TICTH the lack of activity in Hell. Do we want our sainted mods to go unemployed? I know many of you are mad about something, you're just too lazy to type it up.

I'm currently consigning the same pack of Pit Bulls I called the cops on two weeks ago.

They're back cruising our neighborhood, because the owners just can't be bothered to keep them at home. I'm not just concerned for my own tiny dog and big fat cat, but the 90 year-old couple across the street. Oldies being the second favorite snack, after toddlers, for Pits.

Now I'm sure the owners have the gentlest Pits, ever, with pictures of the dogs sweetly napping with the baby, and they'll be quick to tell me that it's only bad owners causing Pits to kill folk, but that always leaves me to wonder why the potentially bad owners mainly seem to chose Pits and Rotts when they go dog shopping.

There they are, right now, digging up someone's garden shed to get at some poor prey. I'll feel the need to keep an eye on them all day now.

I would wish to consign all banks and building societies. I was looking forward to having my first proper holiday in 5 years. But I noticed that my debit and credit cards were due to expire before I came back. Needing a card to be valid when you check out of a hotel is kind of important so I requested replacements, but they weren't sent in time, thus preventing me from going.

So I changed banks.

I built up a balance on the new credit card and wanted to pay off the bill. With the old provider, I did this via an online transfer and that option was available on the new bank too.

Only what they'd done was that the payee named "Credit Card" was imported as my old credit card (the one I'd paid off, closed the account and physically destroyed). But they only told me this by phone after I'd tried to pay off the bill (several hundred pounds) and they'd sent the money to an account that no longer exists with a building society where I am no longer a customer. [Mad]

So not only has a substantial sum disappeared into the æther but I also have no way of actually paying the credit card bill I do have.

Coming in on the side of the banks ...

1. How much notice did you give for the new cards?

2. Did you check the details of your transfer before you did it - the banks I use have a check screen which is the equivalent of a "are you sure?")

3. Did you assume that a new mandate would be set up? Were you told that it would be?

On the evidence you've given, I'd be partly inclined to say that while the bank could've done better, they aren't mind readers and they can't set up payment mandates without your say so.

I gave 6 weeks' notice. They gave me a written promise that they would be with me in 5 working days.

It was set us as a quick transfer. When I select the option to pay from my current account, I get given about half a dozen options to pay to. The names of each of these correspond to the names of my other accounts (mostly e-savings, ISA and the credit card is at the bottom). I've transferred to account X and account Y, so it would be reasonable to think that a payment to an account labelled as account Z would go to account Z.

I was told that I could pay online, but as it turns out, this is not possible.

Comrades!

I appreciate that it's been a whole five minutes since we last had a TICTH thread, but these are the conditions by which they operate:

  • Keep it short
  • If it could sustain an extended rant/conversation, start a new thread
  • Refrain from commenting on other's TICTHs

That's pretty much it. And when I say conditions, I mean "this thread will be sent to the gulag faster than you can say 'show trial' if you screw up."

F**ing amen to that, and on that note-- stuff it, SMC Health System! [Mad]

Love note:

I was having a lovely day, bright sunshine, just the right amount of breeze, walking back to may car after hanging out at my favorite cafe-- and fucking romeo and Juliet are positioned right at the front of my car on the street, having a loud, dramatic argument, in the kind of loud theatrical tone and language that tells you they are just hoping someone will post on YouTube so the world can se Just How They Suffer.
Romeo kept flinging a Aquafina bottle against the window of his own car, and as I approached, gave me a look that told me it was a good idea to walk back down the block and keep hanging out in a cafe chair for a while.

The idiot who designed the one way system in our town with insuffient parking bays so that cars "have to" park on the pavement when the drivers need to go to a shop and can't be bothered to walk from the car park. (I'll accept that lorries need to unload their deliveries though)Also, why on earth didn't the planner but a bus bay in at the bus stop? It would have stopped the sort of jams I saw this week when there were three buses in the traffic queue - and each one needed to stop at the bus stop so pity help any motorist catching the tail end of the queue!

In my neighborhood, the city and county spent a great deal of money building new bus stops. They cleverly took a high volume intersection and built a platform out through the parking lane at great expense so that the buses have to stop in the single remaining traffic lane blocking the intersection in both directions.
So many people crossed the dividing line to go around the bus and have head on accidents that they added a concrete divider.

When the stupidity of the design was pointed out, before the thing was built, they said they had done studies saying that it would only stop traffic for two minutes at a time and save time because the bus wouldn't have to pull out of the parking lane. My personal experience was waiting 17 minutes behind a bus. It was fun because I got to politely refuse the request of the bus driver behind me that I pull out into the merge lane in the opposite direction and risk a collision.

Horrible design at vast expense that made things much worse.

We have a similar problem where I live. TICTH people who are too fucking lazy to walk the extra few steps to a FREE car park and think they have a God-given right to park right outside the shop they want to visit and then blame the town planners for their selfish attitudes.

The one thing that bugs me about being lactose intolerant is ice-cream. The sheer disappointment of queuing with friends at an ice-cream van then coming away with the cheapest ice lolly.

Sorbet is not safe either! Some people put milk in it.

However, I will sometimes buy an ice-cream and take a lactase so I do not cramp. The combination of lactase and fat relieves most of the lactose intolerant symptoms.

I keep a supply of Swedish Glace in the freezer for emergencies though I am wondering about trying Booja-Booja ice cream which Holland and Barret stock around here.

TICTH spending a perfect balmy spring evening in a church committee meeting. The highlight of the two hours I spent in that meeting was discovering that I had both a black and a blue biro in my bag, so that I could create designs whilst stabbing the back of my hand with my pens.

Although taking the first biro out of my bag was a mistake, because I was asked to take the minutes. Twelve of the others had wisely failed to take any form of writing implement, possibly to avoid being landed with the minutes.

TICTH British Telecom.
yes, I know that I was a couple of days late in setting up the on-line payment, and that it would take another couple of days before payment would clear, but the email threatening cutting off etc. clearly said "ignore this if payment has been made in the last few days". I'd checked the on-line bank, payment had gone out 2 days before - so why did you then cut off the phone line & internet?
Calling to let them know that we had paid, & to be told by a machine that you would restore the service within 10 days is not reasonable. I had followed your instructions - how is it my fault that my payment has not been recognised!
[Mad] [Mad]
The automated system that asks "what do you want to talk about" doesn't recognise "I want to speak to someone about my bill payment" did not help at all!

Orfeo, is that directed at the city, the airport, or the airline?

TICTH: the malevolent little trolls who design Microsoft Windows, who caused my most critical piece of software to malfunction and die. A plague upon them, their parents, their grandparents and their great grandparents; their brothers and their sisters and their cousins and their aunts; their offspring, yea even unto the third and fourth generation.

TICTH squirrels, who have discovered the new bird feeder in my yard and are gorging themselves while the nice cardinals and finches can't get near it. TICTH my own cheapskate tendencies which steered me away from buying the more expensive squirrel-proof feeders. Bah. Back to the store.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.

I commend these. I have two and they're excellent.

Slugs. Snails.

Can I eat the purple sprouting broccoli and the kale before they do? They had half my beautiful savoy cabbage in a flash.

Dogs. Particularly the vile crap machine that had diarrhoea on my lawn this morning, managing to hide it in some long grass so I didn't notice until after I had coated the inside of the grass clipping bag with liquid dog poo.

Also the irresponsible owner of the aforesaid arse-sniffing crapsack who failed to clean up after it - may the bowels of a thousand crows spontaneously void above his head.
