Ticket Scam
I have brought 2 tickets from Worldwideticketstore.com for Kings Of Leon concert. I have since found out that this website could be a scam :mad: , and I probably will not get my tickets or my money back. Can anyone shed any light on this please? And if it is a scam how do I get my money back! Thanks

Stupid Soap Moments
This is a very quick praise but did anyone just see chelsea offer jack branning in eastenders a packet of crisps after he has just woke out of a coma I found this rather idiotically funny. If only chelsea had a brain How soaps do cheer up my boring week.

Bit peeved with T-Mobile.
I've been a T-Mobile customer for 2 years, and have a £15 per month SIM-only contract (not a bad deal, actually), and a £15 per month mobile broadband dongle (bloody ripoff due to awful connectivity issues, but that's for another day!) I just got myself a nice new 'smartphone', and wanted to purchase some kind of internet…

Virgin Media - being a complete pain changing DD details
Simple request you'd think... "I'm moving bank account, I'd like to change my direct debit over"... oh no. I've been trying to do this for pushing a month now - they STILL haven't done it. Fair play, they already requested one payment from my old account (I'd kept it active just to cover that sort of circumstance), but…

Comet - pointless waste of time, wwyd?
The washing machine I bought for £40 ten years ago finally gave up so as a treat to myself I went to Comet and bought myself a brand new one (on sale!).

Door to door charity fundraising...
I don't know if it's just in my area but has anyone else seen an increase in this? It riles me beyond belief. We have frequently had this recently from one charity or another since last year. I've actually found them more hard sell than door to door salesmen! I don't expect to be guilt-tripped into giving money in my own…

Vent at PlusNet
:mad: I am sooooo frustrated. Over a month ago I decided to change the bank that my PlusNet DD came out of. Logged onto the PN website, then went to my bank's website and cancelled the old DD. My first and only mistake: payment for the landline was due out a week or so later and it was too late to change it. :o Therefore…
