times over the years because none of them provide actual customer service.
I honestly don't think any of them are any different. It's a thing that really pisses me off that these companies make signing up for their service or upgrading an absolute piece of piss - direct line through, answered quickly, knowledgeable staff etc - but as soon as there's a problem, or you want to leave, or ask a question, or anything at all that doesn't involve them taking more of your hard-earned, they make the process so difficult that you have to hire a private detective to find the right phone number, then there's a 30, 40, 50 minute wait on hold, eventually you get some doofus on the line who doesn't understand what the problem is and apparently has no authority to do anything you request, sometimes you get cut off, if you DO eventually get through to a 'supervisor' they argue the toss with you....and so it goes on.
It MUST be beneficial to a company to make problem resolution a POSITIVE experience. I'd stay with a provider indefinitely if they looked after me properly. Unfortunately, none of these clowns do it.
on the subject of wankers, builders who think it's alright to start drilling and trying to make as much noise as possible at 7am just because the neighbours fancy a new crapper0 -

Before we married, my missus insisted on using the term 'partner'. I got sick of reminding her that we were in fact lovers and soulmates, not a firm of solicitors.6 -

Unfortunately Macronate the conversation developed today. One of them has tickets to see Pharell tonight at the o2. The conversation has moved onto Pharell and phrases such as these are being thrown around....Macronate said:people not knowing what the house scene in India is like right now.
"Pharell is sick man, you cannot question what he's bringing to the scene at the moment"
"Nah but you gotta respect Jay Z, he came from nothing to be where he is today, that's real"
"Kanye is a sell out though, etc etc etc"
Just as I write this, they're talking about wine, apparently alcohol was invented in Iran, so there's diversity in this all encompassing shite.
What will I get tomorrow, I can't wait to find out0 -
Trains that are consistently a few minutes late.
If the train physically cannot keep to the timetable, just change the timetable so commuters aren't sat in the pissing wind for 5-10 minutes extra than they need to.
Maybe if they forced train drivers to stick their head out of the window when they're running late in cold/wet weather, I don't think there'd be as many late trains, or the drivers would ask for the timetables to be changed to something actually possible within the laws of physics.
Also, trains whose timetables don't satisfy the demand. I take a commuter train that only runs twice an hour during peak hours. Since most people start work at either half past or on the hour, why do both trains reach their destinations (a major city) just after half past or the hour? If I start work at 8, what good is a train that gets me to the station at 8.03? What good is that to commuters who start work at 9? Who is this train intended for, the staff of the only office in England that starts work at 8.15? Bastards.7 -
Whatever it is cabbles, I hope you share it. Sounds like you've got the makings go a Dave Gorman set there.cabbles said:

I had to look him up there, the only Gorman I know was Paul Gorman, he of the early 90s. If it's excruciatingly bad I'll spare you. Why should CL suffer this. They'll definitely be reviewing it though......Stig said:

No need to be rational about it!

Surely people who have a 20 minute walk to the office as they have to stop off and get their Latte/Cappuchio/American on the way.0

Granted, except, like most cities, there are multiple stations all within 15 minute walk of each other, so if your walk to work is more than 10 minutes from one station, it is probably less than 10 minutes from another station. I honestly don't know, looking top down on the city, how anyone's place of work could be further than 15 minute walk from the nearest train station unless they're walking on their knees.MrOneLung said:

Can I add 'The wife'? There's something weird about it. Especially when you knew the woman before they were married. "The wife will be here soon." What? We both know her name's Julie, what are you talking about?rina said:
