Just checked my bank statement and discovered that Microsoft did indeed take money for the cancelled Xbox Live subscription from my account – just shows how often I check my statements – it came out 2 weeks ago!
I rang good old Microsoft to demand the refund originally promised to me. They apologised and said another 15-30 days. Hmmm… do you ever get the feeling you’ve been fobbed off? Anyway, if the money is not in my bank by 19th July, Bill Gates, or whoever is in charge then, will be having a legal threat in the post (just to add to the pile).
Is this Micro$oft getting their own back for those dodgy copies of Windows 98 and Office 97 that I installed many years ago?
Not happy tonight. I tried to save money and be healthy by cooking my own tea from raw, fresh ingredients – pasta and tomato sauce (OK, the tomatoes were in a tin).
With my Gordon Ramsey cooks head on, I started cutting into an onion, only to find out it’s insides had gone all soft and mouldy – very annoying – especially as I had only bought it two days ago.
As it was the only onion in the cupboard, I had to find something else for tea instead :o(
Congratulations to Italy! The team I have backed throughout the whole tournament and not doubted for one moment (honestly!). Italia may be comprised old men, and resemble an retirement home, but they’re World Champions and, most importantly, better than the French – Hahahahahaha!
Italy now progress to the next round where they’ll play my girlfriend, Claire’s, team – Spain. Bring ’em on! Who the f**k is Torres? etc, etc, etc…
Following a comment on my blog about a confusing FiveLive jingle, I decided to e-mail the BBC to find out more…
Hello,
Could you please explain the meaning behind the new radio jingle “at home and now in car”
As far as I was aware, assuming your car has an AM or DAB radio, FiveLive has always been available ‘in car’, just as it has at home.
Is there something I am missing?
Many thanks,
Yesterday, I received the reply
Dear Sean
There are now two ways to listen to DAB digital radio in your car.
The first is to fit a DAB radio where your existing Radio /CD player is.
The second is an add-on that is powered from the in-car power socket.
The Radio is attached to your windscreen (like a Sat Nav) and recieves
DAB stations then transmits them to your car radio on an FM frequency.
Best wishes
5 live
Besides spelling ‘receives’ incorrectly, the BBC also failed to answer my question, which was WHAT IS THE POINT IN THE NEW JINGLE? Oh well…
Last night, a friend of mine made use of the free joke service from 118 118 (you basically text the word “JOKE” to 118118).
This is what got sent to his mobile:
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife is.
Needless to say, I found this joke so funny that I laughed myself into an incontinent state; soaking my jeans with urine. I hope after reading the joke, you haven’t done the same.
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
