Christmas has been quite good this year, even though we're still still stuck in rural North Wales using the outlaw's internet connection and the kids are still winding us up.

But I swear that if another child leaves another crying fudge*ing doll anywhere near me again I'll put an axe through it without an ounce of regret!  Why anyone who has ever had children would want to buy a child a doll that cries is completely fudge*ing beyond me :tantrum:

I wholeheartedly condem to years of torture in hell the mindless, retarded, thoughtless toymakers without children and the idiots who buy these insesate, irritating mannekins for right-minded people like me and you! :tantrum:

I know that all sounds ungrateful because there are kids that don't have good Christmases, but bloody hell I'm wound up and this is the place to vent! :tantrum:

Hi

Try this one................

Background:

I'm a Diabetic (Type 2), have mobility issues, and suffer from stress depression & some memory loss. So I have to take a few tablets with my food. Run out of food/money over weekend, so DWP Crisis loan in order, or so I thought..........
(Dept Work Pensions office hours 08:30 to 16:30 ONLY)

What Happened:

11:45  Rang DWP, got the Crisis Loan Tel no.
11:48  Rang number, but went through the automated speeches, pressed the buttons, but got "Sorry we are busy..." message. Instead of putting me on hold, it rang off.
11:49 - 14:00. Repeated above constantly. (Had to recharge phone every 30 mins for abot 5 mins)
14:00  Rang DWP again, got different number
14:00  Rang new number. Got automated message, but at least this time it actually put me in a queue. (Progress)! Waiting until....
14:25  Got through, but before DWP could amswer phone out of charge.
14:26  Recharge for 5 mins
14:30  Rang again. Again, in 'queue'.
14:55  Answered! But wrong area - alternate number DWP gave me was for Nottinghamshire, NOT Gloucestershire! They suggested I re-ring original number, as they said it's now working..... (Yeah, right).
14:57 Recharge phone...
15:05 Re rang original number. Now in queue!
15:35 Still in queue - phone went dead.
15:36 Recharge phone
15:50 Re ring original number
16:05 Finally get through! Answering security questions phone dies. Not out of charge, completely DEAD!
16:10 Check connections, etc. Phone definitely dead. (Cue Monty Python Parrot sketch). Try to sort it out. No good.
16:15 Get dressed, hobble to public phone box, short distance away.
16:25 Make call, in queue (again.)
16:29 Get through! Give mobile number so they can ring back.
16:40 They ring back, but say not entitled to Crisis Loan, since I've already used up my quota for year. Explain my health situation. 'Suggest' operator get manager, which he does.
17:00 Manager says last time I can get loan for 12 months, (my notes amended accordingly). Condescending that I should 'budget' better. Grrrr - If I got the extra Disability Allowance payments I wouldn't BE in this hassle!
17:05 Operator arranges for me to collect my giro 09:30 tomorrow.

Broccoli soup three days running !!!!    :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum:

That will teach me not to label which soup is which when I freeze them.    :(
It looked like the mushroom one when I lifted it out of the freezer.   :?
Not that I don't like broccoli soup, it's just three days running can be a bit much and the farts it cause's are not that nice either.
Trying to eat more healthy and make meals more easy to get ready when I get home from work.

Still here.  Still not found time to update Raul to the next level.  Anything else you're waiting on me for apart from that Balgin?

Oh, and you didn't :tantrum:  You know you should :tantrum: on every post in this thread!
