HSBC so called Bereavement department
I had the misfortune to have to make use of the HSBC bereavement support department today, after the very recent death of my mother. Was it too much to expect a slightly helpful attitude?

Music Magpie - Warning
Do not use Music Magpie! I sent 91 items to Music Magpie, and the total came to £128.33. Now that they've finally paid me, they only sent £115.18. I queried with their online support, and they've told me that one DVD had no disc in (surprised, as I double checked everything, but not bothered as it was only 26p), and one…

That, I’m…

BBC rant!
The BBC spends £4.1 billion every year. To justify its existence, the BBC claim that for every £1 spent, there is £2 of benefit - Thats £8.2 billion of benefit for our economy.

It was supposed to be in 3D but to our delight it was actually in some sort of super realistic new technology. About a quarter way into the film a group of realistic cave women and their spawn were rendered in the seats behind…
