Yep should stick to GMT. More natural for our body clocks.

I get to fix all the legacy systems that break when the clocks change.

Everyone else gets an extra hour. I get to work all night.

But it's paid overtime at least.

Why didn't anyone tell me that chain cleaner is really good at cleaning chain grease off the bike?

I know, it seems obvious now. I now have a clean rear wheel

Thought everyone knew this

Mine for today. Due to circumstances beyond my control I'm stuck in my hotel room, bored out of my mind, waiting to go to work, which won't be until later.

Plus I have a neck ache

Sometimes I wish I had a 9 to 5 Monday to Friday job

Just had an email from eBay saying they've removed one of my listings as it infringes copyright on one of the photos. Only thing is, the photo is the auto generated one you get when you select a product description. You can't remove it and it allows you 12 of your own photos alongside it. I added my own photos but couldn't delete the product shot or tech spec box that eBay insert into your listing.
I wouldn't mind as the item has already sold two days ago, but now the buyer has no listing to reference for his purchase and he can't access tracking data either and can't give feedback.

eBay also notified me via one of those no reply email addresses and say in the message not to reply as they won't read it. So, I can't feedback / complain / question it.

Insurance companies.
The usual complaint that they are shisters. You agree dates for premium payments but then find they try taking money early. Every month. Then one month the money isn't there early.
Late payment penalty. Because the money wasnt there 2 days before it had to be there.

Wtf?

Ah. They say. It's not a direct debit. You don't have the usual guarantee they tell you. It's your bank's fault for taking a few days to process a CPA.

They are so clever aren't they! So I asked for it to be confirmed in a letter but got told they don't do that. I'm going to bet I do get response via the complaints procedure. I also bet I don't use the same company again next year, or ever. They might get a £20 late payment charge out of me once, but they'll never get another penny.
