You get invited to a party months ago. Invites say food and drink provided and ask for any dietary requirements. They are sent off. Day of party. Told to eat before as unable to provide food for you.
So off to pub now.

Result, the food at the party will probably be rubbish and their range of gins will suck

To add to today being completely arse we have no water in our block of flats. This is about the 4th time in 3 years. It usually takes 3 days to resolve as the water company and the management company argue over what it is. I bought two large bottles of water to keep us going.

MPs getting knighthoods given that they have been next to useless in the past 2 years

I have a UK mobile. Top it up online they said. Not an issue with an overseas card/address they said. My roll over 4Gb of data expires tomorrow I need to top up they said.
I enter my credit card info and address and my country as Poland and

The fvckwits want a UK postcode.
And obviously, no chat app and no I can’t call them because I need to top up

cvnts

Can’t you just get a friend in the UK to top it up for you? Or do it online? :thinking:

It’s the online portal that is stupid won’t accept a Polish Postcard for the registered address of my card, I moaned on Twitter & tbh they have been really good, Olivia has been chatting to me she’s getting the Customer Service team to call me tomorrow, she even wants to meet up with me at Glasto :slight_smile:

The annoyance. Mrs P_F ducked out & dumped me to get the car MOT’d.
Alone. Nobody speaks English.
I have NO idea what is going on lots of head shaking and pointing but it seems to have passed pending possibly a lightbulb - more pointing going on.
Think the guys finding it hilarious. I’m staying smiley.
Nice spot though

Best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself. You seem to be doing it well.

I haven’t been asked yet so obviously not.

I’d refuse it, naturally.

I refused mine until my wife pointed out how we could make good use of it without actually deserving any of the advantages.

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.

Doing a tour of hotel chains…

Premier Inn Cheltenham last night- got there late and thought I’d eat in the restaurant as too knackered to go out. Inept staff with no customer service skills and what sort of chef puts your salad under a heat lamp for 15mins before telling the staff my meal was ready?

Jury’s Inn Exeter for the next couple of days. Rammed with loud pissed people on a course getting wankered in the bar (it’s only 8:20 ffs!) - where I’m waiting for Young Adult #1 to turn up to go get some food - painful.

Will then be spending the next couple of days helping to clean her student gaff before we move her out on Saturday for the summer.

He probably thinks the gastrointestinal upset is an ironic dig at modern restaurants who accidentally serve +Ā£3k bottles of red and the punters don’t notice…

When someone from a government department turns up at the office and all the managers go a little weird. They also get the place cleaned, theres fruit in a bowl etc.
