You w**ker Jeff - I had a really good thread split at the ready.

I must admit I underestimated what one pink ball could do under lights. Imagine one from both ends.

Sean?

On the plus side have got my Coral tickets, can now return to the important work of tidying the house up.

It's not my fault your aged arthritis riddled hands cannot type quick enough to take the thread split. Youth will be served.

I was very impressed the first time I saw The Coral live at The Atoll.
Only thing I'd do different next time would be to hire to scuba gear rather than see them through a glass bottomed boat.

Not at all Adamski. Don't think you'll be the first to bring up the subject.

btw, there are a few half-dead threads overspilling in the "games" section. Not many of us go there these days... which is quite sad... in a way.

Not sure, but you can either watch it with Jeff at his mate's house, or with Tino at Jeff's house

Mrs Windows informed me that she is out tomorrow night. I'm home alone.

I may actually go against all my instincts and buy the PPV. It's either that or watch insect fights/porn on t'internet all evening.

If I go with the boxing, you're both welcome to come over.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 27 Nov 2015, 11:00

I'm with you on this one Rick, I have far too much respect for Tina and Mrs Windows to make any crass remarks about them. Sean, on the other hand, is fair game (as per his entry in the School year book)

Got drunk the other night and purchased tickets for LIFE OF AGONY in Manchester next March. I've never booked anything so far in advance for years. Mrs667 was miffed when I didn't offer to take her but then quickly became un-miffed when I played her some of their songs and she realized she'd dodged a bullet. My daughter is extremely excited as I've promised to take some pictures of SLAYER in Leeds tomorrow. It was either that or have her scream the place down because she couldn't go with me.

If it makes you feel any better Sky have just been round and fitted me a new box gratis Sean. Is smaller and seemingly more efficient than the old one. He also managed to reconnect the surround sound correctly, which tends to be beyond many folk. He will score highly on the client satisfaction survey which will inevitably follow. He did keep calling me dude though which will inevitably cost him marks.

I'm looking forward to your Christmas greetings this year, Serial.

Last year, from memory, I think you told me "have a merry f*cking Christmas, you silly c*nt".

Delivered in a way only you can pull off.

Must admit Jeff, I just upgraded to fibre via EE and it was installed with no fuss and the box arrived early. It is cheaper than my original deal, and I got money off my mobile phone also...

I called my BT executive complaint handler 'another cog in the BT bulls**t machine'. He has gone quiet now.

Come on rick, help me out. There must be a way I can get the fight? I have infinity broadband and a smart TV. I am googling but nothing so far.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 27 Nov 2015, 11:33

There are many ways to get the fight mate, non of which are entirely legal, and if I started posting links and the suchlike Adam et al would have me off the site and rightly so.

Without a subscription of some variety you can not get it legally sorry sean...

by **seanmichaels** Fri 27 Nov 2015, 11:39

Bleddy hell. Tony Cozier looks sensational today (dress down day). I bet her knockers are as firm as a spacehopper.

Joys of living in the Northern Powerhouse Rick

When I moved into my house, the old duffers who'd lived there previously has drilled through their wooden door,frame to get the telephone line in (don't ask). When we replaced the doors and windows we rang BT to come and put the line through the wall and they said we needed a new phone line. I pointed out that, as we were talking about it on the phone, I'd come to the conclusion that the phone line was in full working order and that wouldn't be necessary. They came up with some c*ntish response and sent a fella round (who it turns out I actually know from years back...he says they're c*nts but work's work and he can't afford to have any principles) Anyhoo, new phone line was installed and I later get a bill for £500+. I rang and asked WTF they were playing at. They said it was for parts and labour. I asked what their labour charge was and they said £95 an hour!!!! I told them that there was no way I was paying that as I hadn't agreed to it. They said I would have be informed of their pricing when I agreed to the installation. I said that Christ himself could have come and fitted it and I wouldn't have paid it. I advised them to check their DAT recording to see if they could hear me being told of the £95 hourly labour charge, to send me the evidence and I'd pay the full amount and if not they could go whistle for it. Got a call back 20 minutes later saying that I was right, they were wrong and I only (ONLY!!!) had to pay £115. Three months later they still hadn't cancelled the original bill and sent me an amended one and I refused to pay a penny until I had it in my hand. Had the f*ckers over a barrel.

I feel your pain, Sean...when I say that, I mean the trauma of having to deal with a company like BT, not the pain of being bummed or noshed off by tramps.
