Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 28)
Discussion
Spent the last 45mins on the phone with Barclays Premier (and subsequently Barclaycard) when they rang me about changes to their investment banking and also then about why I keep being sent great rates and offers but cant accept them ... and its apparently because when I was a student and had a platinum barclaycard and fell behind (being a poor student with awful money management skills) for a few months before settling it all in full with a loan I "breached their T&Cs of usage" ... OK I get that, but surely when youve remained a customer of their sister bank and progressed to their Premier tier and maintain good accounts (and credit files) the situation is obviously different to some 15yrs previous!
Or if you have full life long rules, stop sending my stuff!!
Anyway, never mind ... life is too short!!
I have the joy of a train ride to that there London later so am preparing for the wonderment of such a journey!

Cycled to the bank this morning to depoist some money. I noticed as I was unlocking my bike that someone had put stickers on all the bike rails written in marker pen saying 'massage 07XXXXXXXXX'. lolwhat.
Have you tried the number yet to see what the score is?I guess it's somebody's version of frozen sausages.

So thats why I keep getting messages asking if I can help with a bit of 'pumping' and do I do 'chaining up'
I bet its the tax man

But that's not the point. You see the manure is only on the weeds not the geraniums in Brussels. Its the UKIP win win over the shrinking violets.
Have you considered moving away from English Garden analogies to explain Brexit to Mrs Pushfit?Try her with:
The big stick of Europe meets the custard pie of Britain.
Our shower's playing up a bit. It still works, just not as well as it should. I've just had a chat with Mrs B about it.
Her: 'What's the score with this shower business then?'
'Not sure, it might need a new pump. I need to have a proper look at it.'
'Is it a big job if the pump needs changing?'
'No, not really. Probably take me a couple of hours or so I guess. Depends if I can find a direct replacement or I might have to alter the pipework a bit.'
'Oh, that's good. You might as well re-tile the bathroom and fit a new suite whilst you're about it then.'

There is an arctic chase involving ski-doos, armoured vehicles, an orange Lamborghini and, get this, a submarine. Too fast too amphibious
