Interflora.

The showers of bds didn't use my message on the flowers I sent the missus.

I spent ages thinking of something thoughtful and from the heart . She got 'happy valentines day'

Perhaps they felt 'Blowjob tonight?' may have caused offence, and took the liberty of writing something more appropriate.

I've been informed that if the message is too long it gets "wiped" off the instruction from Interflora to the florist. It depends how many characters were in the missive.

Normally a pretty placid bloke but I have just come from the 'Free Tyre Giveaway' thread in GG and every fker is signing up to it, there is one fker with 2 posts in over 3 years, if one of these fkers wins I think the cat will be getting kicked thru the TV!

[Einion Yrth]

Unless the cat is the undeserving recipient of the free tyres, that seems a little harsh.

Uncoordinated roadworks. For example, the A30 in Bagshot (a major trunk road) was dug up for six months of last year by a water company. The resulting traffic chaos made regional news headlines on many occasions. As of yesterday, it is being dug up again, IN THE SAME PLACE for another six weeks by an electricity company.

I had that at the last place I lived. They dug up the long road and pavement outside my house, did whatever they were doing, and then filled it in. It took six months, during which none of us could park anywhere near. Then after a week of it being open they dug it all up again - the same company. That was only for four months though so not as bad. Once it was filled in and the road reopened we then had a whole two weeks before another company came along and dug it all up for the third time. I moved after that so it wouldn't surprise me if it's still getting dug up and refilled right now.

Our road was dug up many times in the space of a few years, so the council resurfaced it.

Within 6 weeks of it being resurfaced another company came along and dug it up again.

I spent two hours struggling with iTunes, had a massive anti-apple rant then tried to turn off my Windows 8 laptop only to have it "update" itself for an hour.

fk you, computers.

The incessant 'music' in Minecraft makes me want to stab a Scandanavian.

Had an automated call from "your bank" saying there was suspected fraud on my card. It was asking me to press 1 to confirm my details etc but it sounded very dodgy to me so I hung up nad rung them directly. Long story short, it was from them because apparently my card had been used somewhere dodgy today during the time I was at work. Glad they're so hot on it, but the downside is that I don't have a card for the next 3-4 days

Adverts on eBay for electrical stuff from China or Hong Kong whereby the advert has been written with either the use of Google translate or by someone who can't fking understand English. How hard can it fking be to get someone to speak the language. Even the packaging often has numerous spelling mistakes or st attempts at translation on it.

Supermarket staff who get a bit shirty when you refuse to use an auto checkout - ignoring the fact that by wanting a human staffed checkout I'm protecting their jobs

Not knowing that you have to self authorise the petrol pump at Tesco and standing there like a tt waiting for ages. A sign on the pump would have been nice

How confident would you be with your Chinese to attempt to sell to an Oriental market?

My youngest boys Spanish teacher is, strangely enough Spanish but has lived here for years,and she confused Juggling with Jiggling recently.
Of course as soon as I heard this, I marched down to the school and demanded that she be fired with immediate effect.

I mean how hard can it fking be to speak the language?
