BT debit me £68.50

I’ve just checked my bank statement and sure enough BT have debited £68.50 from my account for 1 month’s broadband. That’s SIXTY EIGHT POUNDS FIFTY for Internet!

I don’t have a phone, so don’t make any phone calls. My broadband is £21.99, my line rental is £11. They have stolen the rest, despite promising to reduce my direct debits from £39.50 to £33. The thieving money grabbing bastards. I am cancelling the direct debit and will insist that BT refund me, and bill me only for what I use monthly

Absolute scum.

Who’d have thought that Wales, Grand Slam winners 2 years ago, would crash out of the World Cup so spectacularly yesterday to Fiji? Being Welsh this was something of a downer, but I imagine a few people made some money on the game through betting with the odds stacked against Fiji.

I’ve tried this myself many times by betting on Champions League games and Premiership matches, but usually lose out. Using a site like 365.com makes this all very easy though. With services like online poker you don’t just need to know about which team is likely to beat which other team, though let’s face it your money’s probably safe if you stick it all on New Zealand to win the Rugby World Cup (just don’t blame me if they lose to Ireland in the quarter final!).

The real money of course in betting on Football matches is betting on the first scorer or correct score finishes. You can even set up your own accumulator bets without having to stroll down the bookies and listen to all those drunk old geezers telling you how they’ve inside tips on the horses.

I’ve used online betting sites like this for a few years now, with varying degrees of success. I did win betting on Liverpool’s champions league success in 2005 - but then lost in 2007. That Milan goal was blatantly hand ball.

Mr Daz phones the Police again

If you remember a few weeks ago I tried to break into my house in Wales as the locks had been changed by my ex-wife’s father and he’d refused to give me the key. The police were called and it was all highly amusing. I haven’t finished editing the video yet (yes, I filmed the whole event!) but just to wet your appetite for this I’m adding the podcast now of when I phoned the Police from outside the ex-wife’s father’s house.

This one’s a right laugh, and the video that accompanies it is even better.

Notice how the police tell me the opposite of what they said the week before.

BT promise to reduce my direct debit

I wasn’t going to add this podcast because the lady from BT was quite helpful, however everything she told me she’d do she hasn’t - so here it is. When you listen to this take note that she promises that BT will reduce my direct debit from £39.50 to £33, I will get a call back within 24 hours about my complaint and I will get a letter detailing my Direct Debit reduction.

Did any of this happen? Well I did get a letter, but instead if saying how my Direct Debit was being reduced, it instead told me they were increasing it to £68!

Fuck me!

Did I get a call back from BT about my complaint? Did I bollocks. I’ve also been unable to raise them again via email, as a previous blog showed when they asked for feedback about how well they’ve dealt with my complaint - when they haven’t even dealt with it at all. It’s good to talk.
