Long haul flight next to a 1 year old. And with B.A. who I've never had a good experience with BA. They deserve to fail as an organisation.

So tired.

I've been back at work one week and it's totally wiped me out.

Good job I bought an espresso machine eh?

Does caffeine really get you going? It doesn't do anything for me. Alcopops tho send me a bit mental. But I can't really drink those at work when I need an upper!

Coffee? Oh hell Yes!

Never had alcopops, I'm more of a pint of ale lad.

Currently fatigue is mental as well as physical though.

That's my poison! I've been banned from drinking it in polite company.

Sorry to hear that. I did wonder about you when I heard about the incident with the copper trying to lay a stinger. Hope things get better for you soon.

Cold calls - specifically the current ones coming from consumer lifestyle surveys. Getting somewhere between 4 - 8 calls from them everyday up to 11pm and they will not take no for an answer. They tell me that they are conducting a two minute survey and every time that I say no they just start the survey anyway. I ask them to stop and they carry on, I ask to speak to a supervisor and they just carry on or give me abuse, I ask to be removed from their calling list and they either carry on or give me abuse, some of them just hang up. Seriously getting fed up with these guys.

Had somebody put in a PayPal claim on a remap box for significantly not as described.. Three months after receiving item! Received the box back and the license has been used! So out of pocket £84 for the box, £40 if I want to rebuy the license, and £9 postage.

Do PayPal care.. No.

Rant over
