Some years ago a fair few lads rented an apartment up five thousand hellishly steep flights of stairs in the middle of Amsterdamâs redlight district. The loo there had what @DellBoy christened a âpresentation shelfâ. It was not nice.

True story, due to the raw meat that the Europeans like to eat that shelf is there so they can check theyâre poo for worm eggsâŚ

True story.
Me & mate land in Tokyo check in to hotel I head to crapper & shower while he sleeps.
His turn.
Maybe 5 or 10 minutes later a spine chilling scream, a crash bathroom door flies open he flies out hits head on wall crumpled heap with pants around ankles.
After a moment
Wtf? Happened?
Heâd inadvertently put his hand down & pressed the wash & blow dry buttonsâŚ
He didnt travel muchâŚ
Took about 3 days for me to stop laughing. Was reminded of it today in the store as well as your post

Mrs G phoned on our last night expecting to catch us in the midst of extreme hedonism. We were all sat in the apartment watching the Masterchef final.

That wasnât 5000 steep step place.
That was the one on the market square with the âwrong uns with long unsâ at the red light end of the road.

A while ago, November 2019 to be exact, I purchased a Google Pixel Slate and keyboard bundle as it was going for a song in the Google store.
Back at the end of February this year, 2021, the keyboard stopped working. I tried all sorts of stuff to get it going but it wouldnât, so I contacted Google support. After a bit of backing and forthing they said that I would need to return the keyboard AND Slate to get a refund. They needed to be returned together as they were part of a bundle.
I thought this weird but thought I could easily buy a new Chromebook with the refund.
So I got an email with return instructions for the keyboard, I queried this and they said that I needed to return both as they were part of a bundle, this I duly did, sending them to Poland!!
Couple of days later I get an email saying theyâve received the parcel and will be issuing a refund for the keyboard!!! I again queried this and the agent said that I would be getting the whole amount.
2 days later and I get a refund for ÂŁ169, the price of the keyboard (I would never have bought the keyboard for that BTW, it basically came free with the slate).
So I chase up Google who say they will be looking into it, 3 months later and itâs still being looked into
I have now lost patience and am wondering what my next steps could possibly be, not sure who I can escalate it to within google, would an Ombudsman of some sort be my next step or should I talk to my local CAB??
You need a lawyer.
To write your next email.

The fact that marmite is turning up everywhere - marmite butter, marmite peanut butter, chilli marmite
Why the fuck do they keep doing this but not bring back the one thing that it did work with - marmite mini cheddars

Agree with the first part. Strangely, Marmite and peanut butter work together but Marmite flavoured peanut butter is awful.
But my local independent bakery makes a cheese and Marmite sourdough loaf that is awesome.
Never understood why sourdough is so popular. Itâs full of holes and tastes like cardboard. It is passable if it is toasted and used with pate, but other than that, itâs shite (purely IMHO of course).
