Still Jim Beglin

You get 100 points for taking him out:p:lux:

His is, he has a foreign registered car so that he can't get fined or points on his licence when triggering speed cameras:p:D

Chuggers (Charity Muggers) outside the Holmesdale Road on Matchday.

Same guy every week collecting for 'Disabled' children. Never a charity you've ever heard of and shaking his bucket.

My awful week was saved by having Liverpool to win as my banker (though not at 6-0) and getting Arsenal spot on. Still 0 for the week, though.

And Janet is top of our mini-league and keeps bragging about it...

:D :D You're almost right though. That was the only year just after I left College I did work for someone, went solo after that, working for piss all to make my boss, his wife and new baby a good living. Fuera!

Being asked for my PIN when the prompt to enter it hasn't even reached my side of the transaction. Give me a fecking chance you f*cktard!

When you open a new pack of butter, cut a third off and then not be able to wrap the rest of it up again. Infuriating.

That's rubbish; I had both of mine done at the same time.

No, some banks will extend/let you take out mortgages longer - 75 no problem, longer than that will require a bit greater discussion.

The number of soap products - shampoo, shower gel, shaving gel etc that is infused with sulphuric acid or something similar to give you a supposedly "refreshing" feeling .
If I wanted to burn the skin off my face I'd use a blow torch instead of a razor!

He'd be shit company though sitting there on his blower listening to his raas claart tunes.

Being asked as "suitable" security questions when company (bank/utility) has rung me:-

- postcode
- DOB
- how I pay my bills

No, you rang me, how about proving who you are and not with questions (like the above) to which anybody could find out the first two and have a guess at 'direct debit' with the third! :veryangry

Same utility company saying "with great respect, ......" when I am complaining; no, it's not "with great respect", it means exactly the opposite.

Trying to sort out on the phone to my bank a fairly hefty funds transfer, which worryingly appears to have gone missing, I was asked for my security number. Not having a clue what they meant I said I didn't have one, to which I was told "everybody gets one when they open their account". I explained that, in my case, I definitely wasn't given one.

I was then subjected to a polite but sarcasm laden 'perhaps you've forgotten it as your getting old routine' (I'm 56 FFS) and was informed that nobody can open an account without one as their computer systems simply won't allow it.

My request to tell me which computer system they were using back in 1976 when I opened the account was met with complete ******* silence.

Where's my ten grand you ******* ****'s?

Lame-brains on quiz programs who say, "That was a bit before my time". Pathetic.

I never answer them.

I have the same shit Nigel with HSBC who my dementia Mum has an account with. She opened her account in 1970 at Midland Bank in Streatham. As Power of Attorney they still want codes and shit she never bloody set up back then so a thing I need to deal with, although always gets done in the end, takes bastard ages on the phone talking to complete f*ckwitts.

Their legal department wouldn't even accept my Power of Attorney because it was registered in Spain! I even spent a few bob on getting it translated by a sworn court of law for them even though I didn't have to as its registered in The Hague etc etc. I have never had that problem with any other UK company when dealing with Mum's business. HSBC c*nts.

Before I embarked on this fiasco I was speaking to another Palace fan here who had had the same problem with them with his dementia Mum, he said please don't tell me its HSBC they will make everything as difficult as possible.

Best and only possible description of this bank and it's "customer service".
Worst bank ever.

"Please disable your adblock" pop-ups

At least Janet has football in her blood... my mate's wife won our league last season, and although a TV fan of Spurs based most of her predictions on God knows what. If it was anything like the way she picks horses at the track it was the colour of the shirts teams wear!

I'm glad to say she is the only person doing worse this season than me!

Edit... just looked at our table and she moved above me after this weekend by getting zero points!
