Defective season 5 disc 6 in the Barnaby Jones DVD box set (8 seasons - 179 episodes) so just discovered now - more than two years after purchase.

Emailed Amazon.com and asked would they send me the standalone season 5 as a replacement solution. Told them I realise that the return window is long since closed but asked them to make exception on basis that 1) it'll only cost them $20 and 2) I have placed in excess of 500 orders with the group over the last 15 years.

Computer says no.

That smiley face you put in doesn't disguise the obvious threat there. I have reported your post..... to the police.

My fecking car. Second hand, fair enough, but 3 months old to me - first funny business with the "entertainment unit" switching to the next song when I pressed the clutch after idling, then the brakes "seizing" when I park it overnight on a tiiiiny slope, then the squeaks from the suspensions when I get out of the car (and no, I'm not a hippo), and the squeaks from the accelerator, then the noise coming from the steering wheel that sounded like I was winding up an old-fashioned clock, then the fuel gauge playing tricks on me and telling me I used up two whole "tabs" of petrol in 9km, and tonight, the last straw: an airbag error. SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!

After lots of hassle, delays, etc., I got the car back on Thursday. The issue with the "entertainment unit" hasn't gone, and the car now has a bad dent on the bonnet. I'm fit to be tied.:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I'm currently waiting for somebody.
I've gone to every shop about twice and I know if I go somewhere for food they'll be ready all of a sudden!

Catching someone out in a lie is a big TA. I would almost prefer not to know that they were lying than deal with the figuring out why they bothered lying in the first place.
If that makes sense…

Living Off The Splash

I was on a Ryanair flight yesterday. This old phart about the same age as myself gets on the plane and sits in the window seat of our row........except he leaves his suitcase sitting in the aisle of the plane........just abandoned like......for somebody else to deal with.....

The eternal struggle of coming across someone you know on Tinder and even though you think they’re decent looking, do you swipe right or not because if you did would it be awkward?

One thing I can't get my head around is the reaction from some people when a newspaper/website writes an article about how fatty/sugary something is it's fairly common knowledge that Redbull has a lot of sugar and Caffine in it. Similar with fast food.
Yet you still get all these people commenting OMG, or they tag one of there friends saying stop your son from buying this.

Lately I only remember that I have business related calls to make, when it's lunchtime.

Witnessed some incredible parenting the other day at a wedding. One of the bridesmaids has two kids (one baby and a 3-year old) that she just had to bring to the ceremony with her. Now I don't mind the 3-year old being involved as he was the page-boy and the bride's godson. But the bridesmaid's husband was tasked with minding the two kids, and let's just say he is a traditional old-school farmer type who wouldn't be overly used to minding them.

He let the three-year old run around with abandon, clambering around the altar, grabbing one of the microphones etc. The groom had to eventually intervene and escort him back to his seat. That could be explained away by him nursing the baby, but when the baby started crying at the top of her lungs for ages, he had no wherewithal to bring her outside for a while. I mean the whole ceremony was been recorded and now its essentially ruined by a crying baby, while even the priest was getting a bit flustered by the noise. I actually felt sorry for the wife, who was mouthing at him from her seat at the front to bring the baby outside.

TL;DR. There's a time and place for young children-weddings aren't one of them.

IMO, they're ok, provided that a responsible adult looks after them.

overindulged kids, pet annoyance of mine. Parents smiling fondly while the little darlings wreck things, upset others and cause havoc.

Swipe right if you like them, K. No sense in playing it “safe”.

If they don’t do the same **** ‘em, you took a shot. Shouldn’t be awkward, unless they act the ham. And if they do you can just either act like you don’t know what they’re on about or it was an accident.

Was this the 'accents' thread?

My phone is still in for repairs while they wait for a part. The reason I bought a new phone is because the battery on my existing phone was kaput. Have to keep charging it after I’ve been on a call. Lucky I’m not that popular!

Too serious to be trivial ... but I’m watching a Panorama investigation into a multimillion-pound industry that sells men pick up techniques.

It contains very disturbing footage of women being hassled and some of the lads aren’t too concerned about obtaining consent. It’s scary to think that there are such vile people who prey on women and record their sexual activities without consent so they can promote their pick up techniques businesses.

Leo Varadkar's pre-budget comments about the first time buyers scheme:

‘What we’re working on are some modifications to make sure that it is actually helping young couples to buy, rather than subsidising couples who can already well afford to buy’.

Apparently it's official government policy that only couples (and young couples at that) deserve to be able to buy a home. Single people can just, I dunno, squat in a hovel until they die, or something.
