t.People who are incapable of peeling a banana.
Following on from the useless information thread, someone has posted a youtube video where they honestly highlight the difficulties they have in peeling a banana.
He goes from banging it on the worktop, to biting it.......
BITING IT!?
It's a fking banana your brainless cretin.
Luckily though, this mother of all gaylords demonstrates his technique of "Pinch and Squeeze" to peel the banana.
God almighty, when will darwinism prevail!?

DHL. The supplier of my new laptop texts me to let me know the tracking number and that it will be delivered today (while I'm in work). Then text a few mins later to say "here's the number, go to this website to rearrange delivery".
So I go online to arrange to collect. First available date is tomorrow. No indication anywhere on the site of where I collect it from (but I expect the address is on the card through my door at home). I go ELSEWHERE on the DHL site to find where to collect it and find the nearest depot to me is in Northampton about 25 mins drive away. And its only open until 6pm. And is closed at weekends. And I work in London and don't get back to Milton Keynes much before 6, never mind Northampton.
Whoo, 10/10 for customer service there...!

SO, I opted for them to try and deliver so they leave a card or leave it with a neighbour if they're in - I always do this. If I need to collect, I can then go and get the package when I get home. Every other courier I've collected from is open until at least 7pm, allowing me time to go and pick up. DHL is the first one I've come across that isn't.
So yes, I think DHL's restricted (compared to the competition) opening hours are mad! Its 2011, most people are at work during office hours and can't necessarily be that flexible with their domestic arrangements.

I hate diesel engined cars, I can see no good reason (apart from company car tax) for them they are noisy , even up- market ones are
But more practical and more useful that a 'Creative Director'.Some of us prefer functionality to looks good, feels good, smells good.
"you are feeling sleepy, very sleepy' new age BS, maany years ago got ripped off by one of you snake sales men' bunch on con-artists
Thank you for taking the time to type some personal insults. I see how it improved your argument.

The fact that I can't seem to get angry when I should.
Having worked in many customer-facing jobs, I can sense when "calming" tactics are being used on me and always back down. Even when the service I have received is absolutely shocking.
My Octavia has been in the garage for three of the six months that I've owned it, being fixed under warranty. I've tried approaching them about a total refund, but they insist they can fix it all, and it will "be ready tomorrow". This week they managed to take three days to fit four tyres,then called me too late for me to pick it up so I had to take their courtesy car up North for a funeral. I've now done more miles in the courtesy car than I have in the Skoda. Went to pick it up today and it's now developed two new problems - clutch slipping, and overheating in traffic. Drove it back to the dealer - "we'll just have a quick look at it."
Two hours later we're still sitting in the waiting room. "Not long now, just getting a part." An hour later the part is on, and they take it for a test drive. It comes back and they hand me the keys to the courtesy car back, saying it'll be ready tomorrow.
I'll believe that when I see it. Now it looks like I'll have to be driving up to Scotland on Wednesday in either their 1.5 Impreza (not enough power to pull the skin off a rice pudding, yet only 28mpg) or an Elise, which isn't exactly ideal either.
The thing that annoys me most of all is that I should be going batst crazy at these people, demanding they do what they said they were going to do, demanding my money back and looking elsewhere. Part of me is just too nice to do that, and the other part actually really likes the car and wants it back. I bought it because it was very "me". An inconspicuous repmobile that can blend in with traffic, but still bring that smile to your face when you floor it. I've got a remap on a box waiting for it here, and a better DV to fit to handle the extra boost. Fix my fking car you absolute useless s!
