Another whinge. West Quay Parking in both car parks is now a pain in the bollocks. The cunts have done away with the ticket machines now, so you have 3 options to pay for your parking as they base it on number plate recognition. 1 - register with a generic website which is not specific to WQ and really isnāt easy to use, giving them all manner of unnecessary details (presumably so they can flog it on). 2 - Scan a publically displayed (no chance of that being scammed then) QR code which leads you to a website where you can pay. Except there aint no fucking signal in WQ car parks, so everyone using this has to troop out to the High St to get a signal and pay for their parking. 3 - Pay at the exit point - that wonāt cause queues in peak times at all. No, Sir.
I went to Festival Place in December. Parking payment was a piece of piss. Big box on the wall. Input reg number, tap card, out. Easy.
And on Saturday WQ escalators were out of order as was one in M&S. Felt like the place is starting to get old and shitty.
So this morning I decide to bin me all-in-one HP Printer. The thing was refusing to connect with the hub sitting on my desktop, 6 feet away. Add to the annoyance when it was offering to connect to every other Hub in North Baddesley. The HP Free Ink charter was also failing to supply me with a new ink cartridgeā¦cunts. SO itās now keeping company with another 3 old printers in the loft.
I went up the local shop and bought a new oneā¦back to Epson againā¦I have a large Epson Scanner and thatās never caused anything but joy. The new Printer is connected and sitās happily in my study awaiting my bidding.
Village shop ttip. No bread at home
Fvck me, I havenāt felt cold like this since my kids decided I should dance with the ex wife at my eldest Sonās wedding
Trying to apply for a renewal of a British passport

they then dont respond to any queries on the new fangled website.
they send you a letter by snail mail that arrives after the date required to respond to.
they tell you in the letter that the amount already paid is non refundable.
they are only available between the hours of 8 till 8 UK time.
