Off Topic The Goodhand Arms

When I said discount stores I meant Poundland and 99p Stores...rather than Lidl and Aldi.

 

Mobile phone providers are crap tho, EE/ Orange being by far the worse. EE tried charging me money after my contract had run out with them (£240). It's a shame mobile providers outsource nearly all their customer service call centres.

 

I thought EE were supposed to be the best, or so they were voted last year..? Orange, I have known from my days in IT. Horrible support, useless product and service. Incidentally, I know they are linked, but I thought the Orange brand was being phased out..?

 

Okey dokey..!

Actually, I have had a tip passed onto me by a fellow Italian whose proper coffee is superb [I should admit I've not tried it yet]. She occasionally makes me a cup when I'm passing, and one day I asked her where she got such excellent coffee. Poundland, was the answer, and she wasn't joking either.

In the past, when I wanted filter coffee, I bought it in Sainsburys. Tbh, it was awful. I then started buying it in Lidl. It was a lot better. But her stuff is really very good indeed. So next time I'm buying my filter coffee there.

EDIT: Noted on the household goods.

 

Yeah it is be phased out, but until everyone is on a EE contract and not still on Orange they will do the EE/Orange name thing. EE are just as crap as Orange and I have no idea how they won it, I have to deal with so many complaints about them. Vodafone and Three at least try and keep most of their customer service centres to english speaking countries.

 

My customer service calls with EE often seem to go to India, which is an English speaking country. Other times it's someone with a Geordie accent (harder to understand than Indian) or Northern Irish. Can't say I have any complaints about EE really.

 

Well, at least Joe is getting half-decent service.

Noted though on the Orange news. I have to say that I can't think of a single good thing to say about them, and I can usually find something positive about any IT company [yes, including Apple]. Every single domestic IT problem I dealt with over the years, using their product and service, was laced with layers of poor quality. It's a wonder I don't froth at the mouth these days at the mention of their name. Truly awful.

 

Must be lucky.

 

Must admit that when the news came out that EE/Orange had the best support service for 2013 you could have knocked me down with a feather.

EE are brilliant ( so far ) .

 

FFS .

If you don't want / can't keep / it has served it's purpose . Then give the poor animal to a rescue centre .

Even if the poor thing has to be put to sleep , at least that will be better than this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-29741929

 

Bloody hell. The cruelty that exists out there boggles the mind.

 

Sometimes I despair for the entire human race. I just don't understand how people can do thinks like that and live with themselves.

 

That's disgraceful. Acts like that should carry an automatic 2 year prison sentence.

 

There was that woman who microwaved her car to death about half a year ago, it's disgusting.

 

That's a big microwave. Or did she do it one piece at a time, Johnny Cash style..?

Apologies, couldn't resist.

 

I almost cease to be amazed anymore...what about the people who spend 9 months waiting for a baby to be born, presumably getting everything ready, and then kill it shortly afterwards...usually because surprise, surprise babies cry.

 

Anybody read about that English footballer who was playing for a Norwegian side and they found him in a river, after celebrating two important wins. Very sad:

That is sad . RIP .

 

I love cat's , as most know . BUT I am sure it was a Jaguar ...as TSS said , to big for a microwave ?
