General Discussion Area / it could work

« on: 09 February 2011, 16:40:27 »

Did you know that you have the right to speak to a UK person when you call a company for a service or whatever.

I've done this when I simply couldn't understand the person talking to me.

But I never realised that this is a proactive way of bringing jobs back to the UK.
Do the following when you phone any customer service operation that is based in a foreign country. I have done this twice and it works!

Any time you call a company about a problem with a credit card, bank account, computer, product, etc and you are answered by a person in a call centre abroad, eg. in India, try this:

As soon as you realise that the customer service person is not in the UK (you can always ask if you are not sure about the accent), please very politely (very politely - this is not about trashing other cultures) say, "I'd like to speak to a customer service person in the United Kingdom."

The rep might suggest talking to his/her manager, but, again, politely say, "Thank you, but I'd like to speak to a customer service person in the UK .."

YOU WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED to a rep in the UK.. It only takes a few seconds to have your call re-directed to the UK .

Tonight when I got redirected to a UK rep, I asked again to make sure - and yes, she was in Swansea.

Imagine if tomorrow, every UK citizen requests a UK rep, how that would impact on the number of extra UK jobs needed. Imagine what would happen if every UK citizen insisted on talking to only UK phone reps from this day on.

Remember - the goal is to restore jobs back here at home - not to be abrupt or rude to a foreigner.

General Discussion Area / new airgun law

« on: 03 February 2011, 23:58:49 »

I have just become aware of that new airgun law comes into force on 10 February. In essence one will be liable for a fine of up to £1000 if you don't lock up your airgun so it cannot be available to kids (means under-18s).

Details are on the home office website http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/media-c...s/lock-and-key . Difficult to believe this new legislation appeared on their site on 27th Jan and the law comes into effect 10th Feb . BASC are supporting the move it appears: http://www.basc.org.uk/en/media/pres...5D9C42CCD1DAE7

General Discussion Area / Inner peace

« on: 08 November 2010, 16:27:03 »

I am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me and
we could all use more calm in our lives.

By following the simple advice I heard on a TV show, I have
finally found inner peace.

A Doctor proclaimed the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all
the things you have started.

So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't
finished, and, before leaving the house this morning, I finished off
a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, a
butle of vocka, a pockage of Prunglies, tha mainder of botal Prozic
and Valum scriptins, the res of the Chesescke an a box a choclits.

Yu haf no idr hou fkin gud I feal.

Peas sen dis orn to dem yu fee AR in ned ov inr pis

To which her seven year old repplied. " i`m surprised it could fly with a cock that big"

General Discussion Area / marriage

« on: 24 October 2010, 10:36:04 »

We just celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with not much to celebrate. When it came time to re-enact our wedding night, he locked himself in the bathroom and cried.

Day 2
Today, he says he has a big secret to tell me. He's impotent, he says, and he wants me to be the first to know. Why doesn't he tell me something I don't know! I mean, he actually thinks I haven't noticed.

Day 3
This marriage is in trouble. A woman has needs. Something must change soon.

Day 4
A miracle has happened! There's a new drug on the market that will fix his "problem". It's called Viagra. I told him that if he takes Viagra, things will be just like they were on our wedding night. I think this will work. I replaced his Prozac Pills with the Viagra Pills, hoping to lift something other than his mood.

Day 5
What absolute bliss!!

Day 6
Isn't life wonderful. But it's difficult to write while he's exercising his new found MANHOOD.

Day 7
This Viagra thing has gone to his head. No pun intended! Yesterday, at Burger King, the manager asked me if I'd like a Whopper. He thought they were talking about him. But, I have to admit it's very nice -- I don't think I've ever been so happy.

Day 8
I think he took too many over the weekend. Yesterday, instead of mowing the lawn, he was using his new friend as a weed whacker. I'm also getting a bit sore.

Day 9
No time to write. He might catch me.

Day 10
Okay, I admit it. I'm hiding. I mean, a girl can only take so much and to make matters worse, he's washing the Viagra down with Jack Daniels whisky! What am I going to do? I feel tacky all over....

Day 11
I'm basically being screwed to death. It's like living with a Black and Decker drill. I woke up this morning hot-glued to the bed. Even my armpits hurt. He's a complete PIG.

Day 12
I wish he was gay. I've stopped wearing make-up, cleaning my teeth or even washing but he still keeps coming after me! Even terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tireding has become dangerous...

Day 13
Every time I shut my eyes, there's a sneak attack! It's like going to bed with a scud missile. I can hardly walk and if he tries that "Oops, sorry" thing again, I'll kill the b*stard.

Day 14
I've done everything to turn him off. Nothing is working. I even started dressing like a Nun, but this just seems to make him hornier. Help me!

Day 15
I think I'll have to kill him. I'm starting to stick to everything I sit on. The cat and dog won't go near him and our friends don't come over any more. Last night I told him to go screw himself and he did.

Day 16
The b*stard has started to complain about not getting enough. I hope the bloody thing explodes. I did suggest he might try stopping the Viagra and going back on Prozac.

Day 17
Switched the pills but it doesn't seem to have made any difference...HELP! Here he comes again!

Day 18
Aaaahhhh! He's back on Prozac. The lazy b*stard just sits there in front of the TV all day with that remote control in his hand and expects me to do everything for him.

What absolute bliss!
