What does annoy me is the amount they charge to re-glaze (their term... :lol: ) a pair of specs. It works out cheaper to buy a new pair... :confused
I know that one. It's part of rip off Britain and the throw away culture.

Anyone else think Martys double glazing looks like this... (warning image may contain images of a nutter...)

Carphone Warehouse. To repair my phone only actually costs about £100. They were charging over £170, but because I didn't buy my phone from them they won't repair it. It's not like they had me bent over with the price of it or anything, £7+0 profit for one phone is not exactly bad, absolute arseholes. Now the next cheapest place I can find is £190 and I have to send it in the mail to them, rather than dropping it off in person (which I naturally prefer) and it gets sent back in the mail to my address, which means if I get a sneaky tw@ of a postman or any of the usual Richard in Rugby being nosey parkers (such as the last one for sneaking into our wombles garage) I will lose my phone. Ughhh.

wombles Carphone Warehouse.. That's a sh1t business model, they're losing out on a lot of money because no one in Rugby uses them as it's way out of the town centre, however it was the only place in Rugby that charged a somewhat-sensible (pfft) price to fix the phone, and they were officially certified by samsung to do it. Rage. Just. Absolute. Rage.

What's annoyed me today.... The fact I just realised that most nights I seem to be wasting. I'll get in from work around 18:15 after starting between 0600 - 0700, eat my dinner and then sit down a listen to music or the missus waffle on or just generally nothing. Feels like I'm wasting part of my life. Problem is I can not do any sports at the no due to my knee playing up again and has been for over a week (if its not better in 1.5 weeks in being referred back to the surgeon), do not have a shed/garage to get the bike stripped and a propper clean and do other bits and I don't really have any other hobbies. Just the bike really. Anyone else feel like this or is it just considered normal?

No it's not normal, most folk after a hard days graft will plonk themselves in front of the tele or in our case the forum. :lol: :lol:

So what up with your knee then? That will make you feel a bit down if it's giving you grief. You could always start wedding planning. :biggrin

Sounds a lot like my life Chris, I think it's a generation thing. Although I just play on GTA and avoid people like the plague, rather than any of those options :lol:

CK, have you enough room to build a shed? You could buy some wood (cheaper than you might expect), and plan a basic design. That's a nice little project in itself! Then when complete, stick a heater & lamp in there, then you can do man stuff in your man cave!

Everyone needs a shed.

Failing that, buy a Shoei helmet and spend the next few months trying to get the damn visor on!
