RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted July 31, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've just been reading about someone here in Oz, who allegedly cancelled an internet service over 3 years ago. When he attended the bank for another matter (presumably about a loan), the bank manager pointed out that the internet provider, was still deducting payments after all this time! Why oh why, don't people check their bank statements EVER? Don't they get personal responsibility for checking their own statements, to avoid this sort of error? Good luck getting a loan, when you can't demonstrate following the basics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't help when banks (and other financial entities) want you to go paperless and stop sending statements. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Or electricity/gas suppliers invite you to go paperless then ask you to read the meters and email them across.......but totally ignore what you send them and estimate instead.

Then change provider and then they advise you that they don't do smart meters............... yet [*] Actually - that didn't make me smile - it made me What will make me smile is when they have to send a meter reader because I refuse to read my meter for them. (I have actually read the meter and their estimated bill isn't too far out) [*] I will also raise another smile when the new provider comes and fits another smart meter at their expense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they invite you to have smart meters (Feb 2016) and several years later still haven't fitted them, then more recently they check the very old meters because of their age, say they need replacing, arrange for new non-smart meters to be fitted asap and still don't come and fit them.

Tangoman69 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Apple does it again! Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost from £499 to £699, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough ... because women are always complaining about men staring at their breasts and not listening to them. 3 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangoman69 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I checked into a hotel on a business trip and was a bit lonely so I thought I'd get me one of those girls you see advertised in phone booths when you're calling for a cab. I grabbed a card on my way in. It was an ad for a girl calling herself Erogonique, a lovely girl, bending over in the photo. She had all the right curves in all the right places, beautiful long wavy hair, long graceful legs all the way up to her arse. You know the kind. So I'm in my room and figure, what the hell, I'll give her a call. "Hello?" the woman says. God, she sounded sexy. "Hi, I hear you give a great massage and I'd like you to come to my room and give me one. No, wait, I should be straight with you. I'm in town all alone and what I really want is sex. I want it hard, I want it hot, and I want it now. I'm talking kinky the whole night long. You name it, we'll do it. Bring all your implements, toys, everything you've got in your bag of tricks.We'll go hot and heavy all night Tie me up, wear a strap on, cover me in chocolate syrup and whip cream, anything you want baby. Now, how does that sound?" She says, "That sounds fantastic, but for an outside line you need to press 9." 4 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium kevinlms Posted August 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 4, 2019 He sat at the dinner table With a discontented frown. The potatoes and steak were underdone And the bread was baked too brown. The pie was too sour and the pudding too sweet, And the roast was much too fat; The soup so greasy, too, and salt, 'Twas hardly fit for the cat. "I wish you could eat the bread and pie I've seen my mother make. They're simply great, and 'twould do you good Just to sample a loaf of her cake." Said the smiling wife, "I'll improve with age -- Just now I'm but a beginner; But your mother has come to visit us, And today she cooked the dinner. 6 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if you deconstruct the penultimate line, it is not actually far from being a colloquial English appreciation.
