nightwolf Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I'm really starting to hate banks, truly. My mum called about half an hour ago, apprently my bank sent me a letter telling me that until I call them back on an 0800 number they weren't going to even try to give me my money back..fair enough I say, until she tells me they TRIED to ring me tuesday. Now I know this is bullshit because I've had my phone by my side all week and been up all week since 8am, there's no record on my phone of them calling me and for the bank and possiblitiy of a job I haven't phoned anybody, I'm incredibly angry, so now I have to waste alot of money for their idiocy again. Grr.

You said 0800 like its a bad thing, but you know thats free right?
nightwolf Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Which bank are you with? Im with Barclays and they got it sorted out in the first phonecall. Was very happy with them. Oh don't get me wrong when I submitted the fraud in the first place they were pretty good, but I'm annoyed as hell that they lied about calling me. I'm with halifax as it is.
ReZourceman Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Congrats DaN!:!!!!! Just came back from the osteopath. Even she says I need a holiday. Also, just read a lol worthy comment, Comment: Response: 'Wincest'. lol. Best thing, quite literally ever. I'm with halifax as it is. Well theres your problem.
nightwolf Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Well theres your problem. Probably, but since I've got two accounts with them I've never been unhappy with them until now, they never push me for a credit card or for a big overdraft, they just happen to lie about phone calls. Hopefully my faith might be restored tomorrow.
martinist Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I smell of apple perfume, tbh it starts to choke me after a while and now my room reeks of it. In other news, i feel incredibly sick...might go and have a little nap or somthing
Razz Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I passed my driving test this morning, first try too! So bloody happy it's unreal. I love how I've driven absolutely everywhere today, despite the fact I usually walk to them all. I'm going to get so obese and I love it.
Aimless Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 [T]hey just happen to lie about phone calls. Well, they said they "tried" to ring you, so that could mean, "I had the intention of phoning you but my hands fell off when I reached for the handset." Technically the attempt was made, spontaneous dismemberment just happened to intervene before there was any dialling out. I admit this isn't the most likely explanation.
Dyson Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Very drunk night last night for a friends' birthday party, got home at 8:10am before sleeping, and still felt drunk as I got in to bed. Failed to sleep very well and only now getting the hangover. It's a funny one, alcohol
Ashley Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Congrats Dan and Razzamatazz! Another bleh day of nothingmuchness. Got some stuff done that I told myself I had to so thats good I suppose. About to go watch Fantasia but also kinda want to rewatch The Fall because I found a screencap gallery and it is a fucking beautiful film.
Pookiablo Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Many Congrats Dan, I know what a great feeling it is to be accepted to an MA after they keep you waiting in suspense! Sounds like a very interesting course you've signed yourself up for there! Also well done to Razz, enjoy your new found mobility and freedom! Just been down the gym, just did some running and rowing, with a tiny bit of cycling too. Was pretty good, seeing as earlier in the day I had done some weight training - flatter stomach here I come (who am I kidding...).

I love how I've driven absolutely everywhere today, despite the fact I usually walk to them all. I'm going to get so obese and I love it. Woo, driving test pass buddies! It's strange how quickly you get into bad habits with driving. Already I'm steering one handed, crossing arms, skipping mirror checks, and speeding at every opportunity. I'm so bad >_>
nightwolf Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Haha indeed, I only started doing all that crap since I started driving in sheffield mind you, I was pretty good until that point.
Daft Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) How's your back feeling then, is holistic treatment the way forward? :p It feels a bit better. I think I want someone to really have a go and crack my back into place. £6 for an hour long massage in Thailand. It cost about £60 here. I think I need it, though. Best thing, quite literally ever. I know!! I'm trying to work out how to get it into a joke without making myslef out as some kind of weirdo. More so than normal. Edited August 13, 2009 by Daft

If you have a little cousin / nephew / whatever, get them to do it. Just tell them to beat you up as you lie down.
Ashley Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 If you hightail it over to Highgate Jodie is quite good with massages and cracking backs, sorted me out a few times.
Daft Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 If you have a little cousin / nephew / whatever, get them to do it. Just tell them to beat you up as you lie down. Sadly that isn't an option although I like the out of the box thinking. If you hightail it over to Highgate Jodie is quite good with massages and cracking backs, sorted me out a few times. I need a professional. I was in a monastery in Thailand and I could actually hear the shock on the guy's face who was cracking my back. The osteopath today was surprised at how tense I was. I wasn't.
Eenuh Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Ah I could use some good back cracking I think heh. My back, shoulders and neck tense up a lot and feel rock hard (and you know, with those knots in there), so a good massage would be nice haha. Most of my day felt crappy and I got a bit upset over things, but I'm better now I guess. Played with the dog to take my mind off things heh. Might be going to see a film with my cousin tomorrow, if she replies to my txt. Could use some distraction. =P
Gizmo Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I crack my neck several times a day. It feels awesome to do, if you can get a good sweep all the way around of big cracks it's really satisfying.

I can't do any cracking myself. =( Well sometimes my hip or my back makes a loud popping/cracking noise, but it's never on purpose and it usually doesn't feel good. =P Hmmm I think I'll somehow have to trick Flinky into giving me a good backrub or something. =P

My back, shoulders and neck tense up a lot and feel rock hard (and you know, with those knots in there), so a good massage would be nice haha. She was telling me it was a combination of my recent stress and stuff like my job all last year where I was at a computer all the time. I really need to not just sort out my posture but also how my computer is set up. I crack my neck several times a day. It feels awesome to do, if you can get a good sweep all the way around of big cracks it's really satisfying. In the middle I asked if cracking your fingers was bad. She said yes. I was sad. I can crack my back by crossing my legs when sitting down and tensing. THAT feels awesome. ...and cannot be good. :p

Had some serious back problems due to lots of stress and depression and sitting behind a desk constantly. Had to go to a chiropractor for a while to sort it out. So yeah, changing your life style and posture should help. =) And cracking fingers is badddd. So I assume cracking other body parts is just as bad haha.
