We're you spitting feathers?

Should have been. Some guy barged on like it was a scrum to force everyone away from the door. I grabbed him by the collar and toe punted him out, he fell, everyone clapped and I got nicked. LTP were on the platform and gave him a bollocking for being a prick, got me in the sh*t of which nothing came of it. Luckily a woman was injured and I used that as my 'hero' defence.

How Safe are Britain's Roads? on BBC2 now. I've seen 30 seconds of it and it's already annoyed the fcuk out of me.

Agreed Matt, when the female presenter went to change gear in her mini in the first 5 mins and I saw a coffee cup sitting there, then he rolls up in his renault with the hub caps missing I thought he we go.... The bit about crossing your arms in front of the air bag was interesting though.

Agreed. Ignorant presenters (although probably representative of the general public). I also don't for a second believe the Espace guy went round that corner at 27MPH.

Couriers not showing up when they are scheduled to! Make sure I'm at home for when they call and they just don't show up. Grrrr. Just cost me £12 to rearrange a delivery for a time when I can be there. Twunts.

ONCE AGAIN Vigrin tech (overseas) support. They have reached new levels of incompetence! On demand jittery / stuttering (iPlayer, known issue apparently). But my broadband hasn't been right since the upgrade to 30 meg. I called tv tech support, they supposedly put me through to broadband, but actually just basic customer services. They then eventually put me through to johnny foreigner (broadband support). I had already pre empted their first question of whether I was wireless or wired connected. So I had connected my laptop to the superhub via ethernet cable and run a speed test (using the web site they previously told me to use). I was getting 16meg at best down to about 13 meg. Tried this about 6 times. Johnny foreigner asks if I was wired or wireless, so I told him wired. He then wanted to connect to my laptop and he then connected to the superhub. He then asked me if I had made any changes, and I told him I had changed the 2.4GHz to 5GHz for my pc upstairs as that band is unused. He then said that's my speed problem and changed it back to 2.4GHz. How the fcuk is that in any way related to a wired connection? He then re-ran the test and it was still slow. So he then changed the wireless SSID. Again how the fcuk is that in anyway related to wired connection. You fcuking dumb retard! Surprisingly still slow. He then updated the network adaptor driver in my laptop (ffs, just put someone on the phone who is competent). And it was still slow. Finally, he has booked an engineer to come round. He asks if I want a 7 - 12 or 12 to 4. I told him I don't finish work until 4:30, so need a 5pm appointment. He then asks again whether I want a 7-12 or 12 to 4. I said again I need an evening appointment. He then muttered something about not doing those, but then mentioned 4 till 7. I told him again after 5. In the end I just got so fcuked off with it, I said after 4. And this all amounted to 1 1/4 hours of my life wasted. USELESS fcuking doodahs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A thing to bear in mind. Is the level of punter the average customer service agent is used to dealing with. I've worked around the call centre industry for a few years and I've heard enough stories. People phoning up to complain they've lost all thei TV channels....some way into the call asking you if the power cut has something to do with it etc....i sh*t you not.

Having english as a first language is a sure benefit though.

Yeah I understand some of that. But why change wireless settings and expecting it to affect wired connectivity?

Cnuts indeed. I despise overseas call centres. They are cheap for a reason

No question brother, no question! Which in lies the problem with running tech support with non english speaking people they can only run through prescripted routines and procedures. No training or actual use of the equipment. They're just reading a bloody script and clicking on your responses. You can blame the outsourced call centre or whatever dumb ass project team, (most likely also not technical) from virgin put through the scripted scenarios for the poor fkrs. All round shite though. Pretty sure Virgin still handle some of their calls from Glenrothes.
