Camera breaks
Take camera to Comet.
'We'll have to send it away'.
'OK Cool, how long?'
'It might take up to 21 days but thats the longest'
'Fine no probs'
'Nice one'
'Ta. See ya'

21 days later.
'Hi is my camera ready'
'Erm has someone rung you'
'No but its been 21 days'
Boy goes to look.
'Can't find it. They will ring you when its fixed'
'Ok well should I ring and chase it up'
'Can do'
'So do you have the number'
'No'

Week later
Received letter in post: "Your camera will be fized by 27th March. If its not we will let you know well in advance of any delay"

27th March
'Hi is my camera fixed'
'Can't find it'
'ARGGGGHHHHH'
'Have they rung you'
'no'
'well they will ring you'
'I have a letter saying it will be ready'
'Oh, erm, sorry I don't know where it is'
'Right shall I ring a number on Monday then and chase it up'
'Can do'
'Right , ok, thanks for approximately nothing'

Monday
Presses a million numbers to get through to cusotmer services
'Hi, I am chasing my camera'
'Ok, where did you take it'
'Trafford'
'Ok can you hang on whilst I ring them'
'Erm, I was there on Saturday, its NOT there, they told me to ring you'
'Ok, I'll ring you back in 2 mins'

2 mins later presumably after they have rung Trafford and they can't find it.
'Hi, ok so we are going to ring you back after 2pm'
'What 2pm today?'
'Yeah, Becky will ring you back after 2pm'
I assume Becky is his manager and deals with lost cameras.

Watch this space Effers for an update.

Just horrendous

The main reason for me seeing up this little corner of hate and anguish away from the delightful gorgeousness of cupcake heaven was wanting to have a rant about the eye bleeding awfulness of this advert without it soiling all over the posts it would be next to....so here we go. I think its so awful I might have to do a list.

1. If she's that bloody famous, why weren't her security tearing after her down the road, when she took off assumingly just before her encore.
2. This was originally a Sammy Davis Jr song. So the very idea of Duffer strangling it with her welsh smokers cough of a voice is bad enough, but the fact they have they have transposed any meaning to relate to drinking a fizzy drink it unforgiveable.
3. Since when have you been allowed to ride bikes down the aisles in Sainsurys? Presumably Jamie Oliver okayed this?
4. Who, and I mean WHO, thought that black and white striped sequins and military blue denim-look 200 denier tights go together?
5. Is this the same WHO, who thought that Duffer would look good in hotpants?
6. And presumably the same WHO, thought that tucking her sequined top in, squeezing a belt round her was a good idea.
7. And then WHO having seen what the previous WHO had poured her into sartorially, decided they should balance her onto a racer and push her down the high street. Surely the most unladylike and unsexy pose known to humankind.
8. Whats with her shoes?
9. If the fames so bloody much for her why doesn't she just eff off and leave us all in peace, honestly, we don't mind.
10. Have some bloody respect for the bike you nicked off some poor unsuspecting lackey. Don't just fling it back against another one when you have finished being 'free'.
Twat.

Eff You You Effer

COMET

Just horrendous
