I received this photo from about:blank‘s Jase a few weeks back, taken in Pizza Express in Cardiff Bay. If you ignore the Ginger Jase in the middle of the frame and instead concentrate on the chap to the left, you’ll notice former Liverpool legend and now Cardiff striker Robbie Fowler, sticking rigorously to his fitness regime of a double mighty meaty with extra cheese.
Actually, I don’t know what he was eating, so I can’t say he was scoffing pizza – but it’s just typical that as soon as I leave Cardiff, God moves there. Had I still been at Black Sheep I’d have been there in Pizza Express and would have met the touch line snorting Fowler myself.
Gutted.
See the way Robbie professionally shields his face from the efforts of our clumsy photographer? Genius.
Some time ago I was contacted by a copper about the mysterious disappearance of my ex wife’s father’s chair, from my house. The useless copper insisted he was going to do something about the disappearance of this chair, from my house, despite the fact that it was MY HOUSE and I hadn’t reported anything missing.
Obviously he didn’t actually do anything… shock horror, as we all know the police are utterly useless. But then, what could he do? The chair was dumped in my house… mine!!!
Well, if this photo is anything to go by, the chair has resurfaced, though I’m not sure where. Maybe this is in Cardiff, maybe it’s in Manchester, maybe it’s in Nantes, London, Berlin or Kenya. Who knows where this is, or if indeed it’s THE actual chair. All we know is this: it’s a chair, and it’s NOT in my house.
I took these photographs of my car the other week with a view to eBaying the bastard because I’m fed up waiting for the wankers at Royal & SunAlliance to actually fix it, like they should have done 15 months ago last July. You can see the damage to the back of the car and the ariel that has been ripped off. Both of these things need fixing, but RSA just can’t seem to be arsed god bless ’em.
I guess it must be difficult, fixing a car that you’re responsible for and you’ve admitted liability for and you’ve stated that you will actually fix within a 2 year timescale. Maybe they’re waiting for it to rot away so there’s no evidence?
Whatever the reason, the fact remains that my car isn’t fixed and Royal & SunAlliance are still dragging their feet over doing the work. I can see me leaving this in my will for my descendants to get fixed.
I guess what we’ve learned from all of this is: If you want to use an insurance company that does fuck all when you’re car is stolen, use Royal & SunAlliance. They’ve their own special brand of ‘We couldn’t give a twat’ philosophy.
I certainly will never use them for anything and I urge anyone who actually expects an insurance company to ‘act’ when you need them to do the same.
There’s nothing like a Rugby World Cup to bring together people from different nationalities in a unified love of, well, getting absolutely twatted in an Irish bar. As this photo demonstrates, I have consumed enough Guinness to win a variety of Guinness merchandise and to pose for a photo with a guy I had never met, nor do I know who he is now.
Obviously we got on in O’Neils, though what we had in common I do not know. Perhaps we were both utterly wankered. That seems a likely scenario.
You’ve waited a long time for this, and the wait is finally over. Presenting the video of when I telephoned the police from outside the house of my ex wife’s father in an effort to get them off their arse and actually come out to retrieve my property, as they said they would do a week before.
This was originally posted some time back as a podcast, but now you can actually watch the full motion video of the event.
This video will be followed shortly by the main event of me attempting to break into my house with a crowbar and then having to deal with the police, who did eventually turn up.
That’s for later though, for now, watch the video. If you like it, post a comment or share it with friends!
So I was slightly miffed that Google penalised some blog sites with PR bitch slaps, and left mine alone? I should have kept my big mouth shut for now I have been slapped a PR smackdown. I’ve dropped from a 5 to a 4.
Worse still many of my network sites have also been knocked down, and they don’t sell links so that can’t be the reason. Also the theory that removing Adsense could be a reason has been blown out of the water. I couldn’t get more Adsense into some of my sites if I tried. Some of my sites are on the same IP address and are interlinked, so maybe that’s the real issue here. Google doesn’t like website incest in this way it seems.
Still, so long as traffic and affiliate earnings are unaffected I’m happy with it. The green bar means little, the green backs mean more 😉
High street store Littlewoods have committed some PR suicide today by retracting a £25 online voucher that was redeemed by customers some months back. It seems the voucher was intended for a small portion of customers, but as is the case with these things was passed around like a cheap tart.
This code was then circulated, without our authorisation, through a number of websites resulting in around 3,000 customers obtaining a discount for which they were ineligible.
As a result, in accordance with clause 2.3 of our online terms and conditions we have re-charged this discount back to their accounts and have written to them individually to explain.
Recharging the customers for the extra £25 ensures that no one will ever trust any online vouchers Littlewoods offer in future. I certainly won’t. You never know if they’ll simply recharge your account some weeks, months or even years down the line if they need to increase the profit margins.
This all seems highly murky to me as obviously Littlewoods wouldn’t have had these sales had it not been for the voucher.
