What pisses you off..? ;o)

[Coumarin]

my brave old sister, taken to hospital, heart trouble again. its enough to drive you mad, luckily there is a band that can cover every emotion and in some way keeps me out of an asylum

[Master Ray]

Best wishes to you sis, mate, hope it all works out OK.

[Master Ray]

The cash machine I used a few hours ago chewed up my card and then broke down, leaving me with no way of accessing my cash and about £1.20 to last me until Monday, when they re-open...

On the bright side, thanks to their numerous f-ups recently (see previous posts on the subject) they are basically my bee-yatch nowadays, I'll be there first thing on Monday and I'm sure the financial compensation will follow...

Still pissed off, though.

Update... looks like I fell victim to a cashpoint fraud.  Went to me bank today to find out that my account was drained of all cash and the c-words still managed to run up nearly £1500 of debt in my name, all in the space of an hour.  How the fook did they manage that?  I sometimes struggle with my bank security stuff when I try and buy stuff!  Much less exceed my overdraft limit when I get text messages when I exceed my limit by so much as a penny?   

I swear there was nothing unusual about that cashpoint.  Looks like it'll be written off by the bank fraud people, but still a shocker.  Bottom line, IMO... never use external cash machines.  Won't make that mistake again.

Wow ray that's fcking shocking, you never think when you use a atm that could happen. Glad it looks like your getting the money back even so I would be fcking raging.

That posh toss pot piggie Cameron have the nerve to attack the snp because one of their mps is caught up in alleged property mis dealings , after all the shit his mob have done what a fcking cheek !

[Shush]

That's really bad mate, I hope the bank compensate you. Always best to cover the key pad with one hand and type with the other when putting in your pin -- or do the know yet if the atm had a false front to read the card ?

[Master Ray]

No fake front, apparently they can slip something over and inside the card reader slot that will be tighter than a condom, read all details and then block / disable the cash machine just long enough for the mug (ie, ME) to walk away, thinking it's a simple breakdown, then they come in, retrieve the device and spend, spend, spend... 

Cnuts.

[Master Ray]

Update.  Looks like my bank was hit multiple times over the weekend by these c-words, all monies to be refunded by tomorrow morning.   

Still would like to see the bastards hung from the nearest lamp-post though.

Blimey! You been reading the Daily Mail again big fella? 

Glad you got your money back and that must have been a long few days for you 

[Coumarin]

cheers ray, she seems ok a few days after, a bit shaken up as its the second time. but ok.

 on the subject of cashpoints. it told me a few days ago.

please remove your card. thank you for your custom.... no 'kin money came out! I've done that before when pissed about 25 years back. typed my pin number in and walked away forgetting to take the money. it was retracted back into the ATM after a few minutes. a phone call from "midland" as it was then, confirmed this and all was sorted. I got a mini statement,

this is happening quite often it seems (talking to colleagues) with modern cash machines (the ones with a headphone socket)  a very brief message is displayed that the ATM cannot dispense your money and it will be credited back to you account.... what the hell is that!!!

I came to my banks cashpoint to get some....ermmm cash? and told im not allowed and should sit on the naughty step for being rude enough to think of such a request. They don't even give interest on a current account. so whats wrong with stuffing money in your mattress again?

[Pol]

Everything is automated money these days, bac , direct debit, PayPal , chip and pin , I reckon you probably never see about 80/90 % of your money. Now it great and very convenient when it works but I fcking pain when it doesn't

[Coumarin]

ah....but I keep an eye on things....I was unemployed for 11 months and it was tough, the main thing is you get fat. because you cant afford fresh food, and that is a spiral.

Camerons big speech today, basically taking a comment by Corbyn WELL out of context and accusing him of being a terrorist supporter...

I suppose he had to do something pretty big to divert from the whole 'dead pig shagger' thing... but, wow, this was a new low...

I was in Manchester last Friday and the whole 'ring of steel' thing around the conference centre, complete with snipers on roofs aimed at the general public... 

[Pol]

I do the same, the bank and atm is right next door, so I get a mini statement most days
Try working in a chip shop and living above a Chinese to find out about getting fat lol

[Pol]

Cameron speech also pissed me off. More so about his stuff about helping the poor and the disadvantaged , what by cutting tax credits allowing landlords to charge extortionate rents, bedroom tax, benefit sanctions, atos stabbing the disabled in back . Child poverty and the homeless numbers have increased massively as well as the number and use of food banks. Yet still he sits on his fat posh arse and allows the utility companies to rip us off guess he doesn't want to upset his posh share holder mates

Evening MR

Well the security had to be there because of the constant and quite intimidating protesters. Yes I've been in Manchester this week as well. Loud and threatening protesters that were not present at the Labour and Liberal conferences. So much for Jeremys "be nice" edict.

As for the dead pig thing that keeps being mentioned. I don't know whether it is true, and neither do you. However it seems unlikely. If you buy Private Eye this week, look at their article on it discussing Elisabeth Oakshott who surprise surprise is the daughter of venal Lord Oakeshott failed politician and backstabber supreme. Add Lord Ashcroft to it, a man refused grace and favour he believed he could buy and a fair person would conclude the account is probably bollocks, like or loath Cameron. Read how Elisabeth Oakeshott has admitted there is not a scrap of truth in it, but it made good PR.

This may surprise you but I agree with JC that we need to stop the ya-boo politics. Me, I like some evidence for assertions, whoever it is about. You rightly castigate Cameron for his unfounded comments on Corbyn, but do the same to Cameron?
