[QUOTE=kaivalagi;2980072]...and worked in GSBS in SS2 if that means anything....[QUOTE]


St Stephens tower 2. Spent a summer as a temp in there, writing out direct debit mandates which was mind numbingly boring but got me enough money to buy my first bike. Also did 2 summers at NUAM in Wintethur House (sp?), and one in a tiny office near the train station. All in the days before most clerical tasks were moved to Sheffield and before they became Aviva.

I may have even met you, I often visited that little office to sort out network routing for services etc, worked on group auth service for eISA at that time...this was just before the Cgnu transition

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

I was in SS2 from May to November 1998. Contracted to be a designer of DB2 databases (NU was mostly DL1 at the time). In July and August 2000 I was on a contract in Perth after the CGNU merger changing laser printer templates.

You can use the freephone number on 0800 4080797 or call each hotel direct on the local line. If you can't find a listing for it just go to this site.

Parents who insist in parking directly outside schools where there is a no parking restriction, because they can't be arsed to park a bit further away & walk their little darlings the 200 metres to the school gates.

being told my youngest wont get any funding for collage till around Christmas so that's £90 a week i have to find till he does get his funding. i can see hard times ahead and my little nest egg disappearing before my eyes.

should have wore a condom or put the pill in the missus T, in fact come to think of it i should have just stayed single.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Although I do drive my little darling to school most days, I park round the corner and walk the final bit

I found it most amusing when your colleagues were dishing out penalty notices to the parents who flouted the signage & yellow lines. The best one was the 7 series BMW driver who got most irate after being given a ticket

Today's classic was a mother who parked on the single yellow line, just outside the zig zag lines of the Pelican crossing, who then proceed to get her newbrn baby out of its baby seat on the offside of the car, endangering not only herself but her newborn. She could have parked in a quiet side street 20 metres away, but no.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

"We want to talk to you about the accident you had recently, you have £7865 in unclaimed compensation!" calls 3-6 times a day

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

My home phone is now never used for personal calls. It is usually used for automated messages from *insert product choice* and foreign call centres trying surveys or telling you your Microsoft computer is at risk.


Although now I have been in an accident that involved the police, I'm sure I will be getting those calls too, and a lot of text messages offering me lots of money :rolleyes:

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

I've gotten texts to say that I'm owed thousands from my recent accident claim.
Thing is I've not had it yet and the payout so big I'm frightened to leve the house.....

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Cats thinking it's OK to go outside in the biggest thunderstorm of the year before coming in soaking wet and miowing loudly then deciding as I'm now awake it's acceptable to dry themselves off in bed on me at 5am when I'm nice and warm and dry under the duvet.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

No, they'll be trying to UPGRADE you to a different account, with free holiday insurance, breakdown, mobile insurance etc etc.

Halifax tried this on us. In hindsight it wasn't a bad deal & I may change my Nationwide account to one of these.

There is a monthly fee to pay, but the interest is better

Not good

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Automated phone calls telling me that I haven't taken up the governments offer of a free boiler when I am not entitled to one anyway. And PPI calls too.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

One of my wife's friends texting her in the early hours of the morning. No she wasn't out on the lash, just feeding her little boy. Can't it fecking wait and not disturb my sleep.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

No no, they have checked their records and you are definitely entitled to one! Doesn't matter if you lived on the moon, they'd still try it on!

Horses.

Women and horses.

Re: Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

That'll be the Halifax ultimate reward account £10 after your £5 reward back and it gives you a small discount on contents insurance l. Gives you mobile phone insurance etc and better rates for taking money out abroad. There are some more but they are a few benefits I make use of so I get my £10 back effectively on what I get out of it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Oh and waking up at 5am for work :(

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Ed Balls, nuff said.

Labour are headline grabbing again, "we need to balance the books" so their MP's will take a 5% pay cut if they get in power, oh, that will help with a £90 billion deficit (which they created), mugs :smt097

Being told by the barista at Camden Food Co. after taking my coffee back that if I'd wanted it hot I should have asked for it that way. Do most people want tepid coffee as standard?
