That's ridiculous - surely they broke it, they pay for it?
We’ve made a formal complaint, and the word compensation has been thrown around. But we were going for a 1.89% 5 year fixed rate, and given an option of a 2.09% 2 year fix, or 2.41% 5 year fix. Works out to an extra £500 for the 2 year, plus a £1k fee to remortgage again which we wouldn’t have had to do, or extra £3k for the 5 year. Name the fuckers so we can avoid the scum. |

Mortgage is with HSBC, who as far as I can tell haven’t done anything wrong, it’s the mortgage brokers fault. They got the details wrong (first house fell through, buying a different one, they applied again with right address but first houses values), and didn’t book a valuation in early enough, otherwise we could have found these things out earlier. The broker is L&C. |

Games admin
I have unplugged the PS3 and sent it to live with the goons.
Also moved the PS4 to the PS3's olx position and put it on HDMI2.
I've connected a new HDMI 2.1 cable and an external HD for the PS5.
It's all most exciting.

I finished the Halloween sweets off the day after Halloween. It turns out the kid hates sour sweets which made up the bulk.
It looks like the new AMD GPUs have gone the same way as the Nvidia ones and demand has far outstripped supply. It will be interesting to see how many people get their desired console before Xmas at this rate.

I'll be very lucky if I get my PC before Xmas... the 10GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 is the bottleneck! |

The Beano famously from Dundee. Only three other things are famous in Dundee; jam, jute and junkies, and they stopped making jam and jute decades ago.
Just a bit of friendly Aberdonian rivalry there. Said that to a Dundonian at work once, she did NOT find it funny, the humourless junkie bint.

I spent a part of the evening cleaning up the mess after knocking over a beer glass that shattered into a thousand pieces.
I also almost threw out my back when I had to heave an enormous parcel from my wine club inside. It comes with a fancy decanter, but who's got time for that sort of thing?
These are the hidden dangers of lockdown drinking no one is talking about.

Hello Possums!
A note of cheer from the alternate 'box:
"My friend's been ill in bed for the past couple of weeks, so I visited her today and took some DVDs, various fridge items, and a bottle of wine.
I was very quiet, so let’s hope she won't notice they're gone."

It was built in 1901, its not even that old by British standards. My bloody house was built in 1901. Shite boat, shite city. |

A cake supposedly first made in the late 18th century, and yet somehow also favoured by Mary Stuart, who died in the late 16th century. Dundonian propoganda. That the best they could even imagine for themselves is a distinctly average cake says it all really. |

Hi Good news - email from GAME. My PS5 has been dispatched. Worst news of 2020 - Yodel are responsible for delivering it. WHHHHHHYYYYYYYYY!!??!! GAME, the treacherous bastards, have just sent me an email. Bearing in mind that I ordered an item from them, upon which we agreed a tidy sum, that was to be delivered by ROYAL MAIL, to my house. The email, from the buck passing liars, says, amongst other lies/buck passing: "Due to the volume of PlayStation 5’s in the UK market and the size of the product, the launch has led to UK wide delivery challenges for all Retailers and Couriers. Our aim has always been to ensure that as many orders arrive on time for release day as possible therefore, we have had to secure multiple couriers to help try to achieve this. However, for reasons beyond the control of GAME, YODEL have informed us today (18th November) that not all orders due to be delivered by them will be delivered on release day. This is due to capacity issues in their delivery network and may mean that your tracking information is not fully updated until Friday." " What's that?, loads of people have bought our supply of PS5 consoles?," "and they want them on the day we said we'd deliver them??!" "Holy shit?!" "Get the delivery guys on line one, STAT" This email arrived a few hours before delivery date. Liars. Don't blame Yodel, you cunts. I paid for a product to be delivered by Royal Mail. If it had said when I was buying that Yodel (or A. N. Other, delivery firm was delivering) I would have gone for collection. If you'd had just said in your email "Soz, we're a bit busy, it will be next week" then that's fine by me. Buck passing cunts. No more purchases from me. And I did like my pre owned game deals quite regularly. And have bought my last 5 consoles from them, 5,4,3,2,switch. Another one bites the dust. Buck passing cunts. EVERYONE ELSE: "NOBODY CARES TUFFERS, YOU WANKER". Oh. |
