Mark Connolly Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Sky. Just phoned them to bin it, to be told that they have been advertising that my package is now cheaper for existing customers. When I asked why they hadn't contacted customers to tell them this, I was told there are billboards and TV adverts all over the place, and once I had seen them, I should be contacting them to discuss it. That made me angrier than I was already, so I continued with my original plan and binned the thieving c***s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean though. if you listen to one or two particular stations that do them, then you can guess the year after the 1st song because its the same songs that they play from the particular year. Northsound have a habit of giving news or events clue that give it away such as, 'Gordon Strachan scores for Scotland against West Germany in the World Cup in Mexico' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been getting a phone call every day since, sometimes twice, along with some e-mails and texts. Funnily enough, they never put such effort into Customer Service for me when they were trousering my Direct Debit payment every month.* *I fully expect Virgin will be absolutely the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This annoys me more than it should. EDIT no, I don’t work in MacDonalds or any other fast food outlet. A guy in my work constantly wears a baseball cap but he admits it's because he's bald and he hates it. Does the guy in your work have hair loss issues? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indoors it doesn’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, I took a party of 4 American golfers to Falkland Golf club - they had booked a round of golf and a meal in the clubhouse afterwards. They were horrified when they went into the dining room and were asked politely if they would mind removing their baseball caps as it didn't conform with the club's dress code. As far as they were concerned, what they were wearing was the height of high fashion and respectability - I never heard the end of it from these guys. I think it would be fair to suggest that they never went back there again - and possibly never to another Scottish golf club. Who's side would you take here in this case? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had one bunnet that he wore back and forward to work, and one he changed into when he got in. He just about had his head in his locker when he swapped them over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An anecdote from Tom Sheild's Diary. Apparently a pub darts team showed up to play a league fixture at the local golf club where they were dismayed to have their attention drawn to a sign stating "No jeans in the Clubhouse." As they were to a man, dressed in jeans; there was nothing to be done but forfeit the match. Some time later when the return game came around on the schedule, the golfers arrived at the pub to be met with a sign stating "No Pringle Jumpers." 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A rugby boot of a lassie comes into the pub just as the first half of the Scotland game finished, turns the TV onto the rugby and spends the rest of the time on her fucking phone. Good job the rugby finished in time to see the third goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
