Sandy’s R(ant)LOG

I can’t believe how many idiots are turning their houses into the Blackpool illuminations for Xmas.  I suppose it goes with their Adidas shell suits and Burberry caps ?  There’s a village near Reading called Southend Bradfield where they seem to have some kind of competition between the chavvy people that live there (so much for quintessential English villages…this place is a dump in daylight, but you should see it on a December evening after dark !!!).  The chavs of Southend Bradfield are trying to out xmas light each other in the saddest possible way. The winner must be the one who can waste the most electricity and bling up their little semis to the point where they’re one candle and a fart short of bringing down the entire national grid…..I reckon you can see this little craphole from the Space Shuttle…maybe even Mars !!

In their spare time I suppose these are the same kind of prats who take a nice, simple family car and lower the suspension and put an exhaust on it that is SO WIDE that would get you arrested for selling weapons of mass destruction of the geezer who bought it was Iraqi…..coupled with 4 blinging corners that pass for wheels…what are they thinking ??  Check out Maccie D’s car park in Newbury…it’s full of these twats on a Friday night.

Good.  He was a mass murderer and the world is a more peaceful place without people like him. 

My thoughts today and every day are with the thousands of people who died simply becasue they disagreed with him.  In the age of the internet this should never be allowed to happen.  Man’s inhumanity to man is somethig that our species should never be able to tolerate, yet it happens time after time, in the name of politics, race  or religion.

 I have a dream, a dream that one day we will LIVE becasue we have no religion and we have no politicians and that we respect each other for what and who we are…I’m no altruist…. I’m just an atheist and apolitocal…and I wish the rest of you were too. 

 Goodbye General Pinochet…may our rotten memories of you remain rotten longer than your corpse.

Help me…..

…OK, so at 46 I don’t fit the profile of the average Radio 1 listener, but I love music and it’s still my station of choice.  Zane Low, Edith Bowman (gotta luv her, she’s a Dundee supporter !!) and especially Jo Whiley (The live lounge is the best thing that has EVER been on Radio …at least since John Peel ) are amongst a great bunch of hosts…

 …but…and I mean a big BUT…Chris Moyles….who are ya ???   How did this fat, opinonated, prick with a chip on his shoulder the size of Yorkshire get the top slot on Radio 1 ?????

I realise it might be a different audience to the rest of the day, but this guy is so self centered and tasteless…he’s vile.  He’s a sexist pig and I think he should be chucked off the air and sent back to crap local radio where he came from even if it’s just for some of the comments he makes about women…..is it only “lads” who listen to his crap ??

 Scott Mills for breakfast is what I say !!!   SEND THE FAT TWAT BACK TO LEEDS….GOD KNOWS THE FOOTBALL TEAM (AT LEAST) DESERVE HIM !

It gets worse !!

About 3 years ago I upgraded my phone and got sold on TalkTalk at the same time.  Now, we have swiitchboard here at home and at least 4 different numbers…I couldn’t remember which one was my burglar alarm number, so I registered that too as it didn’t cost anything.

Then……….Nothing  happened ….my main 3 numbers that I use every day stayed with BT…..but the 4th number (Redcare) got tranfserred to talk talk !!!!.  18 months of bills for 0p followed.  I made some changes at home and started using the redcare as an ordinary number, but it still didn’t get used as I had reserved it for a bsuiness that i never started.

Sometime later, I upgraded my phone….when I was in the shop I said to the whorehouse rep…can you cancel the TT subscription…”sure” he said and took a note.

I thought nothing more until a few months later I noticed that they were still taking a few pounds every quarter from my account…so I cancelled the DD and got onto them.  All fixed I thought….

 no way!!  I then started getting bills for less than a quid but with a £3 handling charge added because I wasn’t paying by direct debit.

 No way would I pay these cretins MORE for the handling charge than the phone bill was costing !!

 So, we got into what I thought was a polite conversation where I offered to pay for the calls, but not the handling charge….”we’ll get back to you” said the nice lady at CPWhorehouse…

…about 5 days later I get a letter from a debt collection agency demandingf full payment….”BASTARDS” I thought.  After several more letters I sent a cheque for £10 to the debt agency as a “full and final settlement”…this covered the total cost of the calls plus a couple of quid to shut them up.

 They cashed the cheque.

 2 days later they send me a letter saying that they no longer worked for the CPWhorehouse and had sent my file back to them.

About a month later I get a letter from another debt collection agency demanding payment with all the usual threats and menaces….needless to say I’ve sent them a letter pointing out that my cheque was cashed and politely inviting them to fuck off and start harassing other people !

Haven’t heard from them in the last few weeks….but be sure….I’ll keep you posted if I do !!

God I hate mobile phone companies….especially Carphone Warehouse.  Here’s a brief synopsis why.

I get a text message from them…”Hey you qualify for a free upgrade”….great I thoyght, and I pop off to my local branch.

CW…..sorry but you don’t qualify for an upgrade for another month

ME…so why did you send me a message saying that i did ?

CW….ah…that only applies to internet sales….

 4 weeks later….I’ve recovered and I head back to same shop.  I’ve had a phone account with them for 3 years and I decide to change to Vodafone. 

CW … you’ve failed the credit check.

ME Why, I have no credit problems

CW …you’ll have to write to head office, but for now, you can stick with O2 or fuck off.

ME ….OK I’m leaving

since then I doscovered that I’m saving a fortune by keeping my handset and using pay as you go….think everyone else should realise what a scam it is to stitch people up on an 18 month contract that forces them to basically assume an even pattern of phone usage.  Scam number 2 is jidding you taht the phone is somehow free…yeah presuming you stump up £40 a month for 18 months….and tehn you only get a “deal” if you use your minutes every month.  DO what I did…go get a PAYG card and buy a cracking new phone for less than £300 with the money you’ve saved !!!

Prats who drive in broad daylight with their foglights on.  Yeah…like “…don’t you know it was raining heavily yesterday and you got too close to my bumper on the M3…so I switched on my rear foglights…and I liked what they did, so I’ve kept them on today for SAFETY….”

 Why do people who drive Renaults always have their foglights on ?

Prats who drive at night with their front foglights on……why do car manufacturers insist on putting these things on cars…they’re useless in fog and the dipsticks that buy their cars obviously think “what does this button do ?….duh…oh yeah…it’s the funny annoying little extra sidelight button…dumb idiots like me always switch this on…especially when it’s not foggy….here goes…” …click…..well take an eyeful of my mainbeam at night and bite a hedge you sad little button pushing twonk !!

Prats who deliberately try to slow me down, then flash their lights and peep thier little horns when I drive past them …get a life !!
