I just got back from holiday later than expected. The plane home left without me, simply because I was 10 minutes late for check-in. Where's the customer service in that?! Only 10 measly minutes - who cares about 10 minutes?!!
Getting back a day late meant I was late paying off my credit card. I quickly paid over the phone as soon as I could. They charged me a £25 late payment fee! I gave them the money, what more do they want?!!! My blood?!!!!
Unfortunately because I forgot through no fault of my own about a cash withdrawal I had made, the payment took my current account overdrawn, and the bank fined me £20. Disgraceful. Nobody ever told me about this when I opened the account. I think I'm going to phone them up and tell them I'm taking my account somewhere else. All they care about is the shareholders.
Then I went to the supermarket with a fistful of coupons and they wouldn't change them into money. Some stupid rule about having to buy something first. Totally unreasonable - whatever next?!!!!!
I was so stressed I went clothes shopping and bought a load of clothes I didn't want. Now they won't let me return them and have my money back. That is so unfair.
And to cap it all, flip me, Sky have increased their prices! Again! How can they do that - it's not as if it's a luxury item that I have any choice about buying.
It seems everyone is against me.

So Stonk, are you going to sue them then?? :beer:"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
:rotfl: OK, all together then ...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the light side of life.
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle. That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life,
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of !!!!,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke. It's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!
Always look on the bright side of life!

And that other classic - from 'The Meaning of Life'
Galaxy SongWhenever life gets you down Mrs. Brown,
And things seem hard or tough,
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft,
And you feel that you've had quite enough......
Just, remember that you standing on a planet thats evolving,
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour.
Its orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so its reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In an outer spiral arm at fourty thousand miles an hour
In a galaxy we call the milky way.
Our galaxy itself, contains a hundred billion stars,
Its a hundred thousand light years side-to-side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
but out by us it just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years fron galactic central point,
We go round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions in this amazing and
expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can wizz.
As fast as it can go, the speed of light ya know,
Twelve million miles a minute and thats the fastest speed there is,
So remember when your feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth.
And pray that theres intellegent life somewhere up in space,
Cause theres !!!!!!-all down here on earth.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0
