I know I'm old-fashioned, but what has happened to the concept of good manners these days?

Good manners are / should be ageless Andy!

I was referring to previous years, but I don't expect this year to be any different!

Anyway, 'tis better to give than receive so I'd better take my Scrooge hat off now.

It's also rather annoying to call a "not-quite-so-brand-name" appliance's customer service TECHNICAL phone#, only to be answered by a guy with a difficult to interpret accent - eating what sounds like a greasy turkey leg with a mere "Hello?!" (and of course there's children crying in the background) - He has no idea of the product (but he was a real tech, just incompetent) And his whole tone is, "why are you bothering me while my family is eating dinner?!"....of course I'm wondering the EXACT same thing! (that's AudioVox for ya' ~5 years ago)

Sounds a bit like the electrical shop with the spotty fresh out of high school individual who comes up and says can I help you sir? (to which I am thinking eerrrrr you don't look as if you can but.......) yeah does the whatever dada come with HDMI DVI and VGA sockets and you get that have you just arrived from the planet Zod look!:shock: (when in fact you have just landed on the planet Zod)

You can still find those little magnets to strap onto your fuel line to "Improve Mileage" and that scam is at least 35 years old now so... why not?

Fseal also magnets can 'cure' arthritus pains too.

Some nitwit even tried to convince me that you could use them to stick pictures your kid had drawn to the refrigerator.

People.

He he Prof I've got some rare earth magnets I used for gold prospecting you could stick the kid to the fridge with :roflmao:

Having a birthday on a crap day.. Mines january 1st.

Now most people don't get why its crap, unless you have a crap date like mine or christmas.

Mainly because normally a birthday outing is your special day, and that's why your mates are all there, but I can only really celebrate new years eve as everywheres closed on the 1st, so everyone is there for that not my birthday, its also stupidly busy and just not special.

Also as I live in a field I rely on taxi's after a night out, but they become double price after midnight.. Soo over £50 to get home.

And this year I've not got a sofa to sleep on at a mates... Sooo I'm stuck, so going to spend it at home.. Yay..

Out of my 22 birthdays and 4 as an adult I've spent 2 out with mates..

And before anyone suggests celebrating another day, I shall reply with "what if I said celebrate christmas in august, and then in december make no festive plans or decorations.. Its just not the same"

So bah! (Not in a good mood this morning lol)

Whichever of my neighbours it is who thinks it's OK to let their dog crap outside my front door, and walk away without cleaning it all up...

Establish which of your neighbours has a dog. Grab a shovel............do you see where I'm going with this?

A letterbox would be good.

I was thinking of a mailed envelope marked "prize draw winner..."

...and get yourself an elephant- temporarily of course. :devil:

Once should be sufficient.

Quite. I'm not sure I'm likely to find one going spare locally though!

Though not practical it would be great revenge.
