So we moved... moved is a bit of a advanced word.
We moved in some things, but not everything.
Now we have no phone, understandable as we have just moved, but who would know its so dam annoying to phone the postoffice phone service.
Number One
I am a old customer, I want to make some changes mainly moving my account, I HAVE to call a 0845 number. If I am new I get to call a 0800. People who don't know PLEASE use SayNoTo0870.co.uk . Once that was used I called a 020 number, if I had called on a 0845 number I have no idea how much 24.10 would of cost ... (has a google oh about £1.25) but thats not the point when I can make it cost me like 40p.
Number Two
Hold music
With about 20 mins of hold music you get to hear some songs, my phone is quite loud but the hold music was appallingly quiet it was not until quite far in i decided to list the songs.
You really got me - kinks
Sweet mary jane -
As you can see I only got 2 but thats the point one is praticaly mocking my being on hold the other is depressing nice but depressing.

Looking through and picking ones at random -
I must have the best part of 100 blocked.
Looking through and picking ones at random -
"What Tim Burton Character are you?"
"Which Dave Matthews Band song are you"
"Find Your exact age"
"how well do you know Stoke"
"I bet i can find out your favorite color in 7 questions"
I have two .... TWO "which harry potter character are you?"
What is my issue with them?
Well I will tell you, I don't want to be getting rid of them
Every
Three
Seconds
I don't have any want or need to know any of the above .. and why should I ?
I Don't want my feed being filled with "Sorority Life" or "what Shakespeare Character are you?" Do I look like someone who cares what your results were in a pot like questionnaire ... if I have the undieing urge to know such things I will ask..
"Say friend who I dont speak to much but you are on my facebook, "what do your eyes say"" < what does that even mean ? ?

Mass emails
Ducking annoying.
Why. No really. Why do they exist they are SO mid 90's
Bloody things come to my in-box and get me all riled up. I don't want to know about. . . .
If you have been rent a interesting e main that might be good to e mail others. For gods sake spend at LEAST 2 mins on snopes and find out if it's real. I am willing to bet its not.
If its funny and I mean stupidly funny but not real that's ok.
BUT if its some bull from 3 years ago I will just get all crazy.
Just say no
Also with the mass email things people who use the forward button just so I can see all the hundreds of people who have been fwits.

Facebook I love you but FGS stop it
So I like to post links. I like others to enjoy the weird things i find.
I think they are judging me on this.
I want to post a link and now have one of those god dam funky picture password jobbies everytime. especialy as i was looking for about 2 mins at one the other day trying to work out what it even said.
Whats worse is the listening ones ... have you ever listened to them it is SCARY i mean REALLY scary.
I suppose the next phase in "checking your a human" would be to do something like ask a question and you have to reply with a paint drawing of the answer.
q- what heats the world

Wet Look leggings
Now if you have seen the blog below about jeggings I did mention the hell that is "wet look" leggings.
Now WHY
logic dictates wet clothes are not cool, and a warning to others.
Either its very wet outside - the warning there is that you would be aware of the precipitation and should take precautions.
The other warning is that there is some one hiding round the corner to spray water on you.
Now my good friend Steve was looking up jeggings after my wee rant and discovered that "wet look" items are actually originally designed for the fetish community. Which I can believe just look below you tell me the difference.
Why just WHY ? I am sure about 5 people can pull them off.. like jeggings its going to show off your flab, but its also going to attract looks.
I think 2 looks.
WTF
and
OMG she looks horrible in those with those legs.
I say "she" I saw some pictures that were with guys wearing them. This is just as wrong. It's like having a glitterball that crushes and presents your package to the public.
There is a page on blogspot that is PRO this.. Now I can but hope as it has not been updated since 2 months ago, it is a item that will soon disappear.
Let us all pray

Jeggings
I have tried 3 times maybe 4 to write this post.
Now Jeggings, if you have not heard of them thank your lucky stars you have not been witness to the hellish love child of jeans
and leggings.
Now to be fully correct they are not jeans like Mr Clarkson , possibly the only person to cause a recorded slump in jeans sales, has on but skinny jeans (see below or some local area and look at the "emo" kids)
Now my hate for jeggings is this.
THEY ARE NOT REALLY CLOTHES!!
Yes they are "a covering" in the same way that a skirt the same size as a belt is a covering. But that is attractive on the right person.
Jeggings are basically leggings which have a pattern on that is likend to that of jeans.
Now if you want something as close as leggings and suitable to keep you warm you need skinny jeans.
If you want to be cold and show off your flab, you will be needed leggings.
Why under any circumstances would you need the satanic birth child of both.
I wont show you a picture, you can google them your self. Infact when I googled jeggings I found the new fresh hell, I shudder to type but "wet look jeggings"
"wet look" items will be reserved for another day.
I can't understand them I really can't. I do suppose that on the plus side it is getting to winter and people MIGHT just wear some more sensible clothing.
That mega phone might be handy soon.

Waitrose the reply and YES it did come that quick
Thank you for your e-mail.
It has been our experience that many customers wish to spread the cost of the forthcoming season over a period of time, and by introducing Christmas products at the end of September / beginning of October, it enables them to do so.
We have given careful consideration to the question of the introduction of our Christmas assortment this year bearing in mind the views of those customers with a like minded view to you. It is the case that the on sale date for Christmas merchandise is no earlier this year than it has been in previous years. Indeed, if anything, we tend to start the sale of such products a little later now than we did a few years ago. With regard to the rate of sale of Christmas merchandise, it is the case that it is spread across a number of weeks, and whilst some customers choose to delay the purchase of wrapping paper and puddings until the week before Christmas, many others opt to buy these earlier, and concentrate their purchases in the last few days before Christmas to fresh food items.
Regards,
